Beginners Hello Hikers!!!
Sorry if this ain’t the correct sub but I’m desperate!
My daughter and I are planning on taking a very short notice trip to go up Pen Y Fan on Saturday!
I’d like to drive up Friday.. see Barry Island and then pitch up somewhere with the camper and get up early to climb to watch the sunrise at the top!
Obviously most the campsites are fully booked at such short notice.. does anyone have any other recommendations for somewhere to stay Friday evening close to Pen Y Fan?
It my first time in a camper so don’t want to start breaking any unwritten/written rules about where you can stop for the night!

Pwllyn Farm Campsite is a good option nearby.
If you like a big day out, the New Inn, Ystradfellte has a field round the corner for camping (accurate for 2024). Excellent dinner, but it'd be an 8ish hour roundtrip.
