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.
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.

Incredible CL
Having toured the country for weeks at a time and staying in different CLs each night we can definitely say that this is one of the best. The site is well kept and each pitch has a great view. We spent the evening sitting on a picnic blanket watching the... Show more

What a gem of a site
This site is probably the best kept site with the friendliest owners we’ve ever stayed at. From the moment we arrived, they could not do enough for us. The toilet was spotless. The shower was lovely and hot and had no buttons to keep pressing to keep it on. The views are stunning... Show more

What’s Not To Like
This is an absolutely fantastic CL, looked after and cared for by John and Nicola. The access road is single track for around 500 metres but once on site all that is forgotten. Stunning views, peace and tranquility, red kites flying overhead and well laid out and manicured grass pitches.... Show more

Absolute stunner
It's all been said in previous reviews, but we had to review this lovely site. Stunning views, lovely hosts and oh so quiet. We will definitely be returning.

Peace and quite with beautiful views
This site has to be one of the best C.L. in the club. The pictures don't do justice to the wonderful views or to the the peace and quite. The field is gently sloping with a relatively flat strip where the caravans are sited. There is plenty of room for... Show more

A very pleasant surprise
Pencraig CL is in an elevated position giving all five pitches great views over the Welsh hills. A unisex toilet and separate shower are spotlessly clean and an information hut is well stocked with leaflets and a "library" of assorted books. Paths have been mown in adjacent fields to... Show more

A gem of a site. Fabulous views overlooking valley and beyond. Excellent very clean WC and shower. Friendly and helpful Robert & Nicola.
