Renovated from a former railway station, Aberbran Club Campsite is just the thing if you're after a no nonsense, simple and relaxing holiday. The site provides facilities for those with a passion for walking and bird watching as the campsite is ideally located within the Brecon Beacons and its famous National Park. The Park has its own Mountain Centre, where visitors can come to collect information, leaflets and walks. An exhibition and a small cafe is on hand that includes an outside terrace with stunning views to admire.

Aberbran Club Campsite puts you within easy distance to the shops and restaurants of Brecon, including its popular market on Tuesday and Friday. The market town is also home to a craft fair that occurs once a month selling all kinds of Welsh crafts. Mid August sees the arrival of a Jazz Festival that has proved ever popular with previous guests of the site.

A hike to the top of Pen-y-Fan will give you an enormous sense of achievement as well as spectacular views.

Lovely quiet site in a beautiful area

We stayed at Aberbran for a week at the end of May 2024. It's a small, quiet site, which used to be a railway station until closure in the 1960s. As a result, it's long and thin, which can make manoeuvring at the top end a challenge for... Show more

A little oasis of oeace

Stopped here on route from Risca, South Wales to Pembrey 10/04/24 - as self contained motorhome we were content that there are no toilets or showers and this is reflected adequately in the price. Remarkably, according to the (wonderful volunteer wardens) some still turn up apparently knowing there are none.... Show more

The wardens are fabulous—friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. They are always ready with a wave and genuinely interested in your day. The location is great, with... Show more

Perfect No frills site

Absolutely love this site. Thoroughly recommend it. Stayed for 7 nights. Easy to find from the main road, just follow the directions in the book and you can't go wrong. It's a small place on the site of the old Aberbran Railway station, so the site is long and thin but plenty of... Show more
