Pitches in the beautiful Brecon Beacons!

Located in the Brecon Beacons National Park (Bannau Brycheiniog), this 5-star Adults Only caravan park and campsite offers tourists the ideal base for exploring both Mid and South Wales! Be it the breathtaking mountain scenery of the National Park, the magnificent Gower coastline, or beautiful Waterfall Country, all are within easy driving distance. For tents, grass pitches are available. These are non-electric as a standard, though a limited number of electric hook-ups are available at an extra cost on a 'first-come-first-served' basis only. Fully-serviced hardstanding pitches welcome trailer tents, roof tents, campervans, caravans and motorhomes. These include 16 amp electric hook-ups, fresh water, and grey water waste. Just a stone's throw away is Dan-yr-Ogof, the National Showcaves Centre for Wales. Discover beautiful cave passageways and formations in three awe-inspiring caves, the Shire Horse Centre and farm, replica Iron Age village, coffee shop and gift shop, and more! For those whose holiday expectations include climbing mountains, walking behind incredible waterfalls, exploring mysterious gorges, or visiting a castle clinging to the top of a cliff, there are few better locations from which to choose. Four-legged friends can join in the fun too, with up to two dogs permitted per pitch. There is even an outdoor wash for muddy paws or bike wheels! In the evening, you are welcome to cook over a fire pit or BBQ, just please ensure these are always raised from the ground. Please note that campfires are not permitted anywhere on site.
