Llandovery Caravan and Camping Park

The River Towy murmurs past the boundary hedge, and on clear mornings the Brecon Beacons fill the eastern skyline like a promise.

This year-round site in the market town of Llandovery suits anyone using Carmarthenshire as a base for the Black Mountain walks or simply wanting a functional pitch in proper Welsh hill country. Tent pitchers, caravanners and campervans are all welcome, and the town's shops, pubs and the ruins of its Norman castle are all an easy stroll. You're right on the doorstep of some of Wales's finest walking territory, with the Cambrian Mountains rolling west and the national park paths heading east into big-sky upland country.

Facilities are straightforward — clean toilets and showers onsite. The campfire policy varies, so worth checking when you arrive if you've packed kindling. It's a practical, no-frills sort of place that does exactly what it says: a decent night's sleep in a proper Welsh valley, with the fells waiting just beyond the fence.
