Wild camping pitches

  • Wild camping on a smallholding in the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • A 15-minute drive to Llangorse Lake; 20 to Black Mountain Activities
  • Animals to meet on site; 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.
 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.

Liked: Location is great, Chris was a great character and very helpful and welcoming - we were in a campervan with friends pitched up nearby. The shower was hot, washing up facilities basic but worked fine, the views are amazing. There's no wifi and limited phone signal - but it's a great place to unplug. Recommended!

Disliked: Really nothing to be concerned about. A second shower / toilet would be useful but for a small site, it's not a deal breaker.

It's a drive or reasonable walk to get to nearby pubs or shops, but that shouldn't put you off

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: We spent a week here with our adult kids and friends, and overall, it was a great experience. The campsite itself is on a hill, which gave us some amazing views from our tent — something we weren’t expecting but loved. To our surprise, we were the only campers for most of the week, even though it was half-term! The farm animals were a big hit, and we also had the chance to grab fresh eggs for a donation, which was a nice touch. The host was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. He also gave us some great tips on local walks and attractions.

Disliked: The main downside for us was the camper bathroom. None of us dared to try the shower, and honestly, we never saw anyone using it. It was in a trailer together with the composting toilet, so it had an unpleasant smell, was full of flies, and the water temperature was either way too hot or freezing cold (the gas heater kept overheating, only used for washing up in the sink). Plus, having only one shower and one toilet for multiple families felt a bit cramped. It would also be nice to have a few more hangers in the bathroom, and maybe a small bench to put towels, clothes, and toiletries on. It would be great if the washing up sinks were sheltered under the roof so washing up was a bit less unpleasant in the rain.

The campsite itself has only a few fairly level pitches, and if you have a big tent, it can be tricky to find a good spot. Also, the road leading up to the pitches is pretty steep, so if you don't have decent tires, it might be a challenge.

From the manager: Sorry that the shower toilet was not too your liking
We are still evolving and do have improvement plans
However we do try and maintain and protect the unique and rural nature of the camping field and permanent structures and covered washing areas is something that might spoil the balance
However we will look to improve what we provide and thanks for the suggestions -

Excellent site, great location, helpful and friendly host.

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.
