  • 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

Pwllyn Farm: tranquil spot, ace Brecon Beacons views. Campers love the roomy, unpowered sites by wildflower fields, top-notch facilities, and the communal barn with a honesty shop. Great chill vibe, focus on nature. A few mentioned minor water pressure dips or road noise, but most rave about this beautiful, well-run park, perfect for exploring.

Liked Multiple fields to choose from. Nature. Good showers and toilets. Clean. Great local pubs

Disliked Had to wait 2/3 hours to shower because there were Duke of Edinburgh students using the showers (only 2) all night. Ended up being 10pm when we managed to shower which seemed ridiculous. But nothing the campsite could have done about it! Just annoying!

Excellent place would visit again and recommend to anyone

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked The facilities were amazing, very clean and well thought out. The weather was slightly too hot during our stay, but the camping barn provided some relief from the sun. The kitchen area and honesty shop were incredible.
The area itself was beautiful, and we got to watch the moon rise behind Pen y Fan, which was pretty special! There were lots of beautiful walks around the campsite and it’s well situated to access the many walks in the Brecons.

Disliked Nothing

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).
