  • Family-run site on an organic smallholding in the Wye valley
  • A mile and a half from Hay-on-Wye
  • Modern amenities block with disabled facilities and family room
Books + Black Mountains + Welsh walks + Wye fishing = happy sigh. And all are around Black Mountain View Caravan Park in Powys: it's a mere mile and a half from Hay-on-Wye, in the Wye Valley, a short walk from Offa's Dyke Path – you'll probably figure out that mountain views are on offer here too…? Run by James and his family team (described as 'friendly', 'attentive', 'helpful' and even 'delightful' by previous guests), Black Mountain View is a small, relaxed and simple holiday park on an organic smallholding on the Powys/Herefordshire border. Comings and goings are a cinch, thanks to excellent access from the main road (no worries about road noise though – even A roads are pretty quiet in this part of the world). Pony treks, canoe paddles, golf days and bike-based outings are all good outdoorsy options in the surrounds, as are the many walks on offer. If you don't fancy tackling the entire Offa's Dyke Path (177 miles… not for the faint-legged) perhaps the 40-minute riverside section that takes you into Hay-on-Wye is a more palatable idea, still with those cracking mountain views. Fond of fishing? Bring your kit and licence to scout about for barbel, chub and dace in the Wye waters just next to the site. James and family have had many a touring holiday themselves, so know that good clean facilities are at the top of most campers' and caravanners' list for ticking: the amenities here include a recently-built toilet and shower block which also has disabled facilities and a family room.

What customers say

This is a beautifully maintained, peaceful site with stunning views of the Black Mountains. Visitors consistently praise the immaculately clean facilities, particularly the toilets and showers, and the friendly, helpful owner, James. Its location offers lovely walks directly from the site, including a scenic route into Hay-on-Wye. Pitches are generally well-spaced and level. Minor road noise was occasionally mentioned.

Power optional grass tent campsite (four person)

Liked James was very friendly and welcoming. The camping field (tent only) was nicely spaced out with a lovely view of the hills and easy access to Offa's Dyke which we followed straight into Hay-on-Wye. The washing and toilet facilities were very clean and tidy.

Alexandra C.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite (large)

Liked Facilities were warm and spotless, the host was so welcoming and friendly, camp site is quiet and peaceful, no music means you can relax during the day and enjoy the great views our pitch had. WiFi signal was good for us but I hear a few other pitches had issues.

Disliked Very close to a road, regular loud traffic and over the weekend we heard multiple cars driving recklessly and continuously beeping. This woke us up a few times. We didn’t feel as close to nature as we wanted due to the noise.

Recommend to friends Visit again

On the hole we were very impressed by how they run the site.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite (large)

Liked The views are amazing. The set up is very friendly and professional. We were greeted by the owner who showed us around and gave us lots of info. Everything was very well run, clean, tidy and you can tell the owners really cared about the site they had and wanted to keep it that way. I was also impressed with the toilet and shower block. It was very well laid out and clean. It was also great to be greeted when we arrived and they also said good bye when we left.

Disliked I don't think there is anything to dislike about the place.

Liked What an awesome place run by a great family and passionate host, James.
James meets and greets you on arrival and gives you all the information you need to make the most from your stay. The grounds are well maintained. The facilities are clean and more than adequate. But the view of the Black Mountains is something that we would never tire of.
Thank you James and family for making our anniversary memorable

Local attractions

Head to Hay for books, books and more books, and pub lunches/dinners in sunny beer gardens or indoors by roaring fires. The famed Hay Festival runs for 10 days each late May/early June; also in the area, check out the Brecon Jazz Festival at Brecon (20 minutes' drive) in August and Royal Welsh Show at Builth Wells (25 minutes) in July, the biggest agricultural show in the world. Heading outdoors, the Black Mountains, Wye Valley and Brecon Beacons National Park are beacons for those who like tramping around the outdoors: there are way too many activities and options to list here, but popular options include cycling, pony trekking, golfing, climbing, canoeing, potholing, whitewater rafting, fishing... Over the border, Herefordshire and the Golden Valley, in the lee of the Black Mountains, also have quite the pile going on, and amid similarly splendid scenery too. Visit Arthur's Stone (20 minutes) if you'd like to see what a neolithic burial chamber looks like after 5,000 or so years (pretty well preserved is the answer), or head on to Hereford (half an hour) for museums, the cathedral and tasty foodie/drinkie pickings.
