  • Peaceful flat field on a working farm; views of the Mynydd Mallaen
  • A 10-minute drive from the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • Secure bike storage on site; pubs within 10 minutes' drive
Calon y Cwm is a peaceful site set on the edge of the small Carmarthenshire village of Cilycwm. Located on a 100-acre working farm overlooking the Mynydd Mallaen plateau and next to the Gwenlais river, this spot would be well-suited to those looking for adventures in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, the edge of which is a quick 10-minute drive away. Calon y Cwm has facilities like fresh running water, brown water disposal and portable toilets. Handily for cyclists, Calon y Cwm also has secure bike storage and drying available, and the Cwm Rhaeadr mountain bike track is around five minutes' drive away if you're looking for a trail that's easy to get to. Barbecues are allowed here, and you're an easy 10-minute drive from the small town of Llandovery where you can stock up on supplies. The town has a number of other handy amenities, including a railway station, cafés, more pubs and the ruins of a medieval castle. Outside of Llandovery, there are a couple of other local pubs within 10 minutes' drive of the site.

Liked Exactly what we had hoped for, and more ! Great facility, everything you can hope for when camping. Sink with running water, a place to shower (with shampoo and body wash) toilets, sockets, microwave, fridge & kettle. The host was so lovely and welcoming, would stay again.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Nice location and flat field even though it was not the original field due to the weather.
Walks and biking nearby.

Disliked Avoid visiting during Bank Holidays, as Bunty typically has family gatherings, which, while enjoyable for them, can make the place more crowded than necessary. The facilities are basic and may feel a bit too laid-back.
