This site is well set back off the main A465, left turn travelling from Abergavenney just as you enter the village of Pandy (no signage on highway)right after the school from Hereford.
The site is firm and level 4 hard standings which why we went Toilets were clean and tidy, host is pleasant. Only down side could be the height restriction gate, as we were the only Campervan she gave us a key to come and go.
The Rising Sun does/did not do food but 1/4ml walk and your at the Skirrid Mountian inn 'oldest pub in Wales' and the did good food at a reasonable price.
A small flat site with excellent facilities. This was my 3rd stay there. The owner Owen, seems to me to give what he gets - I have heard other criticism, but he has always been nice as pie with me. In Sept 06 when we stayed with the trailer tent, we (embarrassed pause) lost the car key. AA called a locksmith who wasn't able to help, so they recovered us home. And during the wait, and when the AA lady (yes, lady!) arrived free teas and coffees were brought out to us.
The toilets, showers and washing up facilities were built by his wife a couple of years ago and are excellent. Disposal point outside. Snack vending machine.
Meals in the pub are very good value, and range from bar snacks upwards to full meals. If crowded it can take a while for the food to arrive, but it has always been superb. Plenty of choice for vegetarians, too.
We have visited the transporter bridge at Newport, the Big Pit, Ebbw Vale, military museum, too much to list, plenty of variety in the area.
And isn't tent / car / tent / car fire regs? Certainly saves any disputes, can't see why it would be a problem to anyone!
This pub is now called The Rising Sun and still has a campsite attached.
Our friends were not allowed to camp on the tent side of the field as they were in a VW camper, so their little van was stuck in amongst the caravans. This was then exacerbated as we were told that if we pitched now we couldn't save a place next to us for our other friends even if we paid for their pitch as pitches were on a first come first served basis. (They were an hour behind us on the motorway). I don't mind rules if they are there for a reason, but the owner was very belligerent and unhelpful. Our friends in the camper booked for one night but decided to stay for 2 and were told that their pitch was booked on Saturday night, however we were told originally that they didn't take bookings at the site. (Apparently they do for hard standing but not for tents.) He very begrudgingly allowed them to stay where they were.
The tent side of the field is regimented - tent, car, tent, car and all the caravans are lined up very precisely. This is all fine if that's what you want but felt a little against our usual happy camp style.
Facilities were good. Showers were free, but watch out what time you take one as there was no hot water at 5pm. Toilet & shower block was pretty clean and looks quite new, but wasn't cleaned during our stay. We stayed for 2 nights.
We didn't use The Rising Sun after our encounter with the owner, but The Skerrid 5 mins up the road was super friendly with a good range of drinks and food on offer.
Walking was the main attraction and after a stomp in the Black mountains you can't beat a pint at Llanthony priory.
