  • Small family-friendly site in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons
  • Just off the A470, a 10-minute drive from Brecon
  • Peaceful setting next to woodland with a small stream running through
Stand by for action… Rhydywernen Farm Camping Site’s fab family farm location is in a most handy spot for getting out into the Brecon Beacons National Park for days of hiking, mountain biking, horse riding, canoeing, gorge walking and pretty much any other activity you’re up for in this part of Powys. And then, stand by for chilling out… for this is a most peaceful location, with spacious pitches backing onto woodland and a small river that’s prime territory for such classic country pursuits as skimming stones and poking about with little fishing nets in search of minnows. Away from the water's edge guests are encouraged to meet the site's miniature donkeys, helping to feed them and put them to bed in the evenings. Barbecues with a backdrop of the Brecon Beacons are of course a fine way to sort dinner on site (firepits are available to hire, with firewood to buy). If the weather’s not up to it (or you’re just in the mood to let someone else do all the work), there are plenty of pubs, cafés and restaurants up the road in Brecon. Work up an appetite for your eats with an hour-long stroll along quiet country paths, or get in the car for the easy 10-minute journey to town along the A470 (also a handy road for getting to other corners of the national park or heading across country to the north or south). Please note this is a family-friendly site: no open fires, no bad language and no loud music after 10.30pm please. Facilities on site include toilets, a washing-up area and free hot showers.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Absolutely superb site - a real gem that we will be definitely be returning to again. Incredibly friendly & welcoming hosts, the pitches were well maintained & flat. Plenty of space available. Stunning location. Superb facilities for tent users - electric sockets available, fridges, freezers & washing up sinks & free WiFi. The toilets & free hot water showers were top notch - very clean, well maintained with soap & hand driers. Firepits were provided & wood available to purchase (at a good price), as well as camping essentials if something had been left at home. There were also picnic tables available for you to pitch up next to. Lots of take-aways that could be delivered to site & details of nearby walks. Being on a farm was an added bonus - it was all so clean, no unpleasant smells & very little noise from the animals - the odd bray, moo & baa were just welcome reminders - kids & adults alike can enjoy petting & watching their antics. There is a lovely river that runs alongside ideal for a cold water dip, or just paddling. Although quite close to the main road there was virtually no noise & we were pitched in the field closest to it. Every thought has gone into making their clients stay an exceptional experience. I have no hesitation to highly recommending a visit to this site.

Disliked: Just a polite reminder to other campers to be thoughtful about other peoples space when choosing where to pitch up. When there is plenty of space available its inconsiderate to have an only an inch or two between the guide ropes.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Loved staying on this working farm. Hearing the cows mooing added to its charm. The toilet and shower block was fantastic. Each toilet and shower was an individual self contained room. From the camp there are some lovely countryside walks, by just passing through the camping field.

Disliked: Nothing … it was perfect. The best we have ever visited.

Lovely family friendly site, with easy access to Pen Y Fan.

Local attractions

So much activity awaits in the Brecon Beacons National Park: pick a gentle hike around woods and waterfalls if you want, or get stuck in to scaling Pen y Fan (25 minutes’ drive away and southern Britain’s highest mountain). Horse riders can saddle up at the stables 10 minutes away, while those who like to zoom around on mountain bikes can get some speed up at BikePark Wales (25 minutes). The outdoorsy antics don’t end there – Brecon’s something of a hub for such things, and activity centres around the town can sort you with rafting, canoeing, high ropes courses and gorge scrambling. All sound a bit too exhausting? Take a more leisurely ride on the Brecon Mountain Railway (25 minutes) before heading home via the Penderyn whisky distillery (20 minutes). Break out of the Beacons for trips to some of the area’s other attractions: Llandovery Castle is half an hour away, as is the book-loving town of Hay-on-Wye. A little further north but worth a trip are the lakes of the Elan valley and the red kite feeding station in Rhyader; both are around an hour’s drive away.
