Liked: We had such a wonderful time. A quit place, wonderful view and very welcoming host. We really enjoyed the river, the mountain and all the fresh air that gave us a lot of energy to keep on with our busy lives. My husband even had a trip up to the top of the mountain. Hope to come again soon!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Beautiful campsite with amazing views, 10 minute walk to a pub. Bathrooms (including showers) were clean and very new. The best thing about the place was John, the host. Amazingly friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Disliked: Nothing really, although if it gets more popular, they made need to get some more bathrooms.

Primitive grass trailer tent campsite

Liked: Beautiful site, picturesque views, great loos, fabulous owner

Disliked: Couldn't find a bin anywhere. Happy to take my own rubbish home but I have a dog and nowhere to put dog mess. I probably wouldn't stay here at busy times as I felt the plots were a bit too close together.

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.
