Elan Oaks
Elan Oaks
Elan Oaks is a five-star, family-owned camping and caravan site set at the foot of the Elan Valley in Powys, Mid Wales, with direct riverside access along the Afon Elan.
The site accommodates tents, campervans, and motorhomes across a range of pitches — from simple riverside grass camping to fully serviced hardstanding — and a modern facilities block includes showers, laundry, a washing-up area, and a small shop.
The surrounding landscape makes it a strong base for walking, cycling, fishing, birdwatching, and stargazing. A cycle path runs directly alongside the site, and the market town of Rhayader — known as the Gateway to the Elan Valley — lies close by.
The site was established by the Walton family to honour their late father, who grew up in the valley while his own father worked on the construction of the Claerwen dam.
