 Second year for our visit, excellent site for walking activities. Yes toilets a little walk but this year brought our own sealable bucket, a lot easier. However, the pubs the same distance. Recommend the Half Moon for atmosphere and food and the Priory bar for food.
Watch the top of the field in very heavy rain spring might pop up in the area rest of the field ok. Recommend the site if you want a basic field. Does get busy on weekends.

A really lovely spot. Entirely basic, a field with a tap as described in the other reviews, but run by lovely owners and in a beautiful setting. It's also very cheap (£3/night when I was there).
The pub next door in the hotel/ruined monastery is one of the most charming pubs I've ever been to. There is also a hotel and a pony-trekking centre on site which looked good.
The only downside is perhaps the toilet block, which is a little grim; but it is only about 3 minutes up the hill from the field (contrary to previous review).
There is no mobile phone reception. I came back entirely refreshed by the tranquillity and beauty of the place.

The site is a basic field next to a working farm with a tap. There are public toilets in a car park a short walk up the hill. The site is often used by Duke of Edinburgh groups and school trips, so sometimes can be crowded. The site is next to a public abbey which can get quite busy and the pub in the abbey has normal opening hours so toilets get well used. There are no showers.
Having said that, the location is utterly gorgeous being on the doorstep of the ruins of an abbey with a small pub and hotel built next to it and the Black Mountains are just behind that. Pony trekking and walks are on site too.
The pub provides food and local ales and the shop sells local meat for BBQs.
Around and about there are other pubs and a lovely town with a wooden church. I love the place and down sides are overwhelmed by the £3 cost, the beauty of the site and friendliness of the locals.

Lovely simple site. Just a field and a tap as mentioned by other reviews. It had rained a lot recently but although there were the usual furrows caused by vehicles immediately at the entrance to the field, the field wasn't unpleasantly muddy to camp in.
Nice bar in the hotel nearby and a nice little pub with a log burner going in the winter just around the corner.
The nearest toilets are actually in a car park a couple of hundred yards up the road but they are well maintained (I believe by the local park authority). There was also a touch-screen showing the Met Office weather site for the area in that same car park.
The camping field is very easy to find - but only once you know what you're looking for! If you drive into the little area containing Llanthony Priory (with Court Farm itself and a church) then you've gone fractionally too far.
The turning into the field is on the right as you approach the buildings, just before the barn.
However the turning is rather sharp, so it's actually easier to drive straight to the car park at the end of the road (next to the Priory), then turn around and approach from there (therefore turning left into the field).

This was our first camping trip and we enjoyed ourselves.
The good points: The views were great - beautiful hillside scenery all around the field we stayed in. The ruins from the priory were interesting to look at, and it was good to have a couple of pubs near at hand. We also enjoyed a day trip into Abergavenny. It was also reasonably priced at £3 per adult.
The iffy areas: The facilities were bare- only toilets and a tap for drinking water (we were happy with this though as it meant it cost less to stay there). There was no soap in the toilets. It took several mins to walk from the field to the toilet block. It took 15 mins along a narrow country road to get there.

Nice clean friendly site , a bit wet in our field , but we had a tow out by the farmer , would return again. Very nice simple campsite , no Ehu's or suchlike , just a stand pipe and toilets in the car park , very happy nice onsite bar selling hot meals etc , worth the journey for the fresh air and the stunning scenery .

As the previous reviewer has already said, this is a very basic site consisting of a field with a water tap and.Well, that's it. The toilets are up near the carpark about a 3 minute walk away and are public so don't expect an attendant to take your coat on the way in. The road leading up to the campsite can be quite hairy at times due to the narrow lanes around bendy corners so that's probably why they are a tent (or small campervan) site. Once you get there, you are spoilt for choice. You can either grab a pint at the Priory Hotel bar and mooch around the ruins or walk across a field to the other pub called The Half Moon Hotel, or trek up to the Offa's Dyke path or head toward the Black Mountains opposite. That's without getting into the car where Abergavenny is in one direction and Hay on Wye the other.
Now for the gripes. The Priory hotel does not allow dog's onsite around the ruins so can't get a pint with doggy in tow BUT the Half Moon across the field does, so you can take the pooch into the bar with you and both enjoy a game of darts or something. Those darn cockerals. I counted three somewhere close at about five in the morning. It's a working farm so enjoy the occasional wiff of working farm cowsmell, oooarrr!
Lovely quiet place most suitable for walkers and for those wanting a non-commercial campsite experiance. Very laid back attitude and cheap at three quid an Adult. I'll go again, definitely.

Excellent site in fantastic location. We have a motorhome but the lane is VERY narrow to get to the site but is well worth it. Set on a farm next to Llanthony Priory at the foot of Offas Dyke path, if you are into history this is a great place to visit. Lovely & peaceful until the cockerel at the farm decided we should all get up. Very funny though. No electric hook up but that didn't bother us at all, made a lovely change. Highly recommended. 9 out of 10.

Great little campsite set in fantastic surroundings. We camped just for the one night and it was a perfect summer day. The ruins are well worth a look, especially as there is a bar on site that sells Thatchers Gold (cider). The dog loved it too - the site that is, not the cider!
Don't expect much in the way of facilities - it really is just a field and a tap, with toilets and a pub just a minute's walk away. Great location for walking though it was far too hot when we went. And for £2 pppn you can't argue.
Would definitely visit again.

This really is a delightful spot - though it is basic. The field is large and slightly sloping but is well drained although the entrance can get a bit cut up. The loos are public loos in the public car park for the abbey and so they're basic but adequate; and they are a short walk away (although you can drop in for a pint of Double Dragon in the bar on the way past if it is open - also the bar does have loos as well). There is a drinking water tap by the public loos and also one at the top of the field. There is also a rubbish disposal point at the top of the field. There is another pub (The Half Moon) about 200 yards walk along a footpath or along the road. Fees are very reasonable - £2 per adult, £1 per school age child.
Thoroughly Recommended.
