  • 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 campsite is praised for its excellent location in the Brecon Beacons, offering stunning views and convenient access to walks and Brecon town. Guests frequently highlight the friendly and helpful staff, the site's cleanliness, and the spacious pitches. The heated swimming pool is a popular amenity. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few mention the toilet block being a distance from some pitches and occasional issues with noise from other guests.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked I only had a quick one night stop over to play golf locally, but the couple who own the site were so friendly and accommodating, really made a new RV owner feel welcome and sure I could wing it on my own for the night. Good Luck with the Season, it's a great site, very well appointed with everything you could wish for available!

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Location under Pen y Fan. Clean.

Disliked We stayed on a summer weekend in an area of the campsite where there are a lot of seasonal pitches. The campsite doesn't accept bookings from groups but this is irrelevant when the seasonal pitches include groups who move from one pitch to another, socialising loudly, playing music and getting increasingly drunk. Never, on a campsite have I been surrounded by so many inebriated people without any sense of courtesy to other campsite users. Two call-outs to the warden had short-term effect but also lead to one angry and intimidating lady taking it upon herself to find out "who complained".

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Peaceful site
Pitches has a lot of space
Great location for walks around the area
Great views

Disliked The main block for showers, toilets and washing up for people camping was away from the camping field in the permanent caravan site. If we were camping with younger children this would have been more of a problem.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked We stayed for 2 nights in June in a touring motorhome pitch. From arrival, the site was clean, well-organised, and welcoming. The toilet and shower blocks were spotless and regularly maintained, with plenty of hot water.

Our pitch was level, spacious, and offered good privacy. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay,

Seasonals were friendly and made us welcome.

Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience and would definitely return. Highly recommended.

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).
