  • Quiet dog-friendly site by the Four Waterfalls in the Brecon Beacons
  • A 20-minute drive to the base of Pen Y Fan; another waterfall nearby
  • Wood available to buy for firepits; shops and pubs a short drive away
Whether you’re hunting down the Four Waterfalls or taking the scenic drive to the base of Pen Y Fan, your break in the Brecon Beacons National Park will be off to a splendid start with a stay at Bryn Bwch. This quiet, dog-friendly site is a great base from which to go waterfall spotting, as it’s next to the Four Waterfalls and the Sgwd Yr Eira Waterfall is within walking distance too… and as you might expect from a site in the national park, there are stunning views from this place. Dogs and children are very welcome to use the site as their base, so simply set down with all the gang in the large, well-maintained field (which has some level sections and some with slight gradients or inclines) and park next to your tent. On the facilities front, there are four toilets and two showers to go around. For anyone who wants to light up their own firepit in the evening, wood can be purchased from the bungalow when you check in. Ready to take on South Wales’ biggest mountain? The car park for routes up Pen Y Fan is 20 minutes’ drive away. It’s a fair way up to the top, so to pick up any snacks for the climb, you might want to stop by in Glynneath first. A 10-minute drive away from the site, this town has shops for picking up supplies along with pubs to reward your climbing efforts. When you're looking for a pub slightly closer by, there's also one five minutes' drive away from the site.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its stunning location, offering beautiful views and easy access to the Four Waterfalls walk. Visitors highlight the friendly and relaxed atmosphere, with many appreciating the dog-friendly nature of the site and the ability to have campfires. Facilities are described as basic but clean and adequate, including warm showers and useful washing-up areas. While most experiences are positive, some mention the fields can be sloping and there are occasional issues with limited facilities during peak times, and noise from other campers.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked location fantastic, short walk each way to the falls. Site was mostly quiet and toilets/ shower clean each morning. pleasant owners and friendly.

Disliked 2 mini buses turning up early morning wednesday with duke of edinburgh teens, they were loud and didnt care they had just pulled into site next to number of vans with people still sleeping. adults in charge did nothing to keep them quiet and were as bad. Not sure if this is arrangement with site but if so a word should be had.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely campsite, we stayed in our motorhome with 3 kids and a dog and it was perfect! Has everything you need, washing up facilities which has its own washing up liquid, soap and sponges, fresh water source and toilets and showers! Really peaceful place to camp, right near the four water falls trail which is why we picked this campsite! Would highly recommended and would stay again.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Excellent campsite, that we would definitely return to.

Local attractions

Break into the Brecon Beacons however you please… taste the whisky from the copper-pot stills on a tour of Penderyn Distillery Visitor Centre (15 minutes' drive) perhaps? Grab a co-adventurer and strap yourselves in for a one or two-person zipwire ride from the tower of a former Colliery coal mining site at Zip World Tower (20 minutes)? Or board the Brecon Mountain Railway (40 minutes) and make your way into the mountains on the original mountain line? Mountain biking might make it onto your itinerary in these parts, as there are a couple of options within driving distance of the site. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a newbie or a pro at BikePark Wales (35 minutes), as there are lots of different forest trails. Dare Valley Country Park and Gravity Family Bike Park (35 minutes) is another good option for families, especially those who are new to the game. At this site, you’ll only be a short drive from the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (25 minutes). Here, kids are likely to love the lifesized dinosaurs and the caverns. Plus, there are lots of things to learn about the history of the dinosaurs and other cool parts of the past in the museum and Iron Age farm.
