  • Simple and scenic farm site in the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • A 15-minute drive from Brecon and walks up Pen y Fan
  • Dog-friendly pitches with a minimum guest age of 14
Small, simple and surrounded by stunning scenery – that’s the setup at Pwllyn Farm Camping, part of a farm in the Brecon Beacons. This spot is full of rural atmosphere but it’s handy to note that it’s only a 15-minute drive to Brecon (a journey that runs along A roads all the way). Pitches at this peaceful Powys location are small in number, well spaced and designed to make the most of the setting: they’re mown around the edges of around 20 acres of hay and wildflower meadows, with lovely views over surrounding hills and fields towards Pen y Fan. Facilities on site include five toilets, two showers, two washing-up areas, a charging point for mobile phones, a communal fridge and freezer for your icepacks. A communal cooking area and eating area with stoves and utensils is also provided. There is a cassette toilet/black waste disposal point, and all taps on the farm provide drinking water. Rubbish and recycling can be placed in the large red bin by the campers' barn. Firepits are available to hire on site for a small charge, or you are welcome to bring your own as long as they are raised off the ground and do not scorch the grass. Getting out to see more of the gorgeous surroundings is easy from here: footpaths run directly from the farm onto Mynydd Illtyd Common or up onto the nearby hills for some stunning scenery. If you’re up for stretching your legs further, there are miles of footpaths and bridleways to wander along in the area. Dogs are welcome to stay at Pwllyn Farm as long as they’re accompanied by a responsible owner; the quiet atmosphere of the site also means that it’s only suitable for guests aged 14 and over.

What customers say

This well-kept campsite has spacious sites amid gorgeous nature and stunning views, especially of Pen Y Fan. Guests rave about the clean facilities, including well-equipped communal barns with cooking gear and honesty shops. The peaceful vibe and private fields are a big hit. Perfect for hikers with easy trail access. Minor shower lineups at peak times, but overwhelmingly positive, with many wanting to return.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked A large campsite with spacious pitches that genuinely give you a sense of privacy. The surrounding scenery is stunning, with beautiful views of mountains and forests. Everything is very clean, well-maintained, and picturesque. It's truly a wonderful place, and I'll definitely be coming back here again.

Disliked Honestly, I didn't find anything about the campsite that I disliked. The only thing I'd mention is that anyone staying there should make sure their fire pit is completely cleaned out and free of charcoal before they leave.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked The stunning location overlooking Pen-Y-Fan, the meadows and communal cooking area.

The honesty shop and fridge for storage were great.

Great location nr Pen-Y-Fan and Brecon.

Disliked The lack of showers. Only two on site. As the place got busier so did the queue for the showers.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked The area was very peaceful and plenty of room you’re not on top of each other and the owner was very friendly/informative on arrival. The site itself was very clean no rubbish around, fire pits are available too! We didn’t need to use the on site shop but they had all the essentials.

Disliked There’s only two shower rooms (which inc a toilet) and three single toilets, at peak times there were queues and on one of the days we were there two of the single toilets was out of toilet roll for hours which again lead to queues.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Really great facilities for a non-electric campsite - there’s a main campers barn with clean toilet/showers, shared washing up and cooking space with kitchenware to borrow. The barn also had a collection of board games which the owners let us borrow and take back to our pitch. So much information in the barn about the nature, wildlife, and walks of Brecon and the surrounding national park.
The fields for pitching were massive with plenty of variety- wildflowers in the middle of the fields. The field we stayed in had amazing views of Pen Y Fan. Would really recommend for all adult campers - single night stay or week long. Great location, would stay again.

Local attractions

Being in the Brecon Beacons National Park, there are of course heaps of fabulous walking routes around. A good place to start for ideas is the visitor centre 20 minutes’ walk away, and it’s also possible to head straight out from the farm to locations like Fan Frynych mountain or Craig Cerrig-gleisiad nature reserve – both of which are about an hour and 15 minutes away on foot. Time your strolls to bring you to Mynydd Illtyd Common late in the day, as it’s often treated to some spectacular sunsets. Other popular hiking spots nearby include the fabulous Four Falls Walk (25 minutes’ drive) and Craig-y-Nos Country Park (20 minutes). You might also like to tackle a climb of Pen y Fan (15 minutes) or head to Llangorse Lake (20 minutes) for a day of watersports. For a break from all this activity, head to Brecon (15 minutes) for a tour of the cathedral and Regimental Museum of The Royal Welsh, go underground at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (20 minutes) or take a couple of drams of Welsh whisky on a tour of Penderyn Distillery (20 minutes).
