  • Family- and dog-friendly site on the outskirts of Hay-on-Wye
  • Brecon Beacons National Park five minutes’ drive; Hereford 40 minutes
  • Toilet and shower block and launderette; communal fridge; barbecues
Surrounded by the splendid countryside of Mid-Wales, Hay-on-Wye Caravan Park is an excellent accommodation option – whether you’re into hiking or into the rather more sedentary activity of losing yourself into a good book. The family- and dog-friendly site is a five-minute drive from Hay-on-Wye, the small town on the English border known for its concentration of independent and specialist bookshops. What’s more, it sits a 10-minute walk from the grounds of the famed Hay Festival of Literature and Arts, which takes place at the start of summer (late May–early June) and draws authors, artists and other creative characters to this corner of the world. That’s the bookworms sorted. What about the walkers? Well, there’s plenty of choice for them, too, with Brecon Beacons National Park within a five-minute drive. Explore the park’s hills, woodlands and waterfalls, keeping an eye out for wildlife such as water voles, badgers and bats. It’s worth lingering until nightfall, for the Brecon Beacons is a recognised International Dark Sky Reserve, so you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views of the Milky Way and assorted constellations. The proximity to the River Wye also means there’s plenty to do on the water, with several outfits renting out paddleboards and canoes, and arranging guided river trips or canyoning excursions. After all that activity, you might well be ravenous, so stop for a bite to eat in Hay-on-Wye, or purchase your provisions there before heading back to base and getting the barbecue started. There’s a communal fridge freezer on site, as well as a washing-up area. Other amenities include a shower and toilet block (with facilities for disabled guests, too), and a launderette.

Powered grass tent site

Liked: Really warm welcome to what is a beautifully kept site. Ablutions are immaculately clean whenever you use them.

Disliked: A really minor point (but one that is being rectified!) is the minimal pot washing area. Only 2 sinks with 1 draining board - not ideal when the site is busy. Perhaps a small shop would be beneficial?

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for staying with us and for your feedback. Regarding the pot wash, we are already commencing works on a sparkling, large area behind the current pot wash. This will have five sinks and also... a dishwasher! Hope you can come stay again with us this year, Kind regards Lisa & Rob

Disliked: Not so much a dislike as a suggestion - full length mirror in the toilet block and temperature controls on the showers

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Nikki, Thanks for staying with us and we are really pleased that you enjoyed yourself. Noted regarding the mirror, I will be asking our owners if that is something we can do, Best wishes Lisa & Rob

Local attractions

Spreading along the banks of the River Wye, The Weir Garden (half an hour’s drive) has shaded waterside paths dotted with benches for picnics. Birdlife abounds here – from finches to mallards and woodpeckers – and if you’re lucky you might spot an otter, too. There’s also a walled garden and a glasshouse. The 13th-century cathedral in Hereford (40 minutes) holds the Mappa Mundi, a medieval map of the world drawn on a calf’s skin and adorned with real and mythical beasts, plus dog-headed men and one-legged people. After getting to know these unusual characters, visit the Museum of Cider, with its huge presses, and stock up on this locally made drink. To learn a thing or two about Wales’s mining history, head to the Big Pit National Coal Museum (50 minutes), which occupies a former coal mine. Don a hard hat and join the underground tour, which takes in both the coal faces and the engine houses.
