  • 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 around to follow as well – 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…)

What customers say

A clean, friendly, well-kept site near the Brecon Beacons. Praised for spotless restrooms, spacious sites, and helpful staff. The pub next door is a big plus for food and vibe. Mostly quiet, but pub noise can sometimes be heard. Great value and location!

Sarah D.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Very friendly staff. Very clean facilities. Great to have the pub really close! The picnic benches were useful to use when the weather was changeable (so we didn't have to get our chairs in and out all the time!). Great location for attractions.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed our clean facilities, I’m always trying to improve or add so I may try to get more picnic benches for customers to use next season.
We look forward to seeing you again.

Mark Robert B.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely location, 10 mins drive to the waterfalls (in a van) which is a great walk and explore.
Facilities were perfect.

Disliked Lots of groups of loud people. But that's to be expected over a bank holiday weekend. We had no major issues with this, but not a place for a 'quiet camp'

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed the waterfall and area, sorry about the loud people but bank holidays do tend to be louder than general weekends. There is a curfew and as a general rule, people do adhere to this.

Lovely host and great facilities. In…

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked Lovely host and great facilities. In a brilliant location for seeing the beautiful sites of Wales.

Disliked The entrance to site has a gate but this remains unlocked and open so less secure. Other noisy guests.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed the welcome and facilities sorry you had some inconsiderate people next to you, I did have a word with them.

Victoria W.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Lovely spacious pitches, quiet location with nearby river and waterfall walk which was very enjoyable.
Lady on site was very helpful and friendly.
Toilets and showers were never too busy.

Disliked Showers were occasionally lukewarm, this was more late evening but morning and early afternoon seemed to be ok.
There could be some cleaning equipment in the toilet/shower block so people could clean up after them selves.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed area. As I’ve previously mentioned, I’m sorry if you e had a lukewarm shower but if there have been a load of people using the showers on the bank holiday weekend the water needs time to reheat.
Looking forward to your return visit.

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.
