  • 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 nearby to follow (just note, cycling isn't permitted on site) – 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…) Children's play areas are at the local villages (both less than half a mile away). Remember, this is a countryside location, so you may encounter midges and other flying insects; it's recommended to pack insect repellent and keep fly screens closed.

What customers say

Top site, lovely spot! Spotless facilities, great showers. Staff and owner Janine are a gem. Perfect for Brecon Beacons. Pub nearby can be noisy at times, and a few pitches are uneven. Showers sometimes aren't piping hot. Still, a grand place for a break.

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.
