Our ancient woodland is 15 acres with streams and a lake. There are fields of grazing sheep all around. We have just two camps. It is our first season and we will be very happy to hear your on the spot feedback. Help us develop a really good camping experience. The two camps are at opposite ends of the woodland and are set up with two Tentsile tree tents each. It is quiet, peaceful and lovely, great for birdwatching. The Bannau Brycheiniog, (the Brecon Beacons) are a stone's throw away, you can see them from our property. The A40 and Llandovery train station are just minutes away.

England · 29 units · Tents, Motorhomes, Glamping

Our beautiful home is a glamping and camping site with its own gorgeous fishing lake on the outskirts of the village of Llandyfan. You can find us to the west of the Brecon Beacons or Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. Llandyfan Campsite has been lovingly re-established in early 2024 by Andy and Jo. Since taking ownership, we have rolled up our sleeves and got stuck into restoring it to its former glory and will soon be back to being a fully operational slice of Welsh heaven. Our first focus has been the fishing lake which we opened in March. The campsite followed in May. We are currently working on electric hook ups and other improvements. We have chickens on site that roam free during the day. They are friendly and like to wander around the tents to say hello to our guests! We would like everyone who visits to have a great time and a relaxing break. Whilst here please be considerate towards others, to their property, and while using the facilities. If you have any concerns, please let us know. We have brought out a few rules from our T&Cs and we kindly ask that you have a read through before your stay. Litter: You must pick up your litter. Please either take it with you or recycle it appropriately in the bins onsite. There are bins around the campsite, please recycle where possible. Pitches to be left as you found them. Noise: Be respectful and consider your neighbours. Keep noise to a minimum after 10pm and before 8am in the morning. No loud music is to be played at any time. Children: Children must be supervised at all times around the campsite and can play within the pitch space allocated to you. At quiet times, it may be possible for children to use vacant pitches for play but this cannot be guaranteed. The amenity block and associated facilities are not to be used as a play area. Dogs: Must not to be left unattended. Are to be kept on leads at all times whilst on the campsite. (We are working on an enclosed dog walking area, however this is not yet available). no refunds on bookings if cancelled withing 10days of booking

L Ampeter · 10 units · Tents, Motorhomes

We are a small, peaceful. secluded campsite bordered by woodland and a stream, set amidst the wildlife country of the Ceredigion countryside on the edge of the Cambrian mountains. With only 20 camping pitches (7 with hard standing) and 'The Bothy' shepherd's hut, Teifi Meadows is a place to relax, unwind and appreciate the calming beauty of nature. This is a dark sky zone with stunning celestial views on clear nights, and near-zero light pollution as well as pristine air and water quality. Our guests tend to appreciate the quiet stillness here and we don't have a lot of disturbances...so all you will hear is the wind, the birds, the rushing streams and perhaps the odd cow! :) Everyone, even the cynical, should have a little romance in their lives. Especially if it includes a scenic setting with easy access to local pubs (a holiday extra that thaws the icy hearts of the cynical even more than blazing sunsets). Teifi Meadows should warm the battery of your camera as well as the cockles of your heart: this is wildlife country – look out for red kites overhead – in the midst of the greenery of the Ceredigion countryside, and close to the walks, dolphin spotting and beaches of the stunning west coast and Cardigan Bay. National Trust sites, River Teifi fishing and canoeing, mountain pony trekking, Roman gold mines and blooming great gardens are in the area too. Lampeter, about three miles away, has plenty of food shops, independent stores and a farmers’ market, and the pub at Cellan, also three miles away, serves food and Sunday lunches - another romantic highlight…

England · 1 unit · Tent, Motorhome

Tucked deep in the heart of the South Wales forests, Valley of the Cool Trees is a private, off-grid group campsite set within a 1.5-acre wildflower meadow on our 19-acre smallholding. Here, you are truly immersed in nature. No roads, no traffic, no other people in sight, just the gentle sounds of birdsong and the whisper of the forest around you. The meadow offers generous space for tents, a small number of campervans, and touring caravans, with room for communal areas and group activities, all while feeling open, relaxed, and uncrowded. By day, enjoy sweeping valley views, and by night, the lack of light pollution makes it easy to spot the Milky Way overhead, creating a rare, unforgettable experience. Facilities are all within easy walking distance and include multiple compost toilets (2 total), a solar-powered outdoor hot shower, an outdoor field kitchen, BBQ, and fire pit. For wetter weather or evening gatherings, the 50-foot sheltered polytunnel provides a cozy space to relax, chill, and stay dry. It also features an additional indoor kitchen for extra cooking space, as well as a projector for films and plug sockets for charging phones or small devices, perfect for combining comfort with nature. The site is fully off-grid, with filtered spring water, solar-powered electricity, and fires for warmth and cooking. Everything is designed to keep the experience simple, low-impact, and deeply connected to the surrounding forest. Valley of the Cool Trees operates seasonally from May to October and is ideal for groups seeking privacy, space, and a truly rare immersion in nature, a place to escape, unwind, and enjoy a wildflower meadow in the heart of the forest.

Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

Absolutely beautiful site! Really well looked after and the stream was so lovely. Very quiet even with other campers. David was a great host, came to check we were all okay and settled. Also, very close to town so wasn’t very far to go if we needed anything but far enough away that it was quiet and peaceful. Would highly recommend this site and would go back if in the area again.

Stayed here for 3 nights and loved every minute of it. Michael was there when we arrived and was so accommodating the whole stay. The site was well kept, flat pitches which were spacious so had plenty of room. Lovely touch to have a picnic bench on each pitch as well! Toilets, showers and sinks were clean and tidy and Michael kept them stocked with loo roll and washing up liquid etc. Very peaceful stay and the night sky was stunning there, we will definitely be back!!

Weekend Trip to Broadmeadow Glamping

What an incredible place to stay. The photos don’t do the Billy Goat cabin and its little neigbour huts justice. Our kids had a blast in their own private wood, running through the pathways to the lookout and hanging out in the Wendy house and they couldn’t believe that we got to see the microlights take off right next to our base. Sally was just the most incredible and accommodating host and made us feel so welcome. We can’t wait to come back again! X

Katherine and her partner were so so lovely. They have a beautiful setting and very private beautiful landscape. Amenities were as stated and couldn’t have wanted more. We absolutely loved our stay, would definitely stay again. Even if they are busy you are completely undisturbed, because she put us in a different field as she had a big group the other field (you couldn’t hear them at all). 10/10 peaceful as advertised, great wildlife, including a few really friendly horses!! Thanks guys, will definitely be back :)

This place was an absolute gem find!! I went with a group of friends and we were looking for somewhere where we could do whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted. All the while have some very basic amenities. What we got however was one of the most beautiful camping spots, with outstanding amenities (two kitchens, polytunnel, shower etc) for such a remote location and an unbelievable amount of land to explore. This place absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. Amir and Qamer where brilliant hosts. We will 100% be back! Highly recommend

Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

This place is a gem. It’s in the forest, super peaceful, and the pitches are literally 3 steps from the water. I’m not exaggerating you could fish from your tent. Really easy to find too, which is great because my sense of direction is about as reliable as a chocolate teapot. And if you’re the type to forget tent pegs, gas, or, I don’t know, actual food like me, the shop’s only 5 mins away. Saved my bacon. Literally I forgot bacon. The river and the owls double as white noise during the night drowning out anything else. Slept like a rock.
