About the site

Situated just five minutes from the England and Wales border, along with the Brecon Beacons National Park, the site is in an ideal location for days out exploring. Surrounded by wildflowers and ancient woodland, this is the perfect spot for wildlife spotting and unwinding in the outdoors. The site offers three different camping areas, each with non electric grass pitches for tents and campervans. Each pitch allows up to six guests with access to a fire pit, great for evenings cooking up a BBQ or toasting marshmallows. The Wood Field area has two pitches available, each a small semi-circle mown into the long grass. This field is vehicle free and the furthest from the facilities, though there are wheelbarrows to help transport your things and it is wonderful for peace and quiet. There is also the Church Field area which provides two extra large pitches and two regular pitches. Each pitch is mown into tall meadow grass, enjoying beautiful views over to the Black Mountains. The main camping pitches lie in the Flat Field, each surrounded by wildflower grass with a mown play area in the centre, great for kids! If you're looking for a true escape, the cosy camping pod for four is hidden amongst the trees, sitting high over the orchard. Inside the insulated pod you will find deep-filled mattresses, along with electric heating and power sockets. Double doors open out onto a balcony with glorious views over to the Black Hill. A lower seating area provides you with an ideal spot for al fresco dining, equipped with a picnic table, log bench and a fire pit with a grill. Please note, bed linen, crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment are not provided for the pod. Located on a working farm, there are slow-growing cattle, sheep and pigs in the surrounding fields with the produce available from the onsite farm shop. Due to the resident animals, the site is pet free so dogs are not allowed, sorry. The site is also certified with the Greener Camping Club so at least one guest per pitch must be a member, though this can be purchased when you book.

Camping stays are available between 17th April and 13th October. The pod is available from March until November. Pitches from £75/night for 2 people.

Small Tent - Church Field Camping PitchesAug 2025

Beautiful location and fantastic large pitches. Has an amazing weekend! Only downside was that we were relying on the farm shop for supplies and it was rarely open all weekend. The nearest shop is a 5 miles drive to, not ideal.

Peaceful and relaxing stay

Medium Tent - Church Field Camping PitchesAug 2025

We loved our stay. Location was lovely, relaxing and very peaceful. Might have been helpful to get a welcome text saying about where the facilities were and if the shop would be open or not. Would definitely stay again! The food in the pub down the road was also amazing, though it's not open on Sundays.

Super spot

Medium Tent - Wood Field Camping PitchesAug 2025

Super spot. Amazing views. Lovely farmer owners who genuinely care about their environment. Pub literally next door is one of the best in the country uk. Hay on wye is close by and a lot less precious than you might expect (in a good way)!

A note from the site themselves...

Our site is based on our working farm. We have native and slow-growing cattle, sheep and pigs which are suited to life in the hilly wilds of Craswall.

The White Parks are great for conservation grazing too. Similarly, our rooting pigs enjoy the same plants and also turn the soil, providing new opportunities for plants and insects to flourish These are key grazers, doing the same job as the wild boar and cattle of ancient Britain.

Their eating and browsing action is the driving force behind our natural ecosystems. They are an essential ingredient of a healthy, diverse ecosystem upon which plants, animals, fungi, protoctista, and bacteria rely on. They are also a vital part of our fight against climate change, a central component of what we are trying to do!
