FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Immaculate small site, toilet and shower facilities spotless, fully serviced pitches incl tv coax on each plot. Local pub 5 mins walk, ok for drinks. Lovely country pubs, Bull and Heifer & Nags head a short 15 mins drive. Main road traffic noise not an issue for us. Highly recommend

Anonymous FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Flat concreted hard standing so no sharp stones, water at the pitch, waste also but I didn’t use this, small but clean toilet block. Walks from site, along the disused Montgomery Canal now a wildlife haven and very pretty, challenging walk up to Dolforwyn Castle ruins (free) and amazing views, access on site to a small area of the river Severn good for a paddle. Abermule Inn Pub 5 min walk also cafe. Free WiFi.
Disliked Road noise is quite loud. I was in a pop top van and I could hear it all night but if you were in a motorhome or caravan I suspect this would be less. No shop in village but big Morrisons and Aldi 4 miles away in Newtown. Lack of information on walking trails, circular walks, I am touring with a dog so walks are important to us. Very fast road adjacent near the site no foot path.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, glad you found the walk up to Dolforwyn Castle, it's worth the climb!

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review.
The new Stores and Coffee House opened today (20th July) in the village and is gorgeous!
Spotless with flat pitches and great amenities.
FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The flat fully serviced pitches were close to amenities and I loved the small touches like the curtains around the sink and plenty of hooks. It was quiet but it might be livelier now that the school holidays have started.
The mop for campers to use kept everything clean too. Everything was spotless and neat. Booking in and finding the pitch was easy as there was some information to help you get around the site. The information had tips on where to eat etc too. I’ll definitely be back.
Disliked Nothing.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Extremely well presented and run park with very clean facilities. Right next to the river Severn if you fancy cooling off, and 5mins walk from the Abermule Inn which does excellent food. Loads of walks nearby. We used the canal towpath to cycle into Newtown traffic free, although some parts need cutting back as they are narrow. Don't be put off by the sound of traffic from the A483, it does not intrude enough to spoil your stay. If you are a light sleeper the few vehicles at night are easily filtered out by earplugs. There is also a nice play area for the children away from the pitches, so you won't have stray balls whacking your van. Guests and staff alike are very friendly here. Phone signal on EE is strong enough to stream. Didn't try park wifi. Tv signal not great,and although the pitches have their own antenna cable, we couldn't get ours to work. Majority of pitches have an open view of the southern sky for satellite users.
Disliked There wasn't anything that would prevent us returning.
