In the 1950s Mills Brothers established Newcourt Farm as a Riding Centre, leading pony treks into the Black Mountains, and as a Camping Site for tents, caravans and motorhomes. We have a large camping area to cater for the development and wellbeing of children, Scouts, Girl Guides, Boys Brigade, Schools and other educational groups and for those participating in The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme.
Walkers, cyclists and families are also welcome to enjoy what the Brecon Beacons has to offer.

We are a rural, basic family-run campsite, nestling in the foothills of The Black Mountains region of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Rising 690m behind the campsite and with easy access, is Mount Twmpa.

We have lots of space and so can offer plenty of room between campers.
Charcoal BBQ's are allowed but must be raised off the ground.
For safety reasons. wood burning fires are not allowed.

Newcourt Farm Campsite is ideal for visitors to Wales seeking the basic facilities for their tents and caravans. Many walkers and cyclists use the campsite for a stopover when exploring this area of Wales. Whether you need a weekend away from it all or a week’s holiday, there is plenty to do and many attractions in the area for all the family.

The towns of Talgarth, Hay-on-Wye, Brecon, Crickhowell and Abergavenny are within easy driving distance of the campsite.

Primrose Earth Centre, a thriving organic fruit and vegetable farm, is close by in the village of Felindre. The farm supplies produce to the local community through Hay market every Thursday. The farm also supplies hotels and restaurants. Primrose Earth Centre hosts a large mature forest garden in which can be found almost a hundred varieties of fruit and nut trees. You can buy your fresh fruit and vegetables directly from the farm.

Take a stroll beside the River Wye at Glasbury Common. If it is warm enough you could have a paddle - cross over the bridge from the garage and take the first left. Just by the Scout Hut is a small free car park and a public toilet. Take a walk across fields to the local pub in the village of Felindre.
Dog Walking - there is plenty of space within and around the campsite for dog walking. If we are not too busy, we have areas you can let your dog have a run off the lead.

The nearest bus stop is located at Three Cocks.
