Hay on Wye Caravan Park

The gentle rustle of the River Wye drifts across this unpretentious park on the edge of one of Britain's most beloved book towns. Morning mist often hovers over the water meadows, while the distant silhouette of the Black Mountains frames views to the south, promising hill walks and literary adventures in equal measure.

This year-round site suits bibliophiles and border country explorers seeking a straightforward base in Mid Wales. Hay-on-Wye's famous secondhand bookshops and annual literary festival lie moments away, while the broader Powys landscape unfolds in all directions—from the Brecon Beacons National Park to the quieter Radnor Hills. It's ideal for campers, caravanners, and motorhomers wanting easy access to the town without sacrificing a riverside setting.

Facilities cover the essentials with toilets and showers serving pitches for tents, campervans, and caravans. The atmosphere remains refreshingly low-key and functional rather than fancy—a place where the surrounding landscape and nearby town provide the entertainment. Check about campfire policies when you arrive, as these may vary depending on conditions and pitch location.
