  • 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.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked This place is spectacular if you love nature and fantastic views of stunning Welsh countryside.
Waking up in the morning with a view of Pen Y Fan was just a pure treat.
The site it's self, the field we stayed in had beautiful wild flowers in the center, with lots of bees and other insects going about their business.
The showers and toilet facilities were good. The showers themselves were great. Good pressure and FREE! So no complaints there.
With the four waterfalls trail so close and great hikes,.and just a short drive to Bike park Wale, why we were they, it's a fantastic find. And hope to go back.

Disliked It's not a dislike. Just an observation. As good as the showers where, there is only 2. So we had a bit of a wait. Not very long. So this isn't a moan.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked This campsite allows for peaceful camping with beautiful views of pen y fan.
- Pitches.
There is a half dozen different fields to chose from freely as you arrive, each with a selection of large pitches seperated by longer grass. This makes each pitch feel unique and secluded.
- Views.
If you pick the right spot, you will wake up to an amazing view at the foot of pen y fan.
- Facilities.
The camper's barn is stocked with food and refrigated drinks (some locally produced) and has games, books, sofas, and a basic cooking facilities. All other standard facilities are provided.
- Value.
I visited in June and the campsite felt fairly quiet. With this and all the great facilities, the price is very reasonable and I would camp here again.

Disliked - Showers.
There are two showers for the campsite so get in as soon as you can. The showers also don't have great drainage. They are clearly well maintained, the state of the shower is just a bit dependent on how well the previous occupant mopped.
- Wifi.
No wifi and very little signal by mobile data.
- Shop.
(This is just an opportunity for improvement, not an issue.)
I loved the honesty shop, it had a great selection of food and drink. I would've spent more if there was a broader selection of brecon themed souveiners (coasters, patches, bookmarks, etc). Most was sold out when I visited.

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).
