  • 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 offers a peaceful retreat with stunning views of the Brecon Beacons. Campers praise the spacious, un-marked pitches around wildflower meadows, the excellent and clean facilities, and the communal barn with cooking amenities and an honesty shop. The friendly, laid-back atmosphere and emphasis on nature are highly appreciated. While minor issues like occasional water pressure fluctuations or road noise were noted by a few, the overwhelming feedback highlights a beautiful, well-managed site ideal for exploring the surrounding countryside.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely, quirky set up, well looked after and a really nice vibe! Stunning views and good facilities. I was really happy with my stay- I felt safe and content: lovely flowers and little veg patch too. My favourite place so far for £12 per night- loved the honesty shop and has a communal area to cook and relax and a few washing up areas with all the stuff you would need! Even help yourself to a cuppa tea!

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked The scenery was stunning, the fields and facilities well kept and clean. Walks are various. The proprietor was friendly.
A camper barn provided shelter and possibilities to cook and eat, play games or even fill up ones provisions.

Disliked This was only temporary : road works made the accessibility a bit difficult.

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).
