  • Family-run touring park just off the A4067 at Pen-y-Cae
  • Henrhyd Falls 10 minutes' drive; half an hour to Pen y Fan
  • Well-maintained heated bathroom block on site; pub next to entrance
Taking some time to explore the attractions of the Brecon Beacons National Park? Bag a berth at Brecon Beacons Touring Park and you’ll be making your base at a family-run park that’s in an excellent Powys position for getting out and about to see the stunning scenery of the southern and western parts of the park. Just off the A4067 between the villages of Pen-y-Cae and Ynyswen, when you stay at this park you’ll be well placed for visits to the nearby waterfalls, climbs of Pen y Fan and trips underground at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales. There are heaps of hiking and bike trails around to follow as well – and if that's not enough to keep you busy, well, you can always set off for the seaside, as the beaches of the Gower Peninsula are less than an hour's drive away. This isn't a park with a long list of facilities, but what has been provided is well designed and well maintained – including the bathroom block, which has heating, a baby changing area and accessible facilities. There’s also a chemical disposal point and a washing-up area, and you’ll be allowed to bring along an off-ground barbecue to do your alfresco meals (although, in another handy location bonus, there also happens to be a food pub a couple of minutes’ walk away…)

What customers say

This clean, friendly campsite is in a beautiful area, perfect for exploring the Brecon Beacons. Guests rave about the spotless washrooms, roomy pitches, and helpful staff. The on-site pub is a big plus for food and ambiance. Mostly quiet, though the pub can get a bit noisy. Great value, highly recommended!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Surrounded by lovely countryside, we received a warm welcome with lots of information about walks, local pubs,etc. the toilets were very clean and there is a pub selling good food at the entrance to the site .

Disliked Some noise from the busy road but it was quiet at night so no real problem

Well worth a visit and fairly priced too.

Peter W.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely host made very welcome from arrival, so laid back too. Very quiet visit overnight, spent three nights here. Amenities good and clean. Chemical disposal, grey water disposal and clean water taps and hose. A good pub on entrance and an outside catering area also with plenty of room. Although best to book in pub as extremely busy. They had live music on Saturday night which was all good and didn't run on too late. To sum it up a good site for the family, couple young or old or even a single traveller. Catering for small tents to large motorhomes. Some pitches will require levellers although not too drastic.
Some great walks within the National park easily accessible.

Disliked Nothing really.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, we look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely site, friendly staff. Very clean facilities. Great pub and eatery on site. Enjoyed the stay

Disliked If taking an awning the gravel was hard to get pegs in but plenty of grass pitches with no electricity.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review. To clarift, all the hardstanding pitches have grass to the side of them for your awning. Hopefully see you again soon.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Great campsite, excellent service. Janine is incredibly friendly and helpful. Before arriving, I received a text message with full instructions and all the necessary information. The pitches are large and have electricity, the bathrooms and toilets are clean, and there's a bar right next to the campsite with a huge selection of beers and good food. I highly recommend it.

From the manager: Thanks for your lovely review, we hope to welcome you back soon.

If you want a quiet, peaceful camp site, this isn’t it.

Primitive grass tent campsite (solo)

Liked Friendly staff

Disliked Toilets and shower a bit dirty. Noisy place, maybe because a lot of people were also customers of the pub. Although the site at Dan Yr Ogof is bigger, it’s quieter and more comfortable.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Sorry if you found the place noisy and showers dirty. Most people comment on how quiet and clean the site is.

Local attractions

Hiking is a real highlight around here, whether you're keen to tick off the major sights or seek out quieter trails. Some of the popular spots nearby include Henrhyd Falls (10 minutes’ drive), the Four Waterfalls Walk (half an hour) and the trails taking you up South Wales’ tallest peak, Pen y Fan (half an hour). For more of an adrenaline rush, take yourselves to the all-weather trails of BikePark Wales (40 minutes) or ride the high-speed ziplines at Zip World Tower (20 minutes). All a bit too much? Settle for a quieter life with a visit to the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (five minutes), animal encounters at Wales Ape & Monkey Sanctuary (five minutes) or a tour and tipple at Penderyn Distillery (20 minutes). Change of scenery? Get down to the Gower Peninsula (around an hour) for beach days and coastal walks – places like Mumbles, Three Cliffs Bay and Rhossili are well worth the longer drive, and there are lots of lovely places to eat along the coast too.
