Bannau

The light here feels different — something about the way it catches the bracken on the hillsides around you, that soft golden quality West Wales does so well.

This is a straightforward spot for anyone who wants proper Welsh countryside without the fuss — tents, campervans and caravans all welcome. You're in Carmarthenshire hill country, where the valleys roll green and the pace drops a gear or two. Good for couples after some peace, families who like space to roam, or anyone using it as a base to explore the western edge of the Bannau Brycheiniog. The pitches are simple, the views are honest, and you're far enough off the beaten track to feel properly away.

Facilities are kept practical — toilets and showers onsite, nothing fancy but nothing lacking either. Campfires are worth asking about when you arrive, as policies can vary. It's a quiet, unfussy kind of place — the sort where you remember why you started camping in the first place.
