Semi-Wild Campsite
We are a tranquil, adults-only , peaceful tiered campsite with spectacular relaxing surroundings perfect to recharge your batteries away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Semi-Wild camping in Wales.
Sited in the middle of common land with the Black Mountain in full view we can offer relaxing rambles and walks straight from our gates or spend your day either sitting by our burbling stream enjoying the birdsong, around our communal chill out firepit area by the old railway carriage or just pottering around the place.
We have a cabin and pods as well as camper and tent places and limit numbers ensuring everyone has plenty of room to enjoy what we are so fortunate to have here.
For 2024 we have added a new toilet and shower unit including a fresh water and washing up station for all our visitors.
Andy and Gail welcome you to Brynglas

We look forward to welcoming you here to share the sights and sounds of rural South Wales – being sited in the middle of common land where cattle, sheep horses and ponies all roam free.
We have a noise-free policy in place so please understand this when booking.
We love and welcome dogs and are lucky to be surrounded by miles of hills for dog walking and of course, have our own stream for a good old splash around too.


What are we about
We are conscious of our environment here and striving to become carbon neutral in the next couple of years.
Recycling and replanting are much in evidence here with collected rainwater supplying the onsite toilet – food stations, bird boxes, bug “hotels” and a frog pond as well as 30 new saplings and other plants now in place to help with regeneration…
We are honoured to be considered one of the top ten wild secure sites in Wales by National Geographic magazine online.

Set in the foothills of the Black Mountains, this campervan campsite describes itself as ‘semi-wild’. While it’s set up for motorhomes, it’s also in harmony with its wild surroundings, offering wildflower meadows, a stream, a compost toilet and non-electric pitches. Only over-25s are allowed to stay here, a convenient 10-minute drive from Brecon Beacons National Park. There’s a communal barbecue and firepit as well as a red kite feeding station, plus plenty of walking routes nearby. Dogs are allowed, too. From £15 for one person for one night.

We slept in one of Andy and Gail's camping pods for 2 nights and had the most relaxing time. The pod itself is cozy and warm, well equipped with everything you need to self cater, and a BBQ just outside. The site itself is gorgeous, clean and quiet, and the surrounding countryside is absolutely stunning. Facilities are modern (plus good hot water for the shower and good pressure) and clean, and our hosts couldn't do enough for us. We will absolutely be back! A bargain. read lessBrienne Greenaway7/26/2024 -

The site is well maintained and lovely and quiet. We popped our van on one of the hardstands with plenty of space for loungers and barbecue.
As keen walkers there are plenty of routes right from the site.
Hosts very pleasant and helpful. Cheers Andy and Gail, we'll be back soon read lessPaul Crook6/03/2024
