  • Peaceful no-frills Mid Wales pop up site close to Llandrindod Wells
  • Elan Valley 25 minutes' drive; half an hour to Bannau Brycheiniog
  • Dog-friendly pitches with lovely views towards the Cambrian Mountains
Calling all walkers… this Mid-Wales site is in a fantastic position for all sorts of rural rambles, taking in some of Wales' best long-distance paths and favourite hiking areas. The Bryn is a pop-up site in the Powys countryside, near the village of Disserth and about 10 minutes' drive south of Llandrindod Wells. There are lots of short circular walks around this area, and you'll also be in a handy spot for trails like Glyndwr's Way, the Severn Way, the Heart of Wales Line Trail and Offa’s Dyke Path. Not walked far enough yet? Well, you've still got the Elan Valley, Hafren Forest and the northern parts of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) to go… Of course, it's not all about walking – this fabulously green and rural area has plenty more to entertain, including watersports, cycling, horse riding and climbing, plus farm attractions and castles to visit. In between all that, you'll likely need some decent downtime – and at The Bryn you'll have a splendid seven-acre field for that. It’s a pretty place too, with views across the Ithon Valley to the Cambrian Mountains in the distance. Look out for wildlife (and farm animals) by day, then turn your gaze skywards after dark, as you'll often be treated to great stargazing in this remote spot. This is a no-frills site but one that's got the essentials in the form of portable toilets and clean drinking water (although please note no showers on site). Kids and dogs are welcome, and you’re allowed to light barbecues (supplies for the grill or picnics are close by in and around Llandrindod Wells, Builth Wells and Rhayader, which also have plenty of places to eat out).

What customers say

A simple, wild camping experience on a large, quiet 7-acre site with great views. Camp anywhere! Water tank & portable toilets provided. Peaceful, ideal for stargazing, yet near Llandrindod Wells for amenities. Good value for a natural escape.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Large field in quiet location. No traffic noise and couldn't hear other people. Lovely view.

Disliked Last 0.3 of the road is very bad. I wouldn't suggest it in a vehicle with low ground clearance. Water is a large container in one corner. Toilets were 2 chemical loos.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Good to hear you liked the view and location! Just to clarify, it is a mains-fed potable water tank so the supply is replenished as people use it.

Very quiet and peaceful, stunning views.…

Alana R.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Very easy to find off of the A483, if using Google maps make sure it doesn't change Bryn Farm to Brynhir Farm!

Owner was very friendly and helpful with check-in as we arrived at 10pm, which made it all the more lovely to wake up to their beautiful piece of the countryside.

Had tonnes of space to ourselves and could forget anyone else was in the field.

The portaloos were really clean and suitable for the type of stay.

Disliked Nothing!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your great review. Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay, and loved our bit of the countryside as much as we do!

Basic site, quiet, will be looking to return.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great peaceful place in the middle of almost nowhere, well priced, hosts were very friendly and welcoming, lovely mountain view with a dark beautiful night of stars.
Idyllic local villages to explore and Elan Valley only just down the road was a nice little trip.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for leaving a review. Lovely to hear you enjoyed the peace and quiet, and had some clear skies for stargazing. We're very lucky to have the Elan Valley close by!

Would definitely say again

Liked Had a lovely stay over for the night, travelling down to Builth Wells for my dog show with my 3 dogs. Most peaceful night as there is nothing around, no traffic sounds.

Disliked you know there is nothing there but portable toilets and nothing else

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Really nice to hear you liked your stay, and enjoyed the peace and quiet - we hope the dog show went well!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We arrived to a beautiful empty field with magnificent views. I called the owner and he confirmed we had the whole 7 acre site to ourselves!
There's no restriction on pitch sizes, just park where you like.
It's a very basic site with a potable water tank at the top of the site (that you share with the sheep) and a pair of portable toilets by the gate.
It's not very level by the gate but gets better higher up. It's very quiet at night and with no ambient light nearby, it's great for stargazing.
There's lots of places to eat in nearby llandrindod wells and some amazing views locally.
