  • Simple and scenic farm site in the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • A 15-minute drive from Brecon and walks up Pen y Fan
  • Dog-friendly pitches with a minimum guest age of 14
Small, simple and surrounded by stunning scenery – that’s the setup at Pwllyn Farm Camping, part of a farm in the Brecon Beacons. This spot is full of rural atmosphere but it’s handy to note that it’s only a 15-minute drive to Brecon (a journey that runs along A roads all the way). Pitches at this peaceful Powys location are small in number, well spaced and designed to make the most of the setting: they’re mown around the edges of around 20 acres of hay and wildflower meadows, with lovely views over surrounding hills and fields towards Pen y Fan. Facilities on site include five toilets, two showers, two washing-up areas, a charging point for mobile phones, a communal fridge and freezer for your icepacks. A communal cooking area and eating area with stoves and utensils is also provided. There is a cassette toilet/black waste disposal point, and all taps on the farm provide drinking water. Rubbish and recycling can be placed in the large red bin by the campers' barn. Firepits are available to hire on site for a small charge, or you are welcome to bring your own as long as they are raised off the ground and do not scorch the grass. Getting out to see more of the gorgeous surroundings is easy from here: footpaths run directly from the farm onto Mynydd Illtyd Common or up onto the nearby hills for some stunning scenery. If you’re up for stretching your legs further, there are miles of footpaths and bridleways to wander along in the area. Dogs are welcome to stay at Pwllyn Farm as long as they’re accompanied by a responsible owner; the quiet atmosphere of the site also means that it’s only suitable for guests aged 14 and over.

Liked: Amazing location, so quiet and peaceful. The barn was really handy for relaxing in and making some hot food. Toilets were clean and so we're the showers. Friendly gentleman running the place and all the other guests were very friendly too.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: The whole experience was amazing from the start, when getting emails to help guide us to the campsite, so when arriving it felt simple after the drive there. while there we were greeted with campsite owner with some helpful insight on where to park for the best time. the fields were kept well maintained and lovely to see that it was kept grow in the middle for the wildlife. the pitch we set up on also overlooked the views of the mountains which included Pen Y Fan. you can also choose to have a firepit which the owner will cycle round to you once you have got your set up ready. The main central point was easy to access with great facilities that are kept maintained daily. They also have their own shop for stuff either for your fire or a good range of food you might need while you are staying. On the walls round the chill out barn it had images of all the wildlife you might encounter on any of your hikes.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Really stunning site loved being able to go wherever we wanted on site as not many people allow that anymore and can be strict on where people park but this site was great we drove around found just the right spot with the best view.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: This has to be one of the most beautiful sites we've ever stayed at. Gorgeous views from every pitch, and so much space to 'get away from it all'. Wonderful walks to be had straight from the campsite into wonderful countryside, without touching a road. The facilities are excellent, there is a spacious lounge and kitchen barn with a well stocked honesty shop. We really can't wait to return!

We arrived on the Monday of a bank holiday weekend, and the rush was definitely over - bliss.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: The atmosphere, communal area and the views! In a great location with walks from the campsite. Although there was a sign to say the campsite was full, there was still so much space for everyone.
Fire pits are allowed (for hire or bring your own) and dog friendly too! One of our favourite campsites.

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

Being in the Brecon Beacons National Park, there are of course heaps of fabulous walking routes around. A good place to start for ideas is the visitor centre 20 minutes’ walk away, and it’s also possible to head straight out from the farm to locations like Fan Frynych mountain or Craig Cerrig-gleisiad nature reserve – both of which are about an hour and 15 minutes away on foot. Time your strolls to bring you to Mynydd Illtyd Common late in the day, as it’s often treated to some spectacular sunsets. Other popular hiking spots nearby include the fabulous Four Falls Walk (25 minutes’ drive) and Craig-y-Nos Country Park (20 minutes). You might also like to tackle a climb of Pen y Fan (15 minutes) or head to Llangorse Lake (20 minutes) for a day of watersports. For a break from all this activity, head to Brecon (15 minutes) for a tour of the cathedral and Regimental Museum of The Royal Welsh, go underground at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (20 minutes) or take a couple of drams of Welsh whisky on a tour of Penderyn Distillery (20 minutes).
