Review - Pont Kemys Caravan Park


Pont Kemys Caravan Park
Chainbridge, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, NP7 9DS
Date of Visit: June 2012
Pitch:
10
Pitch was excellent. Nice clean grass and very large, it was like having our own field. Stone free and when it rained it was well drained. Plenty of space for both tents in our party.
Lovely site - the only downside was the pitch we had was surrounded by the roadway which gave the feeling that we were camped on a roundabout. But there was a hedge surrounding it on one side which helped alleviate this and the river was close by.
Customer service:
8
Owners were very helpful and we were shown to our pitch immediately.  Check in was a breeze.
The owner brought over a picnic table for our exclusive use.
Facilities:
9
Toilets and facilities were very clean, with loads of free hot showers and just the right distance away from the pitch.
Only having to queue once at 'rush hour' for the showers.
Washing facilities were excellent and there’s the use of a microwave for 20p.
There's a small field suitable for kids to play on, but apart from two goalposts there's not much else for them.
There is a TV lounge, which could do with updating but was adequate for the kids when bored.
There's also an adult only area and another camp field, without EHU which looked picturesque but I’m not sure how noisy it is after 11pm.
There is also a dog walk on the furthest area of the site.
The small on site shop was fairly well stocked and reasonably priced and sold most things including ice cream.
Cleanliness:
9
Very clean camp site and facilities.
Views:
6
Not much of the surrounding area but the river makes up for it.
Tranquillity:
7
Very peaceful most of the time and our pitch had the background relaxing sound of the nearby river, which runs along the site.
The owners golf buggy got a little annoying especially as he started it up at early at 8am and used it continually throughout the day and evenings. Perhaps he should invest in an electric one which would be quieter.
Value for money:
9
Excellent.  Location was also great for exploring the area.
Overall:
9

Would visit again but would ask for the bottom field and forgo the ECU for the lovely location or have a riverside pitch.
Would definitely visit again, one of the most enjoyable sites I have stayed on.
