What customers say
Great spot near Four Waterfalls trail, stunning views. Friendly owners, flexible check-in, good value. Basic but clean facilities. Campfires allowed. Some pitches are sloped and noise can be an issue.

Beautiful location with great facilities
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Beautiful location and decent facilities. Hot shower was a god send as always and the toilets are at the end of a very well lit path which makes it very easy to access at night. The washing facilities are also very useful with soap and sponges provided which makes a great difference. Being able to choose your own pitch as well gives you the privacy you want and the space to relax.
Really close to the famous Four Falls walk and lots of other walks nearby, also a short drive to Pen y Fan which is always great. All of us enjoyed our stay very much and were thankful to the lovely welcome we felt.

Peaceful, scenic, and brilliantly located – Bryn Bwch is a real find!
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Just returned from a fantastic stay at Bryn Bwch and already planning my next visit. If you’re after a quiet, back-to-nature campsite with stunning views and easy access to some of South Wales’ best walking routes, this place ticks every box.
The site itself is beautifully kept, with spacious pitches and a relaxed, friendly vibe. Facilities are simple but spotlessly clean—hot showers, toilets, and a washing-up area that does the job perfectly. Firepits are allowed, and wood is available on-site, which made for some great evenings around the flames.
Location-wise, it’s unbeatable. You’re minutes from the Four Waterfalls walk and a short drive to Pen y Fan, so whether you’re into gentle strolls or full-on hikes, you’re covered. Plus, the nearby village has a couple of cracking pubs and a distillery if you fancy a treat.
It’s dog-friendly, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. Bryn Bwch is exactly what camping should feel like—uncomplicated, welcoming, and memorable. Highly recommend.

Great relaxed campsite
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Very relaxed campsite, great facilities for a basic site. I love that you can share pitches aswell at no extra cost. Great location, we walked to the waterfalls walk and it's a short drive from towns and Pen Y Fan. I sldo love that you can have you own fire pit (wood sold onsite) or fire on the grass, we had a bbq on the grass a couple of the nights, the owners don't mind ghat the grass is burnt.
Disliked I imagine this site can get very busy, we were there during the summer holidays and although we had quiet alot of space there were alot of tents/vans very close together.
Also as the owners are very relaxed about the check in and out times there were vehicles turning up until very late and so it was quiet noises at times.
I also think it would be good if there was another indoor shower as there was often a cue for the one (there were outdoor showers which I assume we're cold).

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Fab views, great spot for walking, nice relaxed atmosphere, well kept site, part of a working farm. It is basic but clean and well kept - for me it was an ideal campsite where you can sit around a fire in lovely surroundings catching up with friends, and on a clear night the stars are phenomenal! Great site with friendly owners and chatty sheep.
Disliked Nothing I disliked - I will definitely be back.
