  • 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 built in 2019 has disabled facilities, showers, underfloor heating, toiletries, towels and hairdryers; other amenities include waste disposal areas, dog and bike-washing points, and wifi.

What customers say

This is a highly recommended, peaceful and well-maintained site in a stunning location, offering excellent access to river and canal walks, including a picturesque route to Crickhowell. Visitors praise the clean, modern facilities, spacious pitches, and helpful, friendly staff. While generally excellent, a few minor drawbacks were noted, such as the small size of shower cubicles and the lack of a communal freezer. Overall, a tranquil retreat ideal for nature lovers and dog owners.

Helen E.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked We loved the site as there were not too many pitches so not overcrowded and the pitch was a great size so you weren’t on top of your neighbours.There was a sauna on site which would have been a wonderful treat if I had remembered by costume. There is a lovely large communal fire pit which was used the one night and looked great. It was peaceful and the surroundings and nature walks close by were beautiful, within walking distance ( 2 miles ) of Crickhowell town, along the side of the river. Facilities were spotless and were never too busy. The staff kept in touch by txt before our arrival giving us all the information even though we had received an email, and were available throughout our stay. Will most definitely visit again.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Very clean, very quiet site with good facililties

Disliked Difficult to find, but that may be down to the fact that we were very tired heading there. Perhaps they could use What3Words to take guests to the entrance gate off the B-road.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Die Stellplätze waren sehr groß und eben, wir mochten die längere Einfahrt durch die Felder sehr. Alles ist sehr naturnah und direkt am Platz gibt es viele Möglichkeiten, mit dem Hund zu gehen.
Wir Eltern haben die Ruhe und Einfachheit sehr genossen und wären noch länger geblieben aber der jüngste wollte gerne noch andere Orte bereisen :)

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.
