  • Family-friendly site on the banks of the Banwy river in Mid Wales
  • A five-minute drive to a steam railway; 10 minutes to Welshpool
  • River fishing permitted; play area on site; 500 metres from a pub
Whether you're planning days of outdoor pursuits or scenic steam railway rides, your holiday in Mid Wales should be off to a flying start at Henllan Caravan Park… This family-friendly site first opened in the 1960s, and it has grown into a very gorgeous spot to set down on the banks of the Banwy river, with fishing available in the river and a play area set up for those guests who have brought the whole family along. Another highlight is that there's a pub just 500 metres from the pitching field; call in to see what food and entertainment they have planned (it varies throughout the season). There’s a golf course 10 minutes’ drive away for any keen golfers and the surrounding Powys landscape has many opportunities for things like mountain biking, swimming, climbing and hiking for all the adventurous types. Shops and that sort of thing can be tracked down in Welshpool, 10 minutes’ drive away. This historic town has some gorgeous Georgian buildings and the Montgomery Canal for a peaceful stroll or you could look in on the National Trust’s Powis Castle and Garden (20 minutes) while you’re around there. For more nostalgic activities, the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway is five minutes’ drive from the site. Back at your riverside site, there’s a shower block ready for you to freshen up. The pitches themselves are all well-maintained and flat with great views, so your stay should be both comfortable and scenic. Please note that the facilities block is approximately 300 yards from the main pitching area.

What customers say

This well-kept, peaceful campsite has a lovely riverside spot and friendly staff. Guests loved the level sites, open feel, and secure dog area. The onsite pub and playground were hits, but the distance to, and limited number of, restrooms were often mentioned as downsides, especially for families.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Amazing spot! And great people running the site :)
Me my wife and 2 kids and dog stayed in a trailer tent and has a blast!
Has everything you need for a great stay,
A park on site right where your staying,
Has a small shack for essentials if needed along with sweet treats/ice creams for the kids, but also there is a tesco withing a 15min drive if you needed it.
Great pitches with walks right next to the site with a rope swing along the river.
Shower block and toilets which are tidy, they are a slight walk from the site but its nothing that bothered us personally.
Will definitely be going back cant wait 👍

Powered grass campsite

Liked Location is so quiet and serene - loved how accommodating Andy and Jo were, loved the fact they walked the park daily if not twice a day to check that everyone was ok, and for a natter if you were out and about.

Disliked The blooming pheasant every morning at 4am waking me up by acting like a pteradactyl -
no on a serious note we disliked nothing at all
- the noises from the wildlife is beautiful!

Toilet block does need to be closer to the camp field but I am aware that there are plans in place for this in coming months.

Enjoyed staying on this site, well kept. Will be back

Liked We had an ok time, Storm Dave didn’t help however the people who manage the site was very friendly and lovely so thank you.

Disliked The toilet facilities are too far from the tent area, I had read this review previously and thought it’ll be fine but it was a trek especially for night time.

Local attractions

With Eryri/Snowdonia National Park to the west and the Shropshire Hills National Landscape to the south-east, there’s a lot of hiking accessible from this site. You could set your compass towards Lake Vyrnwy (35 minutes' drive), just outside of Snowdonia, for a day of lakeside walks, watersports and cycling followed by a cream tea – or perhaps head up towards Pistyll Rhaeadr (45 minutes) for a four-mile hike with a reward in the form of a spectacular waterfall. Add some historical elements to your holiday in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape. The Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle (35 minutes) still stands from the Bronze Age and the moorlands of the surrounding Stapeley Hill make for another splendid walk. Then there are the Stiperstones (45 minutes), a cool ridge that's made up of rocks that are hundreds of millions of years old – another place for a good long wander. When you’re ready to muck into the rural way of life, head to Park Hall The Countryside Experience (40 minutes), a farm with play areas that has opened its doors for families to get involved in animal activities like meeting the alpacas or watching the pig racing.
