Reviewer: Funinsun 31 reviews from this member

 Our visit to Three Cliffs Bay Caravan and Camping Site was outstanding. Great sea views over the bay, which is easily accessible via a short walk.

The hardstanding/all-weather pitches were level, included electric hook-up and water points, and came with both a picnic table and a fire pit for evenings.

The amenity block had spacious private shower rooms (each with a toilet and sink) with underfloor heating, which was a real luxury.

For our dog, the dedicated dog walking area and warm water dog showering points made post-beach cleanups incredibly easy.

The well-stocked, licensed on-site shop selling local produce and fresh goods was bonus!

 Stunning views and good quality facilities and friendly staff. Lots to do around the area, walks, beaches and cycling although be prepared for the hills, but the exercise just makes the on site van food worth the effort even more.

The individual benches and fire pits on the pitches with sea views are a good touch and worth the effort to catch as much light and sea breeze as possible, without a doubt in our top 2 sites visited and would certainly return.

The weather did help as rained first night but then two days of sunshine, showed it in its full glory.

Oxwich worth the walk along the beach which is reached via a bit of a hike, but the views are stunning so stay with it and pub/ hotel/restaurant in Oxwich not cheap but worth the visit.

Reviewer: Barker99 2 reviews from this member

 The bathroom and kitchen facilities were modern, clean and very good.

The shop had everything needed.

The views are stunning.

The walk down to the beach is quite steep and only accessible by foot, I wouldn't recommend to attempt it with a pram or if you have trouble walking.

Some of the pitches are on a slope, the slope was quite a bit steeper than expected which made sleeping a bit more difficult.

Reviewer: Hicky70 6 reviews from this member

 We stayed from the Monday of Aug bank hol, the signage isn’t the best however in the age of smart phones this is a consideration if you are a map type of person.

The lane into the site is very tight and has some blind corners that has to potential for some embarrassment if reversing skills aren’t tip top however I’m not sure the owners could resolve this it’s something to be aware of.

The ablutions are some of the best I’ve experienced, plentiful hooks for hanging clothes/bags, both clean and warm(1/5th had with baby facilities). Warm outdoor shower for wetsuits/bodyboards and a hand held one for dogs. The site was fairly full and we didn't have to wait very often for anything.

Every pitch seemed to have EHU and a shared tap which is something I’ve not often seen.

The views are fantastic if on the seafront field however you need a strong tent. It is a straight forward walk to the fantastic beach if you’re sure footed.

The service is fantastic, plentiful polite staff. A good booklet given out on arrival with a wide variety of info for local(walkable) attractions.

You genuinely have everything on site available from the shop(Aldi/Lidl roughly 1/2 hr away) however it is very pricey, the on-site food is again is fantastic, again pricey.

Would I go again, yes, it’s one of the best sites I’ve been to, one addition would be a park/playground on the large playfield(has poles as goals). Also there’s a large enclosed dog field.

A great campsite with fantastic facilities, the shop is pricey though.

Reviewer: Ianjac 3 reviews from this member

 Excellent location and facilities.

Great welcome in reception/shop on arrival and escorted to pitch overlooking fantastic bay.

Told of local walks and where to start them. Despite some heavy rain walked to excellent pub through woods. On nicer day walked down to bay which we had to ourselves.

Stay not long enough as we were at end of a 5 week Gower tour.

Date of Visit: October 2021 Unit:  Motorhome
Nights stayed: 2 Travelling as:  Family with older children
Reviewer: #deb# 24 reviews from this member

 Overall I feel this is a good site. The views from the sea view pitches were wonderful and the greeting staff excellent.

Motorhome pitches though gravel had significant grass areas to drive over to get there. We got stuck on our pitch as it was down a little grassy hill, and had to be towed out. It seemed an odd choice of pitch for our large unit.

The toilet blocks are all unisex which confused our teen son and indeed I didn't enjoy letting my daughter go unaccompanied either. They all usefully have a basin and shower along with the toilet in each 'room'. However on our visit they were cold (there was mention of underfloor heating elsewhere) and the hot taps took a very long time to produce hot water and the hand dryers were also cold.

The site has a good shop and ample dog facilities. Tent camping is on a steep hill which is peculiar but enjoys good views.

Overall it was the most expensive site on our recent tour with some modest plus points but I would be unlikely to visit again.

Reviewer: Frank66 1 review from this member

 Beautiful well maintained and friendly camp site, excellent location and views, with superb on site facilities.

The convenience shop is very well stocked and reasonably priced with the option of takeout breakfast or pizzas.

We will book again to explore the coastal paths not least to enjoy the bay vista.

The weather was the only bane and our equipment faired excellently in what is an exposed camp site.

Looking forward to our next visit.

Reviewer: Fern4664 3 reviews from this member

 Great site with the most incredible toilet and shower facilities! Great shop on site too, very handy. And they serve takeaway breakfasts! Very decent sized pitches, with EHU Picnic bench and fire pit. Really helpful friendly staff.

There's plenty of walks locally, a the beach is in easy walking distance (and PLENTY of other beaches close by) and a paddle from Gower Heritage park if you catch the tide right.

There's a lovely little cafe/bakery just down the road too next to Gower Heritage Park. We have rebooked for the end of September, little disappointed that to bring a second small 2 man on the same pitch for our teenage children is not permitted, have to pay for 2 pitches (hence the VFM and Child Friendliness rating), so we are all bunking in together.

I have to say though, that for younger children there is a park and plenty of space to run around,

So overall child friendliness as long as they are in the same unit as you, is great! But on facilities, location and staff it is SUCH a great site!

Reviewer: Sueshed 1 review from this member

 This is beautiful site very well kept and clean. Try to get a sea view pitch as the view is tremendous.

The showers & toilet block are exceptional - the best we have ever used. Immaculate with under floor heating they were brilliant. The staff were really friendly.

The only thing that lets it down we’re the prices in the shop. They were very expensive almost extortionate especially the alcohol & I felt I had been ripped off so I bought elsewhere.

It’s also very tight getting there with an 8 ft wide caravan.

Reviewer: Debbie 1 review from this member

 Very welcoming. Neat tidy campsite. Would recommend to others and tried to book again. Very popular site.

Best view on Gower arguably one of best in UK. Staff very helpful. Guidence to your pitch from the wardens.

Off ground fires for hire and bbqs allowed. Well stocked shop. Very impressed. Access to water and disposal point. No toilets or shower block access at present as per government guide lines.

But a great holiday park.

Reviewer: Nuphoria 1 review from this member

 You can't really go wrong with this place. They have superb facilities which are kept very clean, friendly staff and a wonderful spot with gorgeous views.

Generally quiet, chilled guests and well behaved dogs there too which makes for a nice relaxing break. The shop is well stocked with goodies and essentials (which I believe ice cream to be!).

Pitch for electric camping was a little bit narrow but plenty of room for a four man tent and outside kitchen, firepit etc. Wind breaks essential as you're up on a windy cliff top and cooking or fire gazing can be a bit blowy!

Definitely would gleefully return to Three Cliffs again.

Reviewer: Grannyjones 15 reviews from this member

 This is one of the best campsites we have stayed on. The customer service was second to none. It is family run and their attention to detail shows.

There is a well stocked shop on site which doubles up as somewhere to get a coffee and cake etc or a savoury snack. As mentioned in previous reviews, the showers and toilets are stunning and kept meticulously clean.

My only disappointment was that they were unisex but it would not stop me from returning. The site has some good walks out of it and is very dog friendly. The Gower Inn which is within walking distance is dog friendly and serves a good selection of food. Families with small children would struggle with the walk down to the beach but if you are reasonably mobile, the couple of steep bits should present no problem at all.

Levelling blocks are needed for most pitches. Free Wi-fi too always a plus! 


Date of Visit: May 2018 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Cfurn 21 reviews from this member

 This is probably the best site we have stayed on to date. It's in a superb location with amazing views all round. The site is a lovely size - not too big, but big enough to be fairly sociable and have a good shop and cafe. The staff on site were all very friendly, helpful and welcoming.

The facilities were second to none, with beautiful modern toilets and showers. The cubicles had been well thought out with a shelf for your washbag, hooks to hang your clothes out of the way of the water splashing and even under floor heating.

We paid extra for a sea view but I'm not sure it was really worth it, as you couldn't see the sea from the van and you could have walked to look at the view in a couple of minutes anyway. Also, the other pitches were a little lower down and so more sheltered. There was a freezing cold wind when we were there!

There are some amazing beaches locally, but you will need to drive to them. Although Three Cliffs Bay looks stunning from the site, it is too dangerous to swim there. Also, the walk down to it is very steep and it seems even steeper on the way back up! Worth it though, our dog loved running on the beach.

 We went in the last weekend of the season. Luckily the weather was in our side. Worth paying extra for the sea view pitches, which overlook the magnificent Three Cliffs Bay.

Great, very clean facilities. Good walking area, with beautiful beaches.

First class.

Date of Visit: July 2017 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Paulanddavid69 3 reviews from this member

 We have been visiting this site as campers and caravaners for the past thirty or so years. When we first went it was just a field with a simple toilet block. We were poor students then so the simplicity and low cost suited us just fine. Over the years the facilities have got better and better and the price has gone up. Currently this is a very high end site and quite costly, but we have never felt that it is over priced for what it is.

The views are stunning; on one side you can see for miles across the Gower Peninsular; on the other, from the cliff top, you look out over the uniquely beautiful Three Cliffs Bay, across the Bristol Channel and out to the coast of the West Country.

The washrooms are excellent, comprising of 20 self-contained, very modern wet rooms, each with shower, toilet and basin. This is nice and private and the numbers are ample for the size of the site. Not once did we have to wait or queue for a shower. They seem to be cleaned regularly throughout the day so, whenever we went in, they were spotless.

The staff are very helpful and friendly, there are plenty of them and they really look after the site; which is very well maintained and landscaped.

The shop is well stocked for what it is and there is a nice coffee area.

This is a very dog friendly site, with two areas suitable for spending, each with a dog bag bin. A big plus for us it that open fires are allowed, with logs for sale at the shop and fire baskets for hire.

Above all, this is a site with character. Despite being well organised and laid out, it still has the feeling of wildness and spontaneity that so attracted us 30 years ago. This may be down to the location. It might also have to do with the lack of 'thou shalts' and 'thou-shalt-nots' with which one is bombarded at so many other sites. There seems to be an assumption that people will behave in a considerate and civilised manner without being told how to and, surprise, surprise, they do.

We had a magical time and will be going back, hopefully, for another thirty years to come.
