What customers say

This is a well-maintained wild camping site with spacious pitches, offering beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. Visitors consistently praise the friendly and helpful owners, the cleanliness of facilities like compost toilets and showers, and the availability of fire pits. While generally described as basic, the amenities are functional and well-organised. Some note the steep access road and lack of drinking water, but the overall experience is highly positive, with many recommending it for a back-to-nature getaway.

Chris B.

Shepherd's hut (no electricity)

Liked We absolutely loved our stay! It was perfect for a little family. Out two young children loved being able to run wild in the field that we were placed in. The fact that everything was provided in the communal kitchen was incredible. There was propane to cook with and all the utensils needed! The hut was so cozy! Super easy to find and although it's only a couple of minutes from town it was so quiet after six in the evening. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful night away! Plus this time of year plenty of blackberries to pick off the bushes!

Jonny S.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (pet friendly)

Liked Loved staying at Wenallt Wild Camping! Everything was clean, accessible and pitches were well spaced-out with great views. We loved having a fire every evening. Important to know that the running water is not drinkable - but there are always water bottles available, which made it really easy!

Disliked The only bit of feedback from us would be to have some more lights in the toilet block and the showers! Having a shower in the evening proved hilariously tricky as I left my torch back in the tent! :D
