Hammock camping in a private woodland with hammocks provided

If you fancy giving hammock camping a go but don’t want to invest in the gear, this site in Mid Wales is the one for you. It’s a fantastic way to try wild camping in hammocks without actually going wild and without even owning hammocks. You simply book your stay, pack warm clothes, and plan your campfire dinners – then turn up ready to embrace the outdoors. Host, Chris, will set you off in the right direction. And the direction for Wild Hammock Camping is into the trees of a secluded, private woodland with a brook running through it. He’ll give you the hammocks, he'll provide the firewood and drinking water and then, he’ll leave you to enjoy your own private wild camp for the weekend.

The idea is that you sling your hammocks between the trees, you make your campfire and you embrace the wild. There’s no WiFi or phone signal here. The place is truly off grid and it won’t be for everybody but if you want to have a go at wild-ish camping, this is about as good as it gets. All the basics are covered (it has a compost loo) and you have the place entirely to yourself. Up to six can stay here and it works as well for an outdoorsy family whose kids who’ll enjoy playing in the stream as it does for groups of grown-up friends who want to catch up around the campfire. Everyone will enjoy the novelty of sleeping in a hammock. And, perhaps, even seasoned hammock campers will embrace the beauty of the site and the handy facilities.

This campsite may feel “out there” but in truth you are a five-minute drive from the nearest pub. The closest town is Knighton on the English-Welsh border and Llandrindod Wells is another a bit further away. It’s a Victorian spa town with independent shops and cafes and it’s about half an hour’s drive from here. But you don’t come to a place like this to experience all that. You come to get away from it all and enjoy the trees, the birdsong, the babbling brook and the campfire.

The hammocks are hired out and the guests are welcome to hang the camping hammocks on trees where they like in the woods (although there is a main area we’ve cleared with a few seats around a campfire that we feel is suitable for larger groups). There are a couple of country pubs a few miles down the road and also the supermarkets and takeaways are about 20 mins away

Hammocks by a woodland stream
Chris was a friendly host and he came to check we had everything we needed. Perfect place for a secluded getaway in nature. The hammocks were comfortable and cocoon you out of the breeze.

Loved the brook and the hammocks!
The hammocks proved to be more comfortable than expected. Being next to the brook, weather seemed cooler but Chris made sure we had everything we need. We had wood and plenty of wood lying around to warm us up all night. The brook was a hit to the kids and we had the place all to ourselves. Its definitely worth doing again. Thank you Chris!

we loved our night in the hammocks! something very tranquil & relaxing about being out in the open like this! It was a great opportunity to reconnect with my children. it was just myself & my 11 year old twins, & tbh, they were a little scared at first but after a few games, building fairy bridges over the stream & cooking over the open fire, they soon settled into it! The are was beautiful, peaceful & very secluded! Just us & we saw a couple of sheep in the field opposite! there was plenty of firewood & water for us.

Great place to camp in a very secluded area with a convenient stream(natural beer cooler) going through camp. Chris is very accommodating, providing us with wood for the fire and any information about the surrounding area. He was also very quick to message with information on how to get to the site even though I booked on the same day. The toilet on site is very clean with wood shavings to cover and smells which is a great touch! not sure if it’s just a standard with among campsites but there isn’t any way of cooking food on the fire so make sure if you plan on cooking to bring everything you need. Will definitely come back with a few more mates as the overall experience was great!

From the host
Wild Hammock Camping is located in a secluded woodland, next to a lovely brook. The price includes hammock hire, shelter, drinking water, toilet facilities and a fire starting kit. There is no WiFi and no mobile signal, so it is the ideal place to disconnect and reconnect. Wild Hammock Camping is 20 mins from the supermarkets and 5 minutes from a local pub (so not to far from civilisation!)
Nearby attractions

The exact location of the private woodland in which you’ll find Wild Hammock Camping is revealed after booking. It’s not far from the Welsh-English border and both the surrounding peaks and woodlands and the Shropshire Hills are a tempting place for a walk. Glyndwr’s Way National Trail passes close by and offers a well-signposted route as does another national Trail, Offa’s Dyke Path which can be joined in the small market town of Knighton, about 20 minutes’ drive away. There’s even an Offa’s Dyke Centre there. The spa town of Llandrinod Wells is about 30 minutes’ drive and Hay-on-Wye is a bit further than that.

Food and drink

The closest of a few country pubs to wild Hammock Camping is The Wharf Inn at Felindre. The Radnorshire Arms is another, two miles further on in Beguildy. For supplies to cook for yourself you’ll need to head to Knighton where there’s a good range of shops including a small supermarket.
