The valley narrows here, all steep wooded slopes and the sound of the Aman flowing through, with that particular West Wales quiet that feels like stepping off the map.
This is a practical base for walkers tackling the Carmarthenshire uplands or anyone wanting a simple, no-fuss night under canvas in proper hill country. Tents, campervans and caravans are all welcome, and the Resource Centre backdrop means you've got proper facilities without the manicured campsite feel — toilets and showers onsite, which is all most people need after a day on the Black Mountain ridges or exploring the old mining trails that thread through these valleys.
It's low-key and unfussy, the kind of spot where you pitch up, light a fire if you've checked it's allowed that night, and let the hills do the talking. Not a destination site for families wanting playgrounds, but ideal if you prefer your camping straightforward and your scenery big.

8 routes found via OpenStreetMap
Follows woodland paths and open hillside with moderate inclines throughout. Suitable for older children with good stamina but not buggies due to uneven terrain and gates. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers peaceful countryside views across the Welsh borders and a decent cardio workout without being overly strenuous—ideal for building fitness or a brisk weekend leg-stretch.
Follows varied terrain with some moderate climbs through Welsh countryside, ideal for building stamina over distance. The route's length and 'endurance training' designation make it unsuitable for young children or buggies – expect uneven paths and potentially challenging sections. Dogs welcome to accompany fit walkers. Offers a proper workout with rewarding rural views, perfect if you're after something more demanding than a casual stroll.
Meanders through National Trust parkland combining medieval ruins, ancient deer herds, and woodland trails on mostly gentle, well-maintained paths with a few short climbs. Suitable for families with older children (8+) who can manage the distance, but uneven ground and stiles make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads around the deer. Highlights include Dinefwr Castle views, spotting white cattle, and riverside sections rich with wildlife year-round.
