Why stay here ...
The natural landscape of this location means you'll be surrounded by views and nature at its finest.
Our site is a level, luscious green site, surrounded by hedges and mature trees, located next to the River Usk.
Visitors to the site are treated to some majestic views of Table Mountain, the Sugarloft, Llangattock Escarpment on the edge of Mynydd Llangatwg and Black Mountains. In the next field to the site the River Usk (where it is said that in 1929 Dr Edward Bach of Bach Remedies found his first flower essence 'Mimulus' growing to perfection along the river bank) and the River Grwyney join at the edge of the field which is where the salmon exist the Grwyney for the world renown salmon leap. Visitors to our site can walk down to the river over our private field to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of a private river bank where it is only for the visitors to enjoy.
We are within walking distance of the local pub, bus stop and the historic market town of Crickhowell (which won Great British High Street Awards 2018) and has been voted the best town to live in the United Kingdom. It also has a very impressive historic bridge, castle, numerous shops, cafes, pubs with good restaurants, a library and a visitor centre with lots of useful information. Just 3 miles up the road you will find the medieval Tretower Court definitely worth a visit.
On the south side of Crickhowell further along there is Abergavenny which with its ancient castle being a particular highlight and a food festival that takes place every year in September, it also has great shopping an excellent market on a Tuesday, library, theatre, soft play area and a bus and train station.
Further afield over the beautiful Mynydd Llangatwyg you can access Llangattwg Escarpment with lovely walks along the limestone cliffs and access to caves and old quarries with amazing views. Further over the mountain you will find Blaenavon World Heritage Centre.
Walks, whether guided or unguided (the Brecon Beacons National Park produces a useful list) prove rewarding with views for miles around. Some hill walks can be done from the site. There is also an interesting circular walk around Crickhowell (details from the Crickhowell TIC).
Our site is dog friendly and dogs can be walked in the adjoining field. A games room is located at the bottom of the field adjacent to the CL, exclusively for the use of CL guests. This room includes a pool table, football table, table tennis and a seating area. (Please note that the games room is currently not available for use).

Beautiful views
Two Rivers CL
Stayed four nights and had a wonderful time. Although the site is on the main road we weren't bothered by noise at all. Field is grass with superb views and the usual standard CL facilities. We had a visit from Andrea who is helpful and chatty. We will certainly visit again.
Well kept site in beautiful location
Two Rivers CL
Stayed 3 nights here, well kept site with usual CL facilities. Good location to walk up the Sugar Loaf , 10 mile circuit returning back via Crickhowell. Easy flat walk into Crickhowell, some road, mainly footpath by river. Now £25 pn with elec, £22 without. Some traffic noise as next to quite a busy road.

Couldn’t be better
Two Rivers CL
We visited this site earlier this month for a couple of nights, and could not have received a warmer welcome from the owners, Andrea and Danny. We didn’t get to meet Andrea in person (next time, hopefully!) but from start to finish, communications with her were friendly and helpful. Danny was on site when we arrived, opening the gate and waving us into the huge, mostly empty field, and we were invited to pitch wherever we fancied. As we did not need EHU, we picked a spot with 360 degree views and settled in to watch the sunset. The facilities were limited but new and spotless - you do need your own onboard shower and toilet, as there is currently no shower block - but what this site lacks in mod cons, it makes up for in peace and quiet and wonderful views. Other reviews mention road noise, and whilst you can hear the road, we were far enough away for this not to be intrusive. Danny, thank you for your kindness to us and in particular to our four year old grandson, who certainly made the most of the time and space to run and play and experience good old-fashioned country life! We loved the freedom and tranquility of your site and will be back soon.
Nice and open
Two Rivers CL
We've just had three nights on this site.
Finding our way there and getting into position was easy. There is plenty of room in the field and there is electric this year too.
Water and toilet emptying area is clean and looms quite new
We enjoyed some cycling from the site and took in all we wanted.
If you're looking for somewhere with a short walk to night life maybe not the best option as it's about 20 minutes walk to get to a pub but staying on site with a cool drink and enjoying the views was good for us
A bit disappointing
Two Rivers CL
We did not get to meet the owner Andrea. The site had quite a lot of road traffic noise. We stayed in a field where the grass hadn’t been cut. The only contact was a message asking if we could depart by 10am, so we didn’t even get 24 hours & a request for payment, despite having paid by bank transfer some weeks before. We thought they could do better.
