Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 We had an excellent 3 night stay, the owners were lovely and super helpful. The campsite was really well maintained, the location was excellent- just a 10 min drive from Hay on Wye where there is all the shopping you will need. The sky on a night time was worth the visit alone- I have never seen the sky so clear and so many stars to see, it was simply amazing.
Would definitely recommend this campsite to anyone!
Fantastic camp site! Recommends site
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 A fabulous campsite down a country lane in a beautiful location. We stayed in our VW campervan down by the river with fabulous views, swam in the river and enjoyed the camp fire that came with the spot.
The owner was very helpful and friendly. A lovely quiet spot, highly recommend, we'd come again. Great if you'd want to kayak down the river and camp en route.
Toilets were a bit whiffy but hey ho.
Pretty site Recommends site
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 A nice site but I think it would benefit from better facilities and hot water.
What an idyllic location Recommends site
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 A truly beautiful spot, literally located on the banks of the Wye. We really felt that we’d hit the jackpot when we were shown to our pitch with a very warm welcome. Peace, quiet, on a working farm (which adds to the charm) and the ability within a matter of feet to drop your canoe or kayak onto the river Wye. We loved it! No grandiose facilities here but that’s not what we were after. An added bonus was the individual pitch fire pit and being able to purchase a bag of logs/kindling etc. Quite magical by day and night. We will return!

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 We had a really beautiful stay at Locksters Pool. The riverside location is amazing and being able to wake up and go for a wild swim is unparalleled. It was easy to find and the hosts were on hand at reception when we arrived. There are a modest number of pitches, so it didn't feel too crowded and we were offered a choice of pitch upon arrival. The toilets were very clean, showers were available but we didn't try them out, big utility sink outside for washing up. A great fire pit and a hearty amount of chopped wood and a fire-starting kit were available for a tenner. I was worried before booking that it wouldn't be as secluded or picturesque as it looked online but it was, and one of the most scenic campsites I've stayed at.
We went for dinner at the Boat Inn nearby which was also good for decent pub food with a beautiful view. Hay-on-Wye and Brecon Beacons were also within driving distance and that formed our days out. There was a Co-Op 10 minutes away for any supplies. The campsite was peaceful and respectful at night.
I would really recommend this magical spot to anyone considering it.
Amazing place! Recommends site
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Hosts were fantastic and couldn't have been more helpful. Location was perfect and not far from local amenities if required. Really peaceful place with stunning scenery. It was great waking up and heading straight out onto the river.
Great value for money and had everything we needed. Would 100% recommend and return.
What a site, what a place! Recommends site
Aug 2022 This is my third time at Locksters. Yvonne and Richard are extremely welcoming with lots of brilliant country humour.
It's incredibly beautiful and peaceful staying at Locksters. I go every year if I can. It's great value for money & the town is lovely to go and visit. I've also done canoeing and spent a good day walking around the town. I've been to Locksters as a group with friends and I've been with my girlfriend as a romantic break. Yvonne and Richard are both so accommodating and helpful with getting you set up in the right spot. The river is perfect for a fresh morning swim. I've been to many festivals and I've seen the state of many portaloo's in my time and I can safely say that the loos at Locksters are always immaculate and smell fresh.
Hopefully see you again next year!
