 A friend had been to this campsite over ten years earlier and we decided to trust his judgement. Yes things are a little basic, but good basic. 20p for a six minute shower, plenty of time to get the day started. All toilets were covered and everywhere was clean and tidy.
The shop was very well stocked, compared to other larger places I've visited and the owners were very friendly. Great choice of where to pitch, and no restrictions on direction of tent or space. Also, really handy that scattered around are usable picnic benches.
Fantastic views of the countryside. Local pub was very welcoming and a good place to avoid the odd showers. Did not eat but the food looked good and there seemed lots of choice. Cafe, just over the road, lovely breakfasts and snacky foods. If real camping is what you want, this is definitely a place to look to to use as a base to explore the surrounding areas from.

Good site, lovely setting. Here you can have a lot of space. Pick your own spot. Facilities are clean. 4 showers (20p) and a well stocked little shop.
Nice and quiet, No 'entertainment' which suits us. You can walk from the site up onto the Black mountains, see a lot of bird life. Not a lot for children to do, just a couple of swings.
Short walk to the pub and a good cafe which is great for breakfasts. We can recomend it. Definitely worth a visit. £4 per person a night. Not expensive.

Quite a basic site with amazing views. There is only one shower in each block which takes 20p's. A couple of toilets indoors and a few outside (undercover!)There is a small washing up area too.
There was one tyre type swing but the kids entertain themselves any where we go.
The owners were friendly, prices ok for me as you pay per person, but could work out expensive for the bigger family. Alot of Duke of Edinburgh groups arrived at random points through each night we were there which may disturb or bother some people- not myself as I've been involved with the award and scouts for about 18 years.
There is a shop on site which sells a wide range of stuff.
There is a cafe about 400m away which wasn't too badly priced.
We all (3 ladies and 7 children all under 9) went to the pub for a meal on a Saturday night. Only about 500m away. It wasn't the cheapest place to eat but also not extortionate, the staff welcomed us all- dirty and untidy!
We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay. Will probably visit again.

The location for our last night of the May 2008 campaign, and definitely a site to revisit. Don't be put off by (a) the dated facilities or (b) the noisy rooks; the former were very clean (6 minute shower 20p) and the latter do shut up by around tea time and you get used to them (they are also a protected species in that area, the owner informed me).
The view from the park was absolutely beautiful, unspolit by the traffic on the road (not too intrusive and like the rooks, you don't notice it after a while). If you are in the lower, flatter field you may notice it more, but in the upper field it's not a problem (slope wise, it eases off towards the bottom and our van levelled out fine with our trusty wooden wedges). To summarise, a nice quiet little site (rooks excepted!) with a fabulous view.

The owners here are extremely welcoming and helpful, as are the permanent residents.
This is only a small site in comparison to others I have stayed at and this is reflected in the number of facitlities. There is a small site shop for the essentials, though other shops are only a short drive away. Showers, toilets and wash up sinks are limited in number but they are cleaned and tidied regularly. This was not really a problem for us (a couple) even during August.
There is a communal fridge if needed and the owners re-freeze ice packs in the shop which was open on a regular basis so getting to them was never a problem.
The village pub is no more than 10mins walk away, but while the food is good the price was not - the owners cashing in on the visitors I guess.
Only real negative point is the nearby main road at the lower part of the site where tents are pitched which gets noisy at busy periods.
A great base for any thinking of exploring the Black Mountains, we will definitely be going back.

Cwmdu Caravan And Camping Site, Powys. This is a lovely little site. Quiet and neat. Basic facilities and thankfully, no entertainment!
We stumbled upon this after a previous nights nightmare, huge campsite at a nearby lake (it was late, we were desperate!)
If you like a calm and quiet site, I'd recommend it.

Friendly cheap site at £3.50 pppn. Facilities somewhat dated but very clean throughout. Showers 20p, with coin box outside shower, so best to put 40p in to make sure! When I was there the hot water in the washup was not working, so had to carry a bowl from the toilet block next door (not much of a problem).
Most of field is on slight slope, but some level ground at bottom of main field (I phoned ahead and they reserved me a space).
Shop open for an hour in the morning and evening.
Cafe in village does a good breakfast. Local pub food is expensive but is good restaurant quality, so suggest Castle Inn a few miles north for normal pub food.
