  • Small family-friendly site in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons
  • Just off the A470, a 10-minute drive from Brecon
  • Peaceful setting next to woodland with a small stream running through
Stand by for action… Rhydywernen Farm Camping Site’s fab family farm location is in a most handy spot for getting out into the Brecon Beacons National Park for days of hiking, mountain biking, horse riding, canoeing, gorge walking and pretty much any other activity you’re up for in this part of Powys. And then, stand by for chilling out… for this is a most peaceful location, with spacious pitches backing onto woodland and a small river that’s prime territory for such classic country pursuits as skimming stones and poking about with little fishing nets in search of minnows. Away from the water's edge guests are encouraged to meet the site's miniature donkeys, helping to feed them and put them to bed in the evenings. Barbecues with a backdrop of the Brecon Beacons are of course a fine way to sort dinner on site (firepits are available to hire, with firewood to buy). If the weather’s not up to it (or you’re just in the mood to let someone else do all the work), there are plenty of pubs, cafés and restaurants up the road in Brecon. Work up an appetite for your eats with an hour-long stroll along quiet country paths, or get in the car for the easy 10-minute journey to town along the A470 (also a handy road for getting to other corners of the national park or heading across country to the north or south). Please note this is a family-friendly site: no open fires, no bad language and no loud music after 10.30pm please. Facilities on site include toilets, a washing-up area and free hot showers.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: On arrival we were met by a very helpful and polite your lady that explained what was on the site and where all the facilities were and where we could pitch our tent, we even found a place where we could park our motorcycles on some hard standing and have the tents next to the motorcycles. Site was very well kept Really nice facilities, clean and warm with plenty of hot water. Nice to meet the owners on the Sunday morning, they were very helpful and had plenty of time to talk to us.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike at all

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: New shower and toilet block. Local walks (ideal for dogs). Good recycling facilities. Large pitches with ample room for awnings and vehicle.

Disliked: Noise from the road, which obviously isn’t the campsites fault but did affect our sleeping in our touring caravan.

Liked: It was a great place to stay. Really friendly, warm welcome, and clear instructions on where everything was. Lots of free warm showers, with lovely radiators to warm my towel on too. Nice and clean, easily accessible. I loved the goats and donkey's too! A really good camp site and I have already recommended to two friends!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: What a lovely campsite! We were supposed to go there over the bank holiday weekend but had to change plans. There was absolutely no problem with changing the dates of our stay. We like everything: our little pitch by the stream, the fire pit waiting and nice dry wood (bought onsite), wooden tables, great shower block and the goats :) Would absolutely stay there again!

Liked: We had a fantastic one night stay. Clean showers/toilets. Great camping field with a stream at the bottom, friendly owners even had a beauty salon (by appointment) You can also visit there animals as they are a working farm which was a brilliant little extra.

Local attractions

So much activity awaits in the Brecon Beacons National Park: pick a gentle hike around woods and waterfalls if you want, or get stuck in to scaling Pen y Fan (25 minutes’ drive away and southern Britain’s highest mountain). Horse riders can saddle up at the stables 10 minutes away, while those who like to zoom around on mountain bikes can get some speed up at BikePark Wales (25 minutes). The outdoorsy antics don’t end there – Brecon’s something of a hub for such things, and activity centres around the town can sort you with rafting, canoeing, high ropes courses and gorge scrambling. All sound a bit too exhausting? Take a more leisurely ride on the Brecon Mountain Railway (25 minutes) before heading home via the Penderyn whisky distillery (20 minutes). Break out of the Beacons for trips to some of the area’s other attractions: Llandovery Castle is half an hour away, as is the book-loving town of Hay-on-Wye. A little further north but worth a trip are the lakes of the Elan valley and the red kite feeding station in Rhyader; both are around an hour’s drive away.
