Lower Porthamel Camping

Gostou We thoroughly enjoyed our stay—it was absolutely perfect. The gentleman who welcomed us was exceptionally polite and helpful. We especially appreciated his thoughtfulness in reserving a spot near the entrance, making it much easier for us since we were only staying for one night. The shower and toilet facilities were very clean, and we felt completely safe throughout our visit.

Gostou Really lovely campsite. The owner was great, really friendly and laid back!
I loved that cars weren’t allowed on the orchard. So nice to be at your tent and not have cars rolling past to their tent!!

Não gostou Due to the apples on the floor, there were a lot a flies around, so just make sure you keep your fly net up on your tent door!

Gostou We loved the location of the camp site (15 minutes drive from Hay On Wye, and easy access to the rest of the Brecon Beacons). Each plot felt very secluded amongst the apple trees, with plenty of room for our 6 man tent, and a little table and chairs set up around the fire pit provided by the site.

I’d recommend camping whilst the taproom is open on Friday and Saturday. The ciders and beers on offer were incredible, and the charcuterie boards went down a treat. Shower toilet and wash up facilities were great, and while we did not use it, the covered area with the fridge, freezer, and charging ports was used by many of the other campers and seemed to be a good space.

The owners were very helpful throughout our stay. We enjoyed our stay so much we stayed an additional night and will definitely be returning.

Gostou Lovely quiet camping spot. The pitches are well spread between the apple trees and the site is so pretty. The camp was full but it was so peaceful. There's a bar on site with apple juice made at the farm and lagers etc. We had a few and went back to our pitch for a bbq. Its set in just the right place, not far from shops and a 15/20 minute drive to Brecon town if you wanted to venture out.
There are toilets, showers,communal fridges, a pizza oven and charging outlets to use. Perfect mix between beautiful outdoor camping and having the essentials on hand to make your stay easy and comfortable.
The host was lovely and the whole place has a relaxed easy going vibe.
I was a bit worried about trekking from the car park to the pitch with all of our stuff but im glad we couldn't have cars in the orchard as it would have spoilt it. There are wheelbarrows for you to bring everything from the carpark over and its a minutes walk anyway. I cant wait to come back again.

Gostou Lovely setting in the orchard. It really felt quite unique and part of a working farm too. The cider and cheese board provided by our host Adrian was just great. Thanks for a lovely time for Dad and Daughter.

Gostou The solitude of the site. The staff were very friendly & helpful. The toilet facilities were clean & adequate for our needs. The free use of the barbeque & the firepits were great.

Não gostou Clearer directions to the camp site & information about where to pitch for late arrivals would be useful. Access to food preparation area would also have been useful.

Gostou After a long and tiring day hiking in the Brecon Beacons, Lower Porthamel Camping was the perfect place to rest for the night. The site is peaceful, quiet, and felt very safe—just what I needed after a full day outdoors.

All the essential facilities were available, including clean shower rooms, and secure parking. One thing that really stood out was how clean the entire campsite was. Visitors are expected to manage their own rubbish, which encourages everyone to keep the space tidy and respectful—something I really appreciated.

Overall, it’s a well-maintained, no-fuss campsite that I’d definitely recommend to anyone exploring the area.

Gostou Beautiful location amongst the apple trees, with basic, but clean and well maintained, facilities. Loved the tap room, serving artisinal ciders and beers made at the farm. Also the cheese and charcuterie boards served in the tap room are fantastic.
Fire pits, logs and kindling are available to allow you to finish your day, gazing into the flames.

Não gostou There is nothing to dislike in my opinion.
