Spectacularly scenic riverside park in the Tanat Valley
Hikes directly from the site and Lake Bala 13 miles away
Two dog-friendly pubs within walking distance

Cor. Have a look at this site’s setting: parked alongside the Tanat river and surrounded by peaks in the spectacularly scenic Tanat Valley in mid Wales’ Berwyn Mountains, it’s right near the pretty village of Llangynog, where the Tanat and Eirth rivers meet. And there’s more: right on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, Henstent Park’s surrounds are not only scenic but they're also handily set for jaunts to the market towns of Welshpool and Oswestry, plus the Vyrnwy and Bala lakes. The smashing views are 360 here – at every turn you’ll see grass, trees and mountains – and as the site’s bordered by a river, there’s the option to have a go at fishing nearby. This is a smashing site for walkers too: several hiking trails lead directly from the site and it’s a three-hour trek (or a 20-minute drive) up to Wales’ highest waterfall, Pistyll Rhaeadr. A gated dog walk runs alongside the riverbank (and one dog-friendly pub is within easy walking distance). The bathroom block – with free hot showers – has been hailed by previous guests as immaculate and spotless.

What customers say

Beautiful, tranquil campsite with stunning views and a river. Guests rave about the spotless facilities, super-friendly staff, and well-kept pitches, many by the water. Great for dog lovers with excellent walks nearby. Local pub a short stroll. Minor WiFi/dishwashing niggles aside, most want to return!

Electric hardstanding campervan pitch (small)

Liked A fantastic, well kept site in a beautiful part of the upper Tanat Valley. The backdrop of Craig Rhiwarth is spectacular, with the gentle sound of the river audible from our pitch. Nice access to the village pub via the riverside footpath. Lovely clean and heated shower and washup facilities. We only stayed one night and we are from the valley originally, so it was ideal for a visit. The site team met us on arrival and were really friendly and helpful. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for awarding us a 10/10 overall! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful setting and the spectacular backdrop of Craig Rhiwarth – it really is a special part of the Tanat Valley.

It’s great to know you appreciated the riverside atmosphere, the footpath access to the village pub, and our shower and wash-up facilities. Our team will also be very pleased to hear your kind comments about the welcome you received on arrival.

We’re especially glad the site worked well for your visit back to the valley, even if it was just for one night. Hopefully next time you’ll be able to stay a little longer and enjoy more of the area.

Thank you again for your lovely feedback – we hope to welcome you back again soon!

Liked Friendly reception from the owners. Immaculate facilities and knowing that I had a muddy day in the hills after I checked out, they even offered their showers when I was finished!

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review.

We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the friendly welcome. It’s great to know the facilities met your expectations and that everything was nice and clean during your visit.

We’re also glad we could help after your day out in the hills — sometimes a hot shower after a muddy walk makes all the difference!

Thanks again for staying with us and for sharing your photo. We hope to welcome you back to Henstent Park again in the future.

Perfect night sleep very happy.

Local attractions

Several walks lead directly from the site, and you can lace up your boots, pack up a picnic and hike the eight miles up to Wales’ highest waterfall, Pistyll Rhaeadr if you’re feeling particularly energised. Other outdoorsy pursuits within easy reach include horse riding, fishing and cycling… And as the site is right near Llangynog village, you’re also well placed for challenging and spectacularly scenic bike rides around the Milltir Cerrig mountain pass along the B4391, which runs between Llan Ffestiniog and Llanfyllin. If you fancy checking out the area’s lakes, the route over the mountain to Bala – 90 minutes’ bike ride or 25 minutes by car – is a highly scenic one, and at the end you’ll be greeted by lots of watery sports such as canoeing, windsurfing and whitewater rafting, or climbing, hiking, cycling, abseiling, archery and campcraft if you’d prefer to stay dry. Lake Vwrnwy is an easy half hour away.
