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.

Power optional cement/asphalt campsite

Liked Liked the look of the site online and paid £20 online for one night.£

Disliked Unfortunately this site doesn’t live up to anywhere near to its online presentation. Most of the gravel pitches within 5 yards of a very noisy busy main road. There was no escape from the road noise anywhere on this site. The pitch fee was £20 for the night they wanted an extra £10 for ehu, no thanks. One ramshackle shower and one toilet which in all of our years of motorhome travelling around Europe and the UK rates as the worst we have come across. Badly in need of serious upgrade.

From the manager: sorry you were disappointed we have only been here since April and do intend to up grade the site but there is 3 toilets on site not just one

Over night stop ,friendly welcoming,…

Liked Convenience of the on site food and drinks in the pub
Very close to town and shops
Good size pitch

Disliked Unfortunately was let down by the on-site facilities. Not very clean,smelly.

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.

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 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.

Local attractions

What horizons to set your sights on first? Well, for those of you who have historical sites high up on your holiday to-do list, there are a few places to get started and Powis Castle (10 minutes' drive) is one of the closest out of the lot. This huge Welsh castle has some splendid garden terraces and walks in the grounds are a real treat… For less walking and more chugging about, steam train trips go from the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway Preservation Company (10 minutes). To continue with your historic streak, The Wharf Powysland Museum (10 minutes) spills the beans on Montgomeryshire’s local history, while for ruins, Montgomery Castle (15 minutes) and the Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle (20 minutes) are some of your options. Of course, activities-wise, walking is particularly fine around this area, especially in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (20 minutes) and Snowdonia National Park (40 minutes) but the kids in your group could cheer on the pig races or meet the alpacas at Park Hall’s adventure farm (25 minutes). Meanwhile, the adults might prefer to go for a laidback game of golf at the Brookland Hall Golf Club (10 minutes).
