  • 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…)

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: An outstanding sit that is spotlessly clean and well maintained. Janine was really helpful and welcoming and a pleasure to deal with. The site is behind the Amcient Briton pub is you fancy a meal or a pint. Well worth the visit will be back again soon.

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed your stay with us, we’re looking forward to welcoming you back soon.

We would go back, but beware of seasonal!

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Very friendly welcome and closeness to a lovely pub. Clean, modern facilities and very quiet.

Disliked: The site was a little unkempt, the grass wasn't cut, there were beautiful wild flowers right next to a disguarded wheel! Also when we were unloading we parked at a slight angle not blocking any of the road, but instantly a seasonal person rang the owner and asked us to move the car. Seasonal users think they own the site. Drinking Water was cloudy and we told people not to use it. Pitches not all level.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Unfortunately when you stayed my ride on lawn mower had broken down and is still waiting for parts so in the interim period I have now purchased a new push along lawnmower to alleviate the problem. The wheel was dumped in the grass and has now been removed. Looking forward to welcoming you back

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.
