Glamping

Cwmdu Campsite is a family-run site in the village of Cwmdu, inside the Brecon Beacons National Park near Crickhowell, with mountain views. It takes tents, campervans, caravans, motorhomes, trailer tents and roof tents, with electric hook-up on many pitches. Pricing is per person rather than per pitch, so couples and solo campers pay for just who is there.

There is a lot on site for a campsite of its size: a shop with local and Welsh produce and camping basics, a coffee shop open from 9am, food pop-ups, free wifi, phone-charging lockers, a laundry, a children's play area and a community football field next door. Fridges, freezers and a microwave are free to use in the dishwashing room, and there are accessible and baby-changing facilities.

Log pods and shepherd's huts sleep two (the pods can take a third on an airbed), and a bell tent is put up in July and August. Two holiday cottages next door, Efail Isaf and Efail Bach, are let separately. Dogs are welcome throughout, and there is a wood-fired sauna and ice bath run by a neighbouring business. The Farmers Arms pub is within walking distance.
