  • Wild camping on an organic farm in the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • Two miles from a trail up Pen y Fan; Four Waterfalls 30 minutes' drive
  • Meadow pitches with walks on site; near pubs, shops and hiking routes
Ca’s Camping is in pole position for anyone keen to get out and about in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Situated on the edge of the park, with glorious mountain views right from your tent, this is wild camping in a peaceful, flat meadow on an organic farm with dairy cows, free-range hens and ponies. The dogs get to come on your Welsh adventure too (on leads please), and you can exercise them in the designated 2.5-acre meadow adjoining your camping field, which has a stream running through the middle for family paddles and splashing around. A 10-minute walk in woodland takes you to gorgeous waterfalls on a tributary of the Tarrell river. You can pick up supplies for the barbecue from the handy supermarkets in Brecon (10 minutes’ drive, check out the historic cathedral too), where there are also masses of pubs, fish and chip shops and takeaways for those nights when no-one wants to cook. Simple facilities back on site include two composting toilets and an electric shower, as well as a washing-up area and refuse recycling points. An added bonus is the standpipes providing drinking water straight from a spring in the Brecon Beacons.

Liked: Great beautiful and peaceful location. Very close to walking trails, geocaching and handy shops. The site also has excellent eco credentials. It's close to wild camping with a few home comforts. A real gem.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Great location, nice flat field, toilets basic but liked that they were composting Superb views. Having a campfire is always a must so glad we could have one here

Disliked: I think the fire pit idea would've been improved by being raised such as using a washing machine drum or large wheel Entrance got a bit muddy during heavy rain

Daria V. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: We enjoyed our stay at this place. That’s a great balance between wild and too glam camping. You have portable toilets with all necessary toiletries and shower with hot water. When it’s dark you don’t hear neighbours so it feels quite detached. In the meantime you’re 10 minutes drive from town with shops and restaurants. And it’s a nice location for exploring Brecon Beacons. P.s. staff (the guy who helped us with fire, I forgot to ask his name) is very friendly and nice to talk with.

Disliked: Nothing

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Late check in, clean toilets, spacious shower, nice washing facilities, plenty of space for camping

Disliked: Single source of water as there can be at times a long queue, and only one shower, it wasn't an issue for us this time, but I can see how this could be a problem
