  • Family-run touring park just off the A4067 at Pen-y-Cae
  • Henrhyd Falls 10 minutes' drive; half an hour to Pen y Fan
  • Well-maintained heated bathroom block on site; pub next to entrance
Taking some time to explore the attractions of the Brecon Beacons National Park? Bag a berth at Brecon Beacons Touring Park and you’ll be making your base at a family-run park that’s in an excellent Powys position for getting out and about to see the stunning scenery of the southern and western parts of the park. Just off the A4067 between the villages of Pen-y-Cae and Ynyswen, when you stay at this park you’ll be well placed for visits to the nearby waterfalls, climbs of Pen y Fan and trips underground at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales. There are heaps of hiking and bike trails around to follow as well – and if that's not enough to keep you busy, well, you can always set off for the seaside, as the beaches of the Gower Peninsula are less than an hour's drive away. This isn't a park with a long list of facilities, but what has been provided is well designed and well maintained – including the bathroom block, which has heating, a baby changing area and accessible facilities. There’s also a chemical disposal point and a washing-up area, and you’ll be allowed to bring along an off-ground barbecue to do your alfresco meals (although, in another handy location bonus, there also happens to be a food pub a couple of minutes’ walk away…)

Great Aussie spot! Clean, friendly, well-kept campsite perfect for Brecon Beacons. Love the spotless loos/showers, roomy sites & helpful staff. Bonus pub with good grub & vibes. Usually quiet, but pub noise can happen. Top marks for location, facilities & value.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Great campsite, excellent service. Janine is incredibly friendly and helpful. Before arriving, I received a text message with full instructions and all the necessary information. The pitches are large and have electricity, the bathrooms and toilets are clean, and there's a bar right next to the campsite with a huge selection of beers and good food. I highly recommend it.

Unpowered grass tent site (solo)

Liked Friendly staff

Disliked Toilets and shower a bit dirty. Noisy place, maybe because a lot of people were also customers of the pub. Although the site at Dan Yr Ogof is bigger, it’s quieter and more comfortable.

From the manager: Sorry if you found the place noisy and showers dirty. Most people comment on how quiet and clean the site is.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Peace, simple layout, site location, local walks, toilets and showers, clean and fresh.
Excellent welcome, very friendly, and helpful, then left in peace to enjoy our week.
Did report to site mobile that someone had flooded toilets somehow, and they were mopped out instantly, what more could you want.

Disliked Not a negative just a comment, but only one mop to share between mens and ladies shower blocks, handy have one each as not always available to clean shower floor for next person, if in use in ladies. But showers were very clean.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed our peaceful location and our facilities.
Comments taken on board, thank you

Local attractions

Hiking is a real highlight around here, whether you're keen to tick off the major sights or seek out quieter trails. Some of the popular spots nearby include Henrhyd Falls (10 minutes’ drive), the Four Waterfalls Walk (half an hour) and the trails taking you up South Wales’ tallest peak, Pen y Fan (half an hour). For more of an adrenaline rush, take yourselves to the all-weather trails of BikePark Wales (40 minutes) or ride the high-speed ziplines at Zip World Tower (20 minutes). All a bit too much? Settle for a quieter life with a visit to the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (five minutes), animal encounters at Wales Ape & Monkey Sanctuary (five minutes) or a tour and tipple at Penderyn Distillery (20 minutes). Change of scenery? Get down to the Gower Peninsula (around an hour) for beach days and coastal walks – places like Mumbles, Three Cliffs Bay and Rhossili are well worth the longer drive, and there are lots of lovely places to eat along the coast too.
