  • Simple and scenic farm site in the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • A 15-minute drive from Brecon and walks up Pen y Fan
  • Dog-friendly pitches with a minimum guest age of 14
Small, simple and surrounded by stunning scenery – that’s the setup at Pwllyn Farm Camping, part of a farm in the Brecon Beacons. This spot is full of rural atmosphere but it’s handy to note that it’s only a 15-minute drive to Brecon (a journey that runs along A roads all the way). Pitches at this peaceful Powys location are small in number, well spaced and designed to make the most of the setting: they’re mown around the edges of around 20 acres of hay and wildflower meadows, with lovely views over surrounding hills and fields towards Pen y Fan. Facilities on site include five toilets, two showers, two washing-up areas, a charging point for mobile phones, a communal fridge and freezer for your icepacks. A communal cooking area and eating area with stoves and utensils is also provided. There is a cassette toilet/black waste disposal point, and all taps on the farm provide drinking water. Rubbish and recycling can be placed in the large red bin by the campers' barn. Firepits are available to hire on site for a small charge, or you are welcome to bring your own as long as they are raised off the ground and do not scorch the grass. Getting out to see more of the gorgeous surroundings is easy from here: footpaths run directly from the farm onto Mynydd Illtyd Common or up onto the nearby hills for some stunning scenery. If you’re up for stretching your legs further, there are miles of footpaths and bridleways to wander along in the area. Dogs are welcome to stay at Pwllyn Farm as long as they’re accompanied by a responsible owner; the quiet atmosphere of the site also means that it’s only suitable for guests aged 14 and over.

What customers say

This quiet, adult-only spot boasts cracking views and heaps of space. Expect nature, wildlife, and tidy facilities like a communal barn and honesty shop. Great for bushwalks, though road noise can be a bit of a downer. A well-run, friendly place, tops for a chilled break.

Liked Lovely campsite. So lovely and peaceful with absolutely gorgeous views. Plenty of space to park up and not be surrounded by people. Lovely walks available on the door step. Great little kitchen area that anyone can use with washing facilities for those who do cook at their tents and plenty of bathrooms and showers. Great little social area also for anyone wanting to get out of the tent but maybe the weathers not the best. Great hosts that where very nice and helpful.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked Wonderful campsite on a farm with lots of space, very calm and the views are amazing. Waking up to the sun peeking over the mountaintop can‘t be matched.

The large barn repurposed to a community space is a wonderful idea. The toilets and showers were always clean and functioning. Thank you for the great memories!

Disliked The way to and from the toilets could be better illuminated, so remember to carry a flashlight!

From the manager: Hi

thank you for your lovely review.

Just for clarity, we are situated in a Dark Sky Reserve so we use minimal lighting to enhance the star gazing experience for our campers. We advise campers to bring a good torch with them for evening trips to the loo!

Local attractions

Being in the Brecon Beacons National Park, there are of course heaps of fabulous walking routes around. A good place to start for ideas is the visitor centre 20 minutes’ walk away, and it’s also possible to head straight out from the farm to locations like Fan Frynych mountain or Craig Cerrig-gleisiad nature reserve – both of which are about an hour and 15 minutes away on foot. Time your strolls to bring you to Mynydd Illtyd Common late in the day, as it’s often treated to some spectacular sunsets. Other popular hiking spots nearby include the fabulous Four Falls Walk (25 minutes’ drive) and Craig-y-Nos Country Park (20 minutes). You might also like to tackle a climb of Pen y Fan (15 minutes) or head to Llangorse Lake (20 minutes) for a day of watersports. For a break from all this activity, head to Brecon (15 minutes) for a tour of the cathedral and Regimental Museum of The Royal Welsh, go underground at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (20 minutes) or take a couple of drams of Welsh whisky on a tour of Penderyn Distillery (20 minutes).
