  • Quiet wildlife haven by the River Ithon
  • Peaceful and sheltered setting with free fishing on site
  • Licensed bar with Welsh beers, malt whiskies and more
Now this is a site that's fully in tune with its surroundings... peaceful and sheltered Disserth Caravan and Camping Park is in a wildlife haven on the banks of the River Ithon, where red kites and buzzards hover overhead and where you might catch a glimpse of the resident otter or kingfisher. Grayling trout fishing is available on site too and is free for guests; just remember to bring your rod licence. Junior explorers enjoy seeing what they can uncover in the depths with a net here as well; no licence required. (If angling's your thing, this is the area for it: the River Ithon is a tributary of the mighty River Wye, one of the best spots in the country for fishing and visited by anglers the world over to land salmon and trout from its waters.) Disserth Caravan and Camping Park is also quite in tune with what guests might fancy on hol, as it has a licensed bar with a good selection of Welsh beers and malt whiskies, as well as soft drinks, tea and coffee. Its well-kept amenities are in a modern log cabin with individual rooms, all with a toilet and washbasin and most also with a shower. Laundry and dishwashing facilities are also on site.

Shepherd's hut

Liked: The Shepherds Hut was perfect. It was that clean when I spilt water on the floor, when clearing up my white tissue remained white. The lady who greeted us was very lovely.

Disliked: Upon arrival we were discussing the cool phone box full of wood and how we might come and grab some later if ours runs out (nothing was said at this point). My partner and I were sat having a BBQ (tin one) and had a small fire lit (with our own wood at this point). A man came over and stated ‘That is not a BBQ and you took that fire from our property, that is blatant theft’. No introduction. We apologised instantly and offered to purchase more wood to replace theirs and tried to explain the confusion to which we were spoken over so not sure this was acknowledged. The man told us that we’d ‘better let that fire go out’ and not to replace the wood as ‘no point now.’ Didn’t see him again but was informed he was the man who owns it. This wasn’t a necessary interaction. A simple ‘hey, I run here, just a couple of things..’ and have a conversation. It unsettled us for a minute as unsure what we’d done wrong. The wood was placed back upon our departure today. Really sorry again for the confusion on our part. We too, feel an apology would have been well accepted. We are nice, approachable people :)

From the manager: Delighted you enjoyed your weekend Shepherd Hut stay. I will gladly apologise for my attitude and in hindsight I realise I appeared as a random stranger as we had not met at check in. My fault for watching the world cup rugby. Burning wood is a fire and not a BBQ, and the timber taken from our phone box store was treated wood which is not possibly the best choice for an open fire. As to helping yourself to the wood without permission, others can judge. Once again I apologise for my manner and attitude when I confronted you as I am sure you are very nice people.

Would stay there again.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Nice, quiet small site. Clean Dog friendly Well maintained.

Disliked: Too quiet and remote. Zero tv signal, poor wifi even though advertised as having free wifi. Boasts it has a licensed bar, not a bar we could recognise or find!! Toilet lights would switch off after 5 seconds, very annoying. Says no music allowed but we had to endure one of the fellow campers murdering various tunes on his trombone for 2hrs!! We found the manager a bit odd sorry to say, only our opinion and i’m sure he’ll come back with a remark to discount our review.

From the manager: Always one to pick up a challenge, here is the response from the 'odd' manager. Yes we have one toilet that has a short 'on' period out of six available,(it is to stop you falling asleep). As to the music practise it would appear you were the only ones bothered possibly because he was not 'murdering' his brass instrument. There were a number of other park guests soaking up the September sun and they were not offended by the music. If only you had asked, someone would have pointed you in the direction of the bar and you could have joined in the Saturday motorbike conversations as the vintage bikes obviously caught your eye and interest, the barman however was the 'odd manager'. The only comment as manager I would make is it is sad we have become a nation of 'reviewers' and not talkers. If you had looked at a map before booking it would have been obvious the park is in the middle of countryside and hence 'quiet' and then you would have avoided travelling to a park that was unsuitable for you.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: What a gem of a site! So peaceful, and just a lovely setting with all of the trees etc. The shower facilities were outstanding (rainfall showers in a camp site!!), and we just felt at home as soon as we arrived. We only stayed 1 night as part of a tour, but wished we'd booked for longer, and we'll definitely be back.

Disliked: Nothing at all!

Also have a look at nearby Abbey Cym Hir Hall at Llandrindod Wells, a neo-Elizabethan country mansion built in the 19th century, and at the Judge's Lodgings in Presteigne, a recreation of a 19th-century judge's house – courtroom included.
