Campsite of the month: Red Kite Touring Park

Campsite location

Positioned on a gently sloping, south-facing site with beautiful views across the valley, adults-only Red Kite is in an ideal location for exploring the Clywedog Reservoir, Hafren Forest and the Elan Valley, or, further afield, the Snowdonia National Park and the Brecon Beacons.

The route to Llanidloes is only 20 minutes along a well-lit footpath and it's only a 40-minute drive to beautiful coastal towns.

About the campsite

Within the grounds of the park there are large dog-walking areas, with a separate fenced-off dog training area. There are pleasant walks from the park into town or along the River Clywedog, and the Severn Way skirts the park.

Late arrivals are welcome, with electric hook-up and water available, and large, clean refuse and recycling areas keep the park in top condition. The park is laid out into four terraces: Tylluan Wen (Owl), Bwncath (Buzzard), Barcud Coch (Red Kite) and Creyr Glas (Heron).

All pitches are gravel hardstanding, accessed along Tarmac roadways with brick-paved edgings. Each pitch is fully serviced with 16A electricity, fresh water connection, grey and brown water disposal, free WiFi on all pitches and piped television.

Close to the park is Clywedog Dam and there's a sailing club near, too. Just a 20-minute walk will take you into the market town of Llanidloes. Red kite feeding centres are close by, if you enjoy being in nature.
