  • Hosted eco-friendly site surrounded by spectacular Powys countryside
  • Eco buildings surrounded by a wildflower camping meadow
  • Straw-bale kitchen, wooden play area, toilets and showers
A rural retreat awaits at the peaceful Powys base of Sychpwll Centre, a walker's paradise in the Welsh countryside, two miles from the village of Llandrinio. The centre houses a range of eco-friendly buildings, surrounded by a wildflower camping meadow. As the site backs onto the River Vyrnwy, both it and the surrounding countryside are an excellent base for guests who want to have an environmentally-friendly stay among spectacular scenery. Guests are welcome to use the centre's straw-bale kitchen for indoor cooking; outdoors, both barbecues and campfires are allowed. Several country pubs with good food and drink are close by, and guests will be within 30 minutes' drive of the market towns of Shrewsbury, Welshpool and Oswestry. The site also has a toilet block with instant warm water and showers.

What customers say

Highly recommended eco-campsite. Praised for spacious spots, natural beauty, and peace. Guests love the clean, well-equipped kitchen and facilities, plus hot showers. Owners are friendly and welcoming, creating a relaxed vibe. River access and outdoor fun are big pluses. Mostly great, minor points about shower hooks or noise.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (wild)

Liked Wow! What a beautiful site. A gorgeous eco site. Happily met at the gate and shown around the site. Beautiful long grassed pitches, filled with a eco system if your children love mini beasts. The pitches - varying in size. Close to others, but a nice aspect of privacy you have your own little space. The owners on site are just wonderful and offer insight to each pitch being right for your trip, we wanted some space but close to the on site playground.

I knew there was river on site. But WHAT A SURPRISE- the hosts have built a beautiful walk down where you can step in and enjoy the water with family (I travelled with a 3,5 and 13yr old and it’s very easy to navigate, with little fish to spy and tadpoles - this was by far one of our highlights!)
There is a well equipped kitchen on site. Oven, fridge freezer etc.
They have bathrooms and showers on site. Beautifully clean and very cool - not to mention an outdoor hot water shower for after a dip in the lake.

We’ve just pencilled in 2 more trips before the summer holidays are out. Kids loved it and will return for a girls trip away - 10 out of 10 across the board- what an excellent site and CANNOT wait to return

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (wild)

Liked What a lovely campsite! Great value for money; eco-friendly; clean, well stocked facilities (lovely hot showers!); fully equipped communal kitchen with shared fridge freezer & charging points for gadgets. Beautiful, peaceful location. Various pubs/shops available within a 15min drive. A warm welcome on arrival. A wide time slot for arrival. This was really helpful as I finished my walk a bit earlier than planned, so was nice to be able to come & get settled in before going off to explore the local area. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Disliked Signs asking visitors to limit showers to 3mins so as to conserve water. A good ethos, but maybe increase this to 5mins?!

Local attractions

Based a mile from where the unpolluted River Vrynwy meets the River Severn, Sychpwll is cosy in winter and normally with a good climate in summer. There’s more than enough to do to keep everyone happy all year round, with those coming for walking or cycling holidays particularly having lots of choice. The hiking in this area gives world-class views, such as the famous Offa’s Dyke Path or one of the three routes to the landmark Rodney’s Pillar. Visitors can also visit local farmers’ markets or nearby Lake Vrynwy, or try their hand at one of the many activities nearby, including climbing, fishing, horse riding and watersports. Or, for those who like to hit a ball as hard as possible, tennis is available in town and there’s a golf course within half an hour’s drive. The market towns of Shrewsbury, Welshpool and Oswestry are around seven miles miles away for shopping, and there are plenty of days out at local attractions such as historic Powys Castle and the Welshpool to Llanfair Light Steam Railway. Culture vultures can go slightly further afield to Ludlow and Shrewsbury (around 13 miles away), for festivals, arts events and nights on the town.
