  • Friendly site on the edge of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park
  • A mile from Brecon town centre; 15 minutes' drive to Pen y Fan
  • Heated outdoor pool and sports field on site; restaurant next door
Just on the edge of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, you’ll be in a splendid spot to explore when you stay at Bishops Meadow Holiday Park. This mid-sized Powys park is in a very handy location just over a mile from Brecon, so you’ll be able to walk into town in around 25 minutes, get the bus from the stop just outside or drive down there in just a few minutes. Taxis are also available for a fairly affordable rate if you fancy having a nice meal out or a few drinks in one of the town’s cosy pubs. That said, you won’t have to go all the way into town if you don’t fancy it, as this site just happens to be next door to one of the area’s most popular restaurants, specialising in big tasty burgers. Rather cook your own meals? You’re welcome to bring a barbecue along and pick up supplies at the shops in town; there are also various essentials for sale at the site’s shop (including ice creams for a sweet treat). This is a place that prides itself on its friendly atmosphere, with the staff doing their best to ‘make sure guests are having the nicest time possible’. Helping to contribute to that are the site’s facilities, which include a heated outdoor pool (open from mid-May to September), a play area, a dog-walking path and a field with football and rugby goalposts for those who’d like to get a game going. You’ll also have access to useful things like a launderette, a chemical disposal point, toilets and showers.

What customers say

This well-maintained campsite boasts friendly, helpful staff and offers beautiful views. Facilities, including the shower block and swimming pool, are consistently praised for cleanliness. Pitches are generally spacious, though some reviews mention unevenness. Located a short walk from Brecon, the site is popular with families and dog owners. A burger restaurant is adjacent.

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked This was a lovely campsite. Was greeted by a lovely lady when checking in and was even shown to our pitch by a lovely gentlemen. Was everything we needed facilities wise and toilets / showers were a good standard! Even had a swimming pool which my 11 year old daughter loved! Nice little shop as well which we only used when my husband got bit by a spider and I went and got an ice lolly to help with the sting! The staff couldn’t have been more helpful as the shop was actually closed and they opened it up for us and even asked if we would like them to go to their van to get ice instead of spending money! We will definitely be returning!

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked We had a lovely welcome from lovely staff. All facilities were good and clean. Loved the pool. Much needed this Summer!

We used the bus service outside the campsite to get into Breacon town and Pen-y-fan. The views from the pitch are awesome.

We loved the site and the whole area.

Disliked Maybe a toilet block and washing facilities on the camp field as had to walk through the caravan site to get to those facilities.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked I just really enjoyed my stay. Lots of wildlife and close to the hiking trails. Absolutely adored watching red kites surfing the sky above the campsite. Spacious field to pitch up your tent. Everyone there seemed very nice. The staff was helpful when needed.

Local attractions

Brecon is a fairly small town, but it’s got plenty for the visitor – you may like to pay a visit to the cathedral, see the Royal Welsh Regimental Museum or explore the handful of art galleries here. There are also some lovely walks from town along the banks of the River Usk or the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, and shows and concerts at Theatr Brycheiniog. The area around the town is packed with outdoor activities, including fishing, horse riding, mountain biking and watersports; the best way to find out about all of these is to ask site staff or consult the information folder in the office. Of course the national park has walks galore too, including the popular Four Waterfalls Walk (half an hour’s drive away) and the ascent of Pen y Fan (15 minutes). Other outings nearby might take you to an alpaca walk with Alpaca My Boots (15 minutes), a trip underground at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (half an hour) or to learn about the past at Big Pit National Coal Museum (45 minutes).
