WALES
Red Kite Touring Park, Powys
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. All the pitches on this adult-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 adjustabletemperature showers with large rainfall showerheads in spacious shower cubicles. The washing-up area has plenty of windowsno 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.
