Great peaceful campsite. We had loads of fun cooking on open fires and our dogs and infant loved it. A really wholesome relaxing weekend with my family. I recommend the four falls trail for any hikers (30 mins drive from site) for some beautiful views.
George the horse was a lovely highlight too!

What a beautiful place! A lovely place to stay -with so much space, wildflower meadows and amazing scenery all around. The bell tent's bed was very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Absolutely perfect, though not for everyone, luckily! Peaceful - meadows, birds, clover, butterflies, grasses, insects, moonlight. Spent a good while searching for the green woodpecker, but could only hear her. Couldn't drag myself away from the campsite!

Absolutely loved camping on Roxanne’s land! The host was extremely friendly, the facilities were fantastic and the views were incredible. We camped in a group of 8 adults and it was a more than reasonable price to pitch up 4 tents. Would definitely go back and would absolutely recommend!

Lovely site. Great compost loo. Babbling brook running at the bottom of the site. Beautiful horse in neighbouring field. Very tranquil. And only a 5 minute drive to Brecon if you’re in need of a coffee or some provisions.

What a lovely delight to find such a peaceful and beautiful camping pitch . We camped right by the river and fell asleep to the wondering sounds of the stream . George the horse was a lovely surprise for the little one and will definitely be returning ! The host is also lovely and very helpful .
Overall this is a 10/10 for a wild camping experience and would highly recommend.

My daughter and I had a blissful week at what has become our favourite campsite. The location is off the scale, but what really makes it is the wonderful simple thoughtful hospitality. The guys at Pwllyn Farm have thought of everything, firepits, honesty shop, great showers, everything really clean and calm and just perfect. Thank you so much we will be back 😊

What a gorgeous site - at one side a babbling brook, that you can hear as you fall asleep, to pairs of Red Kites and Buzzards wheeling overhead - and flocks of Goldfinches hopping about the grasses in the meadow and field. The weather was very good and I fell asleep watching bats and the moon rise, with the van door open all night. There's already stone fire pits, a compostable loo, and a lovely area where you can pitch up and enjoy the woods and the area, in peace and quiet. David is the owner and is lovely, so very helpful, which I appreciated loads. I can see why this little slice of heaven has been nominated for awards - and I'd suggest that people come and visit to try it out for themselves.

Everyone was friendly, but they are quite strict on the noise level even before 10pm. I was confused by the honesty box as I couldn't find it to put money in. Camp site is well laid out and nice facilities.

Pwylln Farm offers a tranquil campsite for hikers, with its stunning views of Pen y Fan and Corn Ddu. The campsite has luxurious showers and toilets as well as shelter where we could cook and hang out with sofas and an honesty shop. The owner was friendly and informative and made our stay feel welcome. We would recommend this site to anybody and have fun!

Lovely amenities, beautiful flat ground, plenty of space and a big barn to relax in or cook in.
The place is massive. There were a lot of people around when I went but with all the space it was easy enough to keep some distance between everyone.
The big barn is where the kitchen sink, toilet, and showers are located. It's not too far from the campsites but parking is provided just outside if you don't feel like walking. I don't think there are toilets in the campsites themselves.
I had a lovely time there but initially I wasn't sure where to go. Perhaps more signs after the entrance may help.

We had a fantastic time camping here, beautiful scenery, and clean facilities. Even when it was busy at the weekend there was still plenty of space for all without feeling overcrowded or having to queue for the loos. Would definitely come back.

Camping in Wye River guide
Overview
Flowing down from the Welsh mountains and winding along the border of England and Wales, the Wye River is the centrepiece of the Wye Valley AONB. Hike between ancient woodlands and rugged gorges along the Wye Valley Walk, stop for lunch at riverside pubs, and pitch your tent at waterfront camping grounds. Getting on the water is a must, so perhaps admire the views on a boat cruise and hop off to explore historical sites such as Tintern Abbey or Goodrich castle. Water sports, including stand-up paddleboarding, are also popular, or you could paddle between riverside villages in a canoe or kayak.
When to go
May through September is the most popular time for hiking, boat cruises, and water sports along the Wye River, but outdoor activities are possible year-round with the right gear. For the most impressive views, come in spring when colourful wildflowers bloom along the riverbanks or in fall when the forests cast off their autumn leaves. The biennial Wye Valley River Festival (May) brings a series of free events to towns throughout the Wye Valley.
Know before you go
- The Wye River runs for about 250 kilometres, from Plynlimon in Wales to the Severn estuary. The main towns along the Wye include Chepstow, Monmouth, and Ross-on-Wye—hikes and boat cruises set out from all three.
- Towns along the Wye Valley have various options for camping and restaurants. For camping gear or to stock up on supplies, Chepstow and Monmouth have the most choice.
- Most campsites require advance booking, and many ask for the full payment in advance. Be sure to check opening dates, as many close in the winter months.
