2 nights at Eden's Nook

Beautiful site every thing you could ask for. Perfect hosts, perfect setting. Definitely a must

Weekend Trip to Ffosygrafel Isaf Camping

Lovely campsite, spacious with lovely views and beautiful finishing touches, both in the indoor communal spaces (showers, loos, roundhouse) and outdoors. Great directions and clear communication from the hosts.

5 nights at Abbey Home Farm

Abbey Home Farm Campsite is a real find if you’re looking for a peaceful, rural getaway. I loved the quietness and natural feel of the site – it’s surrounded by countryside and feels properly off-grid in the best way. It’s particularly great for families with young children. The site limits cars and doesn’t allow dogs, which made it feel really safe and relaxed for our kids to explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s a gentle, welcoming atmosphere throughout. The on-site shop and café were excellent – stocked with fresh, organic produce and really tasty food. Everything is thoughtfully done and clearly in tune with the farm’s ethos. I had to delay my trip at the last minute, and the team were incredibly understanding, letting me shift the booking and even stay on extra days. That kind of flexibility and kindness made a big difference. There are beautiful walks straight from the site and plenty of local amenities nearby if needed – although honestly, once you’re there, you might not want to leave. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unplug and enjoy a slower pace in a gorgeous, family-friendly setting.

3 nights at Wild conTENTment

Absolutely beautiful site which was made even more special with Beryl. We loved the wildlife areas and the little paths to find games and the stream. We had a family game of rounders and watched the sunset from the bath 💖 we will certainly be coming back!

4 nights at 68 Degrees West

A superb little campsite with really nice and clean facilities. We pitched a couple of roof tents at the bottom next to the hedge and this gave us ample room to set up together as two families.

2 nights at Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Fantastic! Pridie was lovely and the sauna was fantastic on a wet day. Just what we needed!

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

This is a really lovely campsite. The pitches are far apart around a beautiful meadow with amazing views. We spotted lots of wildlife in the meadow (grasshoppers and butterflies) and up high (birds of prey). Pirdie is friendly and very knowledgeable, she recommended a wonderful walk to some waterfalls that was just right for our young children. Facilities are clean, there is one shower and flushing toilet in the same bathroom, the rest are compost loos, so it is more of a back to basics vibe, but this was great for us and more than worth it for how peaceful and spacious the site is. We would love to come back.

1 night at Abbey Home Farm

We loved it. Amazing view, flat pitches, basic but clean amenities, great shop and incredibly quiet fellow campers. Highly recommended!

1 night at Digeddi Wildlife Camping

Amazing place, very peaceful and very beautiful, the surroundings are idyllic, amazing pitch, right next to the river, lovely to swim in, and the fire pits are an added bonus, you cannot go wrong with this site, and the host is lovely, makes you feel more than welcome, we will definitely be back, Antony and Lou

Weekend Trip to Abbey Home Farm

We had a lovely time. The campsite is great and the facilities clean. The views were amazing and there was lots of space. I would definitely recommend the site. Worth noting the check-in time is 5pm. We were a bit late but found everyone helpful. it could have been difficult to sort though if we hadnt lucked out. So make sure you speak to them!

2 nights at Aldridge Mill

Nice place to get away from everything. Only the sound of the birds and the stream. Lovely place.

2 nights at Abbey Home Farm

This was a great find and I had a lovely 2 nights at Abbey Farm! I was in a small van, the field for vans is at the top and surrounded by hedgerows, it is still lovely but without the amazing views you would have with a tent. The site is no vehicles which is totally understandable. Having walked around I can imagine the area with the pitches cut in the flower meadow will be absolutely stunning in a few weeks when the flowers come through! I sat there last night and watched the sunset, listening to the birds, the lambs, what’s not to love over the rolling hills! There were hares running around this morning too. There is a walk through the woods to the farm shop and cafe. The facilities were as described, the 2 showers were heated, they are in a wooden structure in the woods, but there is something quite nice about hearing the birds chirp away whilst your in the shower. The toilets are long drop composting loos, they were clean enough, and were cleaned whilst I was there, you will need your own loo roll and hand sanitiser though. It really is a gem of a campsite and one that I’ll definitely return to.

4 nights at Ivy Cottage Caravan Park

Lovely well maintained site with very clean bathroom facilities. Would definitely go back there although maybe book direct - the info on costs, etc shown on Hipcamp did not really align with the reality.

Weekend Trip to Abbey Home Farm

Really lovely place to stay! Pity about the No dog policy but understand the reasons!

2 nights at Hillfort Camping

We had a two night stay at Hillfort camping - it was amazing! We pitched our van at the top of the site and had the most incredible 360 views over rolling fields and the sea. Saw the sun rise and set, just beautiful. And so peaceful. John was super friendly and offered to get us any supplies we needed from the shop :) Facilities basic but that was exactly what we were after so perfect for us. All in all, a wonderful site that we are hoping to revisit. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Abbey Home Farm

2 nights at Wild conTENTment

Best place we have stayed!! So relaxing and peaceful, lots of rabbits and bird to watch. The pitch was out of this world. We took our reactive dog and it was the best place we could of brought him so dog friendly. The host is so lovely and kind also very helpful if need will definitely be rebooking.

It was perfect for what we were looking for. Peace and tranquility with beautiful surroundings 💜

Teifi Meadows

11 units · Motorhomes, Tents3 acres · L Ampeter

We are a small, peaceful. secluded campsite bordered by woodland and a stream, set amidst the wildlife country of the Ceredigion countryside on the edge of the Cambrian mountains. With only 20 camping pitches and 'The Bothy' shepherd's hut, Teifi Meadows is a place to relax, unwind and appreciate the calming beauty of nature. This is a dark sky zone with stunning celestial views on clear nights, and near-zero light pollution as well as pristine air and water quality. Our guests tend to appreciate the quiet stillness here and we don't have a lot of disturbances...so all you will hear is the wind, the birds, the rushing streams and perhaps the odd cow! :) Everyone, even the cynical, should have a little romance in their lives. Especially if it includes a scenic setting with easy access to local pubs (a holiday extra that thaws the icy hearts of the cynical even more than blazing sunsets). Teifi Meadows should warm the battery of your camera as well as the cockles of your heart: this is wildlife country – look out for red kites overhead – in the midst of the greenery of the Ceredigion countryside, and close to the walks, dolphin spotting and beaches of the stunning west coast and Cardigan Bay. National Trust sites, River Teifi fishing and canoeing, mountain pony trekking, Roman gold mines and blooming great gardens are in the area too. Lampeter, about three miles away, has plenty of food shops, independent stores and a farmers’ market, and the pub at Cellan, also three miles away, serves food and Sunday lunches - another romantic highlight…

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. Please either take it with you or recycle it appropriately in the bins onsite. There are bins around the campsite, please recycle where possible. Pitches to be left as you found them. Noise: Be respectful and consider your neighbours. Keep noise to a minimum after 10pm and before 8am in the morning. No loud music is to be played at any time. Children: Children must be supervised at all times around the campsite and can play within the pitch space allocated to you. At quiet times, it may be possible for children to use vacant pitches for play but this cannot be guaranteed. The amenity block and associated facilities are not to be used as a play area. Dogs: Must not to be left unattended. Are to be kept on leads at all times whilst on the campsite. (We are working on an enclosed dog walking area, however this is not yet available). no refunds on bookings if cancelled withing 10days of booking

Private sites caravan campsites near Crickhowell guide

Overview

It is difficult to conceive of a destination more tailor-made for holidaying hikers anywhere in Southern Britain than Crickhowell. This charming village is ramparted by fabled hiking areas the Black Mountains (east) and the Eastern Brecon Beacons (west). Another outdoor attraction dividing these two rugged hunks of upland is the River Usk, along which you’ll find Crickhowell’s well-tended and conveniently central campsite: it’s a short walk to the village’s vibrant, independent high street and atmospheric pubs. The Usk is diverted into the delightfully restored Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal along a part of its course running close to Crickhowell, and this provides another gentle and family-friendly outdoor playground.

Where to go

Black Mountains

The Black Mountains flank the eastern end of Brecon Beacons National Park, a dark, brooding wedge of hills running from Abergavenny to Hay-on-Wye, above to Crickhowell’s east. Campers can cut across the hills from Crickhowell to Stanton to access the road through the heart of the mountains, the Vale of Ewyas, or take an enticing network of hiking trails up to the ridgetop. Campsites hereabouts are simple and small-scale: try tenting up at Llanthony, with its majestic 12th-century ruined priory.

Eastern Brecon Beacons

The Eastern Brecon Beacons themselves slot into the Brecon Beacons National Park west of the Black Mountains and north of Merthyr Tydfil. It is the park’s most-visited area, with the highest peak (2,907-foot Pen y Fan) and easy access from towns and villages popular with visitors, like Crickhowell, on the eastern edge. Camping in this wild expanse generally means pitching in the verdant valleys around the edge.

Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal

This 36-mile winsome waterway traces the line of the River Usk between Brecon and Abergavenny, and on to Cwmbran - navigable along its entirety and with a towpath perfect for pedalling along. It passes within 1.5 miles of Crickhowell at Llangattock. It shows a side to the Brecon Beacons National Park you otherwise seldom see: tranquil, tree-fringed water and dreamy time-lost villages. Canal-bound campers can find places to pitch near the canal’s northern end.

When to go

Pick calm weather for forays into the tempestuous Black Mountains and Eastern Brecon Beacons, though weather in the valley around Crickhowell is more calm. March announces the Crickhowell Walking Festival—a great time to explore the local paths free from summer’s crowds. Otherwise, May and September are often the driest months for long-distance hiking.
