General
- Farm site with stunning 360-degree views of the Black Mountain
- A five-minute drive from the National Showcaves Centre for Wales
- On the Beacons Way trail in the Brecon Beacons National Park
Room to breathe and a friendly welcome – what more could you ask for from a scenic site like Eco Camping Wales in the Brecon Beacons’ gorgeous Glyntawe valley?
Well, 360-degree views of the spectacular Black Mountain for starters. The environmentally friendly modus operandi is another big bonus – the site channels cold mountain spring water into its hand-washing basins, for example (not for drinking) – as is the back-to-nature feel (there are no concrete hardstandings or electric hook-ups here, ta).
This Glamorgan site encourages open-fire cooking across most of the grounds (on the firepits or while using your own raised reusable barbecues) and phone reception is limited – so you can gleefully tell work they won’t be able to get in touch.
Try to get as much time out of the office as you can to take on all the nearby treks; the owners particularly recommend roaming to Llyn y Fan Fawr lake (an hour) on the long-distance Beacons Way trail that passes the park. Wander to one of the pubs a few minutes from the site too or grab grub from Ystradgynlais’s coffee shops and ingredients from its award-winning butcher (15 minutes).
A few bits and pieces to be aware of if you’re planning on staying here: the showers are coin operated; firewood/kindling is for sale on site; and there’s no commercial waste so please be prepared to take all rubbish home and leave the space as you find it.

Local attractions
It would be difficult to land on a better location for stints in south Wales than this one: set in the Brecon Beacons National Park, it’s a five-minute drive from the National Showcaves Centre for Wales and its scenic surrounds.
Head to Henrhyd Falls (15 minutes) to walk behind the wall of water; you might recognise this spot from several films, including Batman. The Wales Ape & Monkey Sanctuary is nearby as well, so drop in to see the primates before meeting the meerkats at Pen-y-Cae’s microzoo (five minutes).
Wanting more waterfalls? There are three to see while wending your way along a walking loop near Pontneddfechan (15 minutes), a popular part of the national park for pottering about.
Fan of fishing? Get the rod out at the River Tawe or by the Crai Reservoir (10 minutes). You could also angle down by the sea at the Gower’s gorgeous beaches near Swansea (an hour).
