  • Small family-friendly site in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons
  • Just off the A470, a 10-minute drive from Brecon
  • Peaceful setting next to woodland with a small stream running through
Stand by for action… Rhydywernen Farm Camping Site’s fab family farm location is in a most handy spot for getting out into the Brecon Beacons National Park for days of hiking, mountain biking, horse riding, canoeing, gorge walking and pretty much any other activity you’re up for in this part of Powys. And then, stand by for chilling out… for this is a most peaceful location, with spacious pitches backing onto woodland and a small river that’s prime territory for such classic country pursuits as skimming stones and poking about with little fishing nets in search of minnows. Away from the water's edge guests are encouraged to meet the site's miniature donkeys, helping to feed them and put them to bed in the evenings. Barbecues with a backdrop of the Brecon Beacons are of course a fine way to sort dinner on site (firepits are available to hire, with firewood to buy). If the weather’s not up to it (or you’re just in the mood to let someone else do all the work), there are plenty of pubs, cafés and restaurants up the road in Brecon. Work up an appetite for your eats with an hour-long stroll along quiet country paths, or get in the car for the easy 10-minute journey to town along the A470 (also a handy road for getting to other corners of the national park or heading across country to the north or south). Please note this is a family-friendly site: no open fires, no bad language and no loud music after 10.30pm please. Facilities on site include toilets, a washing-up area and hot showers (just take note that during popular times, the water pressure may be a little lower than usual).

What customers say

This friendly, popular farm campsite offers a great base for exploring the Brecon Beacons. Guests love the clean facilities, spacious sites, and pretty riverside location. Kids adore the farm animals. Easy access to hikes and Brecon town. A few mention road noise and occasional facility queues. Highly recommended for a peaceful, scenic escape.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Friendly welcome and clear details about the bins, facilities, directions to places etc. Choice of fields which are not too massive but still have plenty of room for your own pitch. Babbling river running alongside the campsite gives charm and serenity.
Facilities were spot on (kettle, fridge, freezer, microwave) especially very clean sinks. Plenty of loos and showers so no waiting.

Liked This campsite absolutely exceeded all expectations. The locations to pitch are amazing, nicely spread out and large open fields. The showers and toilets were spotless and nice hot showers!
The owners were so welcoming and customer service was brilliant, we bought some firewood that was delivered to our pitch. And we also were able to purchase some ‘neon flame’ powder, which was just great touch to our nighttime campfire.
The animals that are on site are just the perfect touch, you are encouraged to meet them.

Local attractions

So much activity awaits in the Brecon Beacons National Park: pick a gentle hike around woods and waterfalls if you want, or get stuck in to scaling Pen y Fan (25 minutes’ drive away and southern Britain’s highest mountain). Horse riders can saddle up at the stables 10 minutes away, while those who like to zoom around on mountain bikes can get some speed up at BikePark Wales (25 minutes). The outdoorsy antics don’t end there – Brecon’s something of a hub for such things, and activity centres around the town can sort you with rafting, canoeing, high ropes courses and gorge scrambling. All sound a bit too exhausting? Take a more leisurely ride on the Brecon Mountain Railway (25 minutes) before heading home via the Penderyn whisky distillery (20 minutes). Break out of the Beacons for trips to some of the area’s other attractions: Llandovery Castle is half an hour away, as is the book-loving town of Hay-on-Wye. A little further north but worth a trip are the lakes of the Elan valley and the red kite feeding station in Rhayader; both are around an hour’s drive away.
