A campsite near Brecon
About Gilfach
Looking for a peaceful hideaway near Bannau Brycheiniog National Park? Gilfach – Welsh for 'hideaway' – delivers that remote vibe without the nightmare navigation. Tucked into the Usk valley yet just five minutes from the A40, this centuries-old working farm places Brecon and Llandovery each about 20 minutes away. With only a handful of pitches, the site feels blissfully isolated, though a couple of dog-friendly pubs sit just across the river for when you fancy a well-poured pint over a campfire-cooked supper.
The northern Beacons fringe means epic hiking for you and your four-legged friend, who's welcome year-round – just keep leads on around the resident sheep, horses and farm dogs. Large, spacious showers and loos add comfort to the wild setting. If you're after spectacular scenery, proper quiet and a genuine taste of rural Powys, this tiny site ticks every box.
