  • Simple and scenic farm site in the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • A 15-minute drive from Brecon and walks up Pen y Fan
  • Dog-friendly pitches with a minimum guest age of 14
Small, simple and surrounded by stunning scenery – that’s the setup at Pwllyn Farm Camping, part of a farm in the Brecon Beacons. This spot is full of rural atmosphere but it’s handy to note that it’s only a 15-minute drive to Brecon (a journey that runs along A roads all the way). Pitches at this peaceful Powys location are small in number, well spaced and designed to make the most of the setting: they’re mown around the edges of around 20 acres of hay and wildflower meadows, with lovely views over surrounding hills and fields towards Pen y Fan. Facilities on site include five toilets, two showers, two washing-up areas, a charging point for mobile phones, a communal fridge and freezer for your icepacks. A communal cooking area and eating area with stoves and utensils is also provided. There is a cassette toilet/black waste disposal point, and all taps on the farm provide drinking water. Rubbish and recycling can be placed in the large red bin by the campers' barn. Firepits are available to hire on site for a small charge, or you are welcome to bring your own as long as they are raised off the ground and do not scorch the grass. Getting out to see more of the gorgeous surroundings is easy from here: footpaths run directly from the farm onto Mynydd Illtyd Common or up onto the nearby hills for some stunning scenery. If you’re up for stretching your legs further, there are miles of footpaths and bridleways to wander along in the area. Dogs are welcome to stay at Pwllyn Farm as long as they’re accompanied by a responsible owner; the quiet atmosphere of the site also means that it’s only suitable for guests aged 14 and over.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Wonderful campsite made up of several hedged fields. On arrival you drive around and select your pitch. Many with views of Pen y Fan and neighbouring peaks. The centre of each field is left to grow wild; the pitches are well mowed. Lots of space between campers so incredibly peaceful. Campers Barn very well equipped with campers fridge, an honesty shop, cooking facilities, electric sockets and USB charging points, seating areas, washing up sinks, toilets and showers. Fire pits available to hire. Owner Ian a regular presence in case of any queries. We travelled in Renault Kangoo microcamper with awning. During our stay we hiked up Pen y Fan (free parking at Storey Arms) and completed the 4 waterfalls walk (a 30 minute drive from campsite).

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Very well kept site with plenty of places to choose where to pitch, incredible view of pen y fan, corn du and other mountains. To be able to sit out late with a firepit is amazing. Very peaceful site as only adults and no load music. The barn is a great place especially as it has ample supplies if you've forgotten anything. Will definitely be back soon.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Absolutely stunning campsite! The views were breath-taking, with plenty of open space for tents and a private atmosphere (I loved the meadow around us). The facilities were great: spotless toilets, a well-equipped kitchen area, and even an honesty shop for those little things you might have forgotten. Everything on the campsite was so well maintained, and the fellow campers seemed nice and respectful (really quiet at night). And the night sky… WOW, I’ve never seen so many stars in my life – truly magical!

Disliked only on weekend when it started to be busy, it seemed that is not enough of showers and toilets facilites

Local attractions

Being in the Brecon Beacons National Park, there are of course heaps of fabulous walking routes around. A good place to start for ideas is the visitor centre 20 minutes’ walk away, and it’s also possible to head straight out from the farm to locations like Fan Frynych mountain or Craig Cerrig-gleisiad nature reserve – both of which are about an hour and 15 minutes away on foot. Time your strolls to bring you to Mynydd Illtyd Common late in the day, as it’s often treated to some spectacular sunsets. Other popular hiking spots nearby include the fabulous Four Falls Walk (25 minutes’ drive) and Craig-y-Nos Country Park (20 minutes). You might also like to tackle a climb of Pen y Fan (15 minutes) or head to Llangorse Lake (20 minutes) for a day of watersports. For a break from all this activity, head to Brecon (15 minutes) for a tour of the cathedral and Regimental Museum of The Royal Welsh, go underground at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (20 minutes) or take a couple of drams of Welsh whisky on a tour of Penderyn Distillery (20 minutes).
