  • 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 quiet, adults-only site has roomy spots with great views. Guests loved the spotless facilities, communal barn with cooking gear, and honesty shop. Perfect for hiking and exploring the Brecon Beacons. A few noted shower wait times at busy periods, but most found it exceptional value and highly recommend it.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked The whole site was well looked after with paths easy to find your way around, all bathrooms where very clean and well maintained.

The barn was a very welcome site on the one rainy day we had on our 4 day visit and loved seeing all the sheep, horses and kits on the site also.

A great location to start for a motorcycle tour of Wales also.

Ben N. 1 review

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Great friendly hosts, amazing campsite with great indoor barn space for community engagement, cooking and somewhere dry to hide when it's wet. Apple juice from the honesty shop is great!

Disliked Honest shop only sells fairly boojie, more expensive products. Would be nice to have some cheaper more affordable items

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Ben, thanks for your review and comments.

Genuinely not sure in what world Mars Bars, Cadbury's Dairy Milk, tins of Heinz Sausage and Beans, Branston baked beans, tinned tomatoes, Kettle Crisps (borderline 'boojie'?) McVities Chocolate Digestives, Hobnobs, boxes of plain white pasta, Colgate toothpaste, Imperial Leather Soap, Listerine mouthwash, milk and eggs are thought of as 'boojie'. All our items are sold at RRP, and the majority, which come from Batley's wholesaler have the prices printed on the packets. We also stock (what we think) are a nice range of 'ready meal' type foods which are useful for people who need to cook something quick and nutritious, eg, backpackers and cyclists who cannot carry much food with them. Most people appreciate the convenience and range in our little honesty shop. And of course there is no obligation to buy from the shop - it is just something we offer should people need it. It never ceases to amaze me what some people will find to complain about. Theresa.

Wonderful, a treasure

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked I've been to this campsite many times over the last 5 years.
The owners, Teresa & Ian have created a wonderful place. At the start of each new season it's always exciting to see what new hedgerows & trees have been planted. Throughout the season it's a joy to see the wildflowers growing in the centre of each camping field.
There's a lovely barn area. Toilets and showers are lovely.
Dog friendly

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).
