 This camp site in in a very good location close to the town centre and is well kept. Unlike European sites where there is usually a hedging around each plot, Riverside is like many UK caravan sites - it provides little privacy with caravans etc. Lined up in rows and quite close together.
To us, the site was not particularly welcoming. One is greeted with prominent 'do not' notices and I thought the lady on reception was brusque and not very polite.
The showers facilities were, in my opinion, poor. I wondered really if the owners had ever tried to shower in them themselves! The cubicles were tiny making changing and drying off difficult. Apart from a few hooks, there was nowhere to put clothes and nowhere to sit to, eg, dry one's feet. As a result clothes got wet. The 50p per shower is a bit antiquated.
Credit cards etc. Are not accepted and this was a nuisance - and, again, old fashioned.

We visited this site for two nights in July.
The site is well run and the toilet and shower block is clean. It is a lovely location, just a short walk to Crickhowell which is a lovely place to visit. There are lovely river, canal and mountain walks.
The owner is pleasant enough but doesn't engage in small talk.
The only thing we didn't like about this site is how close together the pitches are. They are far closer than we are happy with. It was all very regimented.
We would return to the site though, purely because of the location.

Riverside is a very well maintained site, there's a free gas bbq under cover with chairs & table, the cleanest toilets & showers & the most breath taking views all around you.
Yes the showers are 50p a go but that will last you for the shower. For £15 a night for 2 adults with a motorhome & electric hook-up its great value, so we didn't mind.
Ruth the owner is a fine (says it how it is, no messing. )
But doesn't answer the phone much even when shes in the office which is a bit of a pain because its a loud ring around the site.
The short 10 minute walk to Crickhowell centre where you will find a shops & pubs,
We found the Bear hotel expensive & small potions for food but the place was beautiful inside & well worth having a drink in. We liked the Bridge end pub which is just outside the site, turn right. Its a very friendly place with excellent food & oldy worldy inside, go into there private garden where you can sit by the river.
The Vine pub over the bridge & has a massive menu with some excellent dishes (you will be spoilt for choice)
We went for a lovely bike ride along the cannel, you come out of the site go over bridge, turn left then turn right at the Vine pub, keep going & you cant miss. Its a easy flat bike ride.
Riverside is a brilliant place to chill with excellent walks on your door step.

This was a lovely site set within minutes walk of the centre of Crickhowell. There were two fields to this site with the toilet/shower block within easy reach of both.
One field was for tents/small campers or motorhomes whilst caravans / larger motorhomes could be accommodated on the other. We were kindly given a choice of pitch, however, great views could be had wherever you were.
The facilities were spotless and if we had to say something constructive it would be that they were a bit dated and the showers a bit restricting. We also agree with previous reviews that having to find 50p for each shower was just a nuisance and we would rather have paid more per night with showers included.
For dog friendly places to eat we would recommend the Bear Hotel and the Vine Tree (just over the bridge) with its generous portions!
As the weather was kind to us we tackled Table Mountain - this was a moderate 3hour walk with some steep parts but was well worth the views when you got to the top.
The Britannia Inn was dog friendly as was the Dragon Inn and the Bridge Inn. Although the Dragon was restrictive to either a small room off the main bar area or outside, whilst the Bridge was limited to the 'cosy' bar area.
Overall a good site which we will revisit.

This was our first outing in our motorhome and we enjoyed our stay very much indeed - I do have to agree though that the owner doesn't have a lot to say
The site is really close to the town with great pubs and a great atmosphere also loads of great walks and some exhausting ones but well worth the views at the top of table top mountain, the cycling was good also.
I thought the town was a great little place and the area beautiful and the site was good although the 50p showers where ok -
The pitches were a little close but we had water on ours so that was great and the site was very clean and tidy -
I would go again but forget the small talk with the owner !

We visited this site over a Bank holiday weekend (having avoided them previously) and were pleasantly surprised that although the site was full the facilities were more than adequate and all was calm and ordered. Being an adult only site helped a lot in this respect.
The site is well kept with a hook-up for almost every pitch, and each pitch has it's own dustbin. The loo / shower block is very clean. My only real gripe is that the showers are on timers at 50p a go. There is no club, bar or shop.
Situated between the River Usk and the town of Crickhowell, there is easy road access to the site and it's a short walk up to town where there is a broad range of shops for a small town. There is no supermarket. Excellent food and drink at 'The Bear', and the only place I found with wi-fi. internet access also at the Tourist Information Centre, which has the friendliest and most helpful staff anywhere.
Lots to do around Crickhowell, with hill walks you can start from the site, or stroll along the canal bank if you want something less taxing. We visited the 'Big Pit' at Blaenavon, and were very impressed with the underground trip and the displays, and because it's classed as a museum it's free.
Brecon is a lively town with a small Cathedral and at least four outdoor / mountain gear shops trying to get your trade so there are some good deals to be had if you need any kit.
Anyway, if it's a quiet break you want then this site and the area around will do you just fine.

We have visited this site now on a regular basis for the last eight years and would say that this campsite has got to be one of our favourites. We have always received a great welcome from the owner and although there are several Static Caravans on the site, my wife and I have always found them to be very friendly towards the tourers and we have got to know them very well over the years.
Please be aware that it is strictly adults only campsites but dogs are allowed if kept on leads.
The views from the site as already stated in previous reviews are second to none and a walk up Table Mountain is a must but don't forget the Asthma pump. The town has plenty of watering holes to quench the thirst, if and when required, and I must comment that on the rare occasion we have been known to visit one or two of them for the odd sherbert! There are quite a few very exclusive shops in the town and a excellent butchers all within walking distance.
We look forward to visiting this campsite on a regular basis in the future and would highly recommend this campsite for peaceful stay in a great location.

As per previous reviews could not fault this site nestled in the middle of lovely crickhowell town, showers and toilets very good, clean and spacious, 50p charge and boiling hot water, I know some people complain about the 50p charge but it is a small well kept site and must have overheads I guess to keep it as pristine as it is. The site is extremely well kept, looked after as if it were the owners own garden, own refuse bins, and no rush to chuck you out on your day of departure.
Literally just a few minutes walk into the town with plenty of shops and pubs, our favourite was the Bridge end inn, just 2mins walk away, one of those rare pubs where the landlord is dressed in a shirt and tie and greets you at the door on the way in. Food pricey but don't let that put you off, just wait till it comes to your table and you will see why, certainly not your usual pub grub, one of those rare finds where the customer still matters, orders taken at your table, drinks brought to your table, and all the staff extremely friendly and ready to help.
Dont be put off by this sites close proximity to the town, the views are stunning and at night there was not a sound to be heard, will certainly be visiting again.

Stayed at Riverside over the Bank Holiday weekend. We were put in the smaller 'tent' area which is next to a fairly busy road which can be quite noisy through the night, this would probably not be noticeable pitched in the main 'Caravan' area. The site was very clean and well presented with very good toilet and shower facilities although the shower cubicles are a little on the small side. 50p gives plenty of hot water. Probably due to it being a bank holiday and the site being very busy we had to park the car directly in front of our pitch which was not ideal.
Crickhowell is a short walk away and the choice of pubs and restaurants is quite exceptional we ate out every night and never had a poor meal the whole time. The surrounding countryside is lovely with walks from the site along the river and also out through Langattock and along the canal, or for the more energetic you can tackle table mountain. There is a nice butcher in the town with a good selection of fresh bacon which we can well recommend.
Everything considered a nice site in a lovely location.

Very clean and well run site. Good sized pitches, separate areas split by hedges making each seem like a smaller site. Free use of undercover gas barbecue. Sensible list of rules and friendly welcome from the owner. Minutes from the shops with good selection of food and drink available. Great for walking the dog in the adjacent field. Panoramic views of the mountains. The nearest pub (just outside the gate) does a good Sunday lunch and allows dogs in if kept on the lead, even better to sit in the garden and enjoy the view. Take a good TV aerial as the reception on a Status 315 was poor. We are new to this so not much to compare with yet but if all sites are as good as this 'Bring it on '.
