  • Family-run Mid Wales farm site and wildlife haven just off the A44
  • Llandrindod Wells 10 minutes' drive; 20 minutes to Knighton
  • Local pub with beer garden accessed from the back of the campsite
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 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 the Offa’s Dyke Path and Glyndŵr's Way, 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 launderette. A short (500-metre) walk away through the back of the campsite is the local pub, which serves good home-cooked food and has a lovely riverside beer garden.

What customers say

Guests rave about the scenic riverside spot, peaceful vibes, and welcoming owners. Clean facilities and the onsite pub with tasty food are big pluses. While most loved it, a few found showers limited/outdated with weak water pressure. Great value for money is a common theme.

Powered cement/asphalt campsite

Liked Nice quiet site, mostly seasonal pitches so wasnt busy (we tend to avoid busy places as we have excitable dogs).
Owners messaged to see if everything was ok and didn't bombard us at the pitch like some do.
As soon as booked, the owner emailed us a pitch number :)
Clean site, clean toilets / shower, clean elsan point :)

Disliked A little noisy overnight with cars going over the cattle grid on the main road... noisey workers during the day. Didn't bother us at all.

From the manager: Thank you. We hope you had a safe trip back.

Liked Very clean and tidy site. Toilet block modern and spacious. Lovely position by the river.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Racheal the owner was very welcoming we had a lovely chat after we pitched up. The site was a fantastic little gem good grass pitch sizes on level ground. It had everything we needed in the way of facilities and kept very clean and the views were amazing. Near by towns for shopping. Loved every minute.

Disliked Nothing, no dislikes to do with the site but next time we will look at the weather and bring appropriate clothing.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you, yes I did find they keys, in my pocket!
We are glad you had a good time despite the yucky weather.

Great value for money site.

Yasmin B.

Powered cement/asphalt campsite

Liked Great location next to the river and views of the surrounding hills. The Severn Arms hotel/ pub was accessible directly from a path at the end of the site and food there was very good. The hard standing pitch was a good size too. Most pitches were taken by seasonal caravans which were not in use so it was very quiet. Great facilities block, very clean and Well maintained. Would stay again if in the area as it was great value for money.

Disliked Only 1 shower which wasn’t a problem as it was quiet when we stayed but could be at busy times.
