  • 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, 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.

What customers say

Great views, friendly staff & clean facilities. Heated pool's a hit! Restaurant nearby. Some pitches are a bit sloped. Close to Brecon.

Liked Staff were very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Allowed us a late check-out for only £5 extra so that we didn’t have to rush to pack up too early.
The toilets/showers were clean, and well heated.
Loved the restaurant next door (Hills Brecon) - fantastic food and drinks (recommend the fruit ciders). Again the staff were very friendly and the views incredible.
Great location- just a 3 minute drive to Brecon town centre, and 30 minutes to the Four Waterfalls hike.
Cannot fault the site, we had a great stay ☺️

Liked Very friendly staff, good clean facilities, good dog walk, the first pitch we were allocated was very muddy and shaded, there was no hesitation on changing the pitch for a hard standing at no extra cost. Would recommend this site, well worth the stay.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked Bishops meadow is located on a hill with breath taking views across the valley to the hills and mountain. Outside is an amazing "Hills" resturant serving up some mouth watering burgers.
Outside the campsite is a bus stop very handy for getting up and down to Brecon.

Disliked Toilets/showers really need alot of attention as very run down and dated, a good clean might be a good start.
Pitch, when we booked we were given pitches 5&6 on arrival we were on piches in the 80s long walk for the toilets.

Liked We loved Bishops Meadows campsite. We stayed on the grass pitch with EHU. It was well kept,clean and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. All amenities were very well kept and clean. It’s a perfect base for Brecon town. We walked there and back a few times. Bus stop outside the gate if you don’t want to walk. Also the same bus can take you to the Storey Arms if you want to climb Pen Y Fan.

Disliked Nothing not to like.

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).
