Waterside camping in Brecon Beacons National Park

Brecon Beacons National Park lines up over 320 waterside campsites, making it easy to pitch your tent or park your caravan right by rivers, brooks, or lakes. You’ll find everything from secluded spots for wild swimming to larger sites with hot showers and campfires allowed. Bring your dog—most sites welcome pets. Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite (185 reviews) sits steps from a stream and is known for its open skies and friendly hosts. Panpwnton Campsite (74 reviews) lets you wake up to birdsong and sweeping hillside views. Pytingwyn Woods (70 reviews) tucks you away among trees near a peaceful brook. Hike directly from your pitch, spot red kites overhead, or take a dip to cool off after a long walk. Nightly prices start at just £10, but expect an average closer to £87. You’ll want to pack for all weather—this is Wales, after all—and bring a torch for the star-filled nights.
