Buzzards Rest CL Caravan Site

The buzzards really do circle overhead here — you'll hear their mewing call drifting down from the thermals above this tucked-away CL in the Welsh hills.

This is a proper old-fashioned Caravan and Motorhome Club certified location, taking tents, campervans and caravans in that classic five-pitch setup. It's quiet Wales, the kind of place that suits couples after proper peace, anyone walking with dogs through the valleys, or campers who just want to unhitch and breathe out for a few days. The facilities aren't listed in detail — it's a CL, so expect the basics rather than bells and whistles — but that's rather the point.

Worth checking about campfires when you arrive, as they're sometimes permitted depending on conditions. The vibe is low-key and unhurried, the sort of site where you measure the day by bird calls rather than Wi-Fi bars. If you're after stripped-back Welsh countryside camping without the crowds, this fits the bill nicely.
