  • 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

Pwllyn Farm Camping offers a peaceful retreat with stunning Brecon Beacons views. Reviewers praise the spacious, well-maintained pitches, clean facilities including showers and toilets, and the communal barn with cooking amenities. The honesty shop is a popular addition. While most visitors found the site quiet and private, some experienced occasional noise from neighbours or traffic. A few guests noted a wait for showers during peak times, and some suggested improvements to facilities. The site is highly recommended for its location, natural beauty, and friendly hosts.

Liked So unique. Wonderful spacious site with spectacular views. Ian and Therese very welcoming and friendly. The barn had everything you needed to ensure your stay was enjoyable, with plans for future enhancements. No huge list of do’s and don’ts, just use common sense and care.
Would love to return one day.

Disliked Nothing

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Worth the price just for the spectacular views and peaceful environment.
Owners great and on hand it you want anything.
Everything on site with well equipped campers barn for cooking and relaxing etc so no need to move MH once pitched.
Found it helpful to have maps and info available for nearby walks.
Huge wild meadow fields to pitch up on with fire pits dotted around.
Just sitting in the meadow surrounded by wild flowers admiring a fabulous view with Red Kites soaring above was perfect.

Disliked Not a dislike just a personal niggle. With such an expanse of meadows to chose from and campers dotted around various fields with lots of space between them why did 2 largish tents pitch up quite close to us. Their late night chat late did spoil the peace a bit for us.

From the manager: Hi Sue, many thanks for your lovely review and I am glad you enjoyed your stay. I would only say to you (and anyone else reading this review) please come and tell us if your neighbours are being too loud - I have no problem at all in coming out and asking people to keep the noise down, and am happy to do that at any time. With regards to the pitching close, I know it's annoying and frustrating if that happens when there is so much space. Most people are sensible and respectful about choosing where to set up and I'm sorry that wasn't your experience with your neighbours. Theresa.

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).
