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.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely Site. Met by a smashing lady who told us to pick our own spot. Nice level pitch was found. The campsite is in a working farm. This was great as there were lots of animals to see and pet. It also has a wonderful river running close to it. Beautiful shallow falls with wooden bridges to cross. A half hour walk into town.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike really

Liked: The owners were so friendly and helpful. The site amenities were all pointed out and explained. The site was really clean and well kept with a fantastic new toilet and shower block. The site is well protected from artificial light so when there were no clouds, a very clear sky of stars at night. There is also a lovely little river at the bottom of the site we paddled in and skimmed stones for ages. Very peaceful. Lovely wooded footpaths to either the Beacons or the town of Brecon a short walk away. Every evening the owners visited to make sure we were ok which was a nice touch too. My son and I are looking forward to going back. Now we have found this site, we will not be looking for another in this area.

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.
