Cwmdu Campsite Reviews

Lovely place & people!

Lovely location, beautifully laid out, generous sized pitches and a fab well stocked shop. Owners were very helpful and went the extra mile for us (opened shop for us out of hours written on board). Shower/toilet facilities are large and spotless on arrival. Extended our stay for an extra night and unfortunately the experience was spoiled slightly by a very large group of teenagers (DofE or similar). Not the fault of the owners as I'm sure they were as disappointed with the state of the toilets/showers as we were!

Excellent value for money

Stayed in a pod for two nights and highly recommend it. Spotlessly clean with a fridge, microwave, BBQ, kettle, outside chairs, plates and cutlery all included. All you really need to pack is bedding. The only downside is that the onsite café and pubs are not open every day, and the café just happened to closed on both days I stayed (Tuesday and Wednesday). The Farmers Arms, the local pub, is nice for food but I would recommend trying the other pub instead - can't remember the name. Can't fault the campsite itself, the showers actually work and have plenty of room to put your clothes and dry yourself. I will definitely be going back.

Excellent

Excellent staff, really friendly and helpful. Location has bad phone signal but the site has decent WiFi. Really clean facilities and has all essential supplies plus extras like a book/dvd phonebooth. They have a pizza van and Mexican van come onto site on certain days so you don't need to leave the site for food. The local pub is only open 5 days a week. This place is lovely, I would definitely return.

Best campsite ever

A first class campsite, with the most friendliest and helpful staff we have ever come across. You should feel very proud of how you're running it. Lots of walks to be done from the campsite, and great advice on where and how to follow them. A real gem of a campsite. We will be back.

Amazing campsite

We had such a lovely stay, the campsite is beautiful, all the staff are so friendly and the facilities are spotless. The Monday night pizza pop-up was the cherry on top of a great week!

Good, clean, family friendly campsite

Campsite is neat and tidy. Facilities are clean and adequate for a site of this size and cost. Plenty of hot water in the showers and hot water in the washing area is a nice addition. On site shop provides a decent stock of essentials in case you have forgotten anything. Site is very family friendly and there were often kids running round and playing in the attached sports field. Location is handy for getting about in the Brecon Beacons and there is a small cafe and a pub within walking distance. Pub was nice and cheerful, didn't try the cafe but it looked like it has a good trade. There are no shops within walking distance except the little one on site.

Great site

Great park, with brilliant showers and toilet facilities. We were on the non-electric and only have two negatives. Part of the site is a slope and right next to the busy road, and we would have preferred to be higher up the park to be away from that noise.

Fantastic

Fantastic site close to all walks on the breacon. Very clean and tidy. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. On site shop for anything forgotten. Toilets and showers very clean. Also good if you're an avid bird watcher.

Lovely half term holiday

On arrival, the staff were so helpful and our pitch was great. The views are something else, what beautiful surroundings to wake up to each morning. During our stay we visited the national show caves, Abergavenny, Keepers Pond then finished the week having a meal at the Farmers Arms. Facilities on the campsite were kept clean. We had a great holiday.

Great overall

We visited for a 2 nights, great location to explore Brecon for fishing or hiking. Small, well equipped campsite. Hot water, clean trough and very friendly staff. Don't forget alcoholic beverages as they don't have a licence to sell on side. Over all a great site and much cheaper than others.

Half term in Cwmdu

The staff could not be more friendly and helpful. Beautiful setting and lovely campsite with fantastic facilities.

Quiet location but highly recommended

Lovely site, friendly staff, very clean showers and toilets. Will definitely return.

Cwmdu Campsite

Very clean facilities and staff very friendly and helpful, will go again.

A great little campsite

This was the first time we stayed and we'll definitely come back. There was a super shop on site where you could even borrow maps for a small deposit, as well as having a fresh bread delivery on a Saturday morning - the cinnamon buns were delicious! Also the hosts were really helpful.

Fantastic campsite

Cwmdu is a fantastic little campsite in the Black Mountains of South Wales. Our pitch was a lovely large size and close to the amenities, and little shop selling local goodies and basic camping supplies. The toilets and showers were spotless and cleaned daily. The wardens were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble, and we were lent an EHU extension for our stay, as our lead wasn't long enough. We didn't have to ask, a lead was just offered to us. There are lovely walks and the views are second to none. There are quaint tea rooms 5 minutes walk from the site, and a dog friendly pub 15 mins walk away. There is a large field for ball games or dog exercise. We 100% recommend this site and we will be returning next year.

Fab - lovely location and the friendliest staff

Stayed here twice this season so far, and both times were brilliant. Facilities are clean and of a good standard. The pitches themselves are of a good size, well rotated and of a good quality for pitching. Lots of places to walk to leading right from the campsite. The staff are the friendliest and nicest people and were very helpful. Unfortunately, we had to leave after our first night (our son fell ill) so we will definitely be returning to fully take advantage of all the lovely walks around.

May camping

We stayed for 5 nights, the campsite was spotlessly clean. Showers were lovely and hot and the staff were always friendly and very helpful. The Farmers Arms and cafe had lovely food, we would definitely come again! Love the area, absolutely stunning.

Lovely site and staff

Lovely campsite with clean toilets and showers. Staff helpful and welcoming. Lovely views!! Only down side was being woken up at 7am by the road noise - it's a popular area for motorbikes and they aren't quiet. Not the campsite's fault but maybe just bring earplugs! Also, the pub was fully booked for dinner and nothing else nearby. Our fault for not booking so just make sure you ring in advance for food.

A pleasant stay

Lovely site, set in beautiful area. Everything close by. Staff were very helpful. A couple of things for us, we were placed on a bit of a hill, not good when camping and you slide out of bed/steadying things. Grass was a bit long which means more damp/grass is brought in. Yes we could have asked to move, given other flat areas but a bit difficult when all set up. Also if facilities are open, everything should be, not shutting off two of the toilets/showers. A few self contained areas would be good for privacy too, maybe a development for future. Other than this, fantastic stay.

Site's response

Thanks for taking the time to review your experience. We always appreciate constructive feedback. We're on a mountain with beautiful views but this means some of our pitches are slightly sloped! As you said, we're always happy to move guests to flatter areas if you ask upon arrival! I think you may have visited during the week when we're quiet on site. We have been advised by our licensing inspector to close every other toilet and shower when possible (when not many guests are on site) to ensure distancing in our communal spaces. We're not certain what self contained areas are but we do provide private gents and unisex shower rooms and toilets, a family showering room with baby changing, and a dishwashing area that is external so very well ventilated to avoid the spread of COVID. We hope you enjoyed your stay and that you will be back in future.

Excellent weekend away

Excellent weekend away at Cwmdu Campsite. Very friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic facilities, very clean and well-kept site. Brilliant location for exploring the mountains, whether walking or on bikes. Busy campsite, but very quiet at night. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend 👍👍

Great spot

A few too many caravans for my preferences but otherwise, it was a fantastic site and the staff couldn't have been more helpful.

Great location and excellent campsite

Fab campsite in a lovely location and very well run.

Awesome time in the Brecon Beacons

We arrived after check in time due to the distance we had to travel. We were met by a lovely man who talked us through where everything was and what to do if we needed anything. The campsite was beautiful, location for everything we wanted to do was excellent - hiking, biking and paddle boarding. We have a 18 month old child who was more than welcome. Excellent baby facilities to make shower and changing easy. Immaculate showers and toilets. Everything was spotless, even our pitch which was grass but short and tidy. What a great find. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and we will be back.

Pod stay

We had a great stay in the pod with our family.

Good site

Great position for exploring a large area. Pitch was level although on the side of a steep hill. Staff were friendly and helpful. Surprised that only 2 ladies toilets and shower cubicles were open. Everything very clean and well supplied.
