What customers say

Awesome views & host! Spacious, level pitches with clean facilities. Great for walkers, with river & swings for kids. Occasional wasps. A few found limited toilet/shower cubicles and rubbish disposal could be better.

Amanda M.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Amazing…what a welcome by John, so so friendly and kind, helping with anything during our stay. The showers and toilets spotless, laying out of the site considered and atmosphere magical, (especially at night with the twinkly lights!!)
Matt also a great asset to the site, on hand and there to help anyone who needed it, delivering the all important wood bundle for the evening fires, personally collecting your rubbish, etc. Overall, a most enjoyable camping experience with the beautiful back drop of the Black Mountains, l would highly rate the Cayo Retreat….we will definitely be back

Liked Beautiful campsite with great facilities and fantastic surroundings. We enjoyed an epic walk through the farm to the Offa’s Dyke path complete with awe-inspiring views over Wales and England from the border. Additionally we were made to feel so welcome by lovely owner John who ensures that everyone is comfortable and enjoying themselves. Will definitely come again 👍

Local attractions

The site’s not just well set up for ramblers… Other energetic types will be best pleased by how close National Cycle Route 42 is (just a 15-minute drive, or 30-minute cycle), and those who like to get up close with the local(ish) wildlife have only a 15-minute drive to source llama trekking. People craving high-octane adventures can opt instead for the mountain adventure centre 10 minutes away, which covers lots of different bases: guests can get competitive on the paintball field, get adrenaline pumping on the quads, hovercrafts or rally karts, test mettle on the assault course or try out marksmanship with some clay pigeon shooting. Anyone after a more laidback hol should maybe follow in historical footsteps instead: get a feel for the industry of this part of the UK at Blaenavon Ironworks and Big Pit National Coal Museums, both about 40 minutes away, or mosey around the ruins at Skenfrith Castle 35 minutes from base. Prefer some urban days? Head to Abergavenny – known hereabouts as a ‘gateway to Wales’ – 25 minutes from the site for indie shops and foodie stops, or Hay-on-Wye 35 minutes away for leafing through nearly two dozen bookshops.
