  • Small family-friendly site in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons
  • Just off the A470, a 10-minute drive from Brecon
  • Peaceful setting next to woodland with a small stream running through
Stand by for action… Rhydywernen Farm Camping Site’s fab family farm location is in a most handy spot for getting out into the Brecon Beacons National Park for days of hiking, mountain biking, horse riding, canoeing, gorge walking and pretty much any other activity you’re up for in this part of Powys. And then, stand by for chilling out… for this is a most peaceful location, with spacious pitches backing onto woodland and a small river that’s prime territory for such classic country pursuits as skimming stones and poking about with little fishing nets in search of minnows. Away from the water's edge guests are encouraged to meet the site's miniature donkeys, helping to feed them and put them to bed in the evenings. Barbecues with a backdrop of the Brecon Beacons are of course a fine way to sort dinner on site (firepits are available to hire, with firewood to buy). If the weather’s not up to it (or you’re just in the mood to let someone else do all the work), there are plenty of pubs, cafés and restaurants up the road in Brecon. Work up an appetite for your eats with an hour-long stroll along quiet country paths, or get in the car for the easy 10-minute journey to town along the A470 (also a handy road for getting to other corners of the national park or heading across country to the north or south). Please note this is a family-friendly site: no open fires, no bad language and no loud music after 10.30pm please. Facilities on site include toilets, a washing-up area and hot showers (just take note that during popular times, the water pressure may be a little lower than usual).

What customers say

Nice, quiet farm stay with plenty of space, clean loos, and a great river spot. Owners are helpful, easy to get to Brecon and hikes, and the farm animals are a bonus. Hot showers, decent kitchen, and good Wi-Fi. Loads of people want to come back!

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Arrived with our tentbox. You could choose where in the field to pitch up. We were in the field with the shower and toilet block. Very clean and well maintained.
Kitchen area was great, washing up, microwave, fridge and freezer.
Bonus a baby donkey was born the morning we arrived. Cuteness over load.
You can go and say hi to the donkeys and goats they are so well cared for. Surrounded by lovely countryside. We will be back.

 Gillian S. 1 review

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The whole site is run very well.
I loved feeding carrots to the donkeys.(after asking itt was ok)
We liked the quietness, cleanliness and the facilities.

We usually only stay for one night on a site, but it was so lovely and close to Brecon , but still very rural, we stayed for 3 nights

We got a warm welcome on our arrival.

We were told there was a walk to a waterfall which i did with our dog.

Disliked The water in the showers ran away from the plughole making a bit of a flood at the door end. A squeegee was provided, so not a serious issue, just a shame in what is obviously a nice fairly new shower block.

Local attractions

So much activity awaits in the Brecon Beacons National Park: pick a gentle hike around woods and waterfalls if you want, or get stuck in to scaling Pen y Fan (25 minutes’ drive away and southern Britain’s highest mountain). Horse riders can saddle up at the stables 10 minutes away, while those who like to zoom around on mountain bikes can get some speed up at BikePark Wales (25 minutes). The outdoorsy antics don’t end there – Brecon’s something of a hub for such things, and activity centres around the town can sort you with rafting, canoeing, high ropes courses and gorge scrambling. All sound a bit too exhausting? Take a more leisurely ride on the Brecon Mountain Railway (25 minutes) before heading home via the Penderyn whisky distillery (20 minutes). Break out of the Beacons for trips to some of the area’s other attractions: Llandovery Castle is half an hour away, as is the book-loving town of Hay-on-Wye. A little further north but worth a trip are the lakes of the Elan valley and the red kite feeding station in Rhayader; both are around an hour’s drive away.
