The River Ithon slips past just beyond the boundary, a constant murmur beneath the Powys hills, and on cool mornings woodsmoke drifts between the canvas if fires are running.

This is a relaxed spot for tenters, campervans and caravans who want a quieter slice of Mid Wales without giving up hot showers and proper loos. Families who like a bit of space, couples after a walking base in the Cambrian foothills, or anyone drawn to the tipi option for something a bit different — it's that sort of place. The region's all about the Elan Valley reservoirs, market towns like Llandrindod Wells, and miles of empty ridgeline if you're into Glyndŵr's Way or the Cambrians.

Facilities cover the basics — toilets and showers onsite — and campfires are sorted on a check-when-you-arrive basis, so ask when you book if a fire circle matters. The vibe skews toward the low-key: no glitz, no noise rules you didn't already know, just good ground and the kind of quiet that makes you remember why you packed the tent in the first place.
