  • Family-run touring park just off the A4067 at Pen-y-Cae
  • Henrhyd Falls 10 minutes' drive; half an hour to Pen y Fan
  • Well-maintained heated bathroom block on site; pub next to entrance
Taking some time to explore the attractions of the Brecon Beacons National Park? Bag a berth at Brecon Beacons Touring Park and you’ll be making your base at a family-run park that’s in an excellent Powys position for getting out and about to see the stunning scenery of the southern and western parts of the park. Just off the A4067 between the villages of Pen-y-Cae and Ynyswen, when you stay at this park, you’ll be well placed for visits to the nearby waterfalls, climbs of Pen y Fan and trips underground at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales. There are heaps of hiking and bike trails nearby to follow (just note, cycling isn't permitted on site) – and if that's not enough to keep you busy, well, you can always set off for the seaside, as the beaches of the Gower Peninsula are less than an hour's drive away. This isn't a park with a long list of facilities, but what has been provided is well designed and well maintained – including the bathroom block, which has heating, a baby changing area and accessible facilities. There’s also a chemical disposal point and a washing-up area, and you’ll be allowed to bring along an off-ground barbecue to do your alfresco meals (although, in another handy location bonus, there also happens to be a food pub a couple of minutes’ walk away…) Children's play areas are at the local villages (both less than half a mile away). Remember, this is a countryside location, so you may encounter midges and other flying insects; it's recommended to pack insect repellent and keep fly screens closed.

What customers say

Great spot in the Brecon Beacons! Peaceful, amazing views. Toilets/showers spotless, modern. Fab for walks and waterfalls. Pub's a winner for food/vibe. Friendly staff. A few note pub noise/uneven pitches, but reviews are excellent.

Unpowered grass tent site (solo)

Liked Facilities. Toilet / shower block was really clean and well maintained. Pitches were reasonably flat. Warm welcome and good communication.

Disliked The pub on the corner was a bit noisy and the music lasted a bit longer than I’d expect. The shower was a little underpowered but did the job.

Liked It was on a great spot.nice to have a pub on site .very friendly staff at the campsite ,kept clean.

Disliked One camper thinking he owned the water tap, had a hose stuck on it so may it difficult to get the water and then they put a lock on it so no-one could use it,so i think that was very selfish off them!!!

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Love the location and returned again this year. Its ideal for my needs, not overly crowded and having both the pub and little Briton next it gave us access to decent and quick food. Burgers were lush.

I think the showers and bathrooms are adequate too.

Disliked Not much to dislike. A budget friendly and respectful campsite. Maybe a few cobwebs in the bathrooms but not within reach or dropping on you.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Will definitely stay there again if going to Brecon Beacons

Liked Cute little campsite with large pitches, conveniently located for Henrhyd Falls (walking distance) and the four waterfalls trail (around half an hour by car). Almost non existing light pollution at night, which is perfect for stargazing. Pub on site which is a plus. Toilets and showers were always very clean, and the stuff super friendly and helpful!

Local attractions

Hiking is a real highlight around here, whether you're keen to tick off the major sights or seek out quieter trails. Some of the popular spots nearby include Henrhyd Falls (10 minutes’ drive), the Four Waterfalls Walk (half an hour) and the trails taking you up South Wales’ tallest peak, Pen y Fan (half an hour). For more of an adrenaline rush, take yourselves to the all-weather trails of BikePark Wales (40 minutes) or ride the high-speed ziplines at Zip World Tower (20 minutes). All a bit too much? Settle for a quieter life with a visit to the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (five minutes), animal encounters at Wales Ape & Monkey Sanctuary (five minutes) or a tour and tipple at Penderyn Distillery (20 minutes). Change of scenery? Get down to the Gower Peninsula (around an hour) for beach days and coastal walks – places like Mumbles, Three Cliffs Bay and Rhossili are well worth the longer drive, and there are lots of lovely places to eat along the coast too.
