About Castle Knights

Castle Knights is a peaceful camping and glamping site tucked away in the historic grounds of Usk Castle ruins, yet only a stones throw from Usk town centre.

Castle Knights is a small and secluded camp site in castle grounds in South Wales.

Set up by Tom Humphreys in 2012, Castle Knights aims to share love of the outdoors and a little piece of history with families, couples and friends.

Usk Castle itself has been in the Humphreys family for 100 years. So naturally Tom has listened to tales of knights and re-enacted battles with his siblings amongst the ruins.

Tom has worked to create a setting where others can enjoy being in the grounds as much as he did.
​
The site has a cosy woodland atmosphere, with no set pitches, and camping between the glamping cabins in the field to maintain the cosy woodland atmosphere. It is well equipped with a purpose built toilet and shower block designed and built by Tom himself.

Find your happy place in the authentic camping experience beside a fire or looking at the stars from the comfort of a cabin.

Although secluded and peaceful, the site is just a short walk to the local amenities of Usk town including shops, pubs, restaurants and the River Usk. It is also perfectly situated for trips out to the Wye Valley, Cardiff and the Brecon Beacons.

The campsite is open from April- September each year, though some glamping cabins may be available to book over the winter months on request.
​​
The site has hosted several family parties and group events- we are happy to help put you in touch with local activities and entertainment- the best bit is seeing people enjoy the place we love.
