  • 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…)

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: the views from the campsite were beautiful

Disliked: toilets were dirty, never seemed to be clean. very noisy pub right next door was expecting a quiet campsite in the middle of nowhere. pub kicked out and a group came back to camp was shouting and laughing till 2am. not told to be quiet. i wouldn’t usually care but had a mountain to climb in the morning. to top it off loads of midges everywhere so got bitten like mad( obviously not the campsite fault but just topped it off!!) pitches aren’t level so if it rains all rain water gathers in one side of tent.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: Excellent amenities on site and close by. Plenty of locals shops m/supermarkets within 10/15 minute drive, a convenience store a 4 minute walk away. A great pub on site with a burger/pizza van. I drove to a few places, but you could easily avoid using the car. Facilities itself were great - toilet and shower block were immaculate - washer/dryer on site for those longer stays too. The site was nice and quiet - everyone was respectable and friendly.

Disliked: N/A

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.
