  • Family-run Mid Wales farm site and wildlife haven just off the A44
  • Llandrindod Wells 10 minutes’ drive; Hay-on-Wye 40 minutes
  • Local pub with beer garden accessed from the back of the site
Stopping over for a night, or in need of a base for a longer break meandering around Mid Wales? Either way, there’s a warm welcome at Dolswydd Caravan Park, in a handy spot just off the A44, 10 minutes’ drive from Llandrindod Wells. This family-run site is on the edge of a traditional working farm with a backdrop of open common land and the splendid Welsh hills behind. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s something of a wildlife haven, with regular visitors including red kites, otters, woodpeckers and hares, as well as the swans who stop by daily. Getting out and about in the local countryside is a cinch from here – walkers can hit major trails like Glyndŵr’s Way and the Offa’s Dyke Path (the visitor’s centre for the latter is in Knighton, a 20-minute drive away), or find quiet local lanes to wander along. Golf, horse riding, canoeing, archery and climbing are among the other activities available nearby, and there’s fishing next door to the site on the River Ithon. Modern facilities on site include bathrooms with toilets and showers, plus a washing machine. A short (500-metre) walk away through the back of the site is the local pub, which serves good home-cooked food and has a lovely riverside beer garden.

What customers say

Guests love the peaceful riverside setting, great views, and welcoming owners. Spacious, level pitches and a nearby pub are highlights. While clean, showers have low water pressure and dated fixtures. Management is addressing shower issues and upgrading the site.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Absolutely great camping. Lovely location and friendly owner. Facilities were as expected. Shower was more than adequate for a camping experience and although there was only 1 shower per gender, we never had to queue and we went over a weekend in August.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked We were a little apprehensive about staying at Dolswydd Caravan Park because it was one of the cheaper sites we looked at, but we couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised. It was fantastic! We had a lovely, spacious pitch, and the whole site was well kept and welcoming. The pub served delicious food, and the drinks were very reasonably priced too. There was only one shower, but it really wasn’t an issue—you just had to time it right. Overall, it’s a lovely site with great value for money, and we’d happily stay here again.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Everybody was so friendly and owners were lovely. The access to the pub garden was great and good selection of drinks. Has all the facilities you would need. Will definitely stay again

Disliked Showers could do with updating but definitely not a dealbreaker and wouldn’t put me off staying again.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for visiting, we are glad you had a nice time.
The showers were replaced three years ago. The panels may be a little older but are hard wearing and extreamly expensive to replace. This doesnt currently fit in with our sustainability goas and so they wont be replaced any time soon. New ones are not as hard wearing and the cost benefit is not justifyable.

Local attractions

On the outskirts of Rhayader, the Red Kite Feeding Station - Gigrin Farm (20 minutes’ drive) features several hides (including one 10 metres above the ground, for great aerial photography) from where you can gaze in awe at the spectacle of hundreds of red kites swooping on a feeding field to catch juicy meat morsels. Check out the lush displays of azaleas and maple trees at Hergest Croft Gardens (20 minutes), where you can also take a stroll through a colourful orchard and among giant rhododendrons. Afterwards, drive a little farther to the Small Breeds Farm Park (25 minutes), which is home to rabbits and guinea pigs, plus exotic birds like kookaburras. Hay-on-Wye (40 minutes) is renowned globally for its literary festival, which takes place in late spring. However, at any other time of year, you can still soak up the literary vibe by visiting the town’s many bookshops. If you happen to be in Hay on a Thursday, the weekly market is a top place to stock up on local produce.
