Dark Skies Camping

Camping without the crowds. Just you, your loved ones, a crackling campfire and the best starry night sky you’ve ever seen.

About: Relax and recharge in our beautiful wildflower meadows with views over the Upper Tywi Valley, Cambrian Mountains and the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Just a few pitches scattered over 15 hectares. Choose a pitch next to our crystal clear babbling mountain stream, with your own private pebble beach. Keep an eye out for our resident dippers, kingfishers and red kites while you soak up the relaxed vibe and beautiful views.

Enjoy walks from our site to waterfalls, hills, river valleys and into the mountains beyond. This is a dark skies area – perfect for star gazing and there is a special Dark Sky Discovery Site at Llyn Brianne, just a few miles up the road from us.

Superb location for walking, riding, exploring or just relaxing. You can bag popular peaks like nearby Pen Y Fan, or explore wild glacier lakes like Llyn Y Fan Fawr and Cambrian Mountain hilltops with mysterious standing stones.

There are wild swimming spots just a little further up the valley from us. As well as plenty of high-adrenaline mountain bike trails, family cycling, epic on road cycling routes and waterfall walks within a short drive.

Worth Noting: Each pitch has its own fire pit and plenty of space surrounding it. Each camping field has its own waterless toilet. The 'Glade' is a private riverside pitch in over an acre and its own compost toilet.
