  • Friendly site on the edge of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park
  • A mile from Brecon town centre; 15 minutes' drive to Pen y Fan
  • Heated outdoor pool and sports field on site; restaurant next door
Just on the edge of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, you’ll be in a splendid spot to explore when you stay at Bishops Meadow Holiday Park. This mid-sized Powys park is in a very handy location just over a mile from Brecon, so you’ll be able to walk into town in around 25 minutes, get the bus from the stop just outside or drive down there in just a few minutes. Taxis are also available for a fairly affordable rate if you fancy having a nice meal out or a few drinks in one of the town’s cosy pubs. That said, you won’t have to go all the way into town if you don’t fancy it, as this site just happens to be next door to one of the area’s most popular restaurants, specialising in big tasty burgers. Rather cook your own meals? You’re welcome to bring a barbecue along and pick up supplies at the shops in town; there are also various essentials for sale at the site’s shop (including ice creams for a sweet treat). This is a place that prides itself on its friendly atmosphere, with the staff doing their best to ‘make sure guests are having the nicest time possible’. Helping to contribute to that are the site’s facilities, which include a heated outdoor pool (open from mid-May to September), a play area, a dog-walking path and a field with football and rugby goalposts for those who’d like to get a game going. You’ll also have access to useful things like a launderette, a chemical disposal point, toilets and showers.

Not far to walk into brecon

Disliked Pub in site

Children riding electrical bikes about 30mph down the field
I'm a police officer and you can tell speed they were travelling very unsafe.

Liked Fantastic location with great views. Clean amenities and a 30min walk from Brecon town

Disliked We booked as two adults and a dog with no children our allocated pitch was right next to the play area. So not much peace and quiet over the weekend as the kids up we're up from 6am.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Ceri,
Thank you for leaving us review. We only have 6 electric grass pitches. We had a group of 4 grouped together. Then the 2 electric pitches together which you was on. If you booked a gravel pitch, we could pitch you on further away from play park. Hopefully see you both and your lovely dog again soon.
Regards
Bishops Meadow Holiday Park.

Liked Fabulous site absolutely enjoyed our stay at Bishops Meadow, the staff were very welcoming and friendly giving helpful information about the area and always there if you need them , the facilities were clean and well kept there is a lovely swimming pool and a bus stop with regular service to Brecon town just across the road. There is also a restaurant and bar next to the site famous for their delicious burgers. Will definitely be going back.

Liked Very clean toilet and shower facilities
Staff really friendly and helpful

Disliked We were next to a van with sliding door that seemed to be going all night - but nothing the site can do about that 🤣🤣


The shower cubicles could do with some hooks to hang clothes

Recommend to friends Visit again

Would 100% stay again may well plan to return next year.

Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Amazing views!

Well located for easy access into town and anywhere your planning to visit in the beacons.

Facilities are super clean and well looked after. Very friendly and inviting team.

Disliked Minor but one to think about for future investment, if you are camping in the field / medow area it is a bit of a walk back up to the toilet / washing up block

Some smaller toilets placed centrally would be great.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind review, we're so glad that you enjoyed your stay here with us and hope to see you again soon!!

Local attractions

Brecon is a fairly small town, but it’s got plenty for the visitor – you may like to pay a visit to the cathedral, see the Royal Welsh Regimental Museum or explore the handful of art galleries here. There are also some lovely walks from town along the banks of the River Usk or the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, and shows and concerts at Theatr Brycheiniog. The area around the town is packed with outdoor activities, including fishing, horse riding, mountain biking and watersports; the best way to find out about all of these is to ask site staff or consult the information folder in the office. Of course the national park has walks galore too, including the popular Four Waterfalls Walk (half an hour’s drive away) and the ascent of Pen y Fan (15 minutes). Other outings nearby might take you to an alpaca walk with Alpaca My Boots (15 minutes), a trip underground at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (half an hour) or to learn about the past at Big Pit National Coal Museum (45 minutes).
