  • Eco-friendly pop-up site in the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • An easy 10-minute walk from Crickhowell; Raglan 25 minutes' drive
  • Lovely mountain views; access to canalside walks and bike rides
A Powys pop-up site where you can park the car and then spend your days exploring on foot? That’s the deal at Camp Crick, in the gorgeous Usk Valley 10 minutes’ stroll from the pretty and historic market town of Crickhowell. The views from here are fine indeed – the site looks out at the Sugar Loaf and Table Mountain, with Llangattock Mountain behind. The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal runs past the fields too, for easy access to miles of safe cycling and walking along the towpath. For more walking options there are plenty of trails that lead off up into the mountains (see if you can find the very rare floating bog below the escarpment on Llangattock Mountain…) The car’s unlikely to see much action at all around here, in fact – that proximity to town means that you can easily walk to Crickhowell’s independent shops, cafés and pubs (and in fact there are a couple of pubs offering great food even closer in the village of Llangattock). Naturally, the team here have an interest in preserving this pretty part of the world, so they’ve set the site up as an eco-friendly off-grid place to stay. Generously sized pitches are tucked away within the hedges and well spaced so you’ll have plenty of room to soak up the surrounds and look out for the wildlife (resident tawny owls and buzzards are often seen, along with a wide range of songbirds). Facilities include compost loos (with biodegradable loo roll provided), cold showers and washing-up stations using spring water (you’ll need to boil it before drinking). There’s no parking by pitches (in order to preserve the peace and the wild flowers), but trailers and wheelbarrows are provided to haul your kit.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Such a lovely, unspoiled camping field. Very friendly owners and lovely views.
We loved the spacious pitches surrounded by ferns and the ready made camp fire area.
I didn’t dislike anything but composting loos and cold showers aren’t for everyone!

Beautiful, well-thought-out campsite that I’d happily recommend.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked I really enjoyed my stay at Camp Crick. The idea of designated private areas for each pitch is fantastic — it gives a wonderful sense of peace and privacy that’s rare to find. I also loved the fire pits at each pitch, such a great idea that makes evenings really special.
Overall though, it’s a beautiful, well-thought-out campsite that I’d happily recommend to anyone looking for tranquility, privacy, and a touch of charm.

Disliked The only area for improvement, in my view, is communication, which I found less satisfying compared to the rest of the experience.

Jane A.

Non-electric grass and earth campervan pitch

Liked The view is outstanding, the campsite is off grid and spacious but well equipped with camp fires at every pitch, logs available for purchase, several unearthed toilets, a cold water shower and solar powered charger. Crickhowell is fabulous to explore along with the canal, the mountain treks and the amazing redwood tress. The Llewellyn family are very friendly and helpful without invading your peace and quiet. Would definitely recommend.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Friendly, welcoming atmosphere. A lot of space between pitches. Amazing views of the Black Mountains. 15 mins walk into Crickhowell and swimming at the bridge : ) Solar phone charging. Open fires in the evening. Waking to birdsong. Very creative spring fed showers and compost loos!

Disliked Can't fault it if you want a back to basics camping experience (who needs hook ups?!)

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Was such a peaceful site. We went for 2 nights and honestly could have stayed longer. The hosts were super helpful throughout our stay. We loved the fact that we were cut into the hedge line so each pitch had their own privacy but also that there was no cars through the site, they did offer to ‘ferry’ your stuff over on a trailer they had which was helpful.
