  • 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, friendly hosts, and a chilled vibe are highlights. Owners are praised for helpfulness and the farm animals are a hit. Facilities are clean & adequate, though basic. Single loos/showers can be tight when busy, and the access road is narrow.

Liked Friendly owner and daughter, welcoming and helpful. Location - very quiet, lovely views and walk from the site. Hot water for showers. Compost toilet in the camping field.

Disliked Steep steps on path to the washroom down below were a bit muddy and slippy. Compost toilet needed a proper daily clean.

Liked Chris the host was really good, really helpful. We had an issue with our van breaking down so came down the following day with a tent, really helpful in accommodating us with no extra fees. Facilities were good, great views and local knowledge.

Disliked Couldn’t park the car next to the tent which was difficult getting it back up to the camping field as it was so slippery. Chris couldn’t really help that!!
Consideration of allowing awnings due to the inclement weather?

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked The views, stunning. The local dogs, cockerels and peacocks, beautiful. The one toilet I used was clean!

Disliked Road noise, Green Man Festival rave in the middle of the night and the lack of toilets. The one near the tent was out of use due to the lack of water cos of the drought but even if it was in use, it's not enough if there are a lot of people. The one we used (by the house) was great but not close enough and had a shower, so if the shower was in use you wouldn't have access to the toilet.

If all was working I still think it was over priced.

From the manager: So sorry that we were not available when you arrived at the site. You were obviously not informed about the new facilities in the new barn which are within 100 m of the Camping field. The toilet on the field is purely a compost facility which does not need water and there taps with water adjacent to this toilet if required. In total there are four toilets, Three electric showers which are not restricted and we have never had this problem in the past so I apologise for not being made aware of the full facilities we have an offer and the fact that we were unable to meet you and inform you of the many walks and special features we have at our unique site, hope you return to enjoy all the facilities next time

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.
