  • Friendly site on the edge of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park
  • A mile from Brecon town centre; 15 minutes' drive to Pen y Fan
  • Heated outdoor pool and sports field on site; restaurant next door
Just on the edge of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, you’ll be in a splendid spot to explore when you stay at Bishops Meadow Holiday Park. This mid-sized Powys park is in a very handy location just over a mile from Brecon, so you’ll be able to walk into town in around 25 minutes, get the bus from the stop just outside or drive down there in just a few minutes. Taxis are also available for a fairly affordable rate if you fancy having a nice meal out or a few drinks in one of the town’s cosy pubs. That said, you won’t have to go all the way into town if you don’t fancy it, as this site just happens to be next door to one of the area’s most popular restaurants, specialising in big tasty burgers. Rather cook your own meals? You’re welcome to bring a barbecue along and pick up supplies at the shops in town; there are also various essentials for sale at the site’s shop (including ice creams for a sweet treat). This is a place that prides itself on its friendly atmosphere, with the staff doing their best to ‘make sure guests are having the nicest time possible’. Helping to contribute to that are the site’s facilities, which include a heated outdoor pool (open from mid-May to September), a play area, an off-road bike trail, a dog-walking path and a field with football and rugby goalposts for those who’d like to get a game going. You’ll also have access to useful things like a launderette, a chemical disposal point, toilets and showers.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked Lovely small site with clean showers, toilets, communal kitchen, outdoor pool,not open till May but looked great! Very close to Brecon, we walked into town in about 20min. 25min drive to Pen YFan. Great location. They had a burger van Fri and Sat night, plus we saw an ice cream van onsite. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I had some issues and they gladly helped me.

Disliked Really can't think of any dislikes. It was really lovely!

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked Great start to the camping season, large clean pitch with a fantastic view of Pen y Fan. Toilet block was spotlessly clean, as was the whole site. Staff were very friendly and helpful, providing longer hook ups for those further from the electricity points. There was a fast food van on site on the weekend which was very tasty and there is a licensed restaurant nearby. It’s a 20 min walk to Brecon town centre which is always worth a visit. Will definitely be returning in the summer

Disliked Nothing to dislike as such

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked Really lovely campsite. Excellently maintained and the showers and cleaning blocked were perfect. Had everything we needed. Manager was great and he changed our pitch before we arrived and placed us in the corner as we had an awning and the weather was due to be very stormy. Meant we got through the storm unscathed unlike some others on the site.
Was really quiet as well despite being busy and bank holiday weekend.
Lovely restaurant on site as well.
All in all we couldn't have asked for anything more. We will be back.

Disliked Nothing.

Liked Spacious pitches, with electric and water. Very clean heated shower block. Hills Restaurant next to site, shame it was closed for the afternoon we went and fully booked for sunday, very busy, looked lovely to. Beautiful views from the upper part of the site, lovly walks to and around brecon, only a short drive away from pen y fan.

Disliked We stayed at the bottom pitches, bit of road noise but didn't spoil our stay.

Local attractions

Brecon is a fairly small town, but it’s got plenty for the visitor – you may like to pay a visit to the cathedral, see the Royal Welsh Regimental Museum or explore the handful of art galleries here. There are also some lovely walks from town along the banks of the River Usk or the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, and shows and concerts at Theatr Brycheiniog. The area around the town is packed with outdoor activities, including fishing, horse riding, mountain biking and watersports; the best way to find out about all of these is to ask site staff or consult the information folder in the office. Of course the national park has walks galore too, including the popular Four Waterfalls Walk (half an hour’s drive away) and the ascent of Pen y Fan (15 minutes). Other outings nearby might take you to an alpaca walk with Alpaca My Boots (15 minutes), a trip underground at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (half an hour) or to learn about the past at Big Pit National Coal Museum (45 minutes).
