The morning mist lifts slowly off the valley, and you understand why they called it River View.

This year-round Welsh site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans, making it a practical base for families touring the valleys or couples chasing waterfalls and hill walks. The pitch types suggest a traditional touring park setup rather than a wild camping vibe, and the year-round opening means you can visit when Wales shows its moody autumn colours or those rare blue-sky February days when the hills look impossibly sharp against the cold.

Facilities aren't detailed in the listings, so it's worth ringing ahead to check what's onsite — hook-ups, shower blocks, that sort of thing. Campfires are a check-on-arrival situation, which usually means they're possible in designated spots or fire pits depending on conditions and time of year. Expect a straightforward, no-frills Welsh welcome where the landscape does the talking and you're left to get on with your trip without too much fuss.
