  • 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…)

Sarah L.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked A lovely small, quiet site, clean toilets and shower facilities within a stone built tiled floor building, surrounded by beautiful views, a very friendly and helpful owner as forgot tent pegs so had spare.

A pub and burger/gyros/kebabs at the front entrance with lovely staff a stones throw from campsite.

Will definitely use again with Dan yr Ogof Caves, Craig Y Nos castle, waterfalls and horse riding close by.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked It’s a lovely small site, so not too noisy. It has clean facilities. The owner is friendly and welcoming.
Being right behind a pub is an added bonus. The pub does great food and hosts many events.
The location is perfect as a base for walking in the Brecon Beacons but near enough to Swansea to visit the coast. Mumbles is well worth a trip.

Disliked I would be hard pushed to dislike anything.
The only slight criticism, if I had to make one, was that the pitch was slightly sloped and camping in a tent is always a bit more challenging on a slope

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.
