WELCOME TO PANPWNTON

A family run farm campsite situated on the Offa’s Dyke footpath. Located in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we are ideally located for those who like to walk, cycle or just take in the peaceful countryside. With magical nights under the stars listening to the owls hooting in the oak woods. It’s the perfect place for your rural camping holiday!

A ten minute walk into the market town of Knighton, with its iconic clock tower, friendly pubs and cafes, and the Offa’s Dyke Centre. The River Teme runs through the farm where you can dip your feet after a long day exploring, or freshen up in our modern facilities. The heart of wales train line also runs through the farm with the Station only half a mile walk away.

OUR CAMPSITE

All pitches are non-electric grass pitches that are suitable for tents, campervans and caravans. Supported by two overflow fields if the site is particularly busy or you want a quiet spot. We also welcome groups and schools which can have sole occupancy of a certain field.

We have recently refurbished our toilet & shower block on the main campsite that is open 24/7. In addition there is a shared kitchen space that includes; a shared fridge, freezer, kettle & microwave, washing up stations, drinking water points and recycling facilities.

At Panpwton campsite we also permit raised fires and campfires, with logs for sale that can be pre-purchased or bought on arrival.

BELL TENTS & BACKPACKERS BARN

Do you want to travel light and leave the campervan or tent at home? Then why not take a look at our Canvas Bell Tents or our Backpackers Barn.

Our Bell Tents are perfect for a romantic getaway in a private section of our grounds. Whilst our Backpackers Barn provide the convenience of no setup and a roof over your head for a more practical stay if you are arriving late to our site.

PANPWNTON REVIEWS

Such peaceful surroundings – the natural beauty of the site is off the charts. It was very quiet as well, with good pubs and walks available without using a car. The site owners were flexible. Facilities were basic but functional and reasonably clean. Pitches are flat and spacious, with nice quality ground – pegs go in easily. There are picnic tables available for use.

Beautiful and convenient location at the beginning of the trans-Cambrian trail. Roxy was super helpful allowing me to pay a small extra towards leaving my van there while I cycled the trail, keeping it safe over five days.

Henry (Via PitchUp)

Lovely location, 10/15 minute walk into Knighton, pubs a plenty. Toilet block very pleasant & kept nice and clean. Train track does run right alongside the site, but it’s only a single line & a handful of trains each day. Currently only one shower, but it’s a small site so not a huge issue. New shower block being constructed alongside the already opened new toilet block.

Richard (Via PitchUp)

Great campsite. Had a lovely time. Lots of room but wasn’t busy so we could pick anywhere to go. Had fridge, kettle and charging facilities which was fantastic. Area to wash cutlery too. Toilets, showers area were fine but could be limited if realy busy but they were being done up at time. Great location for nice walk to knighton shops and pubs. Also Offa’s dyke path walk up to hills was fantastic. Great views. Would definitely stay again.

Matthew P (Via PitchUp)

Fabulous peaceful location only 10 min walk to the town of Knighton. Friendly, helpful staff, well manicured camping field, lovely clean facilities (new showers nearly finished). Plentiful wildlife, as it’s a working farm, the sheep are herded across the camping field, a superb thing to experience. Various good walks and hikes from the site itself. We will be back!

Marc S (Via PitchUp)

Rural location, easy riverside walk into Knighton for shops, pubs, chippy. Friendly and efficient owners. Smooth well trimmed grass and easy to insert pegs. Facilities are basic but clean and functional. Unexpected nice touches were the 2 kitchen areas with kettle, toaster, microwave, fridge and the picnic tables dotted around the site.

Peter L (Via PitchUp)

Welcoming owners. The facilities were clean and a perfect campsite next to Offa’s Dyke, River Teme and Knighton only less than a mile away. Working sheep farm with natural unmowed areas. At my pitch:- the thistles were in bloom with many bees, on a migration path every 5 minutes for the Meadow Brown bufferfly and 6 swallow youngsters were getting ready to fly abroad. Perfect pastoral scene.

Anonymous (Via PitchUp)

Very enjoyable. Peaceful, relaxing site. Amenities are good, electric kettle in the rest room. Easy to find, very nice hosts. Red kites flying around. Lovely walk into Knighton with great pubs, cafes and fish and chip shop. Great for site seeing southern Shropshire and mid Wales. Highly recommend.
