  • Dog-friendly site on the bank of the river Grwyne
  • Footpaths to the Black Mountains; 25 minutes’ drive to Llangorse Lake
  • Two miles of fishing on site; barbecue, firepit and outdoor kitchen
Sink your teeth into the Black Mountains from Brecon Beacons Bell Tents… this scenic site is on the bank of the river Grwyne in the national park, so mornings could look like a bacon sandwich and brew by the riverside or fishing along the two-mile stretch. It’s remote here with the river, woodlands and meadows, but there’s a barbecue and firepit with a well-stocked woodpile to keep the evenings lively enough and a public footpath that leads to summits in the Black Mountains or the Grwyne Valley. When you’re after a cuppa post-hike, just slide into the covered kitchen outdoors, where there’s a gas cooker and electric coolbox. The tent has a hot shower and toilet, a double bed with a memory foam mattress, a double futon and a tent stove. Perhaps follow the riverbank down to Llangenny village (15 minutes’ walk), where there’s a country pub with fine ales and good grub, or venture to Crickhowell (five minutes’ drive) for pubs, cafés, independent shops and a butchers… or Abergavenny (15 minutes) for that, and markets too. Otherwise, places deliver food locally – the site will bring it to you upon arrival. There’s parking by the site for those with four-wheel drives and another car park a short walk away (get a lift in the tractor if you have lots of luggage).

Liked Everything! The setting was private, tranquil and beautiful. It was cold being february but the fire pit and log burner in the yurt kept us cosy.

The hot shower was great in the cold mornings.

The owner was very responsive with all our questions.

Bryn Hafod - Summer on the Hill unpowered forest floor tent site

Liked Very secluded area, with very little noise from the nearby road. A beautiful stream to hike down to the nearby pub.

Disliked The tent was preset up, which was amazing. But there were a few medium sized stones under the ground sheet, and they were accidentally stepped on a few times and were painful. I think that should have been checked and removed when they set it up, if there was no preset up tent there, we would have checked the ground before setting up our own tent.

From the manager: Hi Guys

Sorry about the stones, I'll look into it today. Glad you enjoyed though.

Cheers for coming.

Bryn Hafod - Summer on the Hill unpowered forest floor tent site

Liked A wonderful place to camp. Best bit was the privacy and being surrounded by nature. It's a basic site but that's great and how camping should be. Toilet was clean and shower was a luxury as was the sink and prep area. We made good use of the fire pit each evening. Even though we didn't meet the owners, they were incredibly helpful. Local area is brilliant too including the local pub.
