What customers say
A welcoming small site by a pub with great food. Owners are accommodating. Pitches are mostly level, facilities basic but clean. Good for Mid Wales exploration, nice views. Road/train noise & early pub closing noted by some.

Conveniently situated and small. Though traffic noise was too much.
Power optional cement/asphalt campsite
Liked Friendly owners and nice little campsite which was clean and had level pitches. Very conveniently situated just off the main road and Welshpool roundabout. 1 shower and 1 toilet. A little park in the pubs beer garden for kids.
Disliked I’m sorry to say that the traffic noise was too loud for us. Though this may not affect some people. We had to take our own toilet roll as theirs kept running out. And I couldn’t find any bins on site. I think the shower water pipe was also linked up to the toilet flush, as the shower would go cold when somebody would use the toilet or wash their hands. Sorry.

We have tried to email them direct but it bounces back.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Easy to find
Disliked Hi, sadly we left soon after we arrived as we were so close in our tents to a busy road, & rail crossing, then a train went past very near, which we agreed would be a difficult nights rest especially as we had dogs with us: we couldn’t move as a small site.

Power optional cement/asphalt campsite
Liked Friendly staff and lovely meal. Very dog friendly. Nice pub garden .
Disliked Quite a lot of noise from the road. Felt the toilets and showers could do with some improvement.

A gem of a little site, very friendly family that runs it. Recommend.
Power optional cement/asphalt campsite
Liked Beautiful little site with all level pitches , attached to a pub with a lovely outdoor seating area. Very friendly and welcoming family that run it. Very handy just outside the town of Welshpool but far enough out to have a real calm and countryside feel.
Will definitely return and would highly recommend.
Disliked Not a criticism, but maybe think about placing a mirror on the opposite side of the road by the entrance/exit as this would make pulling out on to the road easier.

Site has so much potential but needs a little bit of tlc
Power optional cement/asphalt campsite
Liked Level pitches
Great pint of Butty
Close to the town of Welshpool, bus stop outside a 10 minute journey into the town and a great pub OWL & Pussycat
Close to Offas Dyke walking trail
Pub garden has good facilities for children to use
Disliked Shower block very basic to the point we didn’t use it
Toilet block again requires some tlc
Not a problem for us but very close to main road, and main train line does run past the site, but you do get used to it and can’t beat a good bit of train spotting
Food was ok
No WiFi but 4G signal was strong
