Best campsites for surfing in Brecon Beacons National Park

·

In the Brecon Beacons National Park, you’ll find 72 campsites where surfers swap stories beside campfires after tackling Welsh waves. Many sites cater to board-toting travellers, with showers to rinse off the salt, pets welcome, and a strong hiking and wildlife-watching scene when you’re off the water. Prices start at £15 a night, averaging around £88. Local favourites include Big Barn Camping (28 reviews), Gurt Yurts (12 reviews), and Cuddfan - The Hiding Place (11 reviews). Expect grassy pitches, woodland pockets, and the occasional sheep wandering by. Facilities are decent—showers, rubbish bins, and space for a fire. If you want surf near mountain air, this is where you get both.

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. 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 8 years ago. It was close to everything we wanted and we've spent some time getting a bit closer.

Fresh organic eggs always available in the summer! We never use any pesticides and keep the grass long for hay cutting. This means the wildlife is abundant.
