Green Man Festival
An independent music and arts festival set in the breathtaking Brecon Beacons, known for its eclectic lineup, stunning scenery, and welcoming community.
Green Man Festival nestled in the Brecon Beacons with campervans and mountain views
Why Go
Green Man is the festival for music lovers who value discovery over spectacle. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Black Mountains, the lineup champions indie, folk, electronic, and experimental acts. The festival has a devoted following who return year after year for its intimate feel and outstanding natural setting. For anyone with a campervan, the setting is the whole point: you are already parked in one of the best touring regions in Britain. Crickhowell and Abergavenny are close by for supplies and good pubs, and the wider Brecon Beacons offer waterfalls, ridgeline walks and quiet single-track roads that reward a slow extra day or two either side of the festival. Few UK festivals make the journey itself this enjoyable.
Campervan Information
Campervan Access & Facilities
Green Man offers a dedicated campervan and caravan field with advance booking required. The pitches are on farm fields that can be uneven, so levelling equipment is recommended. Facilities include composting toilets and water points. The campervan field is a short walk from the main arena. Vehicle size limits apply so check before booking. Treat the weekend as an off-grid stay: there is no hookup, so arrive with the leisure battery fully charged and bring a solar panel if you have one — Welsh hill weather is changeable, so do not rely on sunshine alone, and a power bank or two makes a good backup for phones. Nights in the mountains are genuinely cold even in August, so pack a proper duvet and warm layers, and if your van has a diesel or gas heater, make sure it is working and you have fuel for it. Fill your fresh water tank before the final leg of the drive and empty your waste — the approach roads are rural and services are sparse. On the field, the usual courtesies go a long way: level up within your own pitch, keep cables and guys tidy, and keep noise low after the arena closes, as the campervan field skews towards families and older regulars who value their sleep.
Top Tips for Campervans
Arrive early to get a pitch with mountain views as the scenery is spectacular.
Bring warm layers as nights in the Brecon Beacons can be surprisingly cold, even in August.
Do not miss the Green Man Rising stage for discovering unsigned artists.
Take a morning walk up to the nearby ridgeline before the music starts.
Test your heater before you leave home — August nights in the Black Mountains will find any weak spot in your kit.
Add a touring day either side: Crickhowell, Abergavenny and the Beacons waterfalls are all on the doorstep.
