  • Small family-friendly site in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons
  • Just off the A470, a 10-minute drive from Brecon
  • Peaceful setting next to woodland with a small stream running through
Stand by for action… Rhydywernen Farm Camping Site’s fab family farm location is in a most handy spot for getting out into the Brecon Beacons National Park for days of hiking, mountain biking, horse riding, canoeing, gorge walking and pretty much any other activity you’re up for in this part of Powys. And then, stand by for chilling out… for this is a most peaceful location, with spacious pitches backing onto woodland and a small river that’s prime territory for such classic country pursuits as skimming stones and poking about with little fishing nets in search of minnows. Away from the water's edge guests are encouraged to meet the site's miniature donkeys, helping to feed them and put them to bed in the evenings. Barbecues with a backdrop of the Brecon Beacons are of course a fine way to sort dinner on site (firepits are available to hire, with firewood to buy). If the weather’s not up to it (or you’re just in the mood to let someone else do all the work), there are plenty of pubs, cafés and restaurants up the road in Brecon. Work up an appetite for your eats with an hour-long stroll along quiet country paths, or get in the car for the easy 10-minute journey to town along the A470 (also a handy road for getting to other corners of the national park or heading across country to the north or south). Please note this is a family-friendly site: no open fires, no bad language and no loud music after 10.30pm please. Facilities on site include toilets, a washing-up area and free hot showers.

Sam O. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: The facilities were spot on, exactly what you need when staying in more of a remote spot. The fact the site was on a working farm made it even better, being able to enjoy the animals the owners keep on the farm. The owners were friendly with great contact details listed on a notice board, with local spots also listed. I would highly recommend this site to campers that enjoy the peace and quiet of a more rural site.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Nice, level pitch no need for our ramps! Peaceful, right next to a lovely stream. My elderly parents were allowed to visit for lunch which was much appreciated! And we found a great walk with a footbridge over the river & through the woods, idillic location.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Nice location close to Brecon, next to the river. Quiet place next to woodland on a working farm. Donkeys and sheep on the fields nearby! Free range eggs on sale. Nearby road is busy but not too bad. Great facilities with hot showers, very clean.

Disliked: Could be more loos/showers if it’s busy. We were staying in the early summer, not too crowded, so all good.

Shane S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: New clean large toilets & 4 showers; washing-up area with warm water; fridges, kettle and a microwave available; Very friendly; beautiful; recycling avaliable; plenty of walks; working farm with animals to see; wifi; streams and walks right next to it

Disliked: Only 2 proper toilets ( no idea why the 3rd toilet is a urinal only) vs 4 showers... no idea why to invest in 4 showers, which are rarely used, but queues at toilets in morning and evening. Ditch the urinal and one shower for extra toilets- would be perfect

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello, thank you for your comment. We do have four toilets on site. Not just two.

Excellent site, would stay again when camping in the Brecons!

Local attractions

So much activity awaits in the Brecon Beacons National Park: pick a gentle hike around woods and waterfalls if you want, or get stuck in to scaling Pen y Fan (25 minutes’ drive away and southern Britain’s highest mountain). Horse riders can saddle up at the stables 10 minutes away, while those who like to zoom around on mountain bikes can get some speed up at BikePark Wales (25 minutes). The outdoorsy antics don’t end there – Brecon’s something of a hub for such things, and activity centres around the town can sort you with rafting, canoeing, high ropes courses and gorge scrambling. All sound a bit too exhausting? Take a more leisurely ride on the Brecon Mountain Railway (25 minutes) before heading home via the Penderyn whisky distillery (20 minutes). Break out of the Beacons for trips to some of the area’s other attractions: Llandovery Castle is half an hour away, as is the book-loving town of Hay-on-Wye. A little further north but worth a trip are the lakes of the Elan valley and the red kite feeding station in Rhyader; both are around an hour’s drive away.
