Spectacularly scenic riverside park in the Tanat Valley
Hikes directly from the site and Lake Bala 13 miles away
Two dog-friendly pubs within walking distance

Cor. Have a look at this site’s setting: parked alongside the Tanat river and surrounded by peaks in the spectacularly scenic Tanat Valley in mid Wales’ Berwyn Mountains, it’s right near the pretty village of Llangynog, where the Tanat and Eirth rivers meet. And there’s more: right on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, Henstent Park’s surrounds are not only scenic but they're also handily set for jaunts to the market towns of Welshpool and Oswestry, plus the Vyrnwy and Bala lakes. The smashing views are 360 here – at every turn you’ll see grass, trees and mountains – and as the site’s bordered by a river, there’s the option to have a go at fishing nearby. This is a smashing site for walkers too: several hiking trails lead directly from the site and it’s a three-hour trek (or a 20-minute drive) up to Wales’ highest waterfall, Pistyll Rhaeadr. A gated dog walk runs alongside the riverbank (and one dog-friendly pub is within easy walking distance). The bathroom block – with free hot showers – has been hailed by previous guests as immaculate and spotless.

(Could not rate on child friendliness as we hadn't got children with us but there were families with children onsite.

Disliked: Not much around it.

Helen B. Apr 2025

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked: We loved our stay here - thank you!
Our pitch was by the river, with lambs in the field behind and surrounded by stunning scenery. Lots of lovely walks right on the doorstep; the local pub is only a short stroll away, where we enjoyed our meal. We are already planning a longer visit for the summer, when we hope to be able to explore the nearby lakes a bit more.

Disliked: Nothing.

(Though I might suggest some vacant/occupied signs for the toilet/shower doors perhaps).

Electric grass campervan pitch (small)

Liked: The peace of the surrounding nature. Clean and tidy facilities. Everything you need on a campsite for you and your furry friends! Such a welcoming check in. Lovely chatty interesting members of the park. Absolutely 100000% would stay again. Thankyou so so much, exactly what we was looking for/needed for a relaxing over night stay and late check out! We brought our own hammock to relax next to the stream watching the baby lambs and taking in the fresh air and beautiful scenery.

Electric grass tent pitch (no pets)

Liked: Beautiful location, pitched right by a little stream, nice facilities, all kept clean, and a quiet little site. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I also liked that they offered a discount as I was travelling solo, and an extra option to pay for a late-checkout.

Local attractions

Several walks lead directly from the site, and you can lace up your boots, pack up a picnic and hike the eight miles up to Wales’ highest waterfall, Pistyll Rhaeadr if you’re feeling particularly energised. Other outdoorsy pursuits within easy reach include horse riding, fishing and cycling… And as the site is right near Llangynog village, you’re also well placed for challenging and spectacularly scenic bike rides around the Milltir Cerrig mountain pass along the B4391, which runs between Llan Ffestiniog and Llanfyllin. If you fancy checking out the area’s lakes, the route over the mountain to Bala – 90 minutes’ bike ride or 25 minutes by car – is a highly scenic one, and at the end you’ll be greeted by lots of watery sports such as canoeing, windsurfing and whitewater rafting, or climbing, hiking, cycling, abseiling, archery and campcraft if you’d prefer to stay dry. Lake Vwrnwy is an easy half hour away.
