Off the beaten track heaven
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 We are just back from Locksters Pool, an idyllic location in the Wye Valley not far from Hay-on-Wye.
Attentive, friendly people running the show who were so helpful when we arrived - we were two sisters with 'all the gear no idea' about camping off grid!!
We had a real laugh with Richard and Yvonne (running the show) who went above and beyond getting us sorted! We enjoyed a lovely campfire - each pitch has a fire pit - and no light pollution meant an epic starry night.
Locksters Pool is the perfect spot for seasoned campers and canoe, paddleboarding and wild swimming enthusiasts, but not if you are looking for luxury in the loo department which were well-serviced portaloos (I have PTSD from festival loos circa 2017, so just as well I invested in a Portapotti!)
We will be back!
Amazing campsite
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 What a find!!! This is such a beautiful campsite!
When we arrived Richard couldn't do enough to help- offered us a number of pitches to see what suited us best. Yvonne's breakfast was fantastic and really set us up for the day in the marquee around the back. Such great hosts!!!
If you are looking for a quiet few days in beautiful surroundings then this is your place. Basic campsite but has showers and toilets that were always clean. Only 10 minutes to Hay on Wye and local pubs.
Thanks for looking after us x
Perfect weekend
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 The owners couldn't have been more friendly. The location is beautiful, waking up to the river every morning is incredible.
The shower was lovely and hot and the building itself was clean. Toilets were easily accessible and cleaned often.
All other campers were friendly, and respected the rules, we will definitely be back!
Excellent site
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Locksters Pool is an excellent site. Both Yvonne and Richard are great people and noting is to much trouble. I was blown away by how much they were doing for the groups of people staying at the site (including myself).
There are plenty of options for pitches; quieter ones for couples etc and some more family orientated pitches. The site itself is great and has great views, as well as direct access to the river.
There are walks to go on locally and your 5 minutes form Hay on Wye and various other things to do.
They do say that they can't accommodate larger vehicles/campers and that is made clear. However, I would say that the site is currently more geared towards tents than campervans currently. But if you have a tent or a smaller van I cannot recommend this site highly enough.
I will definitely be returning.
Hidden gem
