  • Friendly site on the edge of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park
  • A mile from Brecon town centre; 15 minutes' drive to Pen y Fan
  • Heated outdoor pool and sports field on site; restaurant next door
Just on the edge of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, you’ll be in a splendid spot to explore when you stay at Bishops Meadow Holiday Park. This mid-sized Powys park is in a very handy location just over a mile from Brecon, so you’ll be able to walk into town in around 25 minutes, get the bus from the stop just outside or drive down there in just a few minutes. Taxis are also available for a fairly affordable rate if you fancy having a nice meal out or a few drinks in one of the town’s cosy pubs. That said, you won’t have to go all the way into town if you don’t fancy it, as this site just happens to be next door to one of the area’s most popular restaurants, specialising in big tasty burgers. Rather cook your own meals? You’re welcome to bring a barbecue along and pick up supplies at the shops in town; there are also various essentials for sale at the site’s shop (including ice creams for a sweet treat). This is a place that prides itself on its friendly atmosphere, with the staff doing their best to ‘make sure guests are having the nicest time possible’. Helping to contribute to that are the site’s facilities, which include a heated outdoor pool (open from mid-May to September), a play area, a dog-walking path and a field with football and rugby goalposts for those who’d like to get a game going. You’ll also have access to useful things like a launderette, a chemical disposal point, toilets and showers.

What customers say

Lovely, well-kept park with great views and a helpful crew. Showers and loos are spick and span. Heated pool's a winner, and it's a cracker base for exploring. Some spots are a bit sloped, and a few campsites are a trek to the dunny block. Top burger joint next door.

 James S. 1 review

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked Great location. Pitch was plenty big enough for the van, and I liked that it was fully serviced so keeping our water topped up was easy. Well-established trees kept the wind away, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Hills burger restaurant next door was a bonus, and a bus stop right outside the gates was useful for Brecon. Finally, an overflow car park was provided for an additional car.

Shower cubicles were well designed, with a bench away from the shower spray to keep clothes dry. Shower was hot, and powerful.

Liked great location to explore and Brecon was a 5 minute drive away, the site was clean and tidy and the pool was great in the hot weather.

Disliked there was no hot water in the toilets or showers, the boiler was broken, could happen to any site, but let down what was a great weekend

Fabulous site, can’t wait to stay again!

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked Lovely warm welcome, friendly helpful staff. Nice walk into town, roughly half an hour walk, good selection of shops and supermarkets. Pool was lovely especially as we arrived during a heatwave. Play park for kids and loads of space to enjoy kids running around (too many campsites push in more camping spaces and don’t think of play area outside the park, lovely that this site encourages kids play) Good showers and facilities, restaurant and bar onsite we didn’t use but looked nice and folk we spoke to on site spoke highly of the place. We would rebook for sure without hesitation!

Disliked Nothing!

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked Plenty of room, facilities clean.

Disliked Walk from tent field to the Toilet block too far, could do with a toilet facility closer to the tent field, we noticed people using the edge row instead of of walking to the distant toilet block.

Local attractions

Brecon is a fairly small town, but it’s got plenty for the visitor – you may like to pay a visit to the cathedral, see the Royal Welsh Regimental Museum or explore the handful of art galleries here. There are also some lovely walks from town along the banks of the River Usk or the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, and shows and concerts at Theatr Brycheiniog. The area around the town is packed with outdoor activities, including fishing, horse riding, mountain biking and watersports; the best way to find out about all of these is to ask site staff or consult the information folder in the office. Of course the national park has walks galore too, including the popular Four Waterfalls Walk (half an hour’s drive away) and the ascent of Pen y Fan (15 minutes). Other outings nearby might take you to an alpaca walk with Alpaca My Boots (15 minutes), a trip underground at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (half an hour) or to learn about the past at Big Pit National Coal Museum (45 minutes).
