Cwmdu Campsite Reviews
Cwmdu Campsite, the perfect camping location in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park, with walks into the Beacons and Black Mountains on the doorstep. You will have a pub and cafe within a ten minute walk, and be just five minutes from the picturesque market town of Crickhowell and Greenman Festival, with Abergavenny 15 minutes away. Dogs are also welcome and fire pits are encouraged!

From start to finish, this family run site did not disappoint. On checking in you are shown to your pitch, not just here is a map and x marks the spot. The loos are excellent. Clean and fresh. Showers big and plenty of hot water. Will be back soon.
Excellent site in the beauty of South Wales

This was an excellent discovery for 3 nights and only wish it had been longer. Pre arrival information was excellent, telling us which lanes to avoid. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the facilities very good. Highly recommended.
The best so far

We absolutely loved staying here. The campsite itself is situated in a quiet location, but within walking distance to the local pub (The Farmers Arms) and village. Plenty of hot showers and clean toilets, washing area and utilities. A great shop for snacks and gifts. On Sunday morning we treated ourselves to a breakfast bap from the hot food trailer. Delicious! The campsite is dog friendly, and although we didn't take our little furry monsters, we will return with them. This is a quiet campsite and we enjoyed the peace which complemented the breath-taking views. There was a small group of people who didn't respect the campsite, but these were dealt with in a fashion that can't be faulted. The owners of this campsite were the "pièce de résistance" - friendly, happy and extremely helpful. Although new to the site itself, you would have thought they had been there forever. We went on a few local walks and debated climbing the "Black Mountains" which we decided against as it was drizzly. We did walk to Llangynidr which was about 6 kilometres. This has a beautiful canal which we strolled along. It also has a river and you can walk over the "Skinny Bridge" to take in the views. We ate at the Red Lion, which fortunately for us, was showing the Ryder Cup. Then a lazy stroll back. This walk in particular was met with a very busy A40, which I would not recommend for children or dogs. There are plenty of other walks to take, so don't let this put you off! I have been on many campsites, this by far is my favourite. We without doubt will be back and will definitely be recommending to our friends, family and anyone else who cares to wonder. Thank you for a lovely time.
A fabulous start to our Welsh trip!

Wonderful site, quiet with very clean shower rooms. Well stocked shop. Staff were fantastic. We had a slight problem with our freezer and they bent over backwards to help us. Nothing was too much trouble and they were full of great information. Would definitely return and would definitely recommend anyone wanting a great site with great staff.
Fantastic stay!

We arrived a little early on Friday to instantly be greeted at the welcome board by a lovely member of staff. We were told the pod was ready for us and given lots of information about the site and surrounding areas, which was very helpful. The pod was AMAZING! We walked inside to a very clean pod and had everything we could possibly need (the hospitality tray with tea bags, coffee and milk was a very welcome touch) lots of plug sockets, fridge, microwave, kettle, heater and fan. There was also a plug-in dim light, crockery, barbecue and camping chairs along with a welcome pack! It has clearly been very well thought out! The bed was waaayyy comfier than it looks! My only criticism would be maybe a bigger welcome mat just outside the door as the decking was extremely slippery and our son hit the deck a few times. The site was the cleanest and the most peaceful we have been to. The public facilities were spotless every day. We loved the extra touches such as the books in the phone box, tea towels etc in the laundry room and barbecues and fire pits to borrow, again very well thought out! Everything was perfect, we loved our stay and cant wait to come again (will try the Shepard's hut next time).

Lovely campsite just north of Crickhowell, in a beautiful location. Staff were really friendly, and the site had a great feel to it. On-site mobile coffee bar selling bacon sandwiches, muffins etc. We will be back!

Lovely site, really helpful wardens. Good coffee van. Only thing that reduced this from a give was the busy road at the bottom of the site, but this may not affect you if higher up the site. Facilities really clean and plenty of them.

We received a great welcome from the owner who showed us to our pitch and explained what facilities were available, she was also able to advise us about Pen Y Fan walks which is why we were in Cwmdu. The camp facilities were very clean and inviting

We enjoyed our stay, on arrival we were greeted personally and given a friendly welcome. Site is a little remote so you have to drive to get to the closest village. Site was clean and staff very helpful, providing local maps which allowed us to have a great walk from the site - really enjoyed our visit.

Me, my partner and dog stayed in May for 2 nights in our motorhome and the campsite was beautiful. The toilets and cleaning facilities were extremely clean and the on site staff was incredibly friendly and very helpful. Cannot wait to return again in the summer. Highly recommend!!!

Nice campsite with lovely clean facilities. Good sized tent pitches and reasonably priced. Only down side was the proximity of the main road on the lower field, which was noisy and lots of night road lights that took away from the otherwise lovely location. Nice pub 5 mins down the road. Loved the mobile pizza on the Friday night and pint of the local beer from the on site pop up.
A little gem

A warm welcome when we arrived. Very helpful from our hosts. A well run and well maintained site. Great facilities with an excellent shower and toilet arrangement. A credit to the owners, Sarah and Calvin. A very friendly atmosphere with excellent pitches. The views were exceptional. Fridge and freezer facilities for campsite users too. The reception-come-shop, catered for every need, a veritable Aladdins cave. The pop up cafe with pizza on the Friday is an excellent idea and well used. A top caravan and camping site, which is a credit to the owners and wardens. We would love to come again.

This has to be the cleanest campsite I have ever stayed in. Add to that the facilities within the pod (tea/coffee/kettle, microwave, fridge). It was beyond expectation. The welcome was pleasant and helpful and the shop is very well stocked. The coffee and croissant van was a bonus.

We found this site excellent, large spot enough for a gazebo, parking for campervan and room for dog on fixed lead. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Facilities were very clean and comfortable, hot showers, clean toilets, even warm tap to wash a muddy dog. Excellent.

We had a lovely stay at Cwmdu Campsite. The staff were so helpful with giving tips on where to go nearby for wild swims and when we forgot to bring a pan, they let us borrow one. Love that the fire pits and BBQs are free to use as well. A lovely, peaceful stay.
Phenomenal site

Incredible site, can't speak highly enough of it. Close enough to a main town for food and supplies, but also a great spot to start any of the main hikes around the Beacons.
