  • Family-run touring park just off the A4067 at Pen-y-Cae
  • Henrhyd Falls 10 minutes' drive; half an hour to Pen y Fan
  • Well-maintained heated bathroom block on site; pub next to entrance
Taking some time to explore the attractions of the Brecon Beacons National Park? Bag a berth at Brecon Beacons Touring Park and you’ll be making your base at a family-run park that’s in an excellent Powys position for getting out and about to see the stunning scenery of the southern and western parts of the park. Just off the A4067 between the villages of Pen-y-Cae and Ynyswen, when you stay at this park you’ll be well placed for visits to the nearby waterfalls, climbs of Pen y Fan and trips underground at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales. There are heaps of hiking and bike trails around to follow as well – and if that's not enough to keep you busy, well, you can always set off for the seaside, as the beaches of the Gower Peninsula are less than an hour's drive away. This isn't a park with a long list of facilities, but what has been provided is well designed and well maintained – including the bathroom block, which has heating, a baby changing area and accessible facilities. There’s also a chemical disposal point and a washing-up area, and you’ll be allowed to bring along an off-ground barbecue to do your alfresco meals (although, in another handy location bonus, there also happens to be a food pub a couple of minutes’ walk away…)

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely location, 10 mins drive to the waterfalls (in a van) which is a great walk and explore.
Facilities were perfect.

Disliked Lots of groups of loud people. But that's to be expected over a bank holiday weekend. We had no major issues with this, but not a place for a 'quiet camp'

Victoria W.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely spacious pitches, quiet location with nearby river and waterfall walk which was very enjoyable.
Lady on site was very helpful and friendly.
Toilets and showers were never too busy.

Disliked Showers were occasionally lukewarm, this was more late evening but morning and early afternoon seemed to be ok.
There could be some cleaning equipment in the toilet/shower block so people could clean up after them selves.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Level pitches, helpful friendly staff, clean toilets and showers. Small shop 5 mins walk. Lovely cafe 'Lle Tawr' 10 mins walk.

Food at pub expensive but worth it. Fully recommend the chilli burger and fries.

Lovely walk (dog friendly) from campsite to Henrhyd waterfall (not buggy friendly) as there is some scrambling over fallen trees. Or just pop down to the river for dog paddle.

Disliked Would be nice if the lights on awning by pub were turned off overnight so you could appreciate the dark skies/stars clearer but that's just nitpicking.

Paul M.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Really calm and chilled place , situated 20 mins from all the waterfalls we loved it

Disliked The men's showers I couldn't get into as had no code sent but managed to get in when someone came out , really not a big problem but maybe the key card can open the women's and the mens , as who ever has the card will obviously choose the men's or women's ...

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Glad you loved campsite and area.
For information, I texted you the code for the gents toilets an hour before you were due to arrive on site.
The card key system for the men’s is not working hence the need for a code. Hopefully this will change to a better system by next season.

Local attractions

Hiking is a real highlight around here, whether you're keen to tick off the major sights or seek out quieter trails. Some of the popular spots nearby include Henrhyd Falls (10 minutes’ drive), the Four Waterfalls Walk (half an hour) and the trails taking you up South Wales’ tallest peak, Pen y Fan (half an hour). For more of an adrenaline rush, take yourselves to the all-weather trails of BikePark Wales (40 minutes) or ride the high-speed ziplines at Zip World Tower (20 minutes). All a bit too much? Settle for a quieter life with a visit to the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (five minutes), animal encounters at Wales Ape & Monkey Sanctuary (five minutes) or a tour and tipple at Penderyn Distillery (20 minutes). Change of scenery? Get down to the Gower Peninsula (around an hour) for beach days and coastal walks – places like Mumbles, Three Cliffs Bay and Rhossili are well worth the longer drive, and there are lots of lovely places to eat along the coast too.
