  • Small family-friendly site in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons
  • Just off the A470, a 10-minute drive from Brecon
  • Peaceful setting next to woodland with a small stream running through
Stand by for action… Rhydywernen Farm Camping Site’s fab family farm location is in a most handy spot for getting out into the Brecon Beacons National Park for days of hiking, mountain biking, horse riding, canoeing, gorge walking and pretty much any other activity you’re up for in this part of Powys. And then, stand by for chilling out… for this is a most peaceful location, with spacious pitches backing onto woodland and a small river that’s prime territory for such classic country pursuits as skimming stones and poking about with little fishing nets in search of minnows. Away from the water's edge guests are encouraged to meet the site's miniature donkeys, helping to feed them and put them to bed in the evenings. Barbecues with a backdrop of the Brecon Beacons are of course a fine way to sort dinner on site (firepits are available to hire, with firewood to buy). If the weather’s not up to it (or you’re just in the mood to let someone else do all the work), there are plenty of pubs, cafés and restaurants up the road in Brecon. Work up an appetite for your eats with an hour-long stroll along quiet country paths, or get in the car for the easy 10-minute journey to town along the A470 (also a handy road for getting to other corners of the national park or heading across country to the north or south). Please note this is a family-friendly site: no open fires, no bad language and no loud music after 10.30pm please. Facilities on site include toilets, a washing-up area and hot showers (just take note that during popular times, the water pressure may be a little lower than usual).

What customers say

A tidy, quiet farm site near Brecon. Reviewers love the new loos, friendly staff and farm critters. Spacious spots, lovely river. Bit of road noise sometimes. Great for exploring!

Simon A. 6 reviews

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked + A small site with 12 hard-standing, electric pitches and two small fields for camping.
+ The staff were friendly and helpful.
+ A convenient stop-over for Aberhonddu (Brecon).
+ A scenic location on a farm.
+ Dog friendly.

Disliked - Site sign could be slightly larger. We drove passed it when we first arrived and had to turn back around.
- Not all guests appreciated personal space of other pitches (not a fault with the site, just the other clientele when we stayed).

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Beautiful setting by the river. Fell asleep to sound of the running water. Walk into Brecon along back country roads ok, with care to listen for vehicles, but mostly considerate drivers driving slowly, fortunately. Very nice and helpful welcome. School party on camping field overnight but gone by the time we got up and didn't hear them at all! Quite a vocal donkey occasionally😁 but lovely seeing them and the pygmy goats. Lovely peaceful site.

Liked Great location for the town, Pen y Fan, waterfalls and lots of hiking trails.
Pitches are easily accessible, electric connections and a mix of hard standing and grass.

Local attractions

So much activity awaits in the Brecon Beacons National Park: pick a gentle hike around woods and waterfalls if you want, or get stuck in to scaling Pen y Fan (25 minutes’ drive away and southern Britain’s highest mountain). Horse riders can saddle up at the stables 10 minutes away, while those who like to zoom around on mountain bikes can get some speed up at BikePark Wales (25 minutes). The outdoorsy antics don’t end there – Brecon’s something of a hub for such things, and activity centres around the town can sort you with rafting, canoeing, high ropes courses and gorge scrambling. All sound a bit too exhausting? Take a more leisurely ride on the Brecon Mountain Railway (25 minutes) before heading home via the Penderyn whisky distillery (20 minutes). Break out of the Beacons for trips to some of the area’s other attractions: Llandovery Castle is half an hour away, as is the book-loving town of Hay-on-Wye. A little further north but worth a trip are the lakes of the Elan valley and the red kite feeding station in Rhayader; both are around an hour’s drive away.
