Camping
CAMPING
Nearly wild camping set in the rolling Welsh countryside with unspoilt views and plenty of open space. The three acre camping field on our growing smallholding provides the perfect place to catch up with yourself, friends or family.
Pitch numbers are limited to ensure you can enjoy the space and allow us to offer a back-to-nature experience with birdsong in the morning and star-gazing at night. We also have a few seasonal extras available on request to make your stay even more special.
We have fantastic walking, tourist attractions and Lake Vrynwy on our doorstep with Snowdonia National Park and the Welsh coast less than an hour away making us ideally situated for you to make the most of what mid-Wales has to offer; or you could just sit back and take in the views.

Local Area
Here are a few of our favourite local things to do - some of which you can do without even getting in the car. If you want more ideas when you are here, we are more than happy to share what we have discovered or you can just explore for yourself!
Lake Vrynwy
At the centre of the largest organic farm in Wales and England, the Lake Vrynwy reservoir is a Victorian feat of engineering which feeds water to Liverpool to today.

Powis Castle & Garden

The spectacular estate comprises a variety of garden attractions, such as a five acre lake, a cascading Water Garden, lakeside and woodland walks, the more formal Walled Garden, the charming Folly Garden and the secluded Bird Hide, set where the River Severn meets the River Rhiew.
