  • Simple and scenic farm site in the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • A 15-minute drive from Brecon and walks up Pen y Fan
  • Dog-friendly pitches with a minimum guest age of 14
Small, simple and surrounded by stunning scenery – that’s the setup at Pwllyn Farm Camping, part of a farm in the Brecon Beacons. This spot is full of rural atmosphere but it’s handy to note that it’s only a 15-minute drive to Brecon (a journey that runs along A roads all the way). Pitches at this peaceful Powys location are small in number, well spaced and designed to make the most of the setting: they’re mown around the edges of around 20 acres of hay and wildflower meadows, with lovely views over surrounding hills and fields towards Pen y Fan. Facilities on site include five toilets, two showers, two washing-up areas, a charging point for mobile phones, a communal fridge and freezer for your icepacks. A communal cooking area and eating area with stoves and utensils is also provided. There is a cassette toilet/black waste disposal point, and all taps on the farm provide drinking water. Rubbish and recycling can be placed in the large red bin by the campers' barn. Firepits are available to hire on site for a small charge, or you are welcome to bring your own as long as they are raised off the ground and do not scorch the grass. Getting out to see more of the gorgeous surroundings is easy from here: footpaths run directly from the farm onto Mynydd Illtyd Common or up onto the nearby hills for some stunning scenery. If you’re up for stretching your legs further, there are miles of footpaths and bridleways to wander along in the area. Dogs are welcome to stay at Pwllyn Farm as long as they’re accompanied by a responsible owner; the quiet atmosphere of the site also means that it’s only suitable for guests aged 14 and over.

What customers say

This peaceful campsite boasts stunning natural beauty and spectacular views. Visitors praise the spacious pitches, clean facilities, and the well-equipped communal barn, ideal for cooking and relaxing. The site's focus on nature, abundant wildlife, and quiet atmosphere are highlights. While generally excellent, a few guests noted occasional waits for the two showers during busy periods.

 Boof E. 5 reviews

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Been there a few times now, it is the best campsite that me and my partner have been to, and we've been a few.
It amazes us how tranquil and scenic it is and how Ian and his wife maintain it by themselves.
The only noise is from wildlife and the very odd vehicle in the distance.
You can wild camp or use the excellent facilities on site, which were as good as our first visit over 4 years ago.
There is everything you need and more.
Can't wait to see how the site progresses next year.

Disliked Only gripe is that some people still don't clean up after themselves, why not?
Ian and his wife do an excellent job and do not need to clean up after others.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely setting with amazing views of Pen y Fan, wild flowers in all the fields, pitches are nicely spaced out. All facilities were great, including the honesty shop. Good walks straight from the campsite. This was our second time at this campsite and I’m sure we’ll be back.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked The toilets and showers are clean and well-maintained, and the host is very friendly.

​As a camper, I loved the soft soil, which made it really easy to push my tent pegs deep into the ground. I set up my tent facing the mountains and the view was excellent. Everyone was very respectful, keeping a nice distance between tents.

The common barn area is a great touch, with stoves, kitchenware, and a fridge ready to use. Also, the check-out time isn’t too early, so there’s no need to rush to pack up in the morning.

Disliked The only downside is that during peak hours, you may have to wait a bit for the showers and the dishwashing sinks.

Local attractions

Being in the Brecon Beacons National Park, there are of course heaps of fabulous walking routes around. A good place to start for ideas is the visitor centre 20 minutes’ walk away, and it’s also possible to head straight out from the farm to locations like Fan Frynych mountain or Craig Cerrig-gleisiad nature reserve – both of which are about an hour and 15 minutes away on foot. Time your strolls to bring you to Mynydd Illtyd Common late in the day, as it’s often treated to some spectacular sunsets. Other popular hiking spots nearby include the fabulous Four Falls Walk (25 minutes’ drive) and Craig-y-Nos Country Park (20 minutes). You might also like to tackle a climb of Pen y Fan (15 minutes) or head to Llangorse Lake (20 minutes) for a day of watersports. For a break from all this activity, head to Brecon (15 minutes) for a tour of the cathedral and Regimental Museum of The Royal Welsh, go underground at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (20 minutes) or take a couple of drams of Welsh whisky on a tour of Penderyn Distillery (20 minutes).
