  • 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.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked I love the facilities that they put on on behalf of the campus, including the lovely hot showers, the communal cooking area in the barn and the washing facilities for people to either wash clothes or dishes.
Very thoughtful and looks like there’s more improvements ahead for 2027!!

Disliked I know we want to get away for a break and sometimes we don’t want to be slaves to The mobile phone, but sometimes it will be nice to have the opportunity all the option to get on the worldwide Web and perhaps capabilities should be offered or available.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked One of our favourite campsites with stunning views and a real calmness, this was our fourth time visiting. It's a real treat to get a pitch with views out to Pen Y Fan and Corn Du and we were glad to see the banning of campfires this time around with the dry heat and drought over a lot of the UK. We can't wait to return again next year!

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked An AMAZING campsite. The views are stunning. When you arrive, you are left to pick your own pitch which we found tricky as every field has a beautiful meadow in the middle and mature hedging around it. It feels so calm and peaceful. The showers, toilets, cooking area in the barn and sinks are really clean. The barn is a fabulous, welcoming space with everything you need to make a meal if you are travelling light or if you just need a larger inside space to relax. The friendly owners were around enough that if you did have an issue, you could find them. The honestly shop looked well-stocked. We would definitely recommend it.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked This campsite was super peaceful with great facilities. Toilets/showers were cleaned daily, with a communal fridge and stove perfect for cooking. Our spot had an amazing view and we enjoyed every second.

Disliked The campsite is quite remote, which is great for peacefulness, but does mean most places you want to go to you need to drive. This wasn't an issue at all for us as we had a car, but just making you aware of this situation.

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).
