Lovely chilled out campsite with clean facilities and a lovely unspoilt meadow and stream to play in. Super relaxing and flexible with checking out so we were able to leave the tent to dry in the sun before packing away. Great location, in east distance of the black mountains and red kite feeding centre (epic!)

Host was extremely helpful and welcoming. Absolutely amazing scenery. Immaculate facilities, when you arrive you will be greeted by Simon who will give you a map, to find the river, which we absolutely loved. They have a mini games barn to play ping pong, and you can even charge your phone via the solar charging stations! Highly recommend this place.

Weekend Trip to Cilrath Wood Camping

WOW! We have just returned from a 3 night stay, and I’m hesitant to write this… only because I don’t know if I want the world to discover this little haven we will now forever adopt as our own, BUT that would be selfish, and Peter deserves all the recognition for the pure love that has been poured into every detail of this little, beautiful campsite. The site is well taken care of with little trails that lead you to little secluded spots and to the larger field that is immaculately conserved with trees surrounding the space. We recommend you use an app that helps you identify all the birds because the bird song there is truly wild, loud and varied. There is a lovely little lake at the bottom of the site that is being preserved for the wildlife, with so much activity to be witnessed even in the short time we spent walking around it. The toilets are regularly maintained and super clean. The showers were hot, clean and in a separate block to the toilets. All brought together with a really well designed aesthetic as well as made incredibly functional. Both carry through the eco ethos and are stocked with environmentally considered products in case your own dont fit the bill. Peter (aka Grumpy Farmer who is an absolutely beautiful soul) was always on hand to come and help if need be, always seemingly working on the site on more beautiful features, projects that work with the campsite, like food banks, community growing and forest school. We will return. Yearly.

Simon was friendly and welcomed us when we arrived. Their property was scenic and we really enjoyed the nature around us, the river and sheep and the rolling hills. The facilities are functional and for me thats how I like to camp, just being there for the right reasons to be around nature ☺️ We had a great time using the firepits, they have usb charging if you need it. It was just really a nice break here at the farm
