  • Quiet dog-friendly site by the Four Waterfalls in the Brecon Beacons
  • A 20-minute drive to the base of Pen Y Fan; another waterfall nearby
  • Wood available to buy for firepits; shops and pubs a short drive away
Whether you’re hunting down the Four Waterfalls or taking the scenic drive to the base of Pen Y Fan, your break in the Brecon Beacons National Park will be off to a splendid start with a stay at Bryn Bwch. This quiet, dog-friendly site is a great base from which to go waterfall spotting, as it’s next to the Four Waterfalls and the Sgwd Yr Eira Waterfall is within walking distance too… and as you might expect from a site in the national park, there are stunning views from this place. Dogs and children are very welcome to use the site as their base, so simply set down with all the gang in the large, well-maintained field (which has some level sections and some with slight gradients or inclines) and park next to your tent. On the facilities front, there are four toilets and two showers to go around. For anyone who wants to light up their own firepit in the evening, wood can be purchased from the bungalow when you check in. Ready to take on South Wales’ biggest mountain? The car park for routes up Pen Y Fan is 20 minutes’ drive away. It’s a fair way up to the top, so to pick up any snacks for the climb, you might want to stop by in Glynneath first. A 10-minute drive away from the site, this town has shops for picking up supplies along with pubs to reward your climbing efforts. When you're looking for a pub slightly closer by, there's also one five minutes' drive away from the site.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

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.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Lovely little campsite, with Beautiful views and just a five minute walk to the waterfalls. You are camping next to a working farm, so expect to hear sheep and cows, but that didn’t bother us. Toilets and shower blocks kept clean, also the washing up area. Staff are friendly and polite, would use this campsite again.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

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.

Disliked It was all perfect

Local attractions

Break into the Brecon Beacons however you please… taste the whisky from the copper-pot stills on a tour of Penderyn Distillery Visitor Centre (15 minutes' drive) perhaps? Grab a co-adventurer and strap yourselves in for a one or two-person zipwire ride from the tower of a former Colliery coal mining site at Zip World Tower (20 minutes)? Or board the Brecon Mountain Railway (40 minutes) and make your way into the mountains on the original mountain line? Mountain biking might make it onto your itinerary in these parts, as there are a couple of options within driving distance of the site. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a newbie or a pro at BikePark Wales (35 minutes), as there are lots of different forest trails. Dare Valley Country Park and Gravity Family Bike Park (35 minutes) is another good option for families, especially those who are new to the game. At this site, you’ll only be a short drive from the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (25 minutes). Here, kids are likely to love the lifesized dinosaurs and the caverns. Plus, there are lots of things to learn about the history of the dinosaurs and other cool parts of the past in the museum and Iron Age farm.
