  • Peaceful site on a private estate with listed buildings
  • A 10-minute drive to Crickhowell and 35 minutes to Hay-on-Wye
  • Five-mile stretch of the River Usk for salmon and trout fishing
A peaceful Powys stay, with stunning surroundings and stacks of space? Make your way to Glanusk Caravan Park, where relaxing stays can be had in the historic grounds of Glanusk Estate, one of Wales’ largest privately owned estates. It's also rather gorgeous, with a fine collection of features like walled gardens and Celtic standing stones to wander around, and listed buildings including the splendid turreted Tower Bridge over the River Usk. And it’s not just the views right there on site that are pretty special – the estate is surrounded by the epic scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park, and has spectacular views up to the Black Mountains too. Country pursuits like cycling, pony trekking and canoeing can all be had nearby, and there’s easy access to these and other outings via the nearby A40 and B4558. Spending time on site is an equally fine prospect however – and that goes for dogs too, who are most welcome to join you here. Fishing for trout and salmon is available on the five-mile private stretch of the River Usk. Ask on site about local ambles too – one member of the team is a Brecon Beacons Ambassador and has lots more suggestions up their sleeves. For a short stroll, head towards the award-winning high street in the town of Crickhowell (40 minutes away on foot) to source provisions from the butcher's shop, bakery and restaurants or browse boutiques for antiques, clothes, gifts and books. Too far? Stay on site and order a luxury hamper packed with locally produced goodies – let the team here know in advance and they'll sort out delivery to your pitch. Back at the park, an amenity building has disabled facilities, showers, underfloor heating, toiletries, towels and hairdryers; other amenities include waste disposal areas, dog and bike-washing points, and wifi.

What customers say

A grand, spick-and-span site in lovely countryside. Praised for its peace, grand pitches & great facilities like a sauna. Loads of walks from the door by the canal/river. Grand location, but some had poor Wi-Fi or small showers. A few noise complaints were sorted by the management.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Beautiful very peaceful location. Excellent, spotlessly clean, heated facilities.

Disliked The only thing that would improve this site for tent campers would be an under cover area with a table or two, to take shelter from the rain.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Good sized pitches. Very peaceful site. Pleasant walk along canal and/or river to Crickhowell. Plenty of other longer walks from the site. We really enjoyed using the sauna.

Disliked The pub that was supposed to be a cider mill was a bit of a let down if you were after some local draught ciders.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked This place is beautiful. The toilet block is amazing.

It was a last minute book so I didn't know there was a sauna and communal fire pit which was a nice surprise.

Lots of lambs around, slept very well.

I was travelling with my partner, but I would have felt safe here as a woman alone.

Disliked It would have been good to have a discount for not using electric hookup, as our van is off grid :)

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Quiet site, large flat pitch.

Disliked Our name wasn't on the board saying what number our pitch was, so not so straightforward. Only two toilets in each block, luckily the site wasn't full. Pushbutton shower, so doesn't stay on for long. The WiFi didn't work on our pitch.

Route directions

Access to Glanusk Caravan Park is via the gates on the B4558 (Cwm Crawnon Road) as there is no access to the site from the A40. If you are approaching from the Brecon direction on the A40, do not turn right at Bwlch towards Llangynidr to access the site, as this will take you to a very narrow and impassable bridge. Instead, carry on past the main gates of the site, then turn right by the petrol station and head over the Crickhowell Bridge before turning right onto the B4558 (Cwm Crawnon Road).

Local attractions

Glanusk Caravan Park is within an International Dark Sky Reserve, the first International Dark Sky Reserve in Wales, so plan a bit of time to turn your eyes skywards after dusk – on a clear night you're bound to be treated to quite the display. For a taste of local history, take a trip to Blaenavon (25 minutes' drive), a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000 that's home to the Big Pit National Coal Museum, Blaenavon Ironworks, the World Heritage Centre and Blaenavon Heritage Railway. In Pantyscallog (half an hour), the Brecon Mountain Railway tells another historic story as it makes its way along the full length of Pontsticill Reservoir. For pubs, cafés and a small town with an award-winning high street, Crickhowell is within walking or cycling distance and hosts a walking festival, literary festival and numerous other events throughout the year. For more urban exploring, it's eight miles to Abergavenny, 12 miles to Brecon, 14 miles to Talgarth and 20 miles to Hay-on-Wye.
