  • Family-orientated farm site in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons)
  • A 35-minute drive to Pen y Fan; 10 minutes to Pwll y Wrach waterfalls
  • Peaceful atmosphere and basic amenities near the village of Felindre
Newcourt Farm Campsite is a back-to-basics site in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. In a designated dark skies area, it's a great base for stargazing and just three miles away from the scenic river Wye, a lovely spot for exploring by canoe or kayak and taking a stroll along the banks. Hike the national park's highest mountain, Pen Y Fan, which is within 35 minutes' drive of the site or head to the Pwll y Wrach nature reserve (10 minutes' drive away) or Waterfall Country (an hour's drive) for waterfalls. The farm has clean showers, toilets and a washing-up area. Supervised school trips and groups such as Duke of Edinburgh Award seekers are welcome, but no late-night revellers please. The site is dog-friendly.

What customers say

Stunning views, spacious sites, and friendly owners. Basic, clean facilities, though showers/toilets are limited & need 50p coins. Pitches can slope; portable toilets mixed reviews. Peaceful rural escape, good value.

Andrea E.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked We loved the views! Lots of space to cook. We are light campers and perhaps easily pleased so I guess you could say maybe some of the facilities were modest but it has everything you need. Definitely our sort of place and the atmosphere was really nice. We booked the day before and there was plenty of availability so we love that places like this exist for us hikers who rely on weather windows.

Disliked Not anything that can be held against the site itself, the stunning views do come at the expense of slightly sloping pitches but the owner/manager seems to know exactly where to put people based on their set up so we have no complaints.
Porter loos were as you would expect for an August bank holiday weekend so take that as you will.

Liked The big open spaces and beautiful views. Lovely friendly owner.

Disliked Showers need to be updated asap. One was broken and the other didn’t work for me and a few other visitors on the last day of a busy bank holiday

Liked Simple and beautiful. Gentleman at reception showed us our pitch and the facilities and left us to enjoy our evening. stunning sunset over the hills. Perfect for my mum and I to have a little camp before a long walk in Bannau Brycheiniog.

Liked Great back-to-basics camping with stunning scenery, dark skies, and helpful staff. Great value for an overnight stop.

Disliked Showers & toilets are a bit of a walk from the camping area, only one male shower for the whole site (not sure about female).

Local attractions

Your boots will be made for walking: this corner of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park has footpaths and trails all around to warm you up before tackling the hill walks and mountains, and all in a spectacular part of Wales made up of valleys, waterfalls, caves and open countryside. There are a couple of walks direct from Newcourt and two long-distance trails cross through the farm: the Offa’s Dyke Path on the eastern border of the national park and the Taff Trail running south from Brecon. The Brecon Beacons Park Society has a full programme of guided walks in the park from moderate to strenuous, and there are lots of routes and maps available from the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority (or just ask Newcourt Farm owner David to point you in the right direction). The national park’s also where you can get your fill of climbing, birdwatching, caving, canoeing, sailing and other outdoor options; a visitor centre six miles from Brecon has all the info you might need as well as courses and events like pottery workshops and navigation training. Also around are several Sustrans routes for cyclists as well cycle hire and cycle tour guide companies; mountain bikers have five mountain bike centres and 14 trails from yellow (level one) to ‘killer black’ (bring plasters). Wheels on tour can cycle the Lôn Las Cymru, the route from Cardiff to Holyhead via Brecon (use route 42). After all that, you hereby have permission to curl up with a book: buy your tomes at the town of books, Hay-on-Wye, about half an hour from Brecon.
