4 nights at Pytingwyn Woods

Lovely hosts. Easy to find. Peaceful place. Woodland and grass pitches. A compost toilet. River running through the woodland. Absolutely enjoyed my stay and will return. A wonderful campsite.

4 nights at Pytingwyn Woods

1 night at Pytingwyn Woods

An absolutely beautiful spot, I'll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Eden's Nook

Lovely and peaceful and the hosts could not do enough for you.

1 night at Pytingwyn Woods

Best camp site around. David was so friendly and so nice to be close to woodland and such a nice river. Can’t wait to return

Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

Absolutely beautiful spot. The river running through was the cherry on top. Feels very wild with only a couple of other campers which we barely saw. 100% recommend :)

2 nights at Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

We loved camping here! Pridie was super friendly and very informative about her land and surroundings. She took the time to chat with us and made us feel very welcomed. The Land is beautiful and can’t wait to come again the summer.

1 night at Eden's Nook

Lovely welcome. Great facilities for this small and quiet site. Have the option for a cooked breakfast is a great option.

1 night at Pytingwyn Woods

What a wonderful, peaceful camp- all to ourselves! Dreamy. A proper wild camp, no running water and a compost toilet but so peaceful and George the horse is gorgeous

Weekend Trip to Pengraig Fydlyn

Stunning spot! Fantastic utilities there! Will be back

4 nights at Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Oh my goodness. This site was simply magical. We were blessed with beautiful weather, but I’m sure no amount of rain could take away from this beautiful place. Pridie clearly loves and cares for her land. The pitches are large and well laid out, maximising privacy, it was quiet when we were there but I imagine it never feels “busy.” A fire pit is a great addition and the wood bundle was brilliant value for money. The composting loos were fab, the shower facilities basic but clean and hot! Washing facilities were great with eco-friendly washing up liquid provided. Plugs with USB in the Byre (where washing facilities are) for charging your tech (but hardly any signal - bliss.) We missed Pridie’s walk but overheard a bit of one and chatting with her she is clearly extremely knowledgeable about the land she cares for and I would definitely sign up for a walk next time we go. So many beautiful walks on your doorstep, with helpful walks highlighted in the Byre for you to explore, which was really helpful and led to us discovering some stunning walks nearby. This will be one of the very rare sites which we will revisit.

3 nights at Glan Y Mor Camping

Beautiful, peaceful campsite with lovely hosts and great location-walking distance to Pembroke through a pretty woodland. Facilities were immaculate and the shower was hot and powerful. A lovely communal area with a fridge, plug sockets, seating and firepit. We absolutely loved it here!

1 night at Pytingwyn Woods

Lovely spot to camp by the river! David came out and said hello a while after I arrived. Basic facilities but exactly as advertised

2 nights at Graig Wen - Wild Snowdonia Escapes

Straightforward check in and clear instructions given prior to arrival. All the stuff that you need is readily available. And the view waa splendid.

1 night at Pytingwyn Woods

Very nice and chilled field, quiet and peaceful. There is a limited amount of hard standing if it is muddy, plus a single composting loo

1 night at Pytingwyn Woods

Beautiful spot, perfect for the dogs, and generous with free firewood. Would definately stay again.

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Beautiful views and incredibly peaceful setting. Pridie was super welcoming and friendly. I can imagine that if the site was busy then the facilities would be in high demand, there is only one shower and it's in the same room as the only flushing toilet (there are two eco loos in the camping fields) but it was no problem when we stayed.

Weekend Trip to Henbant Permaculture Farm + Camp

What a beautiful place to stay, we absolutely enjoyed our night there, the only thing we didn’t like is that we only stayed one night 🥹 we’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

We absolutely love camping on Pridie and James’ land, it was perfect back to basic camping, compost loo and shower/wash room, plenty of space and outstanding views. We will 100% be returning especially when the sauna is built! This campsite was so peaceful and welcoming! The horse and sheep in the meadows next to your pitch are just incredible! Also worth getting a box or two of wood as the fires in the evening just top the day of perfectly! If you want a lovely refreshing weekend I can’t recommend this site enough! We didn’t want to leave!

Weekend Trip to Henbant Permaculture Farm + Camp

Beautiful spot and really helpful owners. Would definitely recommend.

Baldwins Brook Glamping

6 units · Glamping, Motorhomes3 acres · England

Small dog-friendly site on the banks of the river Severn Adjacent to the Severn Way and half an hour’s walk from the canal Wildlife haven within walking distance of pubs and Frampton on Severn Craving a peaceful time filled with wildlife watching, long walks and relaxing by the water? On the banks of the River Severn, Baldwin’s Brook Glamping in Gloucestershire fits the bill. This small site is a wildlife haven adjacent to the Severn Way, a long-distance trail which traces the river downstream. Birdwatching prospects are excellent here, and there’s plenty of peace if you’d rather sit and relax by a firepit or check out the stunning views and sunsets. The site is part of a working family farm with lots of livestock. From the farm, it’s a 45-minute walk to Frampton on Severn, which is home to the longest village green in England and the lively Frampton Country Fair (think funfair… and 400 stalls full of good stuff). Baldwin’s Brook Glamping is also half an hour’s walk away from the Cotswold Canal Trust Visitor Centre by The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal if you’d like to grab a spot on a boat trip or sip a coffee by the canal. When you'd rather have a chilled beer, two pubs are within half a mile of the site (only 10 minutes’ walk away). Strike up a conversation with a local about the next Severn Bore, the huge tidal wave which races for 25 miles from Awre to Gloucester down the estuary just a handful of times per year.

Gwersyllt Rhos y Gallt Campsite

10 units · Motorhomes, Tents12 acres · Powys, Mid Wales

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.

Llandyfan Camping

29 units · Glamping, Motorhomes, Tents10 acres · England

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.
