Lower Porthamel Camping

Syntes om We loved the location of the camp site (15 minutes drive from Hay On Wye, and easy access to the rest of the Brecon Beacons). Each plot felt very secluded amongst the apple trees, with plenty of room for our 6 man tent, and a little table and chairs set up around the fire pit provided by the site.

I’d recommend camping whilst the taproom is open on Friday and Saturday. The ciders and beers on offer were incredible, and the charcuterie boards went down a treat. Shower toilet and wash up facilities were great, and while we did not use it, the covered area with the fridge, freezer, and charging ports was used by many of the other campers and seemed to be a good space.

The owners were very helpful throughout our stay. We enjoyed our stay so much we stayed an additional night and will definitely be returning.

Syntes om Lovely quiet camping spot. The pitches are well spread between the apple trees and the site is so pretty. The camp was full but it was so peaceful. There's a bar on site with apple juice made at the farm and lagers etc. We had a few and went back to our pitch for a bbq. Its set in just the right place, not far from shops and a 15/20 minute drive to Brecon town if you wanted to venture out.
There are toilets, showers,communal fridges, a pizza oven and charging outlets to use. Perfect mix between beautiful outdoor camping and having the essentials on hand to make your stay easy and comfortable.
The host was lovely and the whole place has a relaxed easy going vibe.
I was a bit worried about trekking from the car park to the pitch with all of our stuff but im glad we couldn't have cars in the orchard as it would have spoilt it. There are wheelbarrows for you to bring everything from the carpark over and its a minutes walk anyway. I cant wait to come back again.

Syntes om Lovely setting in the orchard. It really felt quite unique and part of a working farm too. The cider and cheese board provided by our host Adrian was just great. Thanks for a lovely time for Dad and Daughter.

Syntes om The solitude of the site. The staff were very friendly & helpful. The toilet facilities were clean & adequate for our needs. The free use of the barbeque & the firepits were great.

Syntes ikke om Clearer directions to the camp site & information about where to pitch for late arrivals would be useful. Access to food preparation area would also have been useful.

Syntes om After a long and tiring day hiking in the Brecon Beacons, Lower Porthamel Camping was the perfect place to rest for the night. The site is peaceful, quiet, and felt very safe—just what I needed after a full day outdoors.

All the essential facilities were available, including clean shower rooms, and secure parking. One thing that really stood out was how clean the entire campsite was. Visitors are expected to manage their own rubbish, which encourages everyone to keep the space tidy and respectful—something I really appreciated.

Overall, it’s a well-maintained, no-fuss campsite that I’d definitely recommend to anyone exploring the area.

Syntes om Beautiful location amongst the apple trees, with basic, but clean and well maintained, facilities. Loved the tap room, serving artisinal ciders and beers made at the farm. Also the cheese and charcuterie boards served in the tap room are fantastic.
Fire pits, logs and kindling are available to allow you to finish your day, gazing into the flames.

Syntes ikke om There is nothing to dislike in my opinion.

Syntes om Beautiful campsite with big pitches well spaced apart with apple trees in between to give a sense of privacy. Perfect for our children to explore and run around safely. Facilities are really clean and the onsite tap room is the cherry on top. Also loved the nature walk.
