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!

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 where 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).
Excellent stay

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 & 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.
Excellent short stopover

We only had the one night on site but it was superb, despite the Welsh weather - plenty of rain etc. Great popup kitchen for breakfast and a coffee. Great site, great team.

Great site. We were very grateful for a gravel pitch after the Easter mud bath! Fab site, very friendly. Spotless toilets and showers. Bacon butty and coffee van on site was an unexpected bonus and the Farmer's Arms, a short walk away, was absolutely fab for food and a pint.
Great campsite

The campsite was in a convenient location, except for the A479 road. Because I was in a roof top tent and pitched near the bottom of the campsite, right near the road, I was very bothered by the constant noise and thundering lorries going by, especially at 1am. Such a shame as it is a beautiful campsite, run by a very welcoming and lovely young couple who keep the place beautifully. So helpful and friendly. Lovely views as well from the campsite, with big pitches. I think if you're pitched further away from the A road and in a motorhome or campervan, it would be better. If it wasn't for the road, I would definitely be back. Having spoken with the person who runs it, they are planning on trying to cut down on the road noise. Apparently it never used to be so noisy until a decision was made by Highways to divert some traffic along this main trunk road.
Nice site

I was disappointed to find pub closed on our first night, despite saying it was open. I think it's worth the campsite being more knowledgeable about opening times. Similarly, the pizza night advertised on the blackboard at the campsite wasn't up to date. This was disappointing when you plan your shopping and day around staying on site for a pizza. These issues wouldn't matter if the site was located to other evening eating options but there are no others within walking distance. Having said this, the staff were really friendly, the on-site shop was really useful, shower and toilet facilities were clean with consistent hot water. For driving to different sites, the location was very convenient.
Absolutely wonderful

Lovely green site with lots to do locally, including walks right from the campsite and a nearby castle to explore. Very good facilities, a well stocked shop and the coffee truck was a nice bonus. The staff here were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We really enjoyed our stay with campfires and stargazing. My only suggestion would be a requirement for other campers to have to keep their dogs on their own pitches to help those of us nervous around unfamiliar dogs that come rushing and barking towards you.
Fantastic!

Friendly, helpful staff. Very clean facilities. Nearby road v. busy and road noise was a bit disturbing - we were near the bottom of the site and one field away from road. Good shop though.

We have really enjoyed our stay here. The unbelievably hot September weather was unpredicted and the original pitch was too hot for our two dogs. One is sick and the other elderly. The friendly staff bent over backwards to help. The facilities are clean and well maintained. They welcome raised BBQs and campfires. There's an onsite shop offering local goods and essentials. There is also a trailer selling coffee and pastries, and on a Friday evening they serve freshly made wood fired pizzas which are delicious. We would definitely recommend this site, and would definitely return here.
Fabulous 3 days, thankyou Cwmdu

Excellent location, I was camping for 2 days in BikePark Wales. The campsite is around 40 min drive, so a bit far, however, the drive has amazing scenery so didn't bother me. The reason I gave 4 stars for the facilities was the shower ran hot & cold and didn't stay in between. Highly recommended campsite.
