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

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!

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

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.
Great stay

Great location for visiting the many interesting sights and venues in the Brecons. The site has some great views but for the not so fit be aware it is quite steep for dragging water and waste containers about. Grey waste water disposal was an issue as the new drain facility has been installed 120mm above ground so you can't empty a waste master tank, weighing approx. 35kg, into it without lifting it on to the drain surround. You might also spill it over the edge and your feet if you're not careful. Likewise, the fresh water tap we used was not high enough to fit a standard water barrel underneath for filling. We also thought the male showers needed finishing off properly. These minor issues would not stop us staying here again, the staff are very helpful and always friendly.
Awesome place

Stayed for one night in glorious sunshine. Facilities are excellent, with a spotless toilet and shower block, the best-stocked shop we've seen and coffee and pastries from a little van in the morning. The pitches are well-demarcated, and the whole site is very well-run. Lovely service from the lovely owner. Excellent value for money. Will definitely be back.

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).

Wonderful site with amazing views. Staff were very welcoming and pleasant, and nothing is too much trouble for the people who run this site. Site facilities were spotless - even a warm tap to shower the muddy doggies! Fabulous walks and you can stop by the pub for a drink on the way back. Farmers Arms was very friendly, but found food fairly average. Will definitely be back to Cwmdu Campsite!
Superb experience

Definitely recommend for all. Especially if you're planning for trips to Black Mountain and Pen Y Fan for couple of days. Its a great location for both places. Very clean wash and shower area and clearly designated area for your camp.

Beautiful site, pitches are a good size. Owners/reception/staff are really Friendly and made sure everything was ok, due to a problem with the booking not going through. Good facilities and are very clean. It has lovely natural surroundings, with a huge field for children/field games. Will definitely return. The far field is next to the road, so some traffic noise.
Perfect

The campsite was very clean and tidy. The welcome was first class and the pitch was as good. The only downside was the children that were not under control camping near us. Overall a very pleasant experience.
