Why stay here ...
Pencraig is a quiet, south-facing, large, lawned area, adult only site. The CL is part sloping with extensive views and is part of Nicola and John’s 12 acre home. John takes great pride in keeping the field regularly mown and members are requested to use breathable groundsheets only.
The nearest town of Llanfair Caereinion is 2.5 miles away with pubs/Post Office/chip shop/village stores etc. and the town is home to the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway. The nearby market town of Welshpool is home to the National Trust's Powis Castle and Gardens, the vast Coed-y-Dinas Country Store and Garden Centre, Welshpool Museum as well as many shops and eating places. We are about 15 minutes car drive from the beautiful Dyfnant Forest with its many miles of colour-coded cycling and walking tracks.
Also within about half an hour driving distance is the RSPB Lake Vyrnwy (featured on 'Springwatch') with its many walking trails and 19km perimeter road, level and quiet for cycling. Walkers will enjoy the Anne Griffiths Walk, Glyndwr's Way and the famous Kerry Ridgeway, amongst many. The world renowned Gregynog Hall past home of the Davies sisters whose collection of artefacts from their many travels abroad are on display - you can literally stand a breath away from one of the great Masters' paintings- with its library and beautiful gardens Gregynog is no more than a 15 minute car drive away.
There is a full and splendid Musical Festival organised each year with visiting multi-national musicians gracing the house and gardens. Or ... you could just stay on site and relax all day, why not. We have a collection of paperbacks and dvds available on a 'swap-system'.
Well behaved dogs on leads are most welcome, there is a designated 'Dog Walk' area for them, do be aware that this is Welsh sheep farming country and we are surrounded by flocks from neighbouring farmers.
Off ground barbeques only.
Early arrivals available.

Wonderfully peaceful with lovely views
Pencraig
Nicola and John have only recently taken over this site and they thoroughly deserve for their new venture to succeed. The CL is in a wonderful location surrounded by peaceful countryside with lovely views. The CL is immaculate from the closely mowed lawn to the upgraded toilet, shower and information cabin. Nicola and John live on site so are available to answer any questions and they keep everything neat and tidy. If you are looking for a CL in the Welsh countryside close enough to a number of attractions, Powis Castle in particular is worth a visit, we have no hesitation in recommending this site. The pitches are well marked and well spaced and are mainly level so it is very easy to set up your outfit. TV signal is good if you face the aerial down the valley and turn it vertically. Phone coverage is good. With prices increasing everywhere, £18 for 2 people and van with EHU is good value especially as the shower is free (with plenty of hot water) and the WC is kept spotless.
Visit to pencraig
Pencraig
Stayed at pencraig, when we asked for directions there was no mention of the quarter mile one track, no passing places,road to the site. Lovely views and very quiet, the toilet was alright,but,the shower was not . The temperature could only be accessed from outside, the first 2 nights it was too hot to use . After the shower , we had to get dried back at the caravan as the cubicle in the shed was too small .when we arrived we were made to feel uncomfortable by the owner, I was talking to him after a minute or so he interrupted and said just listen to what I’m saying.

If you like peace and quiet this is the place to be. Mac,Lynn and Springer Ivy
Peace, quite and wonderful scenery
Pencraig
If you love peace, tranquility and amazing scenery this very well maintained CL is the place. Short grass (with no clippings), planters with colourful flowers at the entrance and near the facilities which include a loo and a shower (both spotlessly clean), information hut, Elsan disposal, waste and recycling. All pitches are south facing and spacious with fabulous views. Even the ‘variable’ (rainy) weather didn’t detract from our enjoyment of the views or the site. Owners Rupert and Karen live next door and are very attentive without being intrusive.
The village is 2.5 miles away and has 3 pubs (we didn’t try them), a chippy and a small Spar shop. There is a larger Londis at the petrol station on the main road. Welshpool about 10 miles.
The directions in the CAMC handbook should be followed although our satnav took us straight there. I would recommend having a look at the location on Google maps as the 500m of road leading to the site is narrow. Don’t be put off by this as there are only very occasional vehicles.
We had a lovely 5 night stay and would highly recommend.
Wonderful site
Pencraig
Rupert and Karen were very welcoming and friendly. They run a beautiful and well kept site with 5 well marked places with incredible views over the Welsh hills. It is so peaceful and quiet. The toilet with sink was separate from the shower (both in different sheds) which is thoughtful and both were clean and tidy. Close by is Powis Castle which is well worth a visit with the most lovely gardens. This is a campsite we would definitely return to if in the area! You can tell that Rupert and Karen have done campervanning themselves as they have put a lot of thought into the site and they maintain it beautifully.
