  • 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 and mountain walks nearby; play area on site
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. 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, pubs 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.

Liked: Lovely clean well looked after site. Nice separate dog walking field - there's a water station for the dogs which is a nice touch.
Generous pitch size.

Disliked: Bit of a trek to the shower block from the pitches - not too troublesome for us as we have our own facilities - bit should imagine if you're camping could be a problem

Powered grass campsite

Liked: This was our first time camping, so had no expectations. But found the site to be very clean pitches and thoughtout the whole site, spacious we had plenty of room and the staff/owners are very friendly and helpful. The pitch was level and we had no issues at all with the ground, electricity or water supplies. The park/ play area was a winner with the children, and the dog area a great touch! Lovely peaceful and quiet area.

Disliked: The distance to the toilets and shower facilities. We’d definitely not factored in how far away they would be and thankfully brought camping toilets. I didn’t understand why they are away with the statics which would have them facilities already.

Also on the way in, if using a sat nav check your coming in off the main road that back road is dreadful lol.

Liked: Views, surroundings, nearby gentle river, birdsong, staff, dog friendly (separate runaround/off lead area).

Disliked: More observation than dislike. Shower etc block bit of a trek from camping field and limited number of showers & sinks (1 of each). No problem for us though as visited midweek in late April outside of school holidays.

Liked: Fabulous well kept site, lovely wardens, very helpful, will definitely return.

Disliked: Could do with more toilets and showers, we were ok in the caravan but if more than a couple of tents are there it would be a pain.

graham m. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Plenty of open space, large grassy areas surrounded by trees.
The dog park was good to allow ours off lead exercise.
The park itself is very clean and very well maintained.

Disliked: The toilet block and shower (single) is located in amongst the static caravans.
It’s a five minute walk from the grass touring pitches, more if you’ve mobility issues.
The kitchen is also there, meaning you have to carry your dishes to and from it.

Local attractions

With Eryri/Snowdonia National Park to the west and the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty 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 AONB. 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.
