This isn’t a place for drive-in, drive-out holidays. It’s for staying, relaxing and enjoying nature. More 'nearly wild' in farming countryside, than manicured sectioned areas. Enclosed paddocks, no nearby roads, and only the gentle hum of a distant train from across the canal, this is countryside relaxation at its finest. Watch the canal boats drift by, or go for a walk or cycle on the network of paths beside them. If your feeling adventurous, take a paddleboard or canoe onto the water, or hire a longboat for the day. Walk to the nearby dog friendly, local pubs, or a short drive there are many options of restaurants, from country pubs to fine dining of all different cultures including takeaways. Or stay onsite with a BBQ, campsite cooking or firepit. Supermarkets, farm shops, garden centres, national trust, activity parks and many other off site places to visit within close proximity, such as historic Chester or the monkeys at Trentham Garden. You can book experiences with the animals we have on site, horses, alpacas, pygmy goats, sheep, rescue hens and our own dogs love a fuss. Your dogs are very welcome, including reactive and exempt dogs. We have enclosed 1 acre paddocks for you to stay. With a choice of paddock or hardstanding pitches, we can accommodate you whatever the weather. We have a glamping tent with a full size double bed available to hire. This can sleep 6 with additional beds. Subtle solar lighting, table and chairs, blankets and cushions to sit outside in the evenings and watch the sunset. We are perfect for a technology detox, while we have electricity on site to charge your phones, there is no electric to the pitches. Use of a fridge freezer, small kitchen area with hot water, shower bay and mains water. 1 x EHU available..

Weekend Trip to Ffosygrafel Isaf Camping

Our second stay and even more perfect, the camper van pitch is secluded and quiet, the decking and fire pit beautiful touches for relaxing outside of the van. We were very pleasantly surprised at just how warm the showers were despite the wind and cold and the roundhouse is lovely. To top it all it’s easy to get to the coast path and marvel at the dramatic coastline. 💕

We recently camped at this enchanting site with our two children, aged 8, 9, and our dog. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a fairy tale, complete with a beautifully crafted communal campfire hobbit house. Despite stormy weather, the cozy atmosphere of the hobbit house provided the perfect retreat for family bonding. The camping pitches were well-groomed, flat, and sheltered, ensuring a comfortable experience. The facilities were impressively clean, far exceeding our expectations for compostable toilets, and the warm showers offered a refreshing luxury after a day of outdoor fun. A highlight was the hobbit hut, featuring warm water for dishwashing, making it feel like a home away from home. The food prep space and cozy seating area encouraged board games and reading, keeping our kids entertained for hours. With stunning dark skies at night, the site is perfect for stargazing—bringing a telescope is recommended. The welcoming owners added to the friendly atmosphere that made our experience special. Conveniently located for day trips to Aberystwyth or Borth, there is a shop around 1 mile away, though we suggest bringing marshmallows and wood for the campfire. The owner sells firewood, ensuring you can enjoy magical evenings around the fire. The children loved playing on the swing and running in haystacks, while our dog received a warm welcome, making it a truly family-friendly location. Overall, this campsite was the highlight of our summer.

it is absolutely worth the magical mystery tour to find this place, tucked away in the hills behind aberystwyth. it is a gorgeous and well equipped site with everything you need and nothing you don’t. there is plenty of space between the pitches which have a lovely vista, and was very pretty in the early morning, late summer light. we only stayed a brief night there to break a journey but would happily go back for a proper rest and recharge for a few nights, it felt like a deeply peaceful place. lots of nice thoughtful touches in the facilities, all very clean, and a helpful and communicative host. thankyou for sharing your land with us.

Wonderful place, perfect to reconnect to the nature as all you can hear are birds and grasshoppers and the service is unpredictable (which is an advantage for me). Toilets, showers and all common spaces very clean and kept in great condition. Would love to come back.

What a magical spot for our first trip in our new to us (but very old) camper. Toilet and showers were beautiful and clean, the roundhouse is a great space and the camping field and lighted decking in the quarry just lovely. No mobile phone signal apart from on the bench and this made it even better. Would recommend for a real getaway from it all site!

I stayed for 2 nights in my camper with my dog. I was so lucky to have this site all to myself on the first night, and was treated to the most beautiful sunset across the wild flower field. Loved the eco-friendly toilet and shower set up, and Jessamy was super fast to check in and provide information, and to come to my rescue after managing to dislodge the shower! A really lovely spot, perfectly located for visiting Hafren Forest and a stones throw from the lovely town of Llanidloes.

We stayed in the Oak cabin. Both cabins are pretty identical. Absolutely fantastic stay with an amazing location and stunning views. Unfortunately we didn't have the best weather but that was ok because we had all the facilities we needed to cook, clean and relax. Super easy access to nearby towns if wanting to venture off to find stuff to do. The outdoor bath was a really nice touch as well. Felt so relived and stress free not having to think about the daily grind for a few nights. Couldn't recommend Wildwood Quarry Retreat enough!! Thanks a lot Colin. :) Matt
