  • 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…)

What customers say

A top spot! Clean, spacious pitches, and excellent facilities. Great for Brecon Beacons adventures. On-site pub's a winner, and the owner's communication is superb. Many keen to come back.

Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked Great facilities. Very clean. Very responsive manager who ensured we had everything we needed.
Pub looked nice at the entrance to the park and took dogs.
Beautiful walks nearby.

Disliked Just for information- not a dislike…
The walks to the river and up to the Beacons were along a busy road but there were pavements. ( 20 mph but didn’t feel like that). Only a minor thing- but important to know if you have children or dogs.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review, glad you enjoyed,
I will make a note to inform people to actually walk into the village and exit by Lle Tarw cafe to avoid the majority of the main road walk down to the river.

Lovely peaceful stay, spotless facilities and great location.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Good warm, clean showers/toilets.
Easy access to water and grey/black disposal.
Good communication with owner.
Clear instructions.
Pitch's good size with some grass next to you to sit out.
Close to pub which is award winning.

Disliked Stayed in the middle of a storm with high winds and horrendous rain so not a good experience but nothing to do with the site.
Electric hook up went off at midnight I assume due to the weather which is main reason we stayed.

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.
