The Wye Valley mist lifts to reveal the Black Mountains beyond, and here at Hay Outdoor Training you're pitched right on the edge of walking country that made the term "book town" famous.
This is a straightforward site for tents and campervans, aimed squarely at outdoors types passing through Hay-on-Wye or tackling the Brecon Beacons. The pitch types suggest a no-frills setup — ideal if you're here for the hills rather than the hook-ups. Dog owners should ask ahead to confirm arrangements, which is common practice at smaller training-focused venues where activity groups sometimes book the site.
Facilities aren't specified, so expect a back-to-basics experience — check what's available when you arrive, and do the same for campfires, which may be permitted depending on conditions and site rules. The vibe here leans practical rather than polished: a functional basecamp for walkers, climbers, and anyone drawn to the Marches borderlands where Wales meets England. Pack accordingly and you'll have everything you need.
Add a single landscape photo from your trip — pitch, view, sunset, anything but people. We’ll add it to the gallery after a quick moderation check.
