CAMPSITE TERMS & CONDITIONS:
Please ensure you read the following campsite terms & conditions carefully before completing your booking with Cwmdu Campsite.
Booking With Us This Year
Pricing is subject to change through the year. If you cancel your booking or amend your dates, you will be subject to the new pricing at the time of your new booking if you re-book. You will be required to pay your full balance 7 days before you arrive (or at the time of booking if this is within 7 days of your arrival).
If you cannot visit due to you, or someone in your party, testing positive for Coronavirus, we ask that you postpone your booking and transfer the non-refundable deposit to a later in the season or the following year.
Now that we are open, the following restrictions will be in place:
- Toilet, shower and dishwashing facilities may be closed 11am-12pm daily to allow for stringent cleaning procedures to take place and allow our employees to clean thoroughly.
- Shop opening times may vary. Please check your emails and Facebook page in the days prior to your arrival for updates.
- Fridge, freezer and microwave facilities are available but you must clean them with the disinfectant provided after usage.
- We are not hiring out fire pits until further notice. You may bring your own BBQ or firepit and burn firewood provided it is off the ground and does not scorch the grass (we sell fire wood in our on-site shop). Upon booking, you will receive a prearrival email with a document attached advising you of the safety precautions necessary on site if using a firepit.
- Laundry room is open again, please bring pound coins or ask in reception for change.
- Our shop opening times are displayed outside reception.
Please book in advance via our website to avoid disappointment, particularly during school holidays or bank holidays. At the time of booking full contact details are required and a deposit payment must be received in full by credit/debit card or cash. By booking you give permission for your contact details to be retained on our computer system.
A maximum group booking of 2 pitches is permitted (although exceptions may be made for Duke of Edinburgh bookings or similar, please email info@campingbreconbeacons.com to inquire about group bookings). We do not accept large single-sex groups (stag or hen parties) or bookings made by anyone under the age of 18. We will endeavor to accommodate clients that are booked in as a group in adjoining pitches on the campsite but we must emphasise that we cannot guarantee it and it is not always possible, particularly when bookings are for bank holidays or during school holidays.
All deposits are non-refundable. A minimum of 7 days written notice via email or WhatsApp, in advance of arrival date will be required from anyone wishing to cancel their booking. If more than 7 days notice is given, the booking may be re-arranged to another available date within 12 months of the original arrival date. Cancellations within 7 days of customer’s arrival date will not be transferable. If you cancel your booking after the full balance has been paid we shall retain your deposit and refund the balance to you (if it is over £20) – provided we have received your cancellation by email, text message or WhatsApp message at least 7 days prior to arrival. Please note that the deposit might represent the full fee for your stay. Refunds cannot be made for any amendments made to the booking on arrival or during your stay.
You should notify us of any amendments to your confirmed booking by telephone or in writing (by email to info@campingbreconbeacons.com or WhatsApp +447423376694 or +447545193419) as soon as possible. Amendments are subject to availability and our cancellation policy (see campsite terms & conditions above).
Your camping balance is due 7 days prior to arrival (14 days prior to arrival for glamping accommodation or holiday cottage bookings). Failure to pay a deposit at least 7 days prior to arrival will result in termination of the contract and the booking will be cancelled. We do not issue cancellation notices in such cases. A further booking and deposit will be required should you wish to re-book. Failure to pay your camping balance at least 5 days prior to arrival, or 7 days prior to arrival for glamping will result in your booking being cancelled. We will notify you of this cancellation via email. If you book within 7 days of your arrival date, the full balance of your camping stay must be paid upon booking.
Failure to arrive without prior notification within our Cancellation Policy (above) will receive no transfer or refund. If a pitch has been booked for more than one night and if no notification is given resulting in the pitch failing to be occupied by 6.00pm on the day following the day of expected arrival, we reserve the right to re-let the pitch with payment forfeited.
Cancellations or changes made by Cwmdu Campsite
In the unlikely event that the campsite is unable to accommodate a confirmed reservation it may be necessary to offer an alternative of an equal or a superior standard. If at any time we need to make changes that will significantly affect your stay or we need to cancel your stay, we will tell you as soon as possible, offering a suitable alternative or a refund. This does not apply to minor changes or events during your stay, resulting from unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control.
We cannot be held responsible for cancelling your booking as a result of your failure to comply with any requirement of our Booking Terms & Conditions, and we cannot be held liable for any expenses, costs or losses incurred by you as a result of any change or cancellation.

No refunds or return travel arrangements will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of such a curtailment.

Your arrival is welcome from 1pm onwards (3pm onwards for glamping or holiday cottages). On arrival please check our arrivals board for your pitch location then report to reception where you will be asked to confirm your booking details and pay any additional fees that might apply (for example if you have brought more than one car, a fee will apply). If reception is not open when you arrive, please call in to reception at the next opening time to check in and pay. Only persons declared in the original booking can be guaranteed to be accommodated. Except by prior arrangement, we might not have space if you arrive early. Our wardens are on site most of the time and the Reception is guaranteed to be open from 9am-11am and 6pm-7pm on weekdays (5-7pm on Friday), 9-11am and 5pm-7pm on Saturday and 9-11am and 6-7pm on Sunday.

Late check outs may be possible, but you must confirm this with Reception on the morning of departure. Departure after 12 noon unless by prior agreement will incur a late departure fee. No refunds can be given for departing nights early.
Customers will be informed of their pitch number on arrival, in reception, or by referring to our arrivals board. The pitch is allocated according to the specified requirements made at the time of booking and is determined by a computerised booking system. Whilst every effort will be made to meet specific requirements for a particular pitch, no guarantee can be given.
Before pitching please ensure you have checked your pitch number, as specified on our arrivals board, to avoid being asked to move. We may, on occasion, have to move previously allocated pitches in order to make the best use of the pitches available. In these circumstances, if the pitch allocation is unacceptable to you, then we will refund all monies paid provided the information you provided upon booking was accurate (e.g. length of your vehicle). Our liability will not extend beyond this refund.
