Why stay here ...

Situated near the foothills of the glorious Welsh countryside, Brecon Beacons Club Site can lay claim to some of the best views of the central Beacons, with dramatic views of Pen-y-Fan, Cribyn and Corn Dufeatures. It features a plethora of facilities that include two toilet blocks, a well stocked shop and play areas for children. A circular dog walk leads to a quaint stream and woodland area, where you'll find an adventure course - fun for both kids and adults! Its centrality provides the ideal base for touring the towns, including Brecon and Talgarth, and countryside of mid and south Wales as well as exploring the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Brecon Beacons Club Site is the ideal location whether you are taking a relaxing holiday to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the Brecon Beacon countryside, or taking a trip to the many charming towns and villages in the area. Also highly recommended is exploring the nearby hills and mountains that are ideal for walking, climbing, mountain biking or caving. Whatever you choose to do, the caravan park makes a great base from which to see the sights and if you've built up a thirst after all that activity, there's a nice local pub about 10-minutes' walk away!

Walking notes:

The Brecon Beacons and the Beacons National Park provide some of the finest walking in the country, from gentle strolls to tough mountain hikes. A hike to the top of Pen-y-Fan will give you an enormous sense of achievement as well as spectacular views. Visit the Mountain Centre at Libanus for more information on walking in the National Park.

Always excellent

This is a lovely site, with excellent pitches, excellent shop and pleasant friendly staff. I am a bit mystified by the criticisms for noise from the road as the write up on the site is very clear on this, and a quick look on the map shows it sits between two of the busiest roads in Powys! Adapt to this, and it's hard to fault. If you can't, or seek absolute silence, this is not the site for you. However, excellent eateries, canal walks, either into Brecon or into the gorgeous surrounding countryside with great views of Pen Y Fan a short walk from the site, with great road links to all areas of the Beacons, make this a fab site, so peace and quiet is not far away, and frankly once in your caravan, it is not so bad. The Covid arrangements are not rocket science, and work well, and we have enjoyed several highly enjoyable and safe breaks on this site during the pandemic period. Equally, when open, the surrounding pubs and restaurants are also very well prepared for the current crisis with tables in their own cocoons in the Three Horseshoes. I believe, however this is closed until New Year. So, an excellent site, but if you are noise sensitive, take some earplugs!

Great site with fantastic wardens

We have visited this site for over 20 year’s and still love it. The location is superb with a canal walk into Brecon or plenty of countryside walks. The wardens are the hardest working I have come across in any club site. Only last week they were painting fencing, hoovering up the leaves whilst checking people in at the same time. Still had time for a lovely chat whilst working, this is a great site to visit during the winter months. Let’s hope they remain open throughout the winter months next year as I believe they have had special permission this year due to covid.

Nice site in a good location

Our first COVID trip away. I was impressed by the safety measures in place and the cleanliness of all facilities. Good site and close enough to be able to walk to Brecon along the canal. Dog walking area was well kept. Great shop on site supplying basic caravan items as well as the usual foodstuff etc.

Sept stay

Lovely large site with spacious pitches. Excellent dog walk in the woods. Facilities clean and covid safe. Wristband system seems to baffle some guests, at least twice I came out of the facilities and my wristband had gone and I was left with someone else's. As we don't like to take the motorhome out too much we usually use public transport to visit different places but due to covid we didn't feel we should so probably didn't see as much of the area as we would have liked. However, lovely walking in the local area, the canal in either direction, pen y fan and the waterfalls from the local village of Llanfrynach. The site is situated on a busy road junction so is fairly noisy but the road noise didn't bother us too much. However the noise of the local firing range was horrendous, every weekday for approx 3 hrs. Our dog hated it. I feel there should be something regarding this in the site details. The 3 horseshoes pub up the road only seemed to want to let us sit outside, even when there was space inside, which was OK while the weather was warm but we avoided it after it turned cold. Presumably a sign of covid times.
