  • 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…)

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Liked the location of the site, cleanliness of the toilets,hot showers , washing up area, a nice quiet area. A busy campsite but lots of space, hard standing and grass. Very peaceful. Janine (the owner)was very friendly and helpful. The Ancient Britain pub is in front of the campsite. Great food, service and beer. Also another nice pub (Pen y Cae) 10 mins walk away. A great place to stay for trekking in the Brecon Beacons. Dark skies area, and on a clear night it's amazing!

Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Nice toilet block, owner very friendly and helpful giving us details of good local walks. Very near to a nice pub, quite pricey but staff very pleasant too. Weather had been bad so we were moved to a hard standing pitch which was very much appreciated by us and the grass. Great location for lots of attractions and walks nearby.

Disliked: The weather!

From the manager: Thanks for your lovely review, hopefully we’ll welcome you back when the weather is nicer

Perfect for families/couples. Very Welcoming staff!

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: This is a lovely peaceful site close to some beautiful walks. Facilities are clean and modern and the people running the are friendly and easily contacted. There is a public house almost next door to the site (The Ancient Briton) which serves excellent food, (always advisable to make a booking). The pub has an outdoor area and kitchen doing Pizza's and burgers There are also some shops a short walk away if you need any supplies. I highly recommend this site and will be using it again.

Disliked: A really minor point, as is common with most sites some pitches are slightly sloping. if your in a motorhome it is worth having some ramps (some pitches are more level than others). I am not talking about slopes but if your fridge is sensitive having ramps would help.

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.
