Cwmffrwd farm on the side of waun fach mountain

  • Eco site with wildflower meadows in the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • Crickhowell 15 minutes' drive; Llangorse Lake 20 minutes
  • On a 22-acre property with a woodfired sauna and mountain views
Back to nature is the premise at Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite, an eco-friendly retreat in seriously stunning surroundings. Set in 22 acres of wildflower meadows, the farm is tucked away in the towering mountains of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, and the hosts are serious about maintaining the natural biodiversity of the land. What sets this Powys site apart? Firstly, its remote nature is in stark contrast with busy, populated sites, which helps to keep the land a haven for wildlife and guests alike. To keep everyone (and the flowers) safe, vehicles are not permitted on the wildflower meadows unless it's necessary to reach your pitch. There are two grass car parks instead; kit can be transported to your pitch using the wheelbarrows provided. Secondly, in keeping with the goal of minimising the impact on the land, the amenities are very simple. There are four composting toilets and a simple barn with two washing-up sinks, a communal fridge-freezer and kettle and a cubicle with a flushing toilet and shower. Guests are asked to arrive prepared with bags to take their rubbish and recycling home. On the farm, data signal is limited, so this is your chance to properly disconnect and spend your time frolicking in the meadows, paddling in the stream or treating yourself to a session in the woodfired sauna. Despite its peaceful location, the farm is only a 15-minute drive from Crickhowell and 25 minutes from the bookish town of Hay-on-Wye or the market town of Brecon.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its magnificent scenery, tranquil atmosphere, and spacious, well-separated pitches. Guests enjoyed the "back to nature" feel, eco-friendly facilities including compost toilets, and breathtaking views. The hosts, particularly Pridie, are consistently described as welcoming, helpful, and friendly. While most found the facilities adequate for a basic, natural camping experience, some noted the limited number of showers and toilets could be an issue when busier. Parking a short walk from pitches and the uphill walk to some tents were mentioned as minor drawbacks.

Buzzard bell tent (three person)

Liked Very very nice place, but not for everyone

Disliked Our bell tent was about 400m away from parking, up hill, not for most people.
Facilities were next to car park so quite a bit of hike each time you wanted to get anything sorted.
Overall great place but be mindfull, its not for the lazy ones ;)

From the manager: Thanks for taking the time to review after your stay. It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed the farm. Yes, we strive to create a true sense of wild here for our guests and so everyone is asked to park in the meadow carpark and walk to their tent and hired bell tent pitches, giving them a big open meadows to really relax in and gain a true sense of being in nature. Hopefully you found the wheelbarrows helpful for moving kit and we are always happy to help if guests require extra assistance 😊 Best wishes, Pridie

Lower Meadow primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Beautiful campsite in a tranquil setting. Definitely back to nature here, if you like toilet blocks and "Amenities" this probably isn't for you. The pitches are level, very well spaced and each with it's own fire pit. We will definitely be back!

Disliked Having to leave.

From the manager: Thank you so much for the kind review, it's ace to hear guests have enjoyed their stay so much they don't want to leave! Hopefully see you again soon 😊

Ladybird bell tent (four person)

Liked Couldn't have asked for more. Pridie was the most welcoming host ever, met us on arrival, took our stuff and my mother to the tebt and gave a lot of useful information.

The place itself was exactly what we're looking for from Welsh countryside. So quiet and peaceful and absolutely stunning views.

Thank you for your hospitality (Sorry the boys weren't the greatest of shepherd's haha)

Lower Meadow primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Really lovely location in the hills, Pridie was a friendly and kind host. Felt back to nature. Nice to have space around the pitches so felt more open. Great base to walk from. Has all the space and facilities you need for a short break away. Shame we missed the sauna Saturday!

Disliked Nothing to dislike about the site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks so much for the review Dave. We're really pleased to hear that you had a fab time and enjoyed the campsite. You'll have to come again and enjoy the sauna next time! Best wishes, Pridie

A fantastic place to stay to comfortably reconnect with the wild.

Upper Meadow primitive grass tent campsite

Liked I LOVED LOVED LOVED my stay here. It was quiet, beautiful, respected nature, beautiful scenery, fabulous walks from the adjacent fields and.... As I sat on the toilet in the barn, I could watch the swollow birds feeding their brood of hungry babies. Toilet with a view extraordinaire!!! I'd intended going wild camping on my second night, but changed plans and stayed. I already felt thoroughly at peace. My hope is restored in the kind of campsites I want to stay at. Thanks so much Pridie.

Disliked Not a problem for me at all, but don't come expecting showers like the Hilton hotel or WiFi like home. This is a campsite for nature-loving outdoor types.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks so much for the review Rachel! It's totally brilliant to hear how much you enjoyed your stay! Hopefully, we'll see you again next summer ☀️ Best wishes, Pridie and James
