A note from the site themselves...

Bob and I moved to Wales during the pandemic, when both our industries stalled overnight - Bob worked in theatre and I in events. Having dreamed of a smallholding in the countryside for many years, we recognised that this was our opportunity to 'break out' so we sold up near London and set off on our great big Welsh adventure.

Our first glimpse of the Brecon Beacons was driving over the Black Mountain Road and as our mouths fell open in awe at the dramatic views, we knew that this was the place for us. Within three months we had made the move and then spent the next three months taming the wilderness around us into a working campsite.

Bob and I like to think that "if Carlsberg did campsites", it would be like Cosmos Camping. Quiet, tranquil, stunning mountain views, epic night skies and fluffy balls of sheep scattered across your horizon but just not in your tent! Actually the neighbours sheep do occasionally break in but that just adds to the experience, and 'encouraging' them off site makes for entertaining film footage.

Life here is a lot of fun. It is also a place of extreme beauty and calm. We love sharing this with our campers and want them to feel like they have joined a very special club, one they can come back and visit whenever they want or feel the need.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Campervan PitchOct 2024

Me and 3 friends stayed at the campsite. Instantly, we loved it and it was the same throughout our stay. So peaceful there! Lovely premises, clean facilities and outstanding hosts! Yes, hosts! They had beers and other beverages on tap for the evening/night and croissants and coffee, among other things for breakfast. After a stressful week at work it was so nice to spend our time at this site. I only remember about 3 vehicles passing the campsite during our time there. No main roads anywhere, super peaceful and friendly and highly accommodating. Fire pits included! I will definitely be back again. Thanks to they guys at Cosmos :)
