About Forest Garden Camp Spot

Just twenty minutes from Cardiff city centre, this one-acre permaculture forest garden offers an unexpectedly green retreat for cycle tourers and walkers who want both urban access and a wilder camping vibe. Hosts Michele and Chris have cultivated the site for 25 years, creating a wildlife haven complete with chickens, ducks and year-round fresh produce. Pitch your own tent, book the rustic caravan for two, or upgrade to a pre-pitched bell tent with bedding. There's a wood-burning BBQ and garden marquee, plus indoor facilities with shower and phone charging.

The setting is honest: screened from the road but bordered by railway and traffic, so expect some noise. What you gain is genuine convenience—Eastbrook station is a ten-minute walk, cycle routes run nearby, and Cardiff Bay, forests and lakes are all within easy reach. The hosts offer optional Welsh breakfasts and guided cycle tours along hidden car-free trails, plus on-site bike repairs. No dogs, due to resident poultry and a friendly cat.

Lovely scenery whether driving, cycling or walking. There is a 7 mile forest drive and multiple cycle trails of varying levels. Climbing to Twmbarlam provides stunning views.

We were looking for a forest location with plenty of dog walks. We stayed for one night in our campervan. The hardstanding electric pitches were generous size. Close to facilities block if required but we were self contained. We did take a look and they were spotlessly clean. The site has a coded gate and was very quiet and peaceful. The location of the site was outstanding. If you want incredible scenery, plenty of walks or are a keen mountain biker you couldn’t ask for more. Plenty of play areas nearby for kids, crystal clear water, cafe, plenty of bins on route. We look forward to returning and experience it again the summer. It would have been perfect if the forest drive was included for those camping.

Lovely little campsite. Very clean, has a kitchen with kettle, 2 sinks, microwave, 2 hobs and a freezer. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Great site right by the visitors Centre. Perfect for MTB and walking. Good bike shop/workshop within walking distance. Would give it 5* but no phone signal at the campsite...not always a bad thing, but frustrating if you are planning your trip on the fly and an up-to-date weather forecast is handy in Wales 😂 You can get signal in the visitors Centre car park a short walk away...
