  • 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).

Liked The peace and quiet beside the babbling brook...
The donkeys,goats and sheep that you could stroke were great fun...
EHU,warm showers very clean,very friendly host...
Only stayed one night so didn't get to see the surroundings as weather closed in as well...
Just one note...really needs a pre warning sign along the road plus a bigger sign for the site...
Perfect for peace and quiet plus looks good for walking...

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked the facilities were great! the farm had goats and donkeys which we loved seeing, they were so cute! the notice board by the toilets and kitchen area has some very useful info on nearby restaurants, delivery services, taxi services, nature walks and more which was amazing!!!! we did the corm du and pen y fan circular hike nearby which was so beautiful and not hard at all, with amazon views. i thoroughly recommend camping here in general everything was 10/10

Disliked the only thing to bare in mind is the donkeys make very loud noises at night and can be unsettling if you haven’t heard it before or are a light sleeper, especially in the tent only area!

Recommend to friends Visit again

Great site, would go back again, on a different pitch.

Paul F. 1 review

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely, scenic position near a small river. Very convenient for Brecon itself (40 minutes walking).Quiet with plenty of space on the pitch. Staff very helpful.

Disliked Pitch had a path to the toilet/shower block next to it and people sometimes walked through the pitch to get to it. We were warned that this might happen when we chose the pitch (there was another one on offer). However, I think the path way could have been marked/signed more clearly and the pitch better protected with small shrubs or a fence - people were walking both sides of our van and we had a small group of lads sitting and chatting on a wooden table that was part of our pitch at one point. Only a small point, though.

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.
