  • Relaxed and rural dog-friendly site with plenty of space and seclusion
  • A 10-minute walk to Llangammarch Wells and its train station
  • Heart of Wales Line Trail and the Via Beata route within 10 minutes
Fancy opting for something a little more offbeat than usual for your next trip to Mid Wales? Enter the eclectic Irfon Valley Pods and Camping, part of a smallholding scattered with curios collected by the owner. Free-roaming chickens, geese and ducks are also to be seen in the adjacent field at this park a 10-minute walk from the centre of Llangammarch Wells. In fact, it’s all about the relaxed rural pursuits here with guests taking on activities including walking in the wildlife-rich surrounds, dining alfresco on the site’s picnic tables and cosying up around the large campfire with eyes turned skyward in search of the red kites that often fly overhead. As for travelling to this Powys park, those without a car will be chuffed to know they can ask the driver of the bus from Builth Wells (15 minutes’ drive) to drop them right at the front door. The entrance of the site is easy to spot – just look out for the couple of cutout giraffes peering over the fence. A railway station is half a mile away too and the village has access points to two long-distance footpaths: the 140-mile Heart of Wales Line Trail and the Via Beata route from Lowestoft in Suffolk to St Davids in Pembrokeshire. There's a smart loo block on site with three toilets, a shower and three washing-up sinks. There's also a communal room with games and a shared fridge, microwave and kettle. There's also an outdoor cold shower.

What customers say

Charming, family-friendly site with a peaceful vibe. Guests love the top-notch cleanliness, comfort, unique decor, and animal encounters. Hosts are super friendly & helpful. Well-kept facilities and nice extras. Minor quibbles: pubs are a drive, and geese can be noisy. Most plan to return!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked I liked the calm, quiet aesthetic of the campsite.
The field is well kept, facilities are clean and very good.
There are a few extras around the site that I enjoyed seeing, like Jerry's Museum, and the alpaca field.

The hosts themseles were a delight and were super friendly, and focused on delivering a great experience.

Powered cement/asphalt campervan campsite

Liked The artistic quirky decorations around the site made me chuckle along with the museum. It is a very peaceful site with the occasional noise from the onsite geese. Loved the prayer shed with a beautiful view.
Shower and toilet facilities clean ans spacious.

Disliked No chemical toilet disposal point.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review. We're pleased you enjoyed your stay.
Thank you too for your comments re chemical toilet disposal point.
We have been pondering, and have now come up with a solution.
There will be a disposal point ready for next year.

Great place if you just want to get away from it all.

Local attractions

Stunning views are to be had at every turn on short drives to spots like Llanwrtyd Wells (10 minutes), home of the laughter-inducing World Bog Snorkelling Championships and Man versus Horse Marathon. Builth Wells (15 minutes) is also known for hosting a famed event: Europe's largest agricultural show, the Royal Welsh Show. Not about in the summer while it’s on? Embark on an escapade to the Elan Valley (35 minutes) instead for dawdles among the dams and lakes that supply water to the Midlands. The Brecon Beacons National Park is around the same distance away for wanders in some of Wales’ prettiest landscapes; closer by (10 minutes) are forays to the forest of Crychan, which also hosts car rallies and horse riding events.
