  • Quiet dog-friendly site by the Four Waterfalls in the Brecon Beacons
  • A 20-minute drive to the base of Pen Y Fan; another waterfall nearby
  • Wood available to buy for firepits; shops and pubs a short drive away
Whether you’re hunting down the Four Waterfalls or taking the scenic drive to the base of Pen Y Fan, your break in the Brecon Beacons National Park will be off to a splendid start with a stay at Bryn Bwch. This quiet, dog-friendly site is a great base from which to go waterfall spotting, as it’s next to the Four Waterfalls and the Sgwd Yr Eira Waterfall is within walking distance too… and as you might expect from a site in the national park, there are stunning views from this place. Dogs and children are very welcome to use the site as their base, so simply set down with all the gang in the large, well-maintained field (which has some level sections and some with slight gradients or inclines) and park next to your tent. On the facilities front, there are four toilets and two showers to go around. For anyone who wants to light up their own firepit in the evening, wood can be purchased from the bungalow when you check in. Ready to take on South Wales’ biggest mountain? The car park for routes up Pen Y Fan is 20 minutes’ drive away. It’s a fair way up to the top, so to pick up any snacks for the climb, you might want to stop by in Glynneath first. A 10-minute drive away from the site, this town has shops for picking up supplies along with pubs to reward your climbing efforts. When you're looking for a pub slightly closer by, there's also one five minutes' drive away from the site.

What customers say

Amazing views & location near waterfalls & Brecon Beacons. Campers loved the friendly hosts, relaxed vibe, & dog-friendliness. Facilities are clean/adequate but basic. Watch for sloping ground (bring blocks!). Campfires/BBQs allowed. Occasional noise from campers/animals reported.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lots of space, facilities well maintained, toilet/shower blocks regularly cleaned and stocked up. Plenty of hot water for showers and washing up. A great basic site in a great location. Walking distance to waterfalls walks. Easy access to shops by car, and great pub 1.5miles away.

Disliked No playground, and sloping field not so good for ball games.

Liked Hot showers

We had a lovely stay! Quite rainy but that's the beacons!!! A fairly slopey pitch, but generally fine as long as you're sensible.

Disliked Loo roll ran out so bring your own - common sense!

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Absolutely loved this site. Great location to walk to the Four Falls Trail. The site itself was lovely and chilled. The owners were so nice and helpful and gave us different walk options.
The facilities were clean and plenty of toilets and showers, we never had to wait. Great washing up facilities.
It wasn’t overly busy when we were here so it was very peaceful. I would definitely return.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked The simplicity yet everything you need is there, the views of the valley, the access to wonderful walks, the friendly owners that came around for a chat.

Disliked Guest who use the washing up facilities and leave them a mess; food in the drain, on the floor and the drying rack.

Local attractions

Break into the Brecon Beacons however you please… taste the whisky from the copper-pot stills on a tour of Penderyn Distillery Visitor Centre (15 minutes' drive) perhaps? Grab a co-adventurer and strap yourselves in for a one or two-person zipwire ride from the tower of a former Colliery coal mining site at Zip World Tower (20 minutes)? Or board the Brecon Mountain Railway (40 minutes) and make your way into the mountains on the original mountain line? Mountain biking might make it onto your itinerary in these parts, as there are a couple of options within driving distance of the site. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a newbie or a pro at BikePark Wales (35 minutes), as there are lots of different forest trails. Dare Valley Country Park and Gravity Family Bike Park (35 minutes) is another good option for families, especially those who are new to the game. At this site, you’ll only be a short drive from the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (25 minutes). Here, kids are likely to love the lifesized dinosaurs and the caverns. Plus, there are lots of things to learn about the history of the dinosaurs and other cool parts of the past in the museum and Iron Age farm.
