Sunny, level premier pitches at rockbridge park
Our sky viewing dome, to look at the night skies. with the rolling welsh hills behind.

  • Peaceful escape in a dark skies community on the Welsh border
  • Riverside setting a mile from the market town of Presteigne
  • Dog-friendly site; stargazing dome with telescope
Sitting alongside the River Lugg and with views of the hills, Rockbridge Park is a super spot for a relaxing break away from busy everyday life. This small family-run site on the Wales-England border is within easy reach of days out around the countryside, plus the villages and towns of Powys and beyond. 
 When not roaming the region, spend time lying back on site with your nose in a book, fishing in the river or setting off on strolls nearby. Even a wander around the site has its rewards – look out for the dragonfly and wind sculptures, then relax by the waterfall while you take in the views. Four-legged friends are welcome to join you here too – they’ll be able to scamper around at the secure dog walk or accompany you on one of the many trails running from the park. And don’t worry about them getting into muddy puddles – a dog wash back on site will take care of that. Facilities for human guests are nicely thought out too, with wifi, hot showers, a launderette and a fridge among the provisions. The highlight, however, surely has to be the stargazing dome – kitted out with a telescope and bean bags, it’s a great spot to take advantage of Rockbridge being in a ‘dark skies community’. Heading out, it’s a five-minute drive to Presteigne, a traditional Welsh market town with a good selection of pubs, restaurants, takeaways, cafés and shops (most of them dog-friendly). For other places to visit nearby, chat to the team on site – they’ve always got lots of top tips to dish out.

Electric grass pitch (riverside)

Liked The site is lovely and maintained well. The toilets and shower block was very clean. Great location with pathways to explore into the town. The star dome was very impressive.

Disliked Could do with a bistro or bar for snacks and goodies.

From the manager: Thank you for the lovely review and the great photos we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. We are very lucky to have the star gazing dome and the dark skies here.

We would love to have a bar or bistro on site but we like to support the local town and not loose what we have there. We are looking at other options though so watch this space.

We hope to be welcoming back to Rockbridge Park in the future.

Katy R.

Electric grass pitch (riverside)

Liked Lovely peaceful site which was well maintained. Perfectly flat grass pitch which was ideal for our tent box. The welcome pack was thoughtful and we used it to walk to the local town.

Disliked The star gazing dome was a wonderful idea, however we took the kids up at 11pm - it was a beautifully clear night but we couldn’t get the telescope to work. Two other families joined us and had the same issue so we left here disappointed. There is a laminated sheet with the telescope which shows the labelled dials - not sure if it’s faulty or needs better instructions.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the lovely review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us here at Rockbridge.

We have removed the telescope from the dome at the moment, it is available to borrow but we are then able to talk people through how to use the telescope. When you find the moon it is phenomenal.

We hope to welcome back to Rockbridge Park in the future.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch (premium)

Liked Beautiful site lovely welcome from the young lady and gent at reception, great touch giving out tennis balls to dogs on arrival they loved playing with them in the designated off leash area. Quiet and peaceful just what we needed to recharge our batteries. Had a lovely stream running through the site where the dogs had a dip after going on long walks. Our pitch was a great size good space between other pitches. Would highly recommend walks “ water break it’s neck” and “ Llandrindod wells” the scenery was spectacular.

Kathryn W.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Great site with good sized pitches.
There was stunning scenery all round, site was lovely and peaceful despite being a busy bank holiday weekend. Only noise regularly heard was the cows!
Everywhere was lovely and clean at all times.

Check in was quick and the team had lots of information to share. They gave us a welcome packed filled with things to do, see and information/history on the local area, lovely touches.

Would definitely recommend!

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Pitch space. Care of land. Wash rooms clean at all times. Organisation of recycling. Helpful and friendly staff.
Most guests were clean, tidy & respectful regarding noise in the evening.

Disliked One visitor with 2 small dogs frequently had dog off lead & it ended up in other people’s tents etc. Not all people are comfortable with dogs of any size.
People flashing lights outside of statics or caravan / tent.

Emma M.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked We had a very large level pitch next to the river. The staff were friendly and helpful. Showers and loos were clean as was the washing up area and the elsan point. The recycling/waste area was the cleanest i have ever seen and had hand sanitiser which is a bonus. On the clear nights the stars were amazing but we did not get to use the telescope as it was very busy. Lovely views of the countryside.
Cannot fault the site at all.

Disliked Just a personal point, you need to drive to get anywhere which meant we had to pack the van up to go out.
There are 2 walks into the village but with a large old dog were not very accessible due to styles on one and no path on the B road on the other

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your great review we are glad you enjoyed your stay with.

We are just on the outside the town of Presteigne so the is a walk across the fields to get into town.

Local attractions

Presteigne is a compact spot but it’s well worth swinging by for a look at The Judge's Lodging, an award-winning museum five minutes’ drive away that gives an insight into the grandeur of the masters’ lives on the top floors versus the servants who lived down below. Not so much further on is Knighton (10 minutes) with its community and arts centres for rainy days, along with a local railway link and access to Glyndŵr's Way for wanders along a path named after a Welsh legend. Another 10 minutes (20 from the park) from there is the Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre for a glimpse of animals ranging from miniature horses to nocturnal birds. Top towns are scattered around this rural region too: think Leominster (30 minutes away) for sights like grand Berrington Hall (40 minutes) with its views over to the Black Mountains; the famed book and festival town of Hay-on-Wye (35 minutes); or Ludlow to see the castle and Tudor buildings or peruse posh boutiques (40 minutes).
