Top campsites for hikers in Wales

·

Wales offers a staggering range of camping options for hikers—over 1,200 campsites, all with trails at your doorstep. You’ll find everything from basic tent pitches to sites with hot showers and campfires. Rugged coastlines, mossy woodlands, and wild hills shape the terrain. Expect prices averaging £65 per night, but some sites dip as low as £9. Favourites among seasoned campers include Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite (185 reviews), which sits near quiet riverbanks, Mynydd Mawr (121 reviews) with its sweeping mountain views, and Pwllyn Farm Camping (117 reviews)—sheep grazing nearby are part of the charm. Most sites let you light a campfire and offer basic facilities like toilets and showers. Wildlife-watching and fishing are common, but the real highlight is stepping straight from your tent onto miles of hiking paths.

Llandovery, Wales · 1 unit
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.

Welshpool, Wales · 10 units · Tents, Motorhomes
Guests to Rhos y Gallt describe the campsite as a little gem of a site - small, quite and tranquil with wonderful sunsets. The site can accommodate up to 5 caravans and 10 tents situated ​on a level 2 acre site within the beautiful rolling hills of Montgomeryshire in Mid Wales. There are hard standing pitches with electric hook-up as well as grass pitches with and without electric hook-up. There is also a field bordering a river which is used for wild camping - but you'll have to share it with the sheep! The toilet block has a family wet room with shower, toilet, wash hand basin and baby changing unit, a separate toilet, shower and kitchen area with freezer. The site borders a river meadow where visitors can wonder down and take a walk down with the river bank, relax by the water edge, throw a few skimmers, do a spot of fishing or even go wild water swimming (at your own risk!). ​Well behaved dogs are welcome (maximum 2 per unit). ​We were delighted to receive a nomination for The Camping and Caravanning Club Best Hideaway Site in 2021 and grateful to our wonderful guests for the nomination. ​
