About Cwm Wye Camping
A wonderful location to switch off. This off-grid site offers an 'almost wild' experience in the beautiful Powys countryside. A haven for wildlife, the site is just a stone's throw from the River Wye with the woodland providing a restful shaded area. There are just six non electric grass pitches onsite, each dotted around to ensure optimum peace and quiet. Each pitch allows tent and trailer tent campers only, with a maximum of six guests per pitch. Evenings can also be spent enjoying the communal fire pit, with all firewood provided. Bring your marshmallows, cook up a BBQ or simply unwind and have a chat with the other campers. This is a dog free site, and individual fire pits are not allowed. Please note, the site is a member of the Greener Camping Club so at least one of each party must be a member, but this can also be purchased when you book.
Cwm Wye Camping is open from 01/05 to 29/09.
Site facilities include two compost loos, a hot shower, washing-up area, a seating area and a communal fire pit. Firewood is also included.
Builth Wells is also a ten minute drive away where you will find The Fountain Inn and multiple other eateries. For picking up any essentials, there is also a Co-Op.

Thank you for letting us stay on your site. The meadow grass with cut outs keeps people's plots separate and can make it feel quite private. Woodland along the side with facilities spread around is great. Very quirky construction using good old up-cycling. Situated up and over the hill from the farm house on a newly built stone track. Is bumpy for cars but fine if slow. Believe they are planning further works so will probably have totally changed by next season. Owner services the facilities once/twice a day or more if contacted and came to check we were ok. Feel like they would have come up to check anyway. Owner mentioned improvements or things to add, as I recall it was only their second summer being open. My children said some outdoor play like a giant tyre swing or perhaps a nature obstacle course. Cut log stepping stones, etc. Only critique really being to manage who they are marketing the site to and who to attract, relative to the policies set out that attracted me to it.

We loved this magical place as soon as we drove down the track to the field! Its location is right on the banks of the River Wye on the path of the Wye Valley Walk and is surrounded by wonderful oak trees. We were lucky to have the place all to ourselves, although full capacity is still only 5 tents max at the moment. We loved the wooded area with a fire pit and BBQ area which we used one chilly night. The place is rustic and thoughtfully designed. Tania, the owner, is a hoot. Such a lovely lady who'll do anything to help if you ask. A little hidden gem.

Things to do on site and in the Builth Wells area
Just a short walk from the River Wye, this is a great location for waterside walks and gentle strolls through the countryside. For a longer walk, Builth Wells is around an hour stroll away where you can find charming pubs and eateries.
For a really spectacular sight, head to Elan Valley Dams (30 minutes) and Claerwen Dam Viewpoint (40 minutes). The dramatic view over the reservoir will take your breath away, and there are plenty of trails you can follow through the Elan Valley too.
If you are a lover of birds, then Valley View Falconry is 20 minutes away. Have an experience you won't forget, with the chance to meet and greet hawks and owls and even fly and handle them!
