The Wye Valley Walk runs through Racquety Farm and the Offas Dyke trail is adjacent. We have Field Camping pitches with a lovely view of Hay-on-Wye, a 5-10 mins stroll away.

We do not take caravans or motorhomes.
During Summer we are suitable for tents, modest camper vans such as V.W. campers or similar-sized camping vehicles.

There is no charge for dogs – dogs must be kept on a lead or tethered at all times. Please pick up and dispose of dog poo responsibly (a bin is provided for bagged dog poo).

Racquety Farm Camping is ideal for:

• Family pitches

• Mains water points throughout the site

• Braziers for open fires and cooking on most pitches (During Hay Festival we are unable to supply all pitches with a fire pit we therefore supply them upon application for a modest charge) PLEASE READ the advice for camp fires here.

• Firewood for sale from Ros and Geoff between the hours of 4 and 6pm: to pre-book so it’s ready for your arrival, text or email Ros on 07966420822 or Geoff 07848040430 or email geoff@geodomes.com stating your pitch number.

• The River Wye: The banks at Racquety Farm are not available for dog walking, picnicing or swimming - they are managed for wildlife conservation and for this reason we do not allow recreational access to the river bank at all. Please do not access the river bank at Racquety Farm.

• NO SWIMMING AVAILABLE FROM RACQUETY FARM BANKS, therefore we respectfully ask that you do not do so.

  If a sign sign says NO ENTRY or PRIVATE it says so for a good reason. Please take note of signs and comply with their instructions.
