If you’re lucky, you’ll catch at least one of the breathtaking sunsets at Red Sky at Night Campsite near Monmouth. If not, there’s always a stunning view of rolling hills all around. At night, the skies become a dazzling canvas of stars under one of Wales' official Dark Sky Reserves. This family-run camping field on our laid-back livestock farm is full of rustic charm. Pitch wherever feels right—tent or camper van. Dogs welcome but must always be kept on a lead and cleaned up after (dog waste bin on site, otherwise we are a leave no trace site and you should take your rubbish home with you). This year, we’re introducing the “Missing Camper Trail” hidden in the woodland—can you find Colin? You’ll also find a new zip line and a slackline for adventurers big and small. Mud Café and den building are still here, along with teddy bears scattered through the woods—no official trail, just hidden friends to find. Also new this season - a handcrafted washing-up area built by Farmer Ben from wood right off our farm. Coming soon: We’re hoping for showers this season, but we’ll update when they’re up and running. Wild camping here means no electricity—just two lovely compost loos and a covered cold-water tap. So bring your guitar, light a fire, and soak up the simplicity... The way camping was intended.

Glangwdi Glamping offers furnished bell tents in sight of Pen y Fan, the Brecon Beacon’s highest peak. For some, that alone will be reason enough to book but for others there are further temptations. The site is 2.5 acres. Take, for example, Glangwdi’s pygmy goats. There’s a daily opportunity to meet these little farmyard friends and there are ducks and chickens too. And, as if that’s not enough, this flat field in the foothills is just five miles from bustling Brecon and a short walk from woods, waterfalls and wild swimming. The bell tents themselves are yet another attraction. There are six; each pitched around the edge of a neat field on a family farm. Woven hazel fencing ensures a little privacy for each camping couple or family – this place is equally suited to both. Children will love the cute pygmy goats and adults… well let’s face it, they will love the pygmy goats too. But they’ll also love the fact that you can hike straight from site to the top of 886-metre Pen y Fan and its twin peak Corn Du. And who wouldn’t enjoy a campfire under the stars, in the shadow of the Beacons? The five and six metre bell tents are each kitted out with beds, bedding and log-burning stoves. Outside, each has the off-ground fire pit and outdoor seating regular glampers will have come to expect but there’s an added extra too: a private camp kitchen, that’s also canvas covered. It provides a sheltered place to cook and dine when the weather’s wet and welcome shade when this open field is bathed in summer sun. On such days, this is just the kind of scenic spot that could tempt you to stay on site all day but if you’re feeling adventurous the mountains will soon lure you away. Hiking, biking and wild swimming (try Llyn Cwm Llwch on way up top) are all on offer here. Closer by, Held Wood is a local favourite for walks with a series of small waterfalls within it. The Taff Trail offers well-signposted routes – towards the peaks in one direction or along country lanes to the market town of Brecon in the other.

Off the beaten track on top of the Mendips in an area of outstanding natural beauty. A mixture of four acres of wild woodland, orchard and field set on a hillside. Our Yurt is set up in the trees giving you peaceful seclusion and a clear view across the sea to Wales and the mountains of the Brecon Beacons. The Yurt is big and sleeps up to four very comfortably. It has its own stove and outside is a washroom just for you with hot shower , toilet and sinks. Your own meadow allows you to just relax and be. Up on the campfield you can bring your own tent or hire a Belle tent from us with all the fittings to camp contentedly. Our new Wash House has hot showers, flushing toilets and basins. You can light a fire and cook up a BBQ or maybe just watch the world go by. A huge range of activities are possible or you can lie in the hammock with a good book. We have very friendly dogs and rescue chickens who may come and visit. Wild deer wander past in the early morning mist and the odd buzzard picks an argument with a bunch of crows but nothing much else should disturb you. We moved here after an 18 month search 11 years ago. It was close to everything we wanted and we've spent some time getting a bit closer.

Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

This camping space is definitely one we will be coming back to. The surroundings are beautiful and we were able to see some awesome wildlife: birds of prey, bats, cows and a very friendly horse named George. George is a fantastic camping neighbour. The owner has recently installed some great sawdust/compost toilets. David was very friendly when we met, very hospitable and took the time to clear the land and facilities.

Weekend Trip to Noxon Farm

Adored staying at Noxon Farm. The site was cosy and quiet, with everything we needed. Easy to find and pleasantly surprised on the farm having a pond. The facilities were great quality without being too ‘commercial’ and stayed true to the natural feel of the site. Surrounded by beautiful woods, and easy access to great locations and shops / pubs nearby. The site was sociable and family friendly, with a fire pit, bbqs and festoon lighting, the whole camp felt so welcoming. Would love to stay again.

Brilliant spot for those who want to enjoy nature, have a little fire and feel totally removed from the hustle and bustle of life (while only being a 3.5 mile river-side walk from Brecon town centre). Compost toilets were spotless. Rest of the campers were nice and spread out. Plenty of wildlife and birds around. Just a really lovely spot. Great to have stayed at such a great price. Will definitely be rebooking.

Second stay at David's site and it definitely felt like home. Left a day early because we never predicted how cold it actually gets and the kids in our group as well as a couple adults were feeling the effects. If you do see a temperature at night thats low, do pack for it. Sleeping in layers may be a help

This site is an absolute gem, wild camping at its best with views to die for. Not only was the wildflower meadow maintained beautifully, but the ability to chose your own spot, and your own view was perfect. On one side you have sunrise and the other is sunset. The Black Mountain (which is an easyish 30 minute hike) provides the backdrop and the views out over England and wales are just jaw dropping. Proximity to Hay on Wye is excellent and our dogs and kids as well as us loved every moment in this epic campsite. Thank you to Ross for arranging all we needed at the last minute and for being such a relaxed and effective host - we will be back! Suz, Ralph, Isla, Jonah, Bodhi dog and Tiri pup 😊
