  • 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.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Camped here for two nights night with my son (8 yo), on our annual father-son trip. A very warm welcome and help getting our stuff from the car to the pitch. Lovely site, the car didn't move as we walked everywhere including the 4 hour round trip up Crug Hywel and back. A great place to sit by the fire and watch it get dark. We'd come back.

Carol U.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Very friendly owners, they came down to meet me and show me around and transport my tent and stuff to the pitch. The pitch was very private and not far from the loo, but far from anyone else, so I felt very secluded and a bit wild campy! The views were amazing of the mountains in the distance. The sunset made them glow orange and pink.
The site was very clean and all the different bins for recycling were evident. Tap water was available to drink in barrels around the campsite.

Disliked Not the fault of the site at all, but as it was so dry, the ground was a bit lumpy and rock hard. In normal years I am sure it would have been fine!

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked I was only here for one night for a stop over before a days hiking so I didn't really have chance to fully enjoy the site but I instantly knew I would want to come back another time and stay for longer. I had such a warm welcome on arrival and I loved the secluded pitches behind the ferns, it made it feel really cosy. Lovely touches around the campsite like the beautiful artwork in the loos. The location is perfect for hikes and pubs for food etc and great value for money - I was not expecting such a lovely campsite for what you pay per night. will definitely be coming back!

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked A warm welcome from one of the sons, who unfortunately his name escapes me.
Compost toilet was odourless and tidy.
The pitches are well spaced apart and give privacy.
An easy walk into town for beer and some more beer.
There's a canal nearby for added interest.
Only stayed for one night so the spring cold shower didn't sound very appealing.
If I was staying longer I'd make my own arrangement for a warm one.
Easy to use wheel barrows to move your stuff to the pitch.

Unpowered grass tent site

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!
