  • Peaceful site on a private estate with listed buildings
  • A five-minute drive to Crickhowell and 35 minutes to Hay-on-Wye
  • Five-mile stretch of the River Usk for salmon and trout fishing
A peaceful Powys stay, with stunning surroundings and stacks of space? Make your way to Glanusk Caravan Park, where relaxing stays can be had in the historic grounds of Glanusk Estate, one of Wales’ largest privately owned estates. It's also rather gorgeous, with a fine collection of features like walled gardens and Celtic standing stones to wander around, and listed buildings including the splendid turreted Tower Bridge over the River Usk. And it’s not just the views right there on site that are pretty special – the estate is surrounded by the epic scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park, and has spectacular views up to the Black Mountains too. Country pursuits like cycling, pony trekking and canoeing can all be had nearby, and there’s easy access to these and other outings via the nearby A40 and B4558. Spending time on site is an equally fine prospect however – and that goes for dogs too, who are most welcome to join you here. Fishing for trout and salmon is available to book on the five-mile private stretch of the River Usk. Ask on site about local ambles too – one member of the team is a Brecon Beacons Ambassador and has lots more suggestions up their sleeves. For a short stroll, head towards the award-winning high street in the town of Crickhowell (40 minutes away on foot) to source provisions from the butcher's shop, bakery and restaurants or browse boutiques for antiques, clothes, gifts and books. Back at the park, an amenity building has disabled facilities, showers, underfloor heating, toiletries and hair dryers; other amenities include waste disposal areas, dog and bike-washing points, and wifi.

Liked Lovely campsite in a great location.
Clean.
Sauna including.
Great dishwashing facilities.

Disliked Shower cubicles are weirdly small, you have to leave your towel and everything else outside and just hope no one is there when you open the door to get it after your shower 😬
The end shower in the ladies stayed on for about 3-4 seconds so you almost have to hold it on, tricky whilst washing your hair.
Everything else was great.

Liked Stunning location, lots of places to walk my pup

Disliked Not really space in the shower rooms to change without risk of someone opening the door as its communal. The shower has a cubicle but small space. There was also a male visitor in the female toilet area - I think in error, but made me a bit reluctant to undress. I ended up getting up super early to reduce the risk of someone walking in whilst I was getting dry/dressed.

Stephen Y. 1 review

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Good sized pitches. Great location. Great walks. Easy access to Abergavenny for great shopping. Walkable pub - 30 mins - open Friday , Saturday, Sunday serving very good food.

Disliked Toilets and shower block floors need a good steam clean/scrub. Dust & soil walked in to tile pattern looks unsightly. Pity as the facilities provided would be great otherwise. No gas BBQ’s allowed !!! Huge fire pit burning tree logs and charcoal BBQ’s yes - even in the heatwave but no gas not even if off the ground - sorry but bonkers. Pathways could be better signposted and maintained. No meet & greet or face to face check in.

Route directions

Access to Glanusk Caravan Park is via the gates on the B4558 (Cwm Crawnon Road) as there is no access to the site from the A40. If you are approaching from the Brecon direction on the A40, do not turn right at Bwlch towards Llangynidr to access the site, as this will take you to a very narrow and impassable bridge. Instead, carry on past the main gates of the site, then turn right by the petrol station and head over the Crickhowell Bridge before turning right onto the B4558 (Cwm Crawnon Road).

Local attractions

Glanusk Caravan Park is within an International Dark Sky Reserve, the first International Dark Sky Reserve in Wales, so plan a bit of time to turn your eyes skywards after dusk – on a clear night you're bound to be treated to quite the display. For a taste of local history, take a trip to Blaenavon (25 minutes' drive), a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000 that's home to the Big Pit National Coal Museum, Blaenavon Ironworks, the World Heritage Centre and Blaenavon Heritage Railway. In Pantyscallog (half an hour), the Brecon Mountain Railway tells another historic story as it makes its way along the full length of Pontsticill Reservoir. For pubs, cafés and a small town with an award-winning high street, Crickhowell is within walking or cycling distance and hosts a walking festival, literary festival and numerous other events throughout the year. For more urban exploring, it's eight miles to Abergavenny, 12 miles to Brecon, 14 miles to Talgarth and 20 miles to Hay-on-Wye.
