 This was a last minute stopover for us and we were very greatful to the friendly staff for fitting us in at short notice on what was a very busy weekend. The area is well laid out into areas, the pitch sizes good and the facilities just right. There's a shop on site selling the basics food wise (and some smashing ice cream).
The road behind the site is not too busy but traffic (especially bikes) does come down there very fast, so beware! I would not like to walk along it at all. However if you cross over there is a footpath behind the hedge going to the chain bridge, and a nice little watering hole on the other side of the bridge. The site is certainly on the riverside, though there isn't access to go down and paddle, so don't use this site if that is what you like to do. The dog walk was a nice surprise. We had the usual path through a small batch of trees, but, whilst that would probably be it for many sites, the path led to a good size field with a mown path apound where your four legged friend can have a good run. There were plenty of dog bins for waste.
The site had a really relaxed, holiday feel about it, with groups of people mingling and obviously having a good time. Many knew each other which suggests happy regulars! We were there for the big rugby match and the TV room was very busy; we feared a noisy night was in store for us but in fact it was really quiet. All in all a lovely little site.

I have to agree with all of the last few reviews; this site is superb. The showerblock is certainly the cleanest we've come across in five years touring, although we would have liked the water in the showers itself to be a bit hotter, though the sinks and washing up area were fine.
The views are gorgeous and the whole site has a wonderful relaxed and friendly feeling.
We strolled up to the Black Bear in Bettws Newydd and had a friendly welcome from the landlady and a superb meal there.
Most of the lanes around are really quiet and we had some great cycle rides in the area.
Usk itself is a lovely quirky little town with some nice riverside walks and we can thoroughly recommend the World Heritage Site in Blaenavon too.
Will hopefully revisit soon.

A beautiful campsite; well looked after. You can see why some folks keep their vans there permanently. The owners of the site obviously take a lot of pride in it, and try to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable stay. I think they would not tolerate rowdy visitors which is fair enough as most people go for the peace and quiet of the countryside after all. Toilets/showers were practically spotless.
We travelled there from Cardiff, so a nice quick journey. Had supper in the wonderful Chainbridge pub a short 300yd walk away. Very hospitable - especially to our dogs - delicious food/great menu.
We highly recommend this site and will definitely go again, and try to make more effort to explore the stunning countryside and its walking routes with our dog, rather than slobbing around eating/drinking for our weekend visit!

What a lovely find! I am a member of the caravan club and this site was as good as any of the CC sites I've stayed on. The pitches were well spaced, level and well laid out. I thought the picnic benches available for most pitches to use was a really nice touch. The site is on a good, accessible road. It is an attractive site with the river flowing through it and lots of trees, hedges and grass and seems to be popular with seasonal pitchers. The showers provided lots of hot water which didn't turn off too quickly - maybe a shower curtain would be an idea but certainly I have no complaints. The toilet block was always clean when I visited and I like the recycling facility. The idea of a tv room was unusual and great for those who didn't take their own. I would certainly wish to come back here in the future.

We stayed at this wonderful site for 3 weeks in June and can not fault it in any way. The owners are friendly and helpful, they even leant us an extension lead as our electric cable was too short. The shower block is spotlessly clean with plenty of facilities. There is a pub next door and the lovely town of Usk is a 5 minute drive away. We are only moving from this site as we want a seasonal pitch close to a beach but we will be back in the future.

Lovely site set in beautiful countryside location. The owners were very welcoming both when booking and on arrival. The toilet block is very clean and modern, there's a small shop on site selling the basics which the owners were kind enough to open when we needed gas on the bank holiday after hours. There is a small playing field for children with a set of goalposts but didn't see any other play equipment so not great for younger kids. All in all lovely quiet, very well organised site in the Monmouthshire countryside.

Just back from our stay at Pont Kemys and I cannot praise the site and Rose the owner enough! The site itself is immaculate and the toilet, showers, laundry room, wash up room and tv room are second to none for cleanliness, wonderful hot water! The bin and recycling area is very clean with no unpleasant odours - which is rare. The river running by is lovely and the sheep in the pen are an added attraction. Rose has a great little shop in reception for eggs, bacon and other bits you might need - not expensive either.
Unfortunately, we flooded on our first night but luckily we have family nearby and we stayed there the night. Upon on our return, Rose immediately put the heating on in the tv room for us to dry anything that was wet or damp -everything dried brilliantly and the rest of our stay was fantastic.
Great area, amazing mountains, beautiful villages and if you like to shop, plenty of places to do so, Abergavenney, Cwmbran, Cardiff etc. , etc, .
Will recommend this site to everyone and will be staying there again, many times.
Thanks Rose.

To be fair it's a very clean site toilet block and grounds with the exception of bin area where it is usually overflowing. If you have children make sure your not parked by adult area it's not child friendly. I love dogs but long term campers don't seem to keep dogs on lead and our dog was attacked but she's ok I'm glad to say. If you love motorbikes you'll be ok noise of motorbike raceing is terrible it's like a race track. And just be wear of golf buggy or you might get knocked down. River is close by which is fenced off keep eye on children for safety reasons. Very disappointed with site won't be going back.

Returned from Pont Kemys Caravan & Camping Park at the end of August, after a thirteen day stay. There were six of us in three tents, my wife & I, along with my brother & sister & their partners, in three tents, I booked later than I normally would, because I am undergoing treatment & waiting for a further operation. I needed good clean disabled facilities, which Rose assured me the site had, I was not disappointed they were wonderful, thank you Bryan & Rose, who also sited me on the closest pitch to the facilities block along with my brother & sister. The pitch sizes are very generous in size, the grass is very well kept, along with the whole condition & cleanliness of the site, indeed I would put this site in my top ten sites in the UK. A pity the chainbridge public house is closed; this is only 300yards down the road by the bridge. Abergavenny is one of my favourite areas, so I will be returning to this wonderful site in the future & I will have no hesitation recommending this site to all my camping friends. Thank you once again Bryan & Rose for looking after all of us during our stay.

Just returned from a four night break, and I was thrilled with the site, I could not stop talking about it. Such a well maintained site, spotless showers & toilets. Very much liked the separate areas holding about 6-8 vans or tents, with well kept hedges. At about 45 miles from home, this will be a well used site for us when we want to get away for a few days, without travelling too far. Thanks for a nice site.

Well what can I say that hasn't been said already by previous reviewers? As newbies to touring caravanning it was refreshing to be greeted by charming owners and fantastic facilities. We inherited a 24 year old 2 berth caravan which had been on a storage site for the past 10 years. After giving a full service we opted to take it on tour to a local site to familiarise ourselves with the van and towing.
Our 2 day experience at Pont Kemys was resounding success.
We've tented all around Europe on a number of occasions and this site is an equal to the best sites we have stayed at over there. In terms of facilities this site is excellent. We had a fully serviced pitch in the adult’s only section of the site. Our hard standing came with Water, Electric, TV hook up and waste water drainage. Communal facilities are modern and well maintained.
I have noticed that previous reviewers have commented on the noise that passing motor cycles generate as they pass the site. The road adjacent to the site is a road favoured by bikers from all over the country as are many rural roads throughout Wales. As far as we were concerned it caused us no angst.
As the end of August is fast approaching we have already booked a four day stay at the end of the month and hope to get another visit in before the end of season. The great thing about touring vans versus tents is you don't have to ensure everything is dry before departure. Hook up and go is our future.

I am just back from Pont Kemys. I can not speak highly enough about the site and especially the owners Brian and Rose, who could not have been nicer. I was staying in the area for a singing event and when I mentioned the name of the town, they knew other campers who were staying for the same event and were disappointed that they had not known so that they could put together.
The Toilet block was amongst the cleanest I've seen, with no queues at any of the times I visited it. There is a Laundry and Washup area with Microwave. The recycling area was also very well organised.
There is a small shop at reception. I appreciated being able to buy small quantities, eg 1 egg, when camping alone you don't need 6 eggs!
Would I come back? in the blink of an eye.
Would I change anything? Yes - stay longer!
Others have mentioned road noise. This was not something I noticed.

Stayed for one night over this weekend at very short notice. Bryan and Rose had to cope with us cancelling first thing as the thunder came in then turning up as the sun broke through; all very confusing and they were very understanding and made us feel welcome.
Great location 8 miles from Abergavenny and 5 Miles from Raglan. Plenty to see and do in the area from walking through trekking, etc.
Good pub 300 yards down the road at the Chainbridge and, being Abergavenny, plenty more good places to eat within 15 minutes drive.
Abergavenny has Aldi, Tesco Express and Waitrose if you're felling flush. Usk, which is closer, has a co-op.
Plenty of TiC stuff in reception and the toilet block.
The toilet block deserves a special mention. Easily the best toilets we've ever had camping in Wales and arguably anywhere we've stayed. Spotless facilities and plenty of space. No silly 'extras' like 20p for a shower; and the shower button stayed in long enough so you didn't do the one hand wash thing just to keep the water flowing.
The site is sheltered with plenty of hedging. Pitches were level, with reasonable space and there are picnic benches scattered about. If you don't want electric with your tent then the tent only field is secluded and surrounded by trees.
The site is beautifully maintained and Bryan does a circuit before bedtime and gates closed at 10:00pm. The heavy duty gates mean no risk of unexpected cars at night.
We may have only stayed one night but we'll be going back as our short break weekend site of choice.

Lovely clean and well looked after site with a fantastic adults only section. Showers were superb, spotlessly clean. Only thing I could fault was the noisy motorbikes up and down the main road outside which is no fault to the site owners. Several seasonal pitches and these people were so friendly which made our stay more enjoyable. Would not hesitate to return.

This site is beautifully situated on the banks of the River Usk, and very central for Southeast Wales. Site is very clean and well maintained and the facilities are first class, with excellent dog walking space, a very useful shop, but lousy phone connections (OK off site a little way)if that's important.
Overall a brilliant site with friendly helpful people
