Red Kite Touring Park: campsite review
A reader review of Red Kite Touring Park
Page contents
Introduction to Red Kite Touring Park
Checking in at Red Kite was not only friendly and welcoming, it was also useful. When I asked if there was any information on local walks, I was shown a folder packed with ideas.
After we had been guided to our pitch and had a brew, we sauntered back to reception to peruse the folder, finding descriptions and maps for walks varying from short strolls to long hikes.
With plenty of ideas about how to fill the next couple of days, we sat on our pitch looking over the green Welsh valley and watched the moon rise over the trees.

What the campsite has to offer
All the pitches on this adults-only site are hardstanding and have water as well as electric. They are arranged in terraces to maximise open views and you can sometimes choose your pitch when you book.
The campsite not only has a fantastic setting, the facilities are also top-notch. These include adjustable-temperature showers with large rainfall showerheads in spacious shower cubicles. The washing-up area has plenty of windows to continue enjoying the panoramas and there is no need to race back to your campervan because you have forgotten the washing-up liquid (or is this just me?) as even that is provided.
Things to do

The next day we took a picnic and hiked up the valley to Llyn Clywedog Reservoir and explored the fascinating history of the nearby disused lead mines. On our second day we walked into Llanidloes.
This attractive town has eateries to suit most tastes, as well as shops selling books, gifts and groceries. The town is proud of its distinctive timber-framed market hall and we learnt about its former wool and flannel industries.
The touring site at Red Kite is separated by a hillside strung with footpaths and ponds. This area is popular with campers taking strolls, with or without a dog.
For walking opportunities, superior facilities and open views, Red Kite Touring Park is hard to beat and I am sure we will return.
