  • Welcoming wild camping site in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park
  • Two miles to a trail up Pen y Fan; Four Waterfalls a half-hour drive
  • Meadow pitches with on-site walks; home-cooked meals on Friday night
Ca’s Camping is in pole position for anyone keen to get out and about in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (formerly the Brecon Beacons). Situated on the edge of the mountains, with glorious views right from your tent, this is wild camping in a peaceful, flat meadow on an organic farm with dairy cows, free-range hens and ponies. The dogs get to come on your Welsh adventure too (on leads please), and you can exercise them in the designated 2.5-acre meadow adjoining the camping field, which has a stream running through the middle for family splashings around. A 10-minute walk in woodland takes you to waterfalls on a tributary of the Tarrell River. Pick up barbecue supplies from handy supermarkets in Brecon (10 minutes’ drive, check out the historic cathedral too), where there are also masses of pubs, fish and chip shops and takeaways for those nights when no-one wants to cook. If you’re staying on a Friday night, eat on site at Ca’s Citchen, when the owner cooks a tasty farmhouse supper (with dessert) made from locally sourced produce. Eat outside under the pergola or take your food back to your pitch. On Saturday evenings, weather permitting, guests can also join Ca for a food experience in the woodland near waterfalls. Simple site facilities include a toilet and shower block (installed for the 2025 season), a washing-up area and rubbish recycling points. An added bonus is the standpipes providing drinking water straight from a spring in the mountains.

What customers say

This spacious, well-maintained campsite offers stunning views of the Brecon hills. Guests consistently praise the friendly and helpful owners, the relaxed atmosphere, and the freedom to choose their own pitch. Facilities, while basic, are generally reported as clean, with hot showers and good water pressure. Campfires are permitted, and fire pits are available for hire. Its proximity to Brecon and Pen y Fan makes it an ideal base for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts. Some guests noted that facilities can become busy during peak times, and occasionally mention the basic nature of the composting toilets.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Ca works very hard and it shows, this site has the basics but done very well and is in a beautiful location.

Disliked Some idiots who took advantage of the laid back approach and decided to hold a tiny and very noisy rave around their campfire until 2am.

Tom W.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Well maintained grounds. Easy to find location. Perfectly situated with surrounding hikes and walks. Pubs and shops minutes away if you need anything.

Disliked Toilets and showers were an added bonus! However with the amount of people staying, these quickly became dirty and not very nice to use.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Amazing location in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons. Friendly staff, fire pits to hire, food cooked in the onsite kitchen by the owner Friday and Saturday (didn't try but smelled good). Short 2 minute drive to Brecon town with lots of amenities. 15 mins to Pen y Fan which is an amazing family friendly hike with amazing views. Definitely going back here.

Disliked Facilities are basic (no electric hook ups), limited showers and covered wash up area. With only two showers for the whole site it was quite tricky getting a shower. Obviously with the limited sized facilities, footfall meant they got messy quickly.

Local attractions

The site is actually in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, so lots of hiking and cycling will probably be on the cards. You can start on the trail up Pen y Fan (two miles’ walk from site) for spectacular views over mountain ridges to the horizon. Another classic local yomp leads up to the Four Waterfalls (half an hour’s drive); get more outdoor inspiration from the National Park Visitor Centre (15 minutes). When something less hardcore is required, pedal or stroll along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal (10 minutes); otherwise there’s a golf course within five minutes’ drive and an indoor pool at Brecon Leisure Centre (10 minutes) – a handy diversion for any rainy days. Younger kids will doubtless love meeting all the cuddly animals at Cantref Adventure Farm, while teens can hone their off-roading skills at BattleMX (both 15 minutes). The National Showcaves Centre for Wales (25 minutes) is another great option for family days out, with its subterranean tours, dinosaur walks and recreated Iron Age village.
