 This site is set out well and we were able to pitch on hard standing which was helpful because of the wet weather. The wardens were very friendly and helpful and in no rush to get us off site on our last day. The location is quiet with beautiful views and a short drive to Crickhowell where the Beauford Arms gave us a very warm welcome. Llangorse lake was a short drive away and we had a lovely walk along the river in Builth Wells. The wardens are knowledgeable about the area and are more than willing to suggest routes to beauty spots. Plenty of walks our dog enjoyed it as much as we did. Would recommend this site if you're looking for a relaxed and friendly site.

We stopped here over the August bank holiday weekend and found the site to be excellent for me my partner and our 1 year old daughter, whilst it was very busy until the Monday the site almost fully emptied and it was very peaceful after, although despite how busy it was no one was too loud and the site didn't feel over crowded like some you can get. The scenery around is stunning and there are plenty of walks nearby as well as the town of Abergavenny about a 15 min drive, whilst Cardiff is pretty close too.
The only thing we found with the site was the facilities, whilst cleaned regularly they could do with a good deep clean to get rid of the small residents. I would describe the facilities as basic, not modern although the showers were pretty good apart from one in the gents that needed a new shower head to direct the water correctly (but a minor point).
The pot washing sinks had very low water pressure so it took forever to fill your bowl, the hot water didn't seem to last very long and one time the water actually ran out, although with how busy the site was had a lot to do with the amount of hot water and water generally.
We will definitely be coming back here in the future.

A lovely site for camping, electric hookup if required and some picnic tables. Easy access to the water and washing up facilities however only one shower each for women and men which was not so great. The floor in the shower room was constantly wet and cramped making dressing difficult. Apart from that it is well run, but would avoid going august bank holiday as it is really busy. There are two fields for tents, the lower is close to a busy main road used by motor bikes at weekends and heavy traffic during the week. The lower field is some considerable walk from the toilet facilities. It takes 10 mins to walk to the local pub which offer good service and meals, there is a cafe near to the pub also offering a welcome breakfast or lunch.

Visited campsite on Bank Holiday Weekend. Owners were very welcoming & helpful. Toilets/Showers cleaned regularly. Shop on site was handy, including tourist information. Was given a very spacious pitch, slightly sloping, but wasn't a real problem. Site was surrounded with superb scenery. We walked the Beacon's Trail into Crickhowell on the Sunday. The Farmers Arms pub is within walking distance from the site. Overall, a really enjoyable stay & would certainly recommend.

Site ideally situated for exploring the Brecon Beacons. Greeted by very friendly owners and shown to a pitch with hardstanding. Small shop selling basics in reception and reasonably priced. Shower and toilets basic but clean.
Local facilities in Cwmdu village (about 1/4 mile from camp) include a good pub but no dogs allowed. Across the road from the pub is a great cafe selling breakfasts and lunches during the day ( dogs are allowed).
Nearby there are lots of walks and activities such as canoeing so ideal if you are active and have children.
A good site worth a visit.

I've just returned from a one night stay at this lovely site. It's in a glorious location, surrounded by the Black Mountains and is an ideal base for hiking and cycling.
As our stay was out of season we could choose our pitch and although it was slightly sloping it was nicely kept and we had loads of space. My 8 year old son thoroughly enjoyed riding around on his bike and we had plenty of room for badminton etc.
As mentioned in other reviews the toilets and showers are old fashioned but they were spotlessly clean and there was always plenty of hot water (by the way, the water for the site comes from a mountain spring and is delicious!)
There are a couple of unisex showers if you need to shower children. The reception/shop is open from 9am to 10pm and from 6pm to 7pm and the owners were very friendly and helpful. There is no digital tv signal on the site so you have to retune your tv to analogue and if you can't get a picture (which we couldn't!) The owner will hook you up to an ariel connected to the electric hook up box. We were able to get 7 channels.
There is a pub just down the road which we didn't use as it was quite expensive (as I am a vegan and my son is a vegetarian I was a bit loathe to pay almost £10 for veggie curry when there were steaks on the menu for the same price plus the children's menu didn't offer anything veggie).
We visited the Mynydd Ddu cafe which is practically opposite the pub and serves freshly prepared, reasonably priced meals. They also do mountain bike hire.
All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's not the type of site to go to if you're looking for 5 star facilities but it reminded me of how caravan sites used to be when I was a child back in the 1970's/80's and for that reason we will be paying another visit.

Nice clean site, the pitch we were on was very ample, but site was not busy, we were greeted very well and help was on hand.
The slightly slopping pitches are steeper than you think.
The showers were excellent, but very dated as were the toilets serious updating needed. A bit overpriced we thought at £22 for 2 adult and 1 child.
But the biggest problem with the campsite is don't go out for a meal etc. as you will have return before 10pm otherwise you will be locked out. You will have to climb over a gate to get in. We thought this was really excessive to close so early

We found this to be a beautifully located site within easy driving distance of Abergavenny, and with plenty to see around and about. Watch for the right turn on to the road leading to the site! There are walks directly from the site, and a great pub just a short walk away. It is sloping and terraced although our pitch at the top was not too bad, not needing extra levelling. It was a bit awkward to get on to for amateur reversers like us! As others have commented, the facilities are a bit dated, but clean and more than adequate. The tent pitches look lovely and in a pretty spot at the bottom of the site. We didn't need to use the shop but it's handy to have it there. We enjoyed our stay, but the slope of the site would put us off visiting again. The owners are not on site and perhaps that's why the barrier is locked at night.

We stayed here for two nights over a bank holiday weekend as a base to complete a 50 mile cycle around the nearby Black Mountains. Absolutely glorious location. Shower facilities were basic but extremely clean and more than adequate for our needs. Great to have a separate washing up hut for dirty dishes etc.
Fantastically friendly owners who were more than willing to help out when planning our cycle route. Very good value shop on-site for the basics you may need.
Farmers Arms pub is a ten minute walk, great food at reasonable prices and a good selection of real ales.
Would have happily paid more than the £7.50/person/night.

Stayed here during may bank holiday. Site was quite busy.
The directions to get to the site were good and it's well signposted. However there's quite a long single track approach road.
On our arrival the office was closed and it was not easy to find a pitch we could reverse our caravan into. Much of the site is terraced, however there is a level tent field next to the road, but no hook ups here. There's a handy small shop on site and a pub within walking distance.
The shower and toilet facilities were quite old but serviceable, could do with more space in the shower as it was very cramped with a toddler in with me too! The showers and toilets were regularly cleaned but on one occasion another camper had left the shower door open overnight and I had to mop out all the leaves and twigs before I could use it.
The biggest draw back with this site was that there wasn't really space for our children to run around and play, and for that reason we won't be returning.
