  • Family-run touring park just off the A4067 at Pen-y-Cae
  • Henrhyd Falls 10 minutes' drive; half an hour to Pen y Fan
  • Well-maintained heated bathroom block on site; pub next to entrance
Taking some time to explore the attractions of the Brecon Beacons National Park? Bag a berth at Brecon Beacons Touring Park and you’ll be making your base at a family-run park that’s in an excellent Powys position for getting out and about to see the stunning scenery of the southern and western parts of the park. Just off the A4067 between the villages of Pen-y-Cae and Ynyswen, when you stay at this park, you’ll be well placed for visits to the nearby waterfalls, climbs of Pen y Fan and trips underground at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales. There are heaps of hiking and bike trails nearby to follow (just note, cycling isn't permitted on site) – and if that's not enough to keep you busy, well, you can always set off for the seaside, as the beaches of the Gower Peninsula are less than an hour's drive away. This isn't a park with a long list of facilities, but what has been provided is well designed and well maintained – including the bathroom block, which has heating, a baby changing area and accessible facilities. There’s also a chemical disposal point and a washing-up area, and you’ll be allowed to bring along an off-ground barbecue to do your alfresco meals (although, in another handy location bonus, there also happens to be a food pub a couple of minutes’ walk away…) Children's play areas are at the local villages (both less than half a mile away). Remember, this is a countryside location, so you may encounter midges and other flying insects; it's recommended to pack insect repellent and keep fly screens closed.

 James l. 3 reviews

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked A brilliant camping weekend at this site! From the moment we arrived, everything felt well looked after, especially the excellent toilet facilities, which were great, and always clean throughout. The grassed plots were a real highlight too; they were spacious, level, and a pleasure to pitch on.

Location-wise, it’s spot on. The pub was incredible, great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a fantastic night with live music that made the whole weekend feel lively but relaxed. There’s also a local shop just yards away, which was really handy, and a great coffee house nearby for those morning boosts.

What really sets the place apart, though, is the surrounding scenery. The walks are stunning, with routes that make it easy to step into nature and enjoy the views. Overall, it felt like a tranquil bliss kind of spot, peaceful, beautiful, and perfect for switching off.

I’ll definitely be returning, can’t recommend it enough.

Disliked Nothing to dislike. Fantastic place.

Primitive grass tent campsite (solo)

Liked The site was clean and the lady who checked me in was friendly. Good location with a pub basically on site

Disliked The site was too ‘mainstream’ for my liking. However, nothing to fault the site, just too many people, too close together, music playing etc.

would definitely recommend this to anybody.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked The location was ideal for walking and nature lovers. The hard standing pitch was almost level and was adequate in size. Excellent welcome from Jannine and the cost was competitive. Lovely toilet/shower block. The Ancient Britain provides a variety of very nice bar meals.

Disliked The site was very busy due to it being the first weekend of the school holidays and the local pub had live music outside until late on. I believe this only occurs during summer and at weekends.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Clean campsite with the use of facilities available. We stayed here as the pub on the same grounds as the campsite had a band on in the garden.
Friendly owners and if you have chance, make sure you have a Sunday lunch. It is one of the best around.

Local attractions

Hiking is a real highlight around here, whether you're keen to tick off the major sights or seek out quieter trails. Some of the popular spots nearby include Henrhyd Falls (10 minutes’ drive), the Four Waterfalls Walk (half an hour) and the trails taking you up South Wales’ tallest peak, Pen y Fan (half an hour). For more of an adrenaline rush, take yourselves to the all-weather trails of BikePark Wales (40 minutes) or ride the high-speed ziplines at Zip World Tower (20 minutes). All a bit too much? Settle for a quieter life with a visit to the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (five minutes), animal encounters at Wales Ape & Monkey Sanctuary (five minutes) or a tour and tipple at Penderyn Distillery (20 minutes). Change of scenery? Get down to the Gower Peninsula (around an hour) for beach days and coastal walks – places like Mumbles, Three Cliffs Bay and Rhossili are well worth the longer drive, and there are lots of lovely places to eat along the coast too.
