Llandyfan Camping

Camping is a wonderful way to connect with nature, but it’s essential to do so responsibly to protect the landscapes and communities of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.

Camping Responsibly in Bannau Brycheiniog

Wild camping, though appealing, is illegal without the landowners permission. Done inconsiderately it leads to issues such as litter, pollution and damage to wildlife habitats. Instead, we encourage visitors to use designated campsites that cater to a range of experiences, including more remote options for those seeking a wilder adventure. 

Designated campsites not only provide safe and appropriate facilities but also help protect the delicate ecosystems of the National Park.  

Many small, farm-based campsites offer simple amenities and are nestled in stunning, quiet locations, giving you an authentic outdoor experience. Booking at these sites also supports local farmers and the rural economy. 

Most land in the National Park is privately owned, with specific uses like farming or conservation, making permission for wild camping difficult to obtain. Additionally, areas with sensitive designations, such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest, are particularly vulnerable to disturbance. 

By choosing a campsite, you help safeguard the wildlife, reduce the impact on the land, and ensure this beautiful place remains unspoiled for future visitors.  

Engage with our landscape responsibly—take only memories and leave no trace. 

For a list of approved campsites, including back-to-basics options, explore our camping guide. Let’s work together to protect Bannau Brycheiniog  (Brecon Beacons) while enjoying it’s unique beauty.
