  • Eco-friendly pop-up site in the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • An easy 10-minute walk from Crickhowell; Raglan 25 minutes' drive
  • Lovely mountain views; access to canalside walks and bike rides
A Powys pop-up site where you can park the car and then spend your days exploring on foot? That’s the deal at Camp Crick, in the gorgeous Usk Valley 10 minutes’ stroll from the pretty and historic market town of Crickhowell. The views from here are fine indeed – the site looks out at the Sugar Loaf and Table Mountain, with Llangattock Mountain behind. The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal runs past the fields too, for easy access to miles of safe cycling and walking along the towpath. For more walking options there are plenty of trails that lead off up into the mountains (see if you can find the very rare floating bog below the escarpment on Llangattock Mountain…) The car’s unlikely to see much action at all around here, in fact – that proximity to town means that you can easily walk to Crickhowell’s independent shops, cafés and pubs (and in fact there are a couple of pubs offering great food even closer in the village of Llangattock). Naturally, the team here have an interest in preserving this pretty part of the world, so they’ve set the site up as an eco-friendly off-grid place to stay. Generously sized pitches are tucked away within the hedges and well spaced so you’ll have plenty of room to soak up the surrounds and look out for the wildlife (resident tawny owls and buzzards are often seen, along with a wide range of songbirds). Facilities include compost loos (with biodegradable loo roll provided), cold showers and washing-up stations using spring water (you’ll need to boil it before drinking). There’s no parking by pitches (in order to preserve the peace and the wild flowers), but trailers and wheelbarrows are provided to haul your kit.

Camp Crick: tranquil, eco-friendly spot near Crickhowell, with spacious, private pitches. Friendly staff, great value. Basic facilities (compost toilets, cold showers). Some mention of missing handwash stations. Overall, a lovely natural escape.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Friendly welcome was great and I found the site as close to wild camping as you can get in this type of setting. I thought it was really well laid out, creating secluded zones for each tent. I'll definitely be back.

Caz D.

Non-electric grass and earth campervan pitch

Liked The views are stunning, with both the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains in plain view. Just 15 mins walk into Crickhowell via footpaths and the very cute bridge over the River Usk. Camping ground is lovely, with plenty of space, fire pits, compostable toilet, accessible fresh water (drinking) water with 2 pubs in the village of Llangattock (offering food).
Hosts are super friendly and on hand for enquiries and needs.
Reasonably dark skies if you like stargazing, with plenty of nature to be found along the river path and the Brecon Canal towpath, all moments away.
Simply delightful!

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Almost everything!

1. Location. It is in a quiet location with beautiful views of the mountains and hills. From the site you can walk to…
- the canal(5 mins) which then takes you to the Llangatwg Lime Kilns (15 mins on canal path) and also the Tramway coffee shop (a further 5 mins on same path) for a lovely morning stroll.
- Llangattock (5 mins) which has a nice open play park and a pub.
- Crickhowell (15 mins) which is a lovely place full of pubs and shops! We also walked along the River Usk here and walked an 8km circular path up to Table Mountain.

2. Loads of things to do on foot! See notes above for things to do.

3. The themed toilets. Yes they are composting toilets and can get a bit smelly but they’re well maintained and I love that each has a ‘theme’! The showers were good too - and not as cold as expected!

4. Lovely owners! They were so helpful and friendly.

5. The pitches have their own fire pits and are surrounded by ferns so you have privacy. Good distance away from the next pitch too.

6. You can charge your phones for free and they have tap water too.

Disliked Nothing!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Love this campsite, loved the themed compost toilets, loved the pitches carved out amongst the fern, and a refreshing shower (not as cold as we expected) set us up for walking up Table Mountain in the morning. The views from the site are breathtaking
