 Have just come back from two nights at this campsite. Was generally happy although I echo the other review that said you need to take own toilet roll and soap and there is no hot water in basins just in showers.
Wheelchair facilities were not at all suitable, in the ladies there is a disabled shower unit, except the wide door is blocked by sink basin so no wheelchair could get in and if you could there is a big step into the shower itself.

We paid £18.00 for the night. Make sure you have your own toilet paper and soap to wash your hands after using the ablutions because this site did not provide any of the above. Their reason 'because people are using it'??? (I thought that was what part of the site fee was for? but maybe Im wrong)
They squashed us in between a large static caravan a couple of vans that were obviously being stored and various other bits of junk.

In our caravan site book this site advertises disabled facilities. I telephoned to check that these were suitable for a wheelchair and was told that they were. I booked for three nights and paid £54 (£18 per night) when we arrived at the site. The so-called 'disabled facilities' consisted of 2 helper bars in a shower cublicle. The shower floor was at least 6 inches above the ground and there was no seat. There was no disbled toilet. When I complained and asked for a refund, I was offered a credit note for two nights. I asked to see the owner and was told that he would come and see us when he came back to the site. However, he failed to come although he came back to the site at least once while we were there. After some persistence we managed to get a cash refund of £35.

Our first camping experience, and we enjoyed it so much we came back two weeks later.
Facilities were fine. Toilet block cleaned regularly, shop adequately stocked, staff friendly. What makes the place is its location. Can hop straight onto the beach from the campsite. Would recommend the rockpools beyond the salthouse in the fourth field and the coastal walk through National Trust land at the back of the site. Our kids (4 and 2) loved it and we would happily recommend it.

Great site. The site was full while we were there, but there was still plenty of room between tents.
Don’t bother going to find a better beach because the one you’re camped by is the best you’ll find. If it rains there’s still loads to explore in southern Wales, so although the beach is fantastic you’re not lost without it.
The site is on a little slope, but nothing too bad. The far field has the best views, but it’s a good trip to the toilet. The hot water was only warm and the second facilities block was a little basic, but this was nothing that detracted from the beautiful site for me. One note for the owner – the outdoor showers for wetsuits are a great idea, but they need drains because the river of mud running from them is a nuisance.
For me the only thing that this site lacked was a good local pub, but on the plus side this forced us to travel out for pubs and eateries and that’s how we came across some super places.
This site is most definitely on my ‘Will Return To’ list.

After an hour of driving round the Gower looking at campsites we came to the end of the road and found ourselves here.
Fantastic views if you camp in the 4th field but a bit of a walk to the toilet, well worth it though.
Toilets / showers clean enough but had to que.
Very friendly staff and good to see them patroling the site and generally keeping their eye on things.
Overall a nice site, the best we found on the day......we shall definitely return, we have found our new weekend break site, looking forward to many more visits.

We (my hubby, myself and 2 kids 9 + 6) stayed here the first weekend in August. It was absolutely jam packed. You are left to find your own pitch which proved quite difficult if you want to be anywhere near the toilet. We settled for a small space in the first field near the shop/entrance with the toilets at the top of the field.
The site is in a beautiful location with a great beach right next to it.
The staff were helpful and the shop seemed to be permanently open it had everything we had forgotten so we were happy, cheap too. Take toliet roll or buy some as they do not supply it in the toilet blocks as it caused too much waste.
The facilities were a bit basic for the money we paid, £18 a night for a small tent and 1 small family. We have stayed on far better sites for less than half of this amount. The dishwashing water was barely warm, the laundry had no light, the showers had no where to put your clothes etc whilst in there. They were clean enough considering the amount of people staying there.
The most annoying thing was the noise that went on very late children were left to run riot and music was blaring loudly. (I like music yes but not crazy frog at 11 o'clock at night) The best time is the middle of the night hearing the waves and nothing else it was very relaxing.
If they put in more showers/toilets in the other fields I'm sure it would be worth the money as people would spread out more

Well How can I put it :
Positives : Location, location, location... that's it for the positives.. can't think of anything else.
Negatives :- 4 Big fields packed, even before the school holidays started...
1. I would estimate 500-800 people on site to use 2 small shower/toilet blocks, which can be quite a distance from your tent. Showers poor 16 showers in total for whole site. Shower block on second field was poor condition, first field showers had been modernised. No hot water for showers or washing, queues of dozens of people every day all day waiting to use the showers. No plugs for any sinks.
2. No toilet paper provided in any toilets...
3. No Hot water to wash dishes or at wash up. No plugs for sinks
4. One single rubbish point at entrance to park only. For a site this size, should at least have one per field.
5. Shop extremely expensive.
6. Music often played at quite loud levels.
7. Expensive.....
Well that says it all to sum it up, they are quite happy to take your money, but don't expect anything for it. Poor site, but great location if you want to be right next to the beach.

Family Holiday over the Whit Week at the end of May/start of June.
The site was busy over the weekend, but not too noisy, the showers / toilets were clean, some queueing in the morning - a good excuse for a longer lie-in.
Always site staff available, friendly and helpful.
Once the weekend crowd had gone the site was quieter and no queues.
A great site with a nice clean beach next door.

We stayed here at the end of June. Both thought it was excellent value for money and a lovely site. We were in the field nearest the shop and had lovely views of the beach and sea, even when tents were pitched in front of us. It was relatively quiet and so the showers and loos weren't over burdened.
Apart from the horrendous downpour we had on the second night which made lots of campers, us included, give up and go home, it was a great break.

Carreglwyd is a beautifully clean and tidy campsite in a superb coastal location. We were delayed, and then got lost, and arrived after 10.30pm but the owners were helpfulness and politeness personified.
The hook-up field is tiered which gives flatter pitches and good seaviews but perhaps a bit crowded when the site was full. I imagine it could be quite windy under certain wind directions and this was born out by banks on the seaward side of the site. The toilet blocks were modern and generally clean and tidy.
Site security is good with an entrance barrier personally controlled from the adjacent reception.
We were there for a long weekend and many people left on the Sunday. The tent field was almost empty by Sunday teatime The small site shop sells a wide variety of food, souveneirs and beach equipment
The site is located adjacent, 5 minutes walk, to a scenic blue-flag beach, with lifeguards in attendance which would be ideal for families. Dogs are banned from the beach during the summer months, though they are allowed on the site on leads.
There are 2 fish and chip shops and shops selling beach and water sports equipment near to the beach. There was also, a pub and tiny post office in the village. It would be best to take food with you as food shopping is limited to the camp shop and post office.
The other beaches and sights of the beautiful Gower peninsula are within easy driving distance. Swansea is a pleasant modern city which can be reached by car or a local bus service which stops near the site entrance.
The 18 mile drive down from Swansea is on roads which have some narrow stretches and the last part through the village is particularly narrow and needs to be approached with care.
At £20.00/night for 2 adults, caravan and electricity it was quite expensive but it does have an outstanding coastal location.

The position of this site is superb - right on beach - sandy patrolled family beach and also more interesting rocky and shingle areas where dogs are allowed even in summer. Wonderful walks and access to a fish and chip shop which if weather is iffy is useful!
There are 4/5 fields and the one with hook ups is the least pleasant and most cramped I suspect except when very busy. The loos and showers are in 2 blocks in fields 2 and 3 and at top of a slope but hot showers are free.
You need to take loo roll because they have stopped providing it due to misuse by some inconsiderate visitors. We were there at the end of half term and the weather was variable so there was lots of space - at peak weekends I imagine arriving on the Thursday would be a better bet if possible.
Booking not possible except for hook ups. A lovely site in a super position - we will be going back - and there were over 30 of us!!

Stayed here over the bank holiday weekend.
First of all the price, £16 a night for a dome tent! You had to pay for the minimum 3 nights. No marked pitches and some people were jammed in like sardines!
The facilities - cold showers, no toilet paper and the toilet blocks were always disgusting.
No ice pack service - you had to puy ice cubes from the shop.
Some of the people running the campsite were rude and unwelcoming. Although others were pleasant and friendly.
Port Eynon is lovely and the campsite is in such a good location, which I suppose is why they get away with providing so little on site. There are 2 chip shops, one really nice pub the Smugglers Haunt, there is also another pub further down the coast.
If the campsite was better run and facilities improved, I wouldn't hesitate in going back because of the fab location. But until this happens we'll be gving it a wide berth!

I really love this camp site because it is so close to the beach and if you pitch in the fourth field, the view is wonderful!!
We arrived on a Saturday and it was slightly chaotic as there are no pitch markings so we had to find a decent space and it was pretty packed! The full sign went up soon after and despite the number of people packed in, it was surprisingly quiet at night.
Went for a walk along the beach on Sunday and when we came back the site had half emptied. It seemed that a lot of people from Swansea came down for a weekend camp and so packed up to go home Sunday afternoon!
The toilet blocks are fine - the one in the first field is more modern but the second one was adequate. The fourth field offers the fab views but is a long way from the toilet block...!
Shop is adequate and the people ok if not a little hassled by the number of campers.
Can walk to the pub and fish and chip shop very easily and have a bonfire on the beach which is fun.
Great place, will be going back!!!!

First time I'd been back to this site as a family man. Pleasantly surprised. Real family site - dogs allowed on leads.
The showers were fine in both blocks. Some sloping pitches, but also plenty of flat ground.
Very close to beach and shops. Regular security patrols and nice weather. Will return soon.
