  • Wild camping on a smallholding in the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • A 15-minute drive to Llangorse Lake; 20 to Black Mountain Activities
  • Animals to meet on site; pubs five minutes’ drive
A spot of wild camping in the Brecon Beacons National Park anyone? That’s pretty much what you’ll get at The Alltimate View, and very aptly named it is too, being on the side of All Hill with long-reaching views across Powys hills to the River Usk. And despite its peaceful and remote setting, the site is really easy to get to, being only a one-minute drive from the A40.
 The few simple grass pitches are on a smallholding located between pretty riverside Brecon (15 minutes’ drive) and historic Crickhowell (10 minutes), and are something of a haven for hikers and cyclists, as trails and bridle paths lead straight out into Brecon Beacons National Park and the Black Mountains.
 No-frills amenities cover a shower and loo, charging facilities and a communal fridge and freezer for keeping all your foodie bits and pieces fresh. Pick up barbecue supplies in Brecon or skip the self-catering lark altogether and head straight for the canal-side pubs in Talybont-on-Usk (five minutes).
 Back on site, you may well find yourself sharing space with the owners’ cheeky peacocks, chickens and ducks, as well as cute-as-anything, rare-breed Ryeland sheep.

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: We loved our stay here, it’s very rustic. It’s a laid back place to stay full of beautiful animals, perfect for our little girl. The owner was lovely & provided us with a camp fire, logs & a BBQ pack which was absolutely lovely. Facilities were basic but just what you needed. The peacocks were fabulous. And the view, well it’s just beautiful. On this night we were the only people to stay so the owner allowed us to set up our camp how we liked, super friendly and accommodating.

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Amazing view, super friendly host, loads of animals around, and great walks up through the hills and fields.

Disliked: It was busy holiday weekend, and they packed 6 vans on to the hard standing area, which basically left no room to between each other. To the point we needed to setup our sitting area and fire pit in front of the van. The site says 3 motorhome spots which would have been perfect and comfortable for all, however it felt like they are trying to get as much money out of this tiny hard standing area as they can. Also, for £35 a night I don't want to wait in queue to use a single toilet.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: It was a challenge this weekend with most other sites shut due to the weather !!! We had several enquiries from many people who were desperate to have somewhere to go , and we did let several people down , but we did not pack them on for our own benefit , we were simply trying to help those few we could - but sorry it was busy and the weather did force several campers to use our shower and toilet on the firm yard as opposed to the toilet and shower up the field which usually removes the issue of a queue for WC , however we are sorry that your stay was crowded and not as comfortable as you wished - hopefully next BH more sites will be open.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Chris was friendly and chatty throughout our visit which was very welcoming. The pitch we were offered near the hard standing was great, level and very comfy. Chicken eggs were available to buy during our stay which was a bonus.

Disliked: The site was quiet when we visited but having both the one toilet and shower in the same room meant we had to wait to use it a few times.

Local attractions

If it’s time to get active in the bracing Brecon Beacons air, pack yourselves off to Llangorse Multi Activity Centre (10 minutes’ drive) to test your mettle on rope courses and indoor climbing walls (the latter is a useful option if the weather turns on you) or go pony trekking on heather-covered foothills. There are several golf courses within 20 minutes’ drive, while competitive types can race each other around the off-road track at Battle MX (20 minutes) motocross track. Black Mountain Activities (20 minutes) is the place for all things water-related – here you can have a go at canoeing and gorge walking. For gentle family-friendly ambles with scenic views, Llangorse Lake (15 minutes) has waymarked trails around its shoreline, while the track through dramatic Clydach Gorge (25 minutes) leads past an old tramway to the long-abandoned remains of ironworks and quarries. To delve into local history, take a tour of the monumental Norman tower and mellow-stone medieval mansion at Tretower Court and Castle (10 minutes) – once the hangout of Welsh bards – and if you fancy a day rummaging in the bookshops of Hay-on-Wye, the market town is a half-hour’s drive away.
