About Cae Glas Camping
So quiet you can hear the owls hooting after dark – that's the defining charm of Cae Glas Camping, tucked into the Brecon Beacons National Park just five minutes' drive from Abercraf village. Guests consistently praise the blissful peace here, and the site actively protects that atmosphere by asking campers to keep noise down after dark, respecting both visitors and wildlife. Facilities are deliberately minimal – toilets, showers, washing-up area – but there's a firepit with firewood available on-site, and dogs and barbecues are welcome.
The mountain views are stunning, perfect for unhurried contemplation, though there's plenty nearby if you fancy action: waterfall walks, a local riding centre for family pony treks, and Craig y Nos Castle or the National Showcaves Centre within easy reach. It's about 45 minutes to Pen y Fan or the beaches of the Gower Peninsula. A few guests note facilities can feel tired in places, but for those seeking genuine remoteness and spectacular scenery, Cae Glas delivers admirably.

What visitors say
A wonderful Girlguiding centre. Indoor sleeping is available with separate rooms sleeping up to 6 in bunk beds. Large carpeted activity hall and well equipped kitchen. Great camp site with indoor toilets and showers. Surrounded by peaceful fields. Tescos a few mins down the road. Definitely recommend.

Well preportioned building for sleepovers and pack holidays. Oven sometimes a little slower than usual. Great place to make new adventures, friends and memories for young girls.
