  • Welcoming wild camping site in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park
  • Two miles to a trail up Pen y Fan; Four Waterfalls a half-hour drive
  • Meadow pitches with on-site walks; home-cooked meals on Friday night
Ca’s Camping is in pole position for anyone keen to get out and about in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (formerly the Brecon Beacons). Situated on the edge of the mountains, with glorious views right from your tent, this is wild camping in a peaceful, flat meadow on an organic farm with dairy cows, free-range hens and ponies. The dogs get to come on your Welsh adventure too (on leads please), and you can exercise them in the designated 2.5-acre meadow adjoining the camping field, which has a stream running through the middle for family splashings around. A 10-minute walk in woodland takes you to waterfalls on a tributary of the Tarrell River. Pick up barbecue supplies from handy supermarkets in Brecon (10 minutes’ drive, check out the historic cathedral too), where there are also masses of pubs, fish and chip shops and takeaways for those nights when no-one wants to cook. If you’re staying on a Friday night, eat on site at Ca’s Citchen, when the owner cooks a tasty farmhouse supper (with dessert) made from locally sourced produce. Eat outside under the pergola or take your food back to your pitch. On Saturday evenings, weather permitting, guests can also join Ca for a food experience in the woodland near waterfalls. Simple site facilities include a toilet and shower block (installed for the 2025 season), a washing-up area and rubbish recycling points. An added bonus is the standpipes providing drinking water straight from a spring in the mountains.

Sue R.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Beautiful 360 degree scenery and liked that we could pitch up where we wanted on level ground. The shower units were clearly newly fitted and with lots of powerful warm water. Liked the recycling centre and enjoyed the peace and quiet

Disliked There was only one shower each for male and females but we still had to queue when there were only 6 camping groups on site. We liked being able to recycle but there was nowhere to dispose of general rubbish eg. Sanitary products (no bins in the ladies). The new showers have a light that comes on with a sensor but it goes off when you are in the shower as the sensor is focussed on outside movement only. There is clearly a wasps nest behind the panel in the dishwashing area that really needs looking at. There is no option for emptying Elsan toilets

Amazing views, toilets and shower were clean, owner friendly loved it

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Wide open field so ample room to pitch up with out being on top of the tent next to you. Nice clean toilet blocks aswell. Ground was reasonably flat. So made for pitching up a lot nicer. Although it rained on our stay vehicles had no problems with getting stuck on the grass

Disliked Showers are limited

Local attractions

The site is actually in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, so lots of hiking and cycling will probably be on the cards. You can start on the trail up Pen y Fan (two miles’ walk from site) for spectacular views over mountain ridges to the horizon. Another classic local yomp leads up to the Four Waterfalls (half an hour’s drive); get more outdoor inspiration from the National Park Visitor Centre (15 minutes). When something less hardcore is required, pedal or stroll along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal (10 minutes); otherwise there’s a golf course within five minutes’ drive and an indoor pool at Brecon Leisure Centre (10 minutes) – a handy diversion for any rainy days. Younger kids will doubtless love meeting all the cuddly animals at Cantref Adventure Farm, while teens can hone their off-roading skills at BattleMX (both 15 minutes). The National Showcaves Centre for Wales (25 minutes) is another great option for family days out, with its subterranean tours, dinosaur walks and recreated Iron Age village.
