  • Peaceful site on a private estate with listed buildings
  • A 10-minute drive to Crickhowell and 35 minutes to Hay-on-Wye
  • Five-mile stretch of the River Usk for salmon and trout fishing
A peaceful Powys stay, with stunning surroundings and stacks of space? Make your way to Glanusk Caravan Park, where relaxing stays can be had in the historic grounds of Glanusk Estate, one of Wales’ largest privately owned estates. It's also rather gorgeous, with a fine collection of features like walled gardens and Celtic standing stones to wander around, and listed buildings including the splendid turreted Tower Bridge over the River Usk. And it’s not just the views right there on site that are pretty special – the estate is surrounded by the epic scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park, and has spectacular views up to the Black Mountains too. Country pursuits like cycling, pony trekking and canoeing can all be had nearby, and there’s easy access to these and other outings via the nearby A40 and B4558. Spending time on site is an equally fine prospect however – and that goes for dogs too, who are most welcome to join you here. Fishing for trout and salmon is available on the five-mile private stretch of the River Usk. Ask on site about local ambles too – one member of the team is a Brecon Beacons Ambassador and has lots more suggestions up their sleeves. For a short stroll, head towards the award-winning high street in the town of Crickhowell (40 minutes away on foot) to source provisions from the butcher's shop, bakery and restaurants or browse boutiques for antiques, clothes, gifts and books. Too far? Stay on site and order a luxury hamper packed with locally produced goodies – let the team here know in advance and they'll sort out delivery to your pitch. Back at the park, an amenity building has disabled facilities, showers, underfloor heating, toiletries and hairdryers; other amenities include waste disposal areas, dog and bike-washing points, and wifi.

What customers say

This is a quiet, peaceful site on a beautiful estate, ideal for walks along the river and canal. Pitches are spacious and level, with exceptionally clean and modern facilities, including a popular sauna. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. Some guests found shower cubicles small and noted poor WiFi signal. Overall, it's a highly recommended site for a relaxing break.

 Russell S. 1 review

Electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked If you want a quiet breakaway, this is it. 26 pitches, with a forest on one side, fields on the others, with skittish grouse and hyperactive squirrels for company. The dark is absolute, with just a single light above the door to the perfectly-maintained service block for guidance. Be well stocked, as civilisation is a few miles away. Didn't get to see the Milky Way, but way more stars than you'd see in the city. I'd definitely stay again.

Disliked Maybe a water point nearer the pitches, but not a deal-breaker.

Liked Been staying at Glan Usk for many years and before now has always been a 9 star but it has gone down hill since being on pitch up.

Disliked Toilet seats were broken and have been for 12 months,showers are full of mould and the people using the sauna are running in and out of the toilet block,it really has gone down hill in the last 2 years.

Electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked The location was perfect, the estate is lovely, and a nice walk to a local pub across the estate, friendly staff and good communication. Nice to have an open field where we could exercise the dog and easy access to the canal for local walks. nice sized pitches. nice extra having a sauna available for people to use.

Disliked The shower block could do with modernising some mould in corners and some plastic coming away in the disabled/family shower room and I wasn't overly keen on communal changing area but that's a personal preference, shower cubicles were a bit small. And not really a suitable area to shower our little one as there was a chair in the way, so maybe could do with a larger shower cubicle for families.

Route directions

Access to Glanusk Caravan Park is via the gates on the B4558 (Cwm Crawnon Road) as there is no access to the site from the A40. If you are approaching from the Brecon direction on the A40, do not turn right at Bwlch towards Llangynidr to access the site, as this will take you to a very narrow and impassable bridge. Instead, carry on past the main gates of the site, then turn right by the petrol station and head over the Crickhowell Bridge before turning right onto the B4558 (Cwm Crawnon Road).

Local attractions

Glanusk Caravan Park is within an International Dark Sky Reserve, the first International Dark Sky Reserve in Wales, so plan a bit of time to turn your eyes skywards after dusk – on a clear night you're bound to be treated to quite the display. For a taste of local history, take a trip to Blaenavon (25 minutes' drive), a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000 that's home to the Big Pit National Coal Museum, Blaenavon Ironworks, the World Heritage Centre and Blaenavon Heritage Railway. In Pantyscallog (half an hour), the Brecon Mountain Railway tells another historic story as it makes its way along the full length of Pontsticill Reservoir. For pubs, cafés and a small town with an award-winning high street, Crickhowell is within walking or cycling distance and hosts a walking festival, literary festival and numerous other events throughout the year. For more urban exploring, it's eight miles to Abergavenny, 12 miles to Brecon, 14 miles to Talgarth and 20 miles to Hay-on-Wye.
