Single Axle Caravan - Grass Touring Pitches (Awnings) Apr 2024 Wonderful welcome on arrival. Friendly and helpful.
Facilities first class. No TV reception but Wi-Fi was really good. Great location for walks and site seeing.
Recommend to anyone who loves Wales for holidays.
Lovely spot Recommends site
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2024 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.
Lovely stay at Cwmdu Campsite Recommends site
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2024 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 Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2024 Fantastic site. Can't wait to come back!!
One, of if not the best site in the Brecon Beacons Recommends site
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2024 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 Recommends site
VW-Type Campervan - Gravel Pitches (Awnings) Apr 2024 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 Recommends site
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2024 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 Recommends site
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Oct 2023 Excellent campsite, great facilities and not too expensive. Added bonus of a superb pub within a 5 minute walk. Highly recommended.
Really well run campsite Recommends site
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Oct 2023 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 Recommends site
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Oct 2023 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.
The best so far Recommends site
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2023 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.
Absolutely wonderful Recommends site
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2023 Ella the receptionist was warm, friendly and really helpful. The location was easy to find and the facilities were very clean. I would totally recommend this campsite!
Loved every minute Recommends site
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2023 Amazing view. Wonderful staff.
Quality campsite in a beautiful area Recommends site
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2023 Top quality park, clean and quiet.
Lovely site, area and people Recommends site
VW-Type Campervan - Gravel Pitches (Awnings) Sep 2023 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! Recommends site
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2023 A lovely, well cared for campsite with exceptionally friendly staff. Will definitely be returning.
Excellent campsite but noisy road Recommends site
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2023 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.
Lovely relaxed site Recommends site
Motorhome - Grass Touring Pitches (Awnings) Sep 2023 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.
A fabulous start to our Welsh trip! Recommends site
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2023 A beautiful setting, surrounded by trees & mountains. Wonderfully kept, clean & peaceful, a glorious shop & plenty of space. Fabulous.
Fabulous 3 days, thankyou Cwmdu Recommends site
Shepherd's Hut - Shepherd's Huts Sep 2023 Lovely place to stay close to Crickhowell.
The Shepherd's Hut was excellent and the weather was great 👍 A very pleasant place, will recommend.
Excellent Recommends site
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2023 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.
Lovely site Recommends site
Twin Axle Caravan - Gravel Pitches (Awnings) Sep 2023 Men's facilities let it down a bit, otherwise we had a fantastic time.

Lovely place and beautiful views Recommends site
VW-Type Campervan - Gravel Pitches (Awnings) Jun 2023 Absolutely lovely stay. Beautiful location. Exceptionally clean showers. Great little coffee shack for the morning and a nice pub 7 minutes walk away too.
Lovely site with fantastic views Recommends site
Motorhome - Non Electric Gravel Pitch (No Awnings) Jun 2023 This campsite was a fantastic find. The location is a little tucked away but once there the views are outstanding.
The site is extremely clean and they have everything you can think of in their little shop. Great for dogs and in the morning, they had a van turn up selling pastries. There is a local pub within walking distance but please note, they do not always serve food. However, the site owners are extremely helpful and gave us a number for the local Chinese takeaway who deliver.
I will definitely stay here again and highly recommend.
