The westerly wind carries the scent of moorland grass and distant sheep across this high, open site where the Black Mountain rises dark against the Brecon sky.

Mynydd Du suits caravanners and campervan tourers drawn to proper Welsh hill country — the kind who wake early to catch the ridge light and don't mind weather that changes three times before breakfast. This is Carmarthenshire border country, where lanes twist up through forestry and the Beacons feel genuinely wild. You're here for walking boots and OS maps, not beach buckets, though families who love big skies and space to roam will find plenty of both. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth checking ahead if you're travelling with one.

Facilities aren't specified in detail, so expect a straightforward setup rather than glamping extras — this is a traditional touring site where the landscape does the talking. Campfires depend on conditions, so ask when you arrive. The vibe is quiet and unshowy, the kind of place where you pitch up, brew tea on the step, and let the mountain do what mountains do best: remind you why you came.
