Waterside campsites near Chepstow

Chepstow’s waterside camping scene is all about variety: over 230 options line rivers, lakes, and streams, from wild meadows on the Wye to tucked-away ponds just outside town. You’ll spot everything from basic tent pitches to sites with hot showers and campfires—showers and toilets are standard, and campfires are usually part of the deal. Favourite activities? Swimming, fishing, and horseback riding lead the pack. You can snag a spot for as little as £10 a night, though the average sits closer to £130. Locals return again and again to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite (185 reviews) for its riverside pitches, while Radcot Leisure on Thames (97 reviews) draws anglers and paddlers. For something quieter, Pytingwyn Woods (70 reviews) offers woodland seclusion right by the water. Bring wellies if it’s been raining—the ground near the river gets muddy fast—and don’t forget your swimmers.
