  • Family-orientated farm site in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons)
  • A 35-minute drive to Pen y Fan; 10 minutes to Pwll y Wrach waterfalls
  • Peaceful atmosphere and basic amenities near the village of Felindre
Newcourt Farm Campsite is a back-to-basics site in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. In a designated dark skies area, it's a great base for stargazing and just three miles away from the scenic river Wye, a lovely spot for exploring by canoe or kayak and taking a stroll along the banks. Hike the national park's highest mountain, Pen Y Fan, which is within 35 minutes' drive of the site or head to the Pwll y Wrach nature reserve (10 minutes' drive away) or Waterfall Country (an hour's drive) for waterfalls. The farm has clean showers, toilets and a washing-up area. Supervised school trips and groups such as Duke of Edinburgh Award seekers are welcome, but no late-night revellers please. The site is dog-friendly.

What customers say

This basic, spacious campsite offers stunning views and a peaceful, rural escape. Friendly and helpful owners are frequently praised. Facilities are generally described as adequate, though some visitors note them as dated and recommend bringing levelling chocks due to sloping pitches. Portable toilets have received negative feedback. Ideal for those seeking a no-frills experience.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Loved the location, the views were incredible. Owner was a lovely chap. Its really peaceful and a great place where kids can be kids and be wild and free, liked that we could choose where to pitch. The little reception desk isnt manned however has loads of useful information.

Disliked The toilets/shower could do with cleaning, (will note no foul odour was there). I will note as a parent travelling alone with kids it felt far more safe when it was fuller but thats not a site issue, though I believe a locked gate would help.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Quiet and scenic location
Lots of nice hedge birds

Disliked Portaloos we're effing gross. Two were out of action due to being clogged up, the others either had bowls caked with s*** or seats covered in p***. Not sure what liquid they're using but it's not the usual blue stuff that neutralises odours, but some browny green stuff that doesn't!
Pitches pretty much all on a slope, which would be gentle enough to level with chocks in a van, but not so convenient in a tent.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Great location for walks into the Black Mountains. There is direct access onto trails from the campsite. You can check in any time.

Disliked The campsite is advertised as having a toilet block,bBut this is mainly used by the DofE students and overcrowded. Although it was bank holiday weekend and the site may not typically be this busy. The portaloos in the main campsite were pretty foul, hand sanitiser dispensers were empty in some. They hadn't been cleaned in a while.

Sloping site with long grass.

Local attractions

Your boots will be made for walking: this corner of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park has footpaths and trails all around to warm you up before tackling the hill walks and mountains, and all in a spectacular part of Wales made up of valleys, waterfalls, caves and open countryside. There are a couple of walks direct from Newcourt and two long-distance trails cross through the farm: the Offa’s Dyke Path on the eastern border of the national park and the Taff Trail running south from Brecon. The Brecon Beacons Park Society has a full programme of guided walks in the park from moderate to strenuous, and there are lots of routes and maps available from the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority (or just ask Newcourt Farm owner David to point you in the right direction). The national park’s also where you can get your fill of climbing, birdwatching, caving, canoeing, sailing and other outdoor options; a visitor centre six miles from Brecon has all the info you might need as well as courses and events like pottery workshops and navigation training. Also around are several Sustrans routes for cyclists as well cycle hire and cycle tour guide companies; mountain bikers have five mountain bike centres and 14 trails from yellow (level one) to ‘killer black’ (bring plasters). Wheels on tour can cycle the Lôn Las Cymru, the route from Cardiff to Holyhead via Brecon (use route 42). After all that, you hereby have permission to curl up with a book: buy your tomes at the town of books, Hay-on-Wye, about half an hour from Brecon.
