 We booked this site because of good reviews on UKCampsite.co.uk. They were right - lovely site. Spacious pitches, we had hardstanding and nice to have picnic tables available for most pitches.
Park is beautifully kept and the toilet block spotless. This was warm once the windows and doors and roof vent got closed in the evening - seems a waste to let it get cold during the day!
The TV lounge is a nice touch with books to read.
Excellent dog walk with big field at the end to walk round.
Shame the Chainbridge pub opposite site is closed but the Black Bear Inn in Bettws Newydd (about 1 mile away) is lovely place although only open Wed to Sunday lunchtime. Drinks are reasonable but the food is expensive but excellent and good for a 'treat'.
There is no where to go really there unless you have transport but beautiful relaxing site.

We were over from Australia for the summer and because we have family in the area we stayed at Pont Kemys 3 times between May and August with our borrowed touring caravan.
We found the location, next to the river Usk between Abergavenny and Usk town, to be picture perfect. Easily accessible and well sited for day trips to Abergavenny, the Brecon Beacons, the Big Pit at Blaenavon or any of the many picturesque towns in the east of Monmouthshire such as Monmouth, Usk or Caerleon.
The park facilities were always spotless and we found the friendliness and helpfulness of Rose and Brian and their staff to be second to none.
We would highly recommend both the location and the park as it was one of the nicest of our stay in the UK.

We have been using this site, since we've had a caravan, 4 years now, as it's close to our home in Bristol - but feels a million miles from home when we're there! It was recommended by our daughter who had previously used the tent camp site there.
Pont Kemys was the first ever site we used. We've used many since, but have found nothing to better it.
The site is beautifully cared for; the loos and showers are excellent, always squeaky clean, even at busy times. I feel upset by a previous negative comment that the showers are timed. They are - but all you have to do is press a button to continue, and they are free!
There's a good dog walk, plus a huge field - so good for doggy owners. Please remember to pick up!
If you want site wardens / owners to fuss over you, forget it! Rosie and her husband are delightful people who want you to enjoy what they provide without their interference - but will be on hand to help if you need them
There is an adult only area on this site which I used on my last visit as that was the only space available. Usually we use the general site which is lovely - spaces for 4 vans in hedged areas; great if you want a family / friends get-together, but many larger areas too. There are lots of picnic tables in each area.
If I was told I could only go to one caravan site for the rest of my life Pont Kemys would be the one!

This was our seventh or eighth visit to the site, this time over the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend and following week. We keep returning because of the excellent facilities and great location.
On arrival the owners are very friendly and pleasant. The area is quiet and peaceful with large flat well drained pitches (essential with the weather this year!). The toilet/shower block is kept immaculately clean even when the site is very busy. The shop is well stocked and the prices are good (recommend the local honey).
The location is ideal for Usk and Abergavenny so giving excellent access to the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains for walks and views (not to mention some lovely pubs to gain refreshment and food afterwards!).
We will certainly visit again.

Owners were very helpful (but could smile a bit more) on arrival and showed our group to the pitch, which was level and huge. Was also near the river which runs alongside the campsite. The owner brought over a picnic table for our exclusive use as well.
Toilets and facilities were very clean, with loads of free hot showers. Only having to queue once at 'rush hour'.
Location was great for exploring the area.
There's a small field suitable for kids to play on, but apart from two goalposts there's not much else for them. Though there is a TV lounge, which could do with updating but was adequate for the kids when bored. There's also an adult only area and another camp field, without EHU which looked picturesque.
The small on site shop was fairly well stocked and reasonably priced.
Lovely site - the only downside was the pitch we had was surrounded by the roadway which gave the feeling that we were camped on a roundabout - also the owners golf buggy got a little annoying especially as he started it up at early at 8 every morning and used it continually throughout the day.
Would visit again but would ask for the bottom field and forgo the ECU, for the lovely location.

Just returned from a 3 night stay across Diamond Jubilee BH weekend, myself, my Husband & our dog.
Absolutely loved this site! All pitches were of more than generous size & very well situated. Lawns were immaculate, lovely array of mature & sapling trees.
This was our first visit & definitely won't be our last. We have already booked another three night stay across August BH weekend & may even 'squeeze' another visit in between!
Highly recommended site for touring caravans, motorhomes & tents alike.

Just returned from a three night stay here in showery April. Well it is Wales! Endorse all previous reviews. Lovely campsite in gorgeous setting on the banks of the River Usk. Well run, proudly looked after and managed by people who want their guests to enjoy their stay and then come back. Facilities clean, functional and warm. Laundry room radiator was great for drying our damp towels on. You will need a car to explore the region or a cycle to ride to nearby towns such as Usk or Abergavenny. Both very interesting and busy country towns with lots of history and activities to suit all tastes. Literally. Especially on their market days.

This park was lovely, quiet & offered great value for money.
The nearby pub has closed down. The Royal Oak in Usk, was recommended, which was well worth the drive.
Positives:
There is a small shop in reception that sells basics.
The owner was very helpful & friendly.
The park was well laid out, clean, tidy & peaceful.
We particularly liked having the adult only area.
There is a very nice dog walk behind the site.
The shower facilities were very nice, clean & warm.
Negatives:
The only negative was the showers being timed.

Lovely site, owners VERY helpful. Even have maps that show you the local walks which is VERY useful if you don't know the area.
Very good location for a visit to Abergavenny or Hereford.
My only negative is that I thought it would have been better to have put the VIP area by the river rather than the dog walk as there was quite a bit of road noise and I doubt the dogs would worry about that lol
Even with that I thought it was great and not enough to spoil my visit.
Be careful with sat nav. If you miss the turning at Usk it will take you through some very small lanes.

I am sat here on my fully serviced pitch in the Adult Only part of the site. We arrived earlier this afternoon to a very warm welcome from the owner. Had a choice of almost any pitches as it is quiet at the moment.
The site is nicely laid out and there is a good spaceing betweeen pitches. I am overlooking a little wood that leads to the river usk. Overall I would say this is a really nice site well placed for biking/walking. Close to Usk (4 miles) and Abergavenny and Monmouth. Both of these towns offer large supermarketss etc.

My wife and I are new to the caravan experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pont Kemys Caravan Park.
All pitches on level ground, some on grass, some on loose gravel. Very quiet although we must add that the children had all gone back to school.
A dog exercise area where it was very safe to spoil them and let them roam off the leads. Spotlessly clean everywhere. We found the site suitable as a base for our passion of walking.
Did not eat out as we enjoy the BBQ. Will definitely return.

This is a well established campsite with immaculate facilities and friendly staff. We were positioned right on the river so the views from our tent were fantastic, and all pitches were sectioned off by well maintained trees and hedges making even the pitches in the centre of the field fairly private. We were originally booked to stay for 3 nights but we extended this another night because we were enjoying ourselves so much. The site has a well stocked shop and we were allowed to use the freezer for both freezer packs and food which was a bonus. The only disappointment was to find that the Chainbridge pub was closed and there are no other pubs close by although if you are willing to drive there are some excellent pub/restaurants in the area - I recommend the Cripple Creek Inn. The campsite is also very well situated for days out to castles and towns. We will definitely be going back again.

This is a truly wonderful site.
We have just returned from 3 nights camping at Pont Kemys and we were really impressed.
I found Pont Kemys through UK Campsite by accident really! We were planning a trip but didn't know where or what we wanted to do/go. So glad I clicked on the map and looked at Pont Kemys. I contacted them via email, and even changed my dates a few times but always the response was direct and friendly.
We arrived at 1pm and were shown our pitch - right next to the river! It was perfect, I think we actually had THE best pitch on the whole site!
The reception and shop had everything you'd need. Maps, leaflets, eggs, milk, BBQs (for when your Tesco one doesn't light!)etc and the help and advise given by the owners was wonderful. A visit to The Big Pit is a must- it's free and you get kitted out with miners hard hats and torches and get a guided tour down the mine! It was a wonderful experience.
The site is clearly a labour of love. The facilities are spotless and the overall site is immaculate. The toilets and showers were so clean and there was always plenty of hot water! Also the water pressure was fab!
We were right next to the river with loads of space and privacy. The site is split into smaller areas by hedges but maintains an open feel. There was a dog walking area and adult only areas too. Think we were in the family area. But there weren't many children running around!
We didn't walk anywhere from the site. Unfortunately the Chainbridge Pub is closed down which would have been nice but with Usk 4 miles and Abergavenny 7 miles, nothing was that far away! We BBq'd most nights (we asked the young chap from reception to fetch us some bricks so we didn't burn the grass and he duely set of in the buggy and returned with them for us)but we did venture into Usk on Sunday eve in search of 'dinner'. The 2 smaller supermarkets were open and there were many fancy looking pubs. We opted for Chinese and took it back to our riverside location!
We will be returning to Pont Kemys again, and probably again after that!

The site is set in the most beautiful countryside and well laid out with separate areas for adults only and camping with no dogs. We have two dogs and and a soon to be four-year old but were not made to feel like outcasts.
We were given the impression that care is taken to situate people according to their needs. We were situated in a grassy area surrounded by hedges quite close to the amenity building (essential for a little one).
We were not disturbed by other regular visitors to the amenity block due to the carefully laid out hedges and trees. The dog walk took us through a little wooded area that opened out into a field right next to a bank down to the river.
Full of wildlife and a joy to visit at sunrise (sleeping was a challenge for us first-time campers). The shop provided basic essentials and the owners were kind enough to let us buy milk out of hours when we discovered ours had gone off. They were also very helpful when it came to our camping gas disaster.
The showers and toilets were spotless and well-maintained. The provision of basic cleaning materials made it easy for users to help with cleanliness between scheduled maintenance. The provision of a family room was a bonus as was the laundry, washing-up facility and TV room (all comfortable and well-maintained).
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Pont Kemys. We would have liked to see a small outdoor play area for our single small person but there was a great little football pitch complete with 5-a-side goals.
We visited only for three nights but managed some local walks and a visit to Raglan Castle (although not ideal with a small child and two Jack Russells due to high climbs and the open nature of a castle ruin - my nerves were in shreds).
Raglan Garden Centre was well worth a visit especially the outdoors and camping section (dogs welcome) where there is a full range of tents and accessories and very knowledgeable staff.

1st camp of season and 1st time at Pont Kemys. Fantastic quiet site with the cleanest of facilities, Toilets and showers spotless at all times.
Camping area was made private with spacious individual plots backed into woodland area. Staff very helpful and friendly, while shop was well stocked with all basic essentials.
Walk into Usk town very picturesque however if your looking for public transport back be aware!
Fantastic campsite with everything you need for a week/weekend away - already rebooked for another visit.
Please also note that the Chainbridge Inn is closed down which was a bit of a let down
