  • 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 neat, friendly campsite in a lovely rural spot. Guests love the big pitches, spotless loos with hot showers, and nearby pubs and walks to waterfalls. Staff, especially Janine, are super helpful. Some pitches need blocks, and showers can be a bit tepid in busy times.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Spacious pitches which were relatively level. Drive over grey waste disposal. Really nice pub on entrance of the site with good food and ale, and another lovely pub within 10 minutes walk. Fires allowed on the site. Good walks from the campsite, one to a waterfall. 5 minutes walk to a well stocked shop.

Disliked Only 3 showers available, which weren't hot enough and a bit small, couldn't keep clothes dry whilst in the shower and the block wasn't heated.

Alison M.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Very spacious pitches and very clean and warm shower/ toilet block. Check in was easy and everything was explained clearly. I didn't use the cleaning facilities as I had food in the pub next to the site. Lovely food - would recommend booking a table in advance if you want to eat there.

Disliked Welsh weather! Haha

Would have liked to have seen a fire wood/ kit for sale as there are few shops locally.

No wifi but I had full 4G signal on 02

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.
