Overview of eco camping wales
View over campsite from premium sites to meadowfield to churchfield to entrance on main road.
Lower level

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 setup is another big bonus – the site channels cold mountain spring water into its hand-washing basins, for example (not for drinking, bring your own) – as is the back-to-nature feel (there are no concrete hardstandings or electric hook-ups here). This Glamorgan site encourages open-fire cooking across most of the grounds (bring reusable barbecues/firepits and raise them high off the ground, please) 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 on the long-distance Beacons Way trail that passes the park. Wander to one of the pubs a few minutes from the site too, pick up supplies at the village shop in Ynyswen or head to Ystradgynlais’s coffee shops. A few bits and pieces to be aware of if you’re planning on staying here: the shower is coin operated; you'll need to bring your own drinking water; firewood/kindling is for sale on site (the owners are happy for you to bring your own); and there’s no commercial waste so please be prepared to take all rubbish home and leave the space as you find it.

The Oak Tree 1 Areal til telt græs og jord uden elektricitet (premium, skyggefuld)

Syntes om: Stayed in the Oak 1 spot - Secluded and spacious spot - Firewood available - Stream running through the site - Close to lots of lovely walks - Very polite and helpful host - Provided fire pits - out of O2 signal range (perfect for me but might not be ideal for families)

Syntes ikke om: Host mentioned that as of next year it may not dog friendly which is a massive shame as one of the best camp sites I’ve stayed in. Hopefully they change their minds 🤞🏽

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for lovely review at such a wet time on Friday night With good owners we enjoy and probably let good owners with dogs stay:) But unfortunately it's that bad apple that spoils it for us and other campers on site

Areal til telt græs og jord uden elektricitet (solo)

Syntes om: Absolutely loved this site. I had planned to stay for 2 nights but stayed for a third and enjoyed staying on 2 lovely pitches, both with amazing views. The site is peaceful and relaxing. There is no WiFi or phone reception just immersion in nature. I did two long walks, and was blessed with sunshine on both; the scenery is spectacular. The owners are interesting and inspirational. I will definitely be back.

Syntes ikke om: I couldn't stay longer.

The Pond Areal til telt græs og jord uden elektricitet (afsides, premium)

Syntes om: We chose the ‘Pond’ secluded pitch for a 4 night stay. Be sure to check the details before you stay - this is eco camping not Butlins - which is absolutely why we chose it! Great spacious pitch with an island you can chill on, rack a hammock or pitch on if your tent is not too large and you’re brave enough (we weren’t but spent time on the island and paddling) The loo with a view was a particular favourite feature. All the wonders of wild camping with the comfort of a piping hot shower & flushing toilet if you’re feeling fancy. We were lucky enough to have the site to ourselves for a couple of nights which was tranquil. Jeremy was a gracious host, showing us to our pitch and all the features of the site, we caught him again the following morning for a chat by the shower but were otherwise left to our own devices to enjoy our stay which we did. The site allows motorcycles so we will definitely look to return on two wheels.

Meadow Field Areal til telt græs og jord uden elektricitet

Syntes om: Spacious Camping site

Syntes ikke om: While we appreciate the eco-friendly initiatives at this site, we feel that the facilities do not justify the cost. The showers, toilets, and camping amenities are quite basic, which seems to reflect a lack of investment. As paying customers, we expected a higher standard in these areas.

Anbefal til venner Besøg igen

Fra bestyreren: Hi I recommend all future guest really read Pitchup descriptions. Or contact us by email or phone if you are unsure of our facilitates

Good to be able to book specific pitches. Few facilities for the cost.

The Oak Tree 1 Areal til telt græs og jord uden elektricitet (premium, skyggefuld)

Syntes om: We booked the pitch Oaktree 1. Nearest other pitch is about 20 yards away and then the next is around 50 yards, so good if you don't want to be surrounded by other tents and be sure of a good pitch if turning up late in the day. The pitch was large enough for a family tent ~5 x 2.5 m and a 3 x 3 m gazebo but is on a slight slope. It would also have room for a pup tent under the canopy of the oak tree. The fire pit is a fixed old beer keg on a concrete slab that works well. The pitch has its own dedicated parking space on some gravel about 10 yards away from where your tent will be - not possible to park right next to the tent on this pitch. Nice to have a small stream close to the tent to provide some acoustics in the evening. Glad not to have any on-site lighting to keep things dark at night. Glad not to have any phone signal (O2). Firewood available in bags from the farmhouse but no kindling.

Syntes ikke om: Eco at this campsite means "we haven't disturbed the environment by building anything" ;-) One toilet and shower in a small outbuilding by the farmhouse, one compostable toilet at the top end of the site, and a few water taps are all the facilities we saw - The site wasn't very busy due to some bad weather but there were still queues for the toilet at peak time in the morning. Eco also means "take your rubbish home with you" as there are no bins. No problem with this principal but not good to have to remove other peoples dog poo from the pitch when setting up. Considering the nightly rates are similar to campsites with toilet blocks, bins, etc. the site isn't great value unless you value the certainty of booking a specific pitch Not exactly related to the campsite, but the owner obviously doesn't want to encourage anyone using the bridleway that passes in front of the farmyard - the line of the path is blocked by several fences. There are a couple of footpath from the campsite entry road that can be used to head down the valley if you want to avoid walking on the main road - one is missing its waymarking where it leaves the campsite, we didn't walk the other one.

Church Field Areal til telt eller autocamper græs og jord uden elektricitet (højst 6 meter)

Syntes om: The views are stunning

Syntes ikke om: The facilities are very dated and basic…. One toilet and one shower (which you pay for) for the whole site. This might be acceptable for a cheap stay but it wasn’t cheap! It’s a field, which was becoming water logged. Can’t quite work out why it’s called Eco either.

Anbefal til venner Besøg igen

Fra bestyreren: Please read out Pitchup if unsure of facilities and our eco efforts before booking. Or give us a call/email. Happy to chat. Sorry can't help the weather this Summer it's been awful!

Not good value for money

Meadow Field Areal til telt græs og jord uden elektricitet

Syntes om: The owners are friendly and you can park next to your tent which is helpful in the rain! The field is nice and open.

Syntes ikke om: This site is not designed with experience in mind. The taps are used for water and in the same muddy patch you need to wash up the items from cooking. There is one toilet for two fields of people, that's around 40+ people to use one space. There is one shower which you must pay for. This is not acceptable because those with children or those who need help to shower need to spend more so they have the time to clean themselves. That is unfair. The site refuses to pay for spring water testing but as a paying member of the public this is unacceptable in the UK. The grass is not mown for tents meaning that it is super wet for camping before it even rains. Overall for the cost per person, this site abuses the term "eco" for cost cutting and profit.

Anbefal til venner Besøg igen

Fra bestyreren: Camping “the activity of spending a holiday in a tent”.* Dictionary definition! The experience is your to make… pubs, walks, interest in the environment and engaging with those who are custodians of the country side. Most people who camp bring a washing up bowl and heat water at the tent or in an appropriate place and clean their utensils in their bowl or use one of the two sinks provided. The site has 3 toilets, two composting toilets and one flushing toilets (see site map, Pitchup or ask) . As explained on Pitchup and specifically on arrival, YOU need to bring your own drinking water. The spring water is not tested and is therefore unfit for drinking. Due to the storage of water, there is a limited supply. This means you are not at liberty to take a shower like you are at home on mains supply. It takes about 48 hours to refill the tanks,(72 if people are still using the supply ). Water economics is a subject least talked about and yet our most pressing issue, hence compostable toilets. You are on a working farm and haylage has been taken on the fields you are guests on, and this year has been wetter than usual (if you haven’t noticed), and so cutting grass at will, is not possible. The recycle/reuse ethos we have here is to highlight the waste we produce, but also to encourage our thoughts to water usage on a daily basis. If you had dared to engage to find out the reedbed system being used to process water or the composting of waste or ecological area of orchids or lichens on the trees or any of the other environmental projects on the farm, there may be weight to your comment. We are sorry for your one wet night here we had no control over the weather. We have NO WiFi here.

Lokale seværdigheder

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 Craig-y-Nos park. You can also hop on a horse at the local stable or hire an ebike to explore the mountains. Head to Henrhyd Falls (15 minutes' drive) 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).
