 There was road noise from a nearby main road.
The pitch allocated was too small for our camper and awning. Elle the greeter was great and got us another pitch which had more room.
On two occasions young teenagers were washing their faces and brushing their teeth at the dishwasher station, spitting toothpaste into the sinks!
Showers and toilets were adequate.

We stayed at Cwmdu at short notice after our trip to Europe was cancelled by rail strikes. Our dealings with the site from start to finish were positive. We booked in haste then realised we could stay one more night, this was easily dealt with. We decided to add an extra shelter for our 'kitchen', this was also dealt with easily and efficiently.
We were greeted on arrival and shown our pitch, the wardens (we mostly dealt with Ben and Emily) were great, friendly and lovely to chat to.
The site was an excellent base for us to start exploring the Brecon Beacons, the Black Mountain area and Black Mountains and we will need to return.
Our youngest was confident enough to explore the site soon after arrival, and we felt very safe letting her do so. A small children's play area and also access to another field for games was available for her. The older teenager was, as standard, mostly content to use the WiFi. The coverage of this was patchy at times, more of an issue for him than me. But when connected it was fast enough.
Some older reviews mention the lack of gents showers, there are now an additional two gents showers as well as a nice washing up area. Water was warm from the first press of the button.
I see a lack of recycling was mentioned in other reviews, we queried this and this is sorted by the waste and recycling company, so things are recycled. This is mentioned on the signs but we didn't spot it before asking the wardens.
After the stress of the holiday cancellation our stay at Cwmdu and the friendliness of all the team that we met was exactly what we needed!

Fabulous site. Everything you want from a site.
Well kept, spotlessly clean modern facilities,
Friendly hosts, excellent communication, great value for money,
Pub close by and in a beautiful location.
Dog friendly too and a shop that is small but well stocked and open at convenient times.
Nice touch this visit is the visiting food and coffee vans.

Lovely campsite, wardens helpful and friendly.
We had a magical walk up above the campsite, wonderful oak trees and magical bluebells.
Good, clean and quiet site.
Will go again
Sad they can’t do proper recycling of rubbish on site though

Just came back from a lovely 4 night stay at this site.
Quiet site with stunning views, toilet block always clean, shower cubicles had plenty of room.
Lovely shop on site, you could borrow firepits which was a great idea.
The community pub down the road The Farmers Arms is a must, fabulous food and great service.
All the wardens were friendly and a credit to the site.

A lovely location away from it all with lots of walks not only in the Breacons but directly from the campsite.
They have walks on their website and you can also borrow route maps at reception. Staff are nice and helpful too.
Toilet and shower block is clean and modern (at least the ladies). There are several areas within the site, some with marked pitches, some big, some small and some unmarked.
The only weird thing is that all rubbish goes in the same bin.
Would definitely recommend the site.

We spent 5 fantastic days camping at this wonderful campsite tucked away in the Brecon Beacons. It is a very peaceful campsite and the only noise to be heard after 10pm is the hooting of the owls and the baa baa-ing of the sheep punctuated by screaming foxes, moos and whinnies. A truly efficacious experience.
The washing and toilet facilities are spotlessly clean with plenty of hot water to wash. There is a quirky pay area which the children enjoyed and a short walk along a well paved road (which is never really busy) brings you to the village of Cwmdu where you will find the Farmers Arms pub and a cafe.
The Farmers Arms is a real treasure. It is a community run pub and the staff there are friendly and welcoming - the menu offers something for everyone and the food is delicious.
From the campsite there are footpaths leading in every direction. I would recommend climbing the nearby mountain Pen Allt Mawr SO 207241. Myself, my wife and two children aged 5 and 8 managed to reach the summit. It took us about 3 and a half hours to get to the top and 2 hours down.
The views are stunning, Tretower castle is really worth visiting - you can walk there by following footpaths and bridleways from the campsite (there are maps available at the campsite shop for loan).
We would like to thank friendly staff at Cwmdu Campsite for helping to make our stay at the campsite a wonderful experience. We have taken away some wonderful memories.
We hope to be back sometime soon.

Shower, toilet & washing up facilities regularly cleaned. Staff friendly & helpful.
Local Maps of interest laminated & provided for a £2 deposit preventing wastage.
Areas of interest include waterfalls and hill walking in the Brecon.
Will stay again if the weather as good as this week.

The campsite is spacious, well maintained and quiet. There are nice facilities. The ladies washroom is brand new and looks lovely.
The men's washroom is an older building housing 4 toilets, 2 urinals, 2 showers and 6 sinks. It is kept clean and is fine, although the owners are hoping to replace it sooner than later.
There is a small shop on site and 2 additional unisex showers. The pitches are a good size and the young couple running the place do an excellent job, are very friendly and helpful.
There is a pub opposite the cafe, looked nice and had good reviews but was closed. Plenty of nice places and shops down the road in Crickhowell and lots of nice walks in the area.
I will definitely stay again. The cafe on over the road is worth a visit, good price for the all day breakfasts and was nice.
We paid £14 per person per night for EHU on tent pitches, happy with this. We didn't have any with us but other campers did and they were happy, there are toys for children and the owners are child friendly.

We really enjoyed the stay
Quiet campsite with beautiful views.
The owners daughter was really friendly and told us a walk in to Crickhowell that we really enjoyed and was very pretty. Not far away we walked the black mountains and enjoyed. Lots routes to follow and loads to explore.
We had a really nice big pitch to suit our motorhome and not far up the road is a nice Cafe for breakfast if feeling lazy one morning
♥️♥️Thanks for our stay.
