Very warm welcome from owner to what is a very basic site. Just porta loos and one water tap on the field but motor homes can use the farm for chemical waste and a longer fresh water hose. I did not use the porta loos but they were inspected daily. No recycling bins but all bags are collected daily if left by unit.
With all that it is reflected in the price and good value.
Sloping pitches all over field but the views are beautiful and easy access to the Gower coast footpath.
My Husband, my son and myself had a lovely four day stay here, there was only two other family's so lovely if you enjoy the peace and quiet. The views were amazing and fab to wake up to.
Its a very quiet site which suited us and also very basic with just one Portaloo and one cold water tap (watch the nettles around it!)The local Bay wasn't too far away, could be difficult and rocky in places but lovely once your down there with endless rock pools for the kids to explore.
Oxwich Bay was a short car drive away and Port Eynon was about 10-12 mins by car, both are great days out for the family. The local shop is in Oxwich and the cashpoint is in the neighbouring Village of Knelston and they are both pretty well stocked up on everyday essentials.
The only bad point is that the field is more on an incline that anticipated and it did make sleeping a bit awkward. Would I stay here again?. Yes, most definitely!
We stayed here in April/May for the May Day Bank Holiday.
On arrival Kate came and introduced herself and showed us where to pitch on a very basic quiet field, which is just how we like it and what camping is all about :)
The field is sloping in all directions, which makes for great views of the coast, but made sleeping a little uncomfortable.
At the bottom of the field are portaloos and there are a couple of fire extinguishers at the bottom and top of the field, which unfortunately have been used and so are not usable if there were a fire emergency.
We walked via the coastal path to the private beach which was a little tricky in parts but all good fun and the kids enjoyed the walk.
If you like old fashioned basic camping then this site is great. Nice, quiet & scenic.
We chose the campsite by chance, and what luck it was! We arrived quite late at night, and pitched up the tents before night fell, having warned the owners we would arrive quite late. The view from the campsite is amazing, but it's beauty was revealed to us the next morning with the sun shinning and reflecting onto the sea below from us.
The campsite slopes a bit, which means a great view of the Bristol Channel, but also means that we kept sliding down in our bed. To be fair, that would be the only downfall that we found with the campsite, and that wasn't much of an issue.
Kate, the owner as has been said, does at least one daily round to pick up rubbish and clean portaloos, and has been very friendly, inviting the kids to come and see the cows being milked and the calves fed, which was a great experience for them. Even though the Gower Peninsula is of outstanding beauty, we found ourselves quite happy to stay in the campsite not doing much.
The facilities are basic (potaloos and a tap) but that didn't stop us from staying 11 nights on site. The portaloos were clean but did get a bit smelly at times, probably due to the heat. Kate was however on call whenever something needed to be sorted. All in all, 5* rating is the least we could give it.
The other campers were really nice too, and our kids made friends in no time. This is a fairly small and intimate campsite, but gave a sense of camaraderie which I've not experienced in many campsites before.
The 'private' beach is outstanding, with lovely sand and great rockpools where we found an array of creatures, such as shrimps, crabs, starfish and young fish, etc, . The kids loved it! The sea was quite cold but again it's to be expected around the UK, and the water could be a bit rough at times, but made for great boogie boarding, so didn't bother us.
The track down to the beach is a bit rough too, and you can't really take a buggy down to the beach because of the rock climbing but was well worth the effort, I think we went down there 4 or 5 times over our stay, to give you an idea of how good it was there.
All in all, I'd highly recommend this campsite, as long as you don't expect material luxuries and can appreciate natural beauty you should enjoy this campsite as much as we did.
Thanks Kate, Keith and the boys for a great holiday!
Lovely peaceful site. Perfect for myself and my two children. We stayed for 5 nights. The site was clean, grass nicely cut. Kate the owner was very friendly and helpful. Portaloos were clean.
The site has a beautiful view over fields down to the sea, which we could hear at night. Fellow campers were friendly but quiet with no noise at night. We were in bed each night by 9. 15 and didn't hear a peep till we were up at gone 8am each morning.
The site is just above Oxwich beach where there's a café serving cooked breakfast in the summer months. Would def recommend. We only use a site for a base to sleep in so don't need any extra facilities, a looe and fresh water is all we require!
We stayed here last month, and will definitely be coming back! The site is reached by a no-through road, and is a gently sloping field which overlooks the sea.
The facilities are basic - portaloos and a tap - but that's exactly what we wanted, and the fact that you can have a campfire is just wonderful.
Kate, the owner, is very friendly & welcoming, and does a litter run, and loo-check daily. The nearest beach is a 10-15 minute walk. It rained that night before we left (well, it is Wales) and we had to be towed off, but the tractor was on hand to help.
We spent a lovely 4 nights on this site, the owner was lovely and very helpful. The facilities were just right for us, basic and clean, the ability to have a campfire was a big bonus.
The sea views from the site are awesome and the coast path walks are fantastic with great rock pooling on the way to Port Eynon. We shall definitely be putting this one on our list of campsites to recommend and return to.
A fantastic retreat if you want to get back to basics. The facilities are basic to say the least, but what you get what you need a tap and a loo. What you do get is a magnificent view and a sense of camaraderie with the other residents. Everyone was very friendly including the owner.
This was by far my favourite campsite in our three week 1800 mile tour of southern Britain and wales. We only stayed for two nights but I would have loved to have spent longer. A brisk walk down the hill to your own private beach with decent surf for boogie boards as long as you don't mind the jellyfish(non stinging).
A huge contrast to Cornwall where we had been the week before. Some times we had the entire beach to ourselves, at worst two or three families- brilliant. My kids had an absolute ball here making lots of friends as soon as we arrived. Bring lots of food as there are no nearby shops and enjoy this beautiful part of Wales.
