  • 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.

Nice, quiet campsite with great views and river access. Facilities are spotless, staff are super friendly. Good base for exploring, though Wi-Fi can be iffy.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked What a surprise and an absolute gem of a site!

We chose Hensent Park simply because it was roughly halfway home from the Welsh coast, giving us a convenient break in what would otherwise have been a 200-mile journey. It far exceeded our expectations.

The site is in a beautiful, peaceful valley, with a lovely stream running alongside it, and there’s a cracking short circular walk around the site — perfect for stretching your legs and taking in the surroundings.

The facilities were absolutely spotless, and the whole site had such a lovely, relaxed feel.

We thoroughly enjoyed our FIVE-star stay and would definitely return. A real hidden gem!

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Location was great, stunning views and lovely walk along a river to the pub. Showers were hot and free and the pitch had its own tap.

Disliked There was only one toilet with loo roll in the morning and this didn’t change till 11am. Only one sink for washing dishes so a long wait there too. No one works on site and while they answered when I rang to check in, the guy next to us struggled to get in touch. Have to pay extra for WiFi connection. Apparently under new ownership that week so maybe things will settle as residents in statics said it had always been an amazing site but had previously had live in wardens.

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.
