What customers say
This is a small, quiet, and well-maintained campsite in a peaceful rural location with friendly and accommodating owners. It's ideal for those seeking a natural camping experience, with nearby walking trails and access to Llandegfedd Reservoir. Facilities are basic but kept very clean, including portaloos and a water tap. While some guests found it a little expensive for the limited facilities, many praised the atmosphere and the owners' helpfulness, with frequent mentions of a desire to return.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Very friendly owners. Toilets were cleaned regularly during our stay.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Family run campsite, set in the beautiful Welsh countryside. Great location with access to walking trails and Llandegfedd reservoir.
We were able to pick our preferred pitch which was a good size and flat.
We were able to hire a fire pit and wood for the night, which saved us having to bring ours with us.
Would absolutely recommend and can’t wait to stay again.
Thanks so much for a wonderful time.

Bella bell tent
Liked 2 vans and one Bell tent which was immaculate. A lovely site, in the countryside no signal or electric which made the experience better, more chatting around the campfire. Even lovelier hosts. So helpful and friendly. We all look forward to seeing you again soon

Lovely camp to stay at. Clean and well-maintained.
Bramble bell tent
Liked We are a family of 5 with 2 teenagers and an 8 year old. This was our first time to camp so I booked one of the bell tents as we don't have our own tent. The bell tent was clean, had basic cooking and dining supplies and the picnic table was an added convenience. A bag of firewood was supplied and it was enough for 2 nights of marshmallow roasting. This was the highlight of our stay and the favourite of our youngest. The camp is next to a working farm and we saw horses everyday. The owners were very kind, friendly and accommodating. Susan comes over to welcome the campers and whenever something needed to be checked.
Disliked Ideal base for walkers as there is a walking trail. However, it was quite a distance from the reservoir so it would be better to drive if you have activities booked.

Fantastic wild-ish base for exploring the surrounding area
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely smalle site with 2 very clean and well maintained portaloos. Very secluded right off a country lane, the gate does get shut after a certain time but would be wary with small children as not much room on the site. We were the only people there and were left to our own devices which added to the feeling of seclusion. There's some woods and Llandegfedd reservoir within relatively easy walking distance though some hills. Pontypool and Cwmbran a 10 min drive, Newport, Caerleon and Usk also close by. The bell tents also looked great.
Disliked Dog poo though this is not the campsites fault, pick up after your dogs!!

Liked Fantastic overnight stay at cwmsoar camping site.
Owners couldn’t be more friendly and helpful
Disliked Would have liked hand gel or soap in portaloo but tap outside so not a big deal
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Dear Chris
Thank you for your kind review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Cwmsoar.
We do provide hand gel in our porta loos, with this warm weather the gel dries out quickly and takes a bit more effort to dispense.
Best Regards
Susan and Henry
Excellent quiet field site.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The camping field was well maintained , quiet, relaxing & the owners are friendly.
Ideal for tents, camper vans or roof tents. Grass pitches. Choose your place. Surrounded by trees & hedges. Lots of bird song. Walks nearby with a path to the reservoir.
Dog friendly.
No signal on 02 so ideal for those that want a phone free stay.
Portaloos (clean) & an outside tap are on site.
Would highly recommend for those that appreciate natural camping.
Disliked That I didn't have time to stay longer 😁
