CAMPING
A new venture launched in 2009. We now offer secluded camping pitches hidden amongst a mature tree and shrub garden, formerly the old Rose garden. An enclosed garden that provides a safe haven for young and old.
Or alternatively you can pitch down by the river, and enjoy the delights of wild river swimming. (Do bring a pair of old trainers to swim in). The River Usk is an S.A.C (a special area of conservation) and you might well have the opportunity to see an otter, kingfishers, salmon, wild Brown Trout, and a host of wonderful birds.
Fishing is available. Please refer to Activities.
The Tennis court is adjacent to the campsite. Please bring your own rackets and balls, and proper training shoes for court use.
We limit numbers to a max of 10 pitches at any one time.
We can cater for larger groups and can offer exclusive use of the site if booked well in advance. We can also erect the awning as cover for communal group use, for an extra fee.
We also have a Tipi that you can hire should you wish. Ready erected and furnished with the essentials. (Price on application).
There is a communal Fire pit area for gatherings, and each pitch has its own allotted fire pit.
Firewood is available to buy, along with home made charcoal. As is our home grown organic fruit and vegetables from our shop. (see Garden section).
Hot showers and WC's are located within the Stable block a short walk away from the camp site as well as washing up facilities and a water stand pipe.
We ask people to minimise their rubbish, a recycling rubbish deposit is provided on site. Dogs allowed only by prior arrangement
COST
Adults £7.50 per person per night
Children: £3.50
Access onto the site with cars is dependable on weather/ground conditions. A car park is provided close by should it be damp underfoot.

'Just a quick note to thank you for a splendid weekend of camping. All 9 of us were extremely impressed by the excellent venue and the wonderful setting for the campsite. Although it was our intent just to use the site as a staging post for our assault on the mountains, we all agreed that we must re-visit and explore further the area around Penpont. Having been 'camping' now for a couple of years, Penpont rates as the best site to date' - C.P. July 09
