Pytingwyn Woods

Ik was blij met Sheltered amongst the trees with a stream running by this was an idyllic place to try out some basic wild camping. With only 6-7 camping slots in which some sites might cram in 30, it offered a very friendly and bespoke atmosphere. The weather was particularly kind which added to the enjoyable experience. Campers were allowed to harvest wood from the forest and use it to have that classic camp fire in one of a number stone fire places sited next to each pitch. The only facility as such was a compost toilet which for some may take getting used to but was clean and had adequate supplies of toilet paper and antiseptic spray. The stream was more that adequate to wash up utensils etc. David, the owner came around once a day to greet new arrivals and ensure everyone was settled in and was very accommodating in terms of requests and advice about the local area - many thanks David. Some of the pitches next to the trees allowed hammocks to be put up which was great if you have kids.
Overall we had a perfect couple of days and many thanks to David for creating that opportunity to get back to basics and chill out.

Ik was blij met Lovely little site: choice of field or woodland pitches. Perfect if you want to get away from it all (but Brecon is just a short drive away). Super handy for hiking in Brecon Beacons.

I absolutely loved it as solo camper + dog, but great for families too.

Ik was blij met Nice tranquil setting a short drive out of Brecon town on a secluded lane. Nice calm friendly horse on site, host relaxed and rightly so proud of this riverside haven.
Some people decided to pitch right on the river bank we chose the wind break of the hill to pitch. Fire rings are provided so use at your own risk, we had a fire every night but had sand and water on board to put it out out. Also take care going over the little bridge take your time and use your mirrors I got my Renault traffic van across no problems. Amazing place to look at the stars too as no light pollution whatsoever. Beautiful for star gazing. Really great place and also has a compost toilet onsite for your convenience which did not smell
If you follow the rules (scoop of sawdust after each use)

Ik was blij met We absolutely loved our camping experience. We went for the weekend. Friday to Sunday. We arrived Friday evening and there were 3 other campers in the field and 3 campers in the woods. The 3 campers in the field left early on Saturday morning so we had the field to ourselves until Saturday evening when 3 other campers arrived. We took our 2 dogs with us and they loved running around the field and we didn't have to worry about our dogs bothering other people.

Ik was niet blij met Not sure if there is a gun range close but we heard gun shots. One of our dogs doesn't like loud bangs so she was anxious from the first gun shot and kept going into the car to try to get away from the bangs.

Ik was blij met The location was great, we were down near the river in the woodland, plenty of space.

We met Dave the owner and George the horse. Dave was very welcoming and gave us since if the history of the location.

Ik was blij met Pytingwyn was a great rustic campsite. Really felt like wild camping in the woods. Beautiful small river for the kids to play in. Very basic, but if you are used to camping it shouldn't be a problem.

Ik was niet blij met Weather 😂

Ik was blij met Upon arrival in the campsite we realized how lovely it is. It is a decent size main field with lots of room to park a car and set up a tent, a very short walk into the woods and you find yourself with an amazing view of the river. We had a very private camping trip as there were only 2 other tents with us on the whole campsite our kids loved sleeping in the woods by the river with a campfire in the evening! With fishing allowed on site our kids have had the opportunity to experience fishing for the first time in their life, unfortunately we found that no fish were present in the river which didn't really matter as we only wanted for our kids to experience the activity.

Ik was niet blij met Might have to watch your step as we found quite a bit of horse manure around the campsite, some of the flat spaces where a tent would fit perfectly was instead unusable due to manure on the ground.

Van de manager: Thank you for the review. I am sorry I missed you. I would have been able to accommodate you for an extra night which I believe you would have liked. 2 expected arrivals did not turn up.

Hope to see you another time.⛺️
