  • Peaceful no-frills Mid Wales pop up site close to Llandrindod Wells
  • Elan Valley 25 minutes' drive; half an hour to Bannau Brycheiniog
  • Dog-friendly pitches with lovely views towards the Cambrian Mountains
Come to this Mid Wales site to unwind. The Bryn is a pop-up site in the Powys countryside, near the village of Howey and about 10 minutes' drive south of Llandrindod Wells. There are lots of short circular walks around this area, and you'll also be in a handy spot for trails like Glyndwr's Way, the Severn Way, the Heart of Wales Line Trail and Offa’s Dyke Path. Not walked far enough yet? Well, you've still got the Elan Valley, Hafren Forest and the northern parts of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) to go… Of course, it's not all about walking – this fabulously green and rural area has plenty more to entertain, including watersports, cycling, horse riding, climbing and angling, plus farm attractions and historical sites to visit. In between all that, you'll likely need some decent downtime – and at The Bryn you'll have a splendid seven-acre field for that. It’s a pretty place too, with views across the Ithon Valley to the Cambrian Mountains in the distance. Look out for wildlife (and farm animals) by day, then turn your gaze skywards after dark, as you'll often be treated to great stargazing in this remote spot. This is a no-frills site but one that's got the essentials in the form of portable toilets and clean drinking water (although please note no showers on site). Kids and dogs are welcome, and you’re allowed to light barbecues (supplies for the grill or picnics are close by in and around Llandrindod Wells, Builth Wells and Rhayader, which also have plenty of places to eat out).

What customers say

A simple, peaceful campsite with great value and amazing views. Guests loved the quiet, stargazing-friendly location and welcoming hosts. Large fields offer space, and portaloos are clean. It's best for those wanting basic amenities, though access can be tricky for low cars.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Large field in quiet location. No traffic noise and couldn't hear other people. Lovely view.

Disliked Last 0.3 of the road is very bad. I wouldn't suggest it in a vehicle with low ground clearance. Water is a large container in one corner. Toilets were 2 chemical loos.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Good to hear you liked the view and location! Just to clarify, it is a mains-fed potable water tank so the supply is replenished as people use it.

Very quiet and peaceful, stunning views.…
