  • Quiet dog-friendly site by the Four Waterfalls in the Brecon Beacons
  • A 20-minute drive to the base of Pen Y Fan; another waterfall nearby
  • Wood available to buy for firepits; shops and pubs a short drive away
Whether you’re hunting down the Four Waterfalls or taking the scenic drive to the base of Pen Y Fan, your break in the Brecon Beacons National Park will be off to a splendid start with a stay at Bryn Bwch. This quiet, dog-friendly site is a great base from which to go waterfall spotting, as it’s next to the Four Waterfalls and the Sgwd Yr Eira Waterfall is within walking distance too… and as you might expect from a site in the national park, there are stunning views from this place. Dogs and children are very welcome to use the site as their base, so simply set down with all the gang in the large, well-maintained field (which has some level sections and some with slight gradients or inclines) and park next to your tent. On the facilities front, there are four toilets and two showers to go around. For anyone who wants to light up their own firepit in the evening, wood can be purchased from the bungalow when you check in. Ready to take on South Wales’ biggest mountain? The car park for routes up Pen Y Fan is 20 minutes’ drive away. It’s a fair way up to the top, so to pick up any snacks for the climb, you might want to stop by in Glynneath first. A 10-minute drive away from the site, this town has shops for picking up supplies along with pubs to reward your climbing efforts. When you're looking for a pub slightly closer by, there's also one five minutes' drive away from the site.

What customers say

Stunning views, handy for Four Waterfalls & Brecon Beacons. Friendly owners, relaxed, dog-friendly vibe. Basic but clean facilities. Sloping pitches noted – bring blocks. Campfires/BBQs allowed. Occasional noise from campers/animals.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this campsite. The entire site was exceptionally clean and well cared for. The toilets and showers were spotless, with toilet paper always provided.

The owners were very friendly and welcoming. There was also a good area for washing kitchen equipment, with hot water available 24 hours a day, as well as plenty of well-maintained bins.

A lovely, clean and friendly campsite—we would definitely stay again.

Disliked None

Liked Facilities and location all great.

Disliked Very noisy, no checking on whether people were quieting down at night as they were meant to [& as we were told there would be], gates unlocked with cards coming in and people setting up in the small hours. A real shame.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Find your own pitch meant we could pitch up our 2 tents next to our friends. Great toilet/shower and washing up facilities. Camp-fires allowed, although we couldn't during our stay due to the wildfires! Close to walk to the waterfalls. Beautiful mountain scenery surrounding the area. They also had an enclosed paddock for the dogs to he off lead. Great stay had by all, plus we brought the much needed rain on our first night 🤣

Disliked No fault of anyone's but the weather as no rain for months meant the ground was so hard it was difficult to put the wind breakers in.

Local attractions

Break into the Brecon Beacons however you please… taste the whisky from the copper-pot stills on a tour of Penderyn Distillery Visitor Centre (15 minutes' drive) perhaps? Grab a co-adventurer and strap yourselves in for a one or two-person zipwire ride from the tower of a former Colliery coal mining site at Zip World Tower (20 minutes)? Or board the Brecon Mountain Railway (40 minutes) and make your way into the mountains on the original mountain line? Mountain biking might make it onto your itinerary in these parts, as there are a couple of options within driving distance of the site. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a newbie or a pro at BikePark Wales (35 minutes), as there are lots of different forest trails. Dare Valley Country Park and Gravity Family Bike Park (35 minutes) is another good option for families, especially those who are new to the game. At this site, you’ll only be a short drive from the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (25 minutes). Here, kids are likely to love the lifesized dinosaurs and the caverns. Plus, there are lots of things to learn about the history of the dinosaurs and other cool parts of the past in the museum and Iron Age farm.
