  • Peaceful no-frills Mid Wales pop up site close to Llandrindod Wells
  • Elan Valley 25 minutes' drive; half an hour to Bannau Brycheiniog
  • Dog-friendly pitches with lovely views towards the Cambrian Mountains
Calling all walkers… this Mid-Wales site is in a fantastic position for all sorts of rural rambles, taking in some of Wales' best long-distance paths and favourite hiking areas. The Bryn is a pop-up site in the Powys countryside, near the village of Disserth and about 10 minutes' drive south of Llandrindod Wells. There are lots of short circular walks around this area, and you'll also be in a handy spot for trails like Glyndwr's Way, the Severn Way, the Heart of Wales Line Trail and Offa’s Dyke Path. Not walked far enough yet? Well, you've still got the Elan Valley, Hafren Forest and the northern parts of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) to go… Of course, it's not all about walking – this fabulously green and rural area has plenty more to entertain, including watersports, cycling, horse riding and climbing, plus farm attractions and castles to visit. In between all that, you'll likely need some decent downtime – and at The Bryn you'll have a splendid seven-acre field for that. It’s a pretty place too, with views across the Ithon Valley to the Cambrian Mountains in the distance. Look out for wildlife (and farm animals) by day, then turn your gaze skywards after dark, as you'll often be treated to great stargazing in this remote spot. This is a no-frills site but one that's got the essentials in the form of portable toilets and clean drinking water (although please note no showers on site). Kids and dogs are welcome, and you’re allowed to light barbecues (supplies for the grill or picnics are close by in and around Llandrindod Wells, Builth Wells and Rhayader, which also have plenty of places to eat out).

What customers say

A basic, wild camping spot on a quiet 7-acre site with amazing views. Pitch up anywhere! Has potable water & portaloos. Peaceful & great for stars, but near Llandrindod Wells for supplies. Great value for a simple, natural escape.

Alana R.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked Very easy to find off of the A483, if using Google maps make sure it doesn't change Bryn Farm to Brynhir Farm!

Owner was very friendly and helpful with check-in as we arrived at 10pm, which made it all the more lovely to wake up to their beautiful piece of the countryside.

Had tonnes of space to ourselves and could forget anyone else was in the field.

The portaloos were really clean and suitable for the type of stay.

Disliked Nothing!

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Great peaceful place in the middle of almost nowhere, well priced, hosts were very friendly and welcoming, lovely mountain view with a dark beautiful night of stars.
Idyllic local villages to explore and Elan Valley only just down the road was a nice little trip.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Had a lovely stay over for the night, travelling down to Builth Wells for my dog show with my 3 dogs. Most peaceful night as there is nothing around, no traffic sounds.

Disliked you know there is nothing there but portable toilets and nothing else

Peter G.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked We arrived to a beautiful empty field with magnificent views. I called the owner and he confirmed we had the whole 7 acre site to ourselves!
There's no restriction on pitch sizes, just park where you like.
It's a very basic site with a potable water tank at the top of the site (that you share with the sheep) and a pair of portable toilets by the gate.
It's not very level by the gate but gets better higher up. It's very quiet at night and with no ambient light nearby, it's great for stargazing.
There's lots of places to eat in nearby llandrindod wells and some amazing views locally.
