General
- Family-friendly, dog-friendly site 15 minutes' drive from Builth Wells
- Elan Valley and Brecon Beacons within a half-hour drive
- On the banks of the River Irfon for fishing and wild swimming
There are many things that draw people to seek out riverside spots for their hols – you may fancy a bit of fishing, or perhaps you’ve got an eye on the scenic picnic potential, or maybe you secretly (or not so secretly) just yearn to get in for a wild swim…
Whichever of the above you’ve got in mind matters not, for they’re all covered at Powys site Riverside Caravan and Camping Park, in little Llangammarch Wells and 15 minutes’ drive from the ancient market town of Builth Wells. As the name intimates, this four-acre park is indeed on the riverside – the banks of the Irfon river, to be more specific. Fishing is allowed on site for those clutching the correct permit, and there’s direct access to the water for those who want to cool their feet with a tentative paddle or dive in for a full-on swim.
There’s plenty of space for open-air eats too, either a picnic or a cookout at the barbecue area; covered gazebos have also been set up just in case the weather isn’t amenable (and they’re also piled high with handy things like games of giant Jenga, footballs, hula hoops and an electricity supply for recharging your gadgets).
Time out in the open air might include watching over the kids at the playground, taking the dog for a walk along the riverbank (there’s a washing machine on site to deal with any muddy pawprints they leave you with) or ambling over to the local pub, 10 minutes’ stroll away.
Open from 04/01/2020 to 10/31/2020

BBQ facilities. Level pitches.
From the manager...
Thank you for taking the time to give us some feedback, alway useful, especially as it is our first season as owners. We are glad you found the bbq area useful and enjoyed the levelness of the site for easy pitching. We are aware that the shower block is perfectly functional but dated, we intend to address this in due course. We were not aware that any of our signs/general site rules would cause any offence, we will review and amend. |

Coming along the A483, take the turning for Llangammarch Wells. The best turnoff is either as you enter Garth from Beulah or leaving Garth from Builth Wells. Go down to the bottom of the road and turn right; the site is 100m along on the left, over the cattle grid.
Local attractions
This part of the world has many enticing options for folk who like a good walk or bike ride on their hols: as well as local riverside paths, you might also like to consider setting off for the Elan Valley (half an hour’s drive) to ramble by lakes and waterfalls, or aim south to the trails of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
For other outdoorsy days, there’s a fine golf course in Builth Wells (15 minutes) and the chance to see big birds take flight at the Red Kite Feeding Station in Rhyader (half an hour). The Brecon Mountain Railway (an hour) is a great choice for those who’d like to see the scenery at slow pace, and the Dolaucothi Roman gold mines likewise for folk intrigued by what lies beneath their feet.
There’s a lot going on throughout the year in this area too – time your trip cleverly to tie in with the Hay-on-Wye Book Festival (45 minutes), the parades of fine beasts at the Royal Welsh Show (20 minutes) or the famed World Bog Snorkelling Championships (10 minutes).
