The morning mist lifts slowly off the water here, and you wake to the sound of birdsong echoing across the valley — this is Mid Wales at its quietest and most beautiful.
The Boat House welcomes tents, campervans, and caravans, making it a flexible spot for couples seeking a peaceful escape or small families who want to explore Powys without the crowds. You're in proper hill-walking country, where the landscape rolls between reservoirs, forests, and moorland, and the towns stay mercifully small. It's the kind of place where you remember why you camp — space, silence, and that particular quality of light you only get in mid-Wales.
Facilities are straightforward: toilets and showers onsite, everything you need without unnecessary extras. Ask about campfires when you arrive — policies can vary depending on conditions. Expect a low-key, natural setting where the focus is firmly on the landscape rather than entertainment, and where you'll likely spend your evenings watching the sky change colour over the water.
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.
