Wales

Discover Wales with a Roller Team Motorhome

Real motorhome adventures, campsite recommendations, photographs, videos and practical touring notes from our own journeys across Wales.

Wales and Motorhoming

A country that rewards slower touring

Wales suits the way we like to travel. We stayed in places where the scenery changed by the hour, where a short drive led to reservoirs, forests, beaches and market towns, and where campsite views became part of the trip itself.

It is not always the easiest drive. The road in was tight on more than one stop, some routes need a bit of planning, and weather can change quickly. But that is exactly why it feels memorable. The reward is a touring destination full of personal moments, peaceful pitches and genuinely dog-friendly days out.

Motorhome Challenge

Narrow approach roads, changing weather and route planning all matter here.

Why We Love Wales

Big scenery, peaceful campsites and short scenic drives that feel adventurous without rushing.

Dog Friendly

Mia loved this walk is something we found ourselves saying again and again in Wales.

Our Tip

Allow extra time between stops. The best parts of Wales are often the unplanned pauses.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…

A peaceful Mid Wales base with big views

We stayed here because we wanted a quieter Wales stop with space to breathe, good dog walks and easy access to scenic drives. The view from our pitch was the kind that changes with the light, and it made even a simple morning coffee feel like part of the trip.

The road in was tight in places, so this is somewhere to arrive unhurried. Once settled, though, Llanidloes felt like a brilliant base for reservoirs, countryside drives and a day out to Devil’s Bridge.

Would we go again? Yes, without hesitation.

Scenic Beauty

Reservoir views, rolling hills and quiet roads that suit a relaxed touring pace.

History

Market town character and easy access to classic Welsh heritage stops nearby.
