 What a beautiful location for a campsite. With the backdrop of the mountains (snow covered while we were there) and the river running alongside you couldn't wish for a more perfect spot. Access to the site is good and the walk into the town takes about 15 minutes slow walking pace. Take a torch if you're out late! Everything you need in the town, plenty of welcoming pubs and cafes.
The owners of the site were really pleasant and helped us out when we found out we had a faulty gas bottle. The surrounding fields were full of sheep with their lambs which was lovely. Very little noise from the road on the other side of the rugby club and the stars filled the night's sky. Didn't use the showers or toilets so cant comment. Washing up was just in one sink so don't go when everyone else goes!
Pitch size was great with hard standing to the side. Had a bit of trouble pegging the porch awning down despite having a lump hammer and hard standing pegs.
No dog walk on site but this wasn't a problem.
Would recommend this site for those who like peace and quiet and a gorgeous rural setting.

On arrival we were shown round toilets/showers and on to our pitch by the owners. Very nice people, even helped set the power up, then later came and checked if all was ok.
You are surrounded by hills so weather is quite calm. Tv reception is good, point aerial to the town.
The site is clean and well kept, as are the toilets /showers. Extra new ones should be finished by the time this is listed. The pitches are well spaced.
They have a slide and climbing frame for the children. They have two working dogs both friendly.
The access is good. Even though it rained all bank holiday Monday, the site didn't get water logged.
Sat nav drops you off 100 yards from gate, but is sign posted, so no problem
The town is 10 mins walk. What a nice town. You can get everything from a tent peg to a car. Lots of pubs / resaurants. Try the fish dinner at Evans fish shop.
All in all a good site will go back again.

Just got back from an Easter Bank Holiday away here and absolutely loved it! We were a group of 6 adults, 3 kids, a toddler and 3 dogs.
The site is very accommodating due to its size with a 'pitch anywhere' policy. Its mostly flat but a bit 'lumpy' in places but not a major problem.
On arrival and throughout our stay the owners and family were very friendly and helpful, in particular putting on an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids that were there. It made their day! Thank You!
The facilities are pretty basic and the 'new' loo/shower block is still not built and will benefit the site immensely when it is finished (but no complaints from the ladies in the group, must be just me!)
It was a cold, wet weekend and still quite busy. The kids enjoyed playing around the river and the playground was simple but enough to keep them entertained. The site is generally fairly quiet with a low hum from a distant B road on the distance and on a Friday and Saturday you can even listen to the local rugby from the ground across the river!
The surrounding countryside is absolutely stunning and very accessible via the A470 with a small, quiet Llanidloes (Spar, usual takeaways / restaurants available and as previously mentioned, Evans Chip Shop is gorgeous!)close by.
All in all, everyone at our camp loved their stay here and will definitely make a return trip in the summer!

Very nice site. Flat and very well kept. Toilet and shower facillities not really adequate for the size of the site(but there is work in progress for a new one).
The town itself was not very big, very small shops but it passed an afternoon shopping. Evans chippy on the main street was the highlight of the day 10 out of ten for quality fish n chips mmmmm. Would go back if only for these.
The actual site was next to a river which you could have fires along (but as the weather was very wet for three days we never got to experience first hand.
All in all a very nice site and maybe we will return.

Just come back, from this site and will be going there again.
The owners are friendly and let you get on with your holiday, but ensure that the rules are respected as should be.
The children fished and swam in the river and made friends with other children and played all day.
We cooked on a campfire down by the river on a couple of evenings with other family members who had camped.
The facilities are basic and clean and there is a kitchen/lounge where you can heat up food, have a cuppa and store food in the fridge.
The caravans are nicely spaced out and the tents have plenty of choices. Either at the river bank or round in secluded spots in the large field.
Llanidloes is just over a mile away with plenty of good pubs and eating places/takeaways.

The site is on a working farm, and is separated into a caravan area, a 'neat' camping area and a more wild area stretching along the River Severn.
Seven of us stayed here for a couple of nights while walking in the area. We got a pitch down by the river, and made a small encampment of four sleeping tents and a mess tent. We enjoyed the tranquillity, the burble of the river and the magic of an open fire.
The facilities were clean. Showers take 20p pieces (40p gets you a decent long shower). There are not that many loos and showers for a site this size and I imagine they might get a bit busy in peak season, but we had no problems. (They are currently building a new block. )
The owners were friendly and helpful. They can also supply wood for fires.
All in all a good site, to be recommended.

This was our first visit to this site and the first time that we have stayed in Llanidloes.
We were very happy with the site and the facilities, the toilet block was clean and tidy. We found that 2 x 20p coins was about right for a shower. The showers are adjustable, so you can choose your preferred temperature.
There is currently a new block being built adjacent to the existing block.
We stayed in a touring caravan, and the pitches were level and included a hard-standing patch for the caravan to sit on. The pitches are well spaced, and you are not 'on-top' of your neighbours.
We were impressed with the Campers Kitchen - a great facility - including microwave, toaster, table and chairs as well as a fridge and other bits and bobs.
The camping field sat alongside the river, camp fires are allowed on the river bank.
Just be aware when exiting the site, go very slowly over the speed hump by the entrance, as you may catch the bottom of your car if you don't go over it at a crawling pace.
The site is quite large with a children's play area and plenty of room for children to play, but you may want to consider whether the site is suitable for you if you have young children and you are pitching near the river, as although not very deep it is quite fast flowing and is not fenced off along the 'beach' area.
Bring a torch for the nightly trip to the showers/toilets as it is very dark if there is no moon out!
The Satellite dish was very easy to line up (took about 3 seconds) and there is mobile phone signal on T-mobile and Orange.
Llanidloes is a very interesting town. We visited the toy shop mentioned in a previous review for some birthday presents, which was very well stocked, and we spent around 30 to 40 minutes in there! We highly recommend the chip shop on China Street - (Evans's) (located by the building which is in the middle of the road).
Devils bridge a short drive away is also a very good day out if you fancy walking down the 400ft waterfall, which has steps all the way down into the bottom. The visitor guide is a must (cost's 40p from the turnstile) as it tells you lots of interesting stuff along the way. (This activity is not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchair users.) There is also a steam train into Aberystwyth from Devils Bridge Station.
Certainly a site we will go back to - hopefully the weather will be kinder to us next time!

We visited this site after finding by chance then realised we had been here many years before. The facilities were much improved and lovely and clean. Pitches were well spaced. Owners were friendly. We would visit again as loved area good price also. A visit to the dam nearby is recommended don't forget your camera as the views are spectacular {on a clear day}.

Two humans and two dogs (one disabled). We had a wonderful time and will definitely return. Here is our advise to you:
1. Bring campfire stuff (but only for ground near river)
2. Bring hardened tent pegs if pitching near river
3. Pitch near to your view or some may pitch (rudely) in between you and your lovely view (and force you to move as we did)
4. Bring 20p's for shower. If ladies choose the shower room with the loo you can view the counter going down and ensure you've washed every bit of you before it cuts off. Only one 20p needed unless washing hair (3 mins)
5. Shower at odd times and you'll get a cleaner one eg 5pm
6. You can use the fridge on camp but put things toward the front or they get frozen
7. Try Bistro Harven for the best service in England (in town)!
8. Lovely coffee shop in town (also sells veggie wholefoods but rather fattening stuff)
9. Don't buy anything from the organic food next door to it cos it is of poor quality (shame, we like to support these businesses) but shop next to Bistro Harven good
10. Camping shop in town good - eccentric and helpful owners
11. Get someone from the farm to explain to route to Llandlois from the farm as it is complicated and you will need to climb a gate at the end (difficult with disabled dog)
12. Lovely round walk with fantastic views starts from the farm and goes up the lane (not obvious from map)
13. Bring your own mirror for drying your hair as there isn't one in the washing up room where the sockets are

Large site right by the River Severn with the camping field (non-EHU) mostly flat and you could pitch right by the river. Two showers taking 20p pieces (I used 1 for a shower and 2 for hair wash) and 3/4 loos per sex by the farmhouse where there are a few EHU pitches and children's play equipment. Could freeze ice packs/keep food cool in the fridge in the campers kitchen but this could get filled up. Washing up sink but no laundry facilities.
Llanidloes is an interesting town with butchers, bakers and small supermarket for supplies and a lovely old timbered Market Hall and Tourist Information with details of local walks.
Good value site, friendly people and nice location.
