  • 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.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: This is such a great site in an idyllic location. Set next to the river it feels close to nature.
The owners are incredibly kind and helpful always. We had forgotten our gas for a stove but they had some spare to sell us as well as a fire pit and some logs.
The best thing was baby donkeys.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Showers, loos and kitchen area were all very good. Spacious pitches. Burbling stream. Handy for hiking locations and Brecon town (2 miles away). Wifi. Lovely owners and handy (limited) supplies available from farmhouse.

Disliked: No hostelries within a short walk, which may or may not be a problem for you.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: We had a great stay.Two fields for camping and plenty of space in the motorhome field for our camper van. Firepits available if you wanted them. All the staff were friendly. The toilets and showers were new and very clean. There was also a fridge, freezer and kettle for everyone's use if needed. The wifi worked really well.
We liked looking at the baby goats and donkeys too!
A short drive from Pen y Fan. Good food up the road at the T'air Bull Inn.

Disliked: Nothing

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.
