  • 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 is a well-maintained, clean, and friendly campsite with stunning views, conveniently located within walking distance of Brecon. Guests praise the helpful staff, spacious pitches, and the excellent swimming pool and play area for children. While most facilities are described as immaculate, a few guests mentioned some toilets requiring attention and that pitches can be close together. Some minor points raised include the distance to toilet blocks from certain pitches and the need for hooks in shower cubicles. Electric bike usage is under review.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Super friendly and helpful with my late arrival, made to feel very welcome. The grass pitch I booked was in the edge of a lush wild flower meadow with stunning views of the Brecon Beacons and as if by magic, when I parked up, the rain stopped, the sunshine poured down instead with a gorgeous rainbow. Wish I had longer to enjoy the site :)

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked 🟣 super helpful owners - went above and beyond with help and advice on where to visit and lending extension cables for EHU
🟣 brilliant location and views
🟣 large pitches
🟣 swimming pool (which was warm)
🟣 toilet and shower block were nice and clean
🟣 burger restaurant next door is epic!

Disliked 🟣 only width of pitches marked so we ended up pitching too close to others behind us by accident
🟣 toilet/shower block a little way from far pitches (I like to be able to let the kids go to the toilet alone but I couldn’t see the toilet block from the pitch) - not a bad thing just for others to be aware of
🟣 some facilities beginning to look a little tired - not a problem for me - they were nice and clean!

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Amazing views
Great staff
Very clean
Not far to walk into brecon

Disliked Pub in site
Not open Sunday
And not open between 2 and 5pm

Children riding electrical bikes about 30mph down the field
I'm a police officer and you can tell speed they were travelling very unsafe.

From the manager: Hi Andrew,
Please note that the ‘pub on site’ is not connect to our camp site. The electrical bikes/scooters are currently under review. Hopefully see you again soon.

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Fantastic location with great views. Clean amenities and a 30min walk from Brecon town

Disliked We booked as two adults and a dog with no children our allocated pitch was right next to the play area. So not much peace and quiet over the weekend as the kids up we're up from 6am.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Ceri,
Thank you for leaving us review. We only have 6 electric grass pitches. We had a group of 4 grouped together. Then the 2 electric pitches together which you was on. If you booked a gravel pitch, we could pitch you on further away from play park. Hopefully see you both and your lovely dog again soon.
Regards
Bishops Meadow Holiday Park.

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).
