We have two cosy camping pods Sky and Olive here at Brynglas Retreat.
Both are mounted on fully restored traditional farm trailers, each with its own decking area at the front taking in the stunning views down towards our stream and the hill beyond.
Your own personal BBQ is by the car parking space outside and the shared toilet/washroom is just 25 yards away.
Inside your Pod, there is a cosy double bed – solar-powered lighting (with phone charging point) a table, two chairs and a classic wood burner lookalike gas heater!
We provide a single ring camping stove and kettle with plates, bowls, mugs, cutlery, glasses and washing up bowl and tea towel to help you on your way!
There is also a water carrier to be used during your stay and each morning at 8-30 we deliver a thermos of boiling hot water outside your door for you to enjoy your first cuppa of the day outside on the amazing decking area!

13 August 2025An absolute gem of a place We stayed in one of the "Pods" and it was perfect...really warm and cosy, all the essentials that you need and an amazing setting Perfectly located... read more for walks in the hills, and our hosts were amazing.... such a relaxed atmosphere and the warmest of welcomes... we couldn't have asked for more Toilet and shower facilities were fantastically clean, and the BBQ area was perfect for getting to know others on site whilst sat around the campfire; but if you prefer your own company then each pod had it's own BBQ and decking area for more private dining With only a small number of pitches, Brynglas Retreat is exactly that.... not really a Campsite in the usual sense, but more of a haven for getting away from the hectic world within an oasis of calm I really cannot rate this place highly enough and cannot wait to go back Love it !!!!!!!

It was a last minute... read more booking for us, we expected to be exploring the surrounding countryside, but enjoyed the campsite so much we didn't leave for the two days we stayed.

10 August 2024Beautiful place to stay - whatever the weather! We slept in one of Andy and Gail's camping pods for 2 nights and had the most relaxing time. The pod itself is... read more 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.

30 May 2024Just spent 3 lovely nights in our campervan at Brynglas Retreat at the foot of the Beacons - absolutely perfect place, beautiful views, surrounded by nature, trees, wild flowers, birds,... read more and a stream running through the site. The site is so well maintained, the handful of pitches are all nicely spaced apart and dogs are welcome at no extra charge. There's a spotless bathroom, no shower (unless you book the cabin!), and bring a bin bag to take your rubbish away with you. There's a handy old railway carriage to shelter in when it rains too. Andy was friendly and welcoming, and gave plenty of tips on where to walk and things to see in the local area. Local takeaways deliver direct to the site too! Can't wait to return. UPDATE - returned May 2024, lovely new shower and new toilet, railway carriage smartened up too - great to be back.
