  • Wild camping on a smallholding in the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • A 15-minute drive to Llangorse Lake; 20 to Black Mountain Activities
  • Animals on site; walks from the pitches and pubs five minutes’ drive
A spot of wild camping in the Brecon Beacons National Park, anyone? That’s pretty much what you’ll get at The Alltimate View, and very aptly named it is too, being on the side of All Hill with long-reaching views across Powys hills to the River Usk. And despite its peaceful and remote setting, the site is really easy to get to, being only a one-minute drive from the A40.
 The few simple grass pitches are on a smallholding located between pretty riverside Brecon (15 minutes’ drive) and historic Crickhowell (10 minutes), and are something of a haven for hikers and cyclists, as trails and bridle paths lead straight out into Brecon Beacons National Park and the Black Mountains.
The site is also in an International Dark Sky Reserve, making it a prime spot for stargazing far away from city lights; guests have spotted meteors on particularly special nights. No-frills amenities cover a shower and loo, charging facilities and a communal fridge and freezer for keeping all your foodie bits and pieces fresh. Pick up barbecue supplies in Brecon or skip the self-catering lark altogether and head straight for the canal-side pubs in Talybont-on-Usk (five minutes).
 Back on site, you may well find yourself sharing space with the owners’ cheeky peacocks, chickens and ducks, as well as cute-as-anything, rare-breed Ryeland sheep.

What customers say

Stunning views, peaceful vibe. Hosts are lovely & helpful, facilities are clean, and walks are close by. Farm animals are a bonus. Basic but ideal for a quiet getaway, guests want to return. Single toilet/shower block is noted but manageable.

Dave R.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Just got back from a weekend with my 6 year old boy staying here. We both loved it. We pitched our tent on a conveniently flat grassed area with incredible views. It was quiet and peaceful apart from the welcome sounds of the campsites wildlife (which were a great sight for my boy). The campsite is simple and felt like a wild camp but still has the use of toilet and shower and washing up station. I will happily use again. There is no entertainment for children but that is exactly what I wanted for myself and my son. Simple, back to basics campsite with the right level of comfort for a close to wild weekend

Liked Beautiful little spot. Quiet and peaceful. The stars were beautiful on our one clear night ... but we did visit in February. The owners are friendly and willing to help out where they can. They were very welcoming. There's also a nice little food van situated at the bottom of the hill serving burgers and baps etc...

Liked Absolutely loved this campervan site. The host was genuinely welcoming and made everything feel easy from the moment we arrived. The amenities were spotless and thoughtfully set up—everything you’d want without any fuss. And the view? Honestly perfect. Waking up to that scenery alone is worth the trip. Peaceful, well cared for, and one of those places you immediately want to return to. Highly recommend.

Liked We had a lovely stay at Alltimate View. The site was very easy to find with clear directions, and the owner was incredibly friendly and helpful. He really went out of his way for us, even offering to drop us at a local pub and making sure we knew our way back, which was such a thoughtful touch. The site itself is clean and well maintained, with good showers, electric hook-up and access to clean water. A peaceful spot with great hospitality — we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and would happily recommend it.

Liked Beautiful location. Great facilities. Peaceful and private. Friendly owner. Leveled pitches for motorhomes/campervans. Great walks closeby with cafe/pubs.

We turned up quite late in the day, met Chris who couldn't have done more for us. He even helped us fill our motorhome up with water as we were first timers. Checked in at various times to make sure all was okay. Lovely modern facilities with gorgeous hot showers! Cute sheep/cows/chickens are always nice to see as well.

Disliked Absolutely nothing. (There is a relatively steep (but short and doable) countryside lane to enter the location but this isn't a dislike, just to inform others to prepare for their journey)

Local attractions

If it’s time to get active in the bracing Brecon Beacons air, pack yourselves off to Llangorse Multi Activity Centre (10 minutes’ drive) to test your mettle on rope courses and indoor climbing walls (the latter is a useful option if the weather turns on you) or go pony trekking on heather-covered foothills. There are several golf courses within 20 minutes’ drive, while competitive types can race each other around the off-road track at Battle MX (20 minutes) motocross track. Black Mountain Activities (20 minutes) is the place for all things water-related – here you can have a go at canoeing and gorge walking. For gentle family-friendly ambles with scenic views, Llangorse Lake (15 minutes) has waymarked trails around its shoreline, while the track through dramatic Clydach Gorge (25 minutes) leads past an old tramway to the long-abandoned remains of ironworks and quarries. To delve into local history, take a tour of the monumental Norman tower and mellow-stone medieval mansion at Tretower Court and Castle (10 minutes) – once the hangout of Welsh bards – and if you fancy a day rummaging in the bookshops of Hay-on-Wye, the market town is a half-hour’s drive away.
