Spectacular surroundings (added by manager 14 Sep 2022)

Spectacularly scenic riverside park in the Tanat Valley
Hikes directly from the site and Lake Bala 13 miles away
Two dog-friendly pubs within walking distance

Cor. Have a look at this site’s setting: parked alongside the Tanat river and surrounded by peaks in the spectacularly scenic Tanat Valley in mid Wales’ Berwyn Mountains, it’s right near the pretty village of Llangynog, where the Tanat and Eirth rivers meet. And there’s more: right on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, Henstent Park’s surrounds are not only scenic but they're also handily set for jaunts to the market towns of Welshpool and Oswestry, plus the Vyrnwy and Bala lakes. The smashing views are 360 here – at every turn you’ll see grass, trees and mountains – and as the site’s bordered by a river, there’s the option to have a go at fishing nearby. This is a smashing site for walkers too: several hiking trails lead directly from the site and it’s a three-hour trek (or a 20-minute drive) up to Wales’ highest waterfall, Pistyll Rhaeadr. A gated dog walk runs alongside the riverbank (and one dog-friendly pub is within easy walking distance). The bathroom block – with free hot showers – has been hailed by previous guests as immaculate and spotless.

Powered grass campervan campsite (small)

Liked: Nice flat pitch with space at the side right next to the river. There's enough space between pitches. A couple of cyclists were one side of me and a massive airstream the other! The showers are clean and have plenty of pressure. There are hikes straight from the site and the lady owner was so kind and helpful giving me suggestions of where to hike. I was up there as I was racing at the Lake Vyrnwy half marathon and the location is perfect that. Would definitely stay again.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Lovely quiet site. Clean showers and toilets. Views are amazing.

Disliked: Most if not all the touring caravans on the site were seasonal with only one or two occupied. This makes it difficult for other tourers to be able to stay there.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: The Site was excellent with Panoramic views all round with mountains and hills. The toilets and showers being unisex but was kept extremely clean at all times. The dog exercise area and walks was really good. Easy access to the site and was very well maintained. The only drawback I can mention was the grass pitches for touring caravans of which there were only a hand full were on a reclining slope which could cause issues if there was a lot of rainfall.

Disliked: None to mention

Liked: Beautifully clean and tidy grounds and toilets and showers block. Nice hot showers, amenities, washer, dryer, toaster, fridge etc. The tent camping is by the river and the sound of the running water just sent me to sleep! Very quiet and walking distance to a village that has a pub. Very well run and looked after, I had a peaceful and relaxing stay.

Liked: The site was beautiful. Well maintained and the owners were very friendly and helpful. There attention to detail was perfect. There was a room where you can access a washer and dryer as well as books games and DVDs to lend. There were also maps available to explore the local area. The river runs around the site so it was great for the children to splash in as well as the dogs. The views were stunning too.

Powered grass tent campsite (no pets)

Liked: Having a space for the tents right by the river made for a really peaceful getaway! The campsite is a nice size so all of the amenities are in close distance, and while there isnt a shop close by you can walk about 10 mins down the river so a small little pub that offered drinks and food. The owner was incredibly easy going letting me pitch my tent wherever I felt best and letting me know where I could find all the things I would need.

Disliked: The only downside is not having any mobile connection and the Wi-fi being spotty but this doesn't feel like the Campsites fault with it being in a valley etc. So the "dislike" here is more of a heads up to anyone that may be travelling solo, as I didn't travel with my partner this time and struggled to keep in touch with her while I was away

Local attractions

Several walks lead directly from the site, and you can lace up your boots, pack up a picnic and hike the eight miles up to Wales’ highest waterfall, Pistyll Rhaeadr if you’re feeling particularly energised. Other outdoorsy pursuits within easy reach include horse riding, fishing and cycling… And as the site is right near Llangynog village, you’re also well placed for challenging and spectacularly scenic bike rides around the Milltir Cerrig mountain pass along the B4391, which runs between Llan Ffestiniog and Llanfyllin. If you fancy checking out the area’s lakes, the route over the mountain to Bala – 90 minutes’ bike ride or 25 minutes by car – is a highly scenic one, and at the end you’ll be greeted by lots of watery sports such as canoeing, windsurfing and whitewater rafting, or climbing, hiking, cycling, abseiling, archery and campcraft if you’d prefer to stay dry. Lake Vwrnwy is an easy half hour away.
