  • 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…)

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Toilets and shower very clean and new looking. Quiet pitch, amazing location, with pub in front. What's not to like?

Disliked: Gravel pitch not quite flat so had to keep putting ramps out every time we came back.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Location, ease of check-in/out, on-site facilities. Lovely neighbours, great off-site local amenities. Lovely pubs, walks & coffee shop within easy walking distance. A quiet and pleasant location but not too far to drive to the ‘outside world’. We enjoyed.

Disliked: Nothing.

From the manager: Thanks for your lovely review. So glad your first outing was enjoyable. Hopefully see you again soon.

We will definitely go there again

Disliked: Very long way to EHU for some pitches, make sure you have a long cable
Female showers were cold - not the same issue in the mens

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review. Sorry if you had a cold shower. The male and female showers are on the same heating circuit so I don’t understand how one was hot and the other cold.
All our electric points are within 25 meters of the sockets. If on your return, you leave me know you have a shorter cable, I can put you on a pitch nearer to the sockets.

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.
