 Choose this site for camping over Easter mainly because it was adults only. But was pleasantly surprised with the great location. A good range of walks (riverside, hill and canal) all available directly from the site. The town is a short stroll up the hill and has a couple of nice butchers, grocers, bakery, etc.
Perhaps the owner was a little stressed when we arrived given it was good Friday morning and she had a few arrivals, but the welcome wasn't the warmest! That aside, we parked up with our friend beside us and had nice pitches in what seemed to be the motorhome/tent section. Would much rather have been here than in the caravan section which seemed very tightly packed.
Toilet block was fine, a little dated but I actually quite liked the quirkiness of it (apart from the small shower cubicles!), and it was generally always clean.
All-in-all, the location of this site is very good, it's adults only which is great and I'd be happy to return.

Love this site, stayed here many times. So peaceful, quiet and well run, yet so close to the village/town there is no need for an on site shop. Each caravan has its own black waste bin. There are a few statics and seasonal pitches and we always found these very friendly and helpful. We love it so much we have decided on a seasonal pitch for 2015. Recommended site.

Just returned from our 2nd visit to this gem of a site, and we love it.
The Site is easy to find & very well run, with plenty of grass & hard standings, all with EHU.
The toilet & shower block are well presented, with 2 ladies & 2 gents facilities. Showers are 50p, but you get lashings of hot water. There is also a laundry room, plus a free under roof outdoor barbecue area.
It's an adult site, so peace & quiet is the order of the day.
The owner, Mrs. Price, is more than helpful, and is happy to share her local knowledge with you.
There are a few local restaurants offering superb meals, with real ales (we had a beautiful meal in The Dragon) But if you just require a beer or two, then The Bridge End Inn is just at the entrance to the site.
The Town is just a 10 minute walk away, with several shops for the ladies to peruse, plus a local bus service to take you to Abergavenny or Brecon.

Great location for town and had great meal at Bridgend Inn and another pub in the town. The toilets and showers were ok but not sure they were mopped and bins emptied the weekend we were there. Tidy site although I was surprised how close together the pitches were, whereby your car was parked in front of your van, not beside. You could hear conversations of people beside you and from vans behind you! Great location for walking.

Have visited this site quite a few times as it is in an ideal spot for the town and has a nice pub just across the road.
This is a pleasant site albeit there are not a lot of hard standings and you may find yourself on a very slopey stand, so take your balancers. Word of warning though to motorhome owners, always phone if there has been a lot of rain, otherwise you`ll find yourself squashed in a very small concrete car park, which in my opinion I`d rather go home than stay there!We nearly got caught out once but the Ruth the owner was good enough to let us onto the grass as our motorhome was staying put and not going out and in of the park.
I do feel if this is a problem, some money should be invested in making more hard standings and not expecting your arrivals to be packed like sardines into a very small car park.
The site itself is in need of some tlc though it has to be said, the shower rooms are cold and not that clean, just seems no one can be bothered, such a shame because this is situated fantastically well, so I guess you just have to weigh up whats important to you. I love it because of where it is and it`s adults only.

This is probably our tenth year at Riverside and we have never had a bad experience yet. The site is tidy, quiet, peaceful and a few minutes walk from the town which has every facility you could want on a touring holiday. The views from the site can only be described as stunning. The nearest bus stop is 10 minutes walk away and services Brecon as well as Abergavenny. The toilet and shower facilities are adequate if not luxurious but hey, at the very modest pich fee of £16. 00 a night, including hook up, well up to expected standard. I have seen sites in the Westcountry charging up to £30 a night for similar facilities. Well done Mrs Price is what I say! The local pubs charge a fair price for their ale, and the Bear Hotel, 10 minutes walk away, puts on a splendid menu for very reasonable cost. There aren't that many adult only sites this close to a town so if that is your requirement, you would do very well to give Riverside a go. See you next year, Mrs Price.

This is a good site on the very edge of a nice little market town. You are 5 minutes from pubs and restaurants in Crickhowell.
The camping field is perfectly flat. When I went there were just 3 tents so can't comment on previous reviews saying it can get crowded.
£10ppn is on the high side but being so close to a lovely town and all it offers is a major plus.
50p extra for a shower albeit a very long one - not convinced the timing clocks work so try turning the show on before parting with your money.

We stayed at this site for 4 nights and enjoyed the setting, view and peace and quiet - due to it being an adults only site.
Although this is a site that mainly caters for caravans and motor homes, we had a good pitch within a short distance of water, toilets and showers.
Our only criticism were that the pitches were very close together. The showers and toilets were always clean and there were loads of them, therefore no queues.
We liked the location as this meant we could take a 5 minute stroll to one of at least 5 pubs in the village in the evening, pop up to the local shop and bakery in the morning and begin several walks without using the car.
We would definitely return and felt that £12 a night was good value for money.

We arrived at 3:30. we didn't have a booking which didn't appear to be a problem, however we were then met by what can only be described as hostility and questioned as to how many, were we over 18, and then asked the same questions again!
We were thinking of staying for two nights but the attitude made us decide to only stay one night, I even thought about walking away and not staying at all. We were overcharged compared to the published prices.
Showers were extra on top of being overcharged.
Would we go back again - no not if it was the only site in wales, they need to learn that politeness does not cost anything.
I would rather pay more and at least be treated reasonably.

After 3 nights wild camping in the Brecons, my husband and I stayed - unplanned - for a night in Riverside Caravan Park.
We had a 2-man tent and were the only ones tenting it on this April night!
We thought this was the best campsite we had ever stayed in. The facilities were so good - there was even a gas barbeque and a gas ring to use free of charge.
Showers and toilets were excellent. We revelled in the luxury after the very basic previous 3 days.
We will definitely go back and make this a base for walking round the area.
