Disserth is an idyllic location for your caravan, motorhome or tent for a relaxing rest from the hustle and bustle of modern living or a base from which to explore the natural beauty of the Heart of Wales.
Set amidst natural tranquillity this compact sheltered level park has been accommodating travellers for centuries.
Surrounding Disserth is a wealth of the majestic scenery that is the 'Heart of Wales'. Within a few minutes you can be in the Elan Valley with its amazing reservoirs and dams complex.
The wonderfully peaceful countryside in this area is just begging discovery and on a hot sunny day the seaside is under an hour away.
From Disserth you can go fishing in the River Ithon or the lake in Llandrindod Wells. For walkers the whole county of Powys is criss-crossed with public rights of way.
Llandrindod Wells hosts the annual 'Victorian Festival' and down the road in Builth Wells is the 'Welsh Agricultural Show' (Royal Welsh Show). Builth also boasts the Wyeside theatre and cinema. At Rhayader is the Elan Valley with its series of dams and reservoirs and the Gilgrin Farm Red Kite feeding station.

Tucked away under the watchful eye of St Cewydd's on the one side and bordered by the babbling river Ithon lies Disserth Caravan and Camping Park. Set amidst natural tranquillity this compact sheltered level park has been accommodating travellers for centuries, once it was an overnight stop for drovers heading for the Midlands and now today it is an idyllic location for your caravan, motorhome or tent for a relaxing rest from the hustle and bustle of modern living or a base from which to explore the natural beauty of the Heart of Wales.
Beautiful SceneryThe fortunate few really do know that they have otters for neighbours and those budding anglers amongst you will have to compete with the resident kingfisher and heron for a share of the catch. Buzzards and red kite regularly grace the thermals over the park whilst the surrounding hedgerows and trees are home to a wealth of smaller birds. On a warm summer evening with a cloudless sky the unfolding night sky is a joy to behold as there is no white light pollution to interrupt the spectacle.
30 sheltered level pitches. Most are informal grass pitches but they have now added 5 hard standing pitches all of which have an adjacent water tap and grey water drainage for your convenience.
16 amp electric hook-ups available for every pitch.
Patsies Photo of Disserth's Toilet BlockToilet and washing facilities are located in a purpose built log cabin where you will find a series of airy (all have windows) individual rooms offering total privacy. Each of the eight rooms has a toilet and full size wash basin, with five of the rooms also having a shower and electric shaver point. One of these shower/toilet rooms has been created to meet the needs of wheelchair users. They also have a further shower room which can be booked for exclusive private use, just like having ensuite in a hotel. A coin-operated hair drier is also provided in a further part of the building again with privacy. The building is on one level and has ramped approaches, with the only necessary step being a 100mm rise into the shower with the exception of the wheelchair access room where the shower is incorporated into the floor.
Reservations are not normally necessary except at Bank Holidays and Royal Welsh Show (3rd Monday in July).
Re-cycling and waste disposal facilities are discreetly located in the entrance yard away from all touring pitches, along with the grey water and toilet disposal points.
Water points strategically placed on touring park some pitches have their own tap and grey water drainage.
Dish washing room where a fridge and microwave are provided for the use of campers.
Immediately off the dishwashing room is a laundry room with sink, coin operated washing machine and tumble drier. Ironing facility also provided. Whilst waiting for your washing you can investigate local attractions as our tourist information leaflets are displayed in the laundry facility.

For those who wish to enjoy Disserth longer they offer a few informal seasonal pitches for touring caravans. A modest daily storage fee is levied and the normal pitch fees are paid when the caravan is in use. All they ask is that you telephone 24 hours before your visit and they will place the caravan on the park ready for your arrival.
