Lovely quiet site in a beautiful area

Aberbran Club Campsite
We stayed at Aberbran for a week at the end of May 2024. It's a small, quiet site, which used to be a railway station until closure in the 1960s. As a result, it's long and thin, which can make manoeuvring at the top end a challenge for long outfits. The wardens were really friendly and there's plenty of information on things to do in the area. There's a nice walk into Brecon across the fields, but it's very badly signed and, after taking a wrong turn and wading through very deep cow muck, we were rewarded with a lecture on closing gates from a VERY grumpy farmer (we HAD closed all the gates...) It gave us something to chuckle about for the rest of the week though. Brecon itself is a lovely town with a very impressive cathedral, and plenty of shops, eating places and cafes. We'd recommend climbing Pen Y Fan (the easiest route is from Pont ar Daf car park on the A470). There aren't any pubs within easy walking distance, but for meals we'd definitely recommend the Tai'r Bull Inn, Libanus and the wonderful Shoemakers Arms, Pentre-bach, both just a short drive from the site. This is a lovely area for walking and scenery, particularly if the weather is good!

A little oasis of oeace

Aberbran Club Campsite
Stopped here on route from Risca, South Wales to Pembrey 10/04/24 - as self contained motorhome we were content that there are no toilets or showers and this is reflected adequately in the price. Remarkably, according to the (wonderful volunteer wardens) some still turn up apparently knowing there are none. The site is immaculately kept with a bright feeling. The air is full of amazing bird song and the skies are dark - a beautiful spot in the Brecons, handy to access the local area and attractions with a plethora within an hour's drive. As a 7.5M motorhome towing a car, we were at the limit for the pitches on site and the access along a narrow road off the A40. We will go again!

One of our favourites

Aberbran Club Campsite
This site is an absolute gem. There are no showers or loos, and it is kept beautifully clean and tidy with flowers and plants all around. The wardens are fabulous—friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. They are always ready with a wave and genuinely interested in your day. The location is great, with walks available directly from the site. The nearest town, Brecon, is just a short drive away. Great for outdoor activities, exploring the Brecon Beacons, and wonderful for peace and quiet.
