 About our 10th year at this site with our tent, we love it. Facilities are excellent. Flat pitches in small 'field' areas so doesn't seem too big. They only fill it up to the capacity of their showers, loos etc. So very rare to queue for anything. Very friendly helpful staff. Small shop which stocks enough basics and some gifts, kites, spares etc and beach equipment. Shop and post office and chippy and pub about two miles away, plus garage and shop at Knelston and pub at Rhosilli with stunning views. Views of sea from site. However don't expect supermarket shopping on Gower. Plenty of good pubs in the area though not all of them allow dogs.
Have widened the tracks and put in more drainage, but tent pitches drain well anyway. Generous sized pitches. Small children's playground which seems very popular with all ages.
Plenty of hot showers, washing up facilities, laundry room with machines and sink, baby room with raised level bath, disabled shower and loo, information/tourist room. Everything kept very clean by staff. Dog walks with bins from site.
Lovely walks from site, including down to Mewslade beach which is gorgeous though a bit of a scramble just at the end. Also a car park for this in next hamlet on the way to Rhosilli.
This is a lovely area with lots to do for walkers and beach lovers but little in the way of wet weather entertainment, but that's what probably keeps it so beautiful.

Our Timber Tent which is a wooden hut with a tented porch was located in the Scamper Holiday area for Shepherds Huts and Timber Tents. Our Timber Tent provided 2 full size beds with storage in the timber hut and basic gas cooker with kitchen utensils, chairs and a small table. There was a gas BBQ outside as well. I found it more spacious and functional than the Shepherds Huts which look like Gypsy Caravans. This is the case because if it is raining you have cover in the porch which can also be sheltered by the zip up tent or opened up for good weather. A wind break was also provided along with fresh towels and bedding for all temperatures. An electric fan heater was in the bedroom and a heat lamp was provided in the tented porch to keep us cosy.
I stayed there with 3 teenage girls and found it cosy and not too cramped. We could all eat on the porch comfortably. We could also make use of the grass area where there were chairs and a small bench provided. Our Timber Tent was a short distance from the shower/toilet block which was to a good standard with private showers. Next to this was a Dishes Washing up room with four sinks enough for a full camp ground in season.
The staff were very helpful on arrival and I found everything suited me fine. I would check the inventory before signing off on the deposit as there were a few items missing or no longer provided.
The On site shop was well stocked most days but I found they were lacking in providing a few more common basics like spagettie sauce mixes. There was fresh milk and treats but very few fresh vegetables contrary to what as advertised in their website.
The closest beach is Mewslade Cove which is about 1. 7 miles away through fields and a pleasant walk. However, the tide comes in very early about 3-4 p. M. And it is a very small cove so can become crowded quickly. The surfing is good but not so high as Rhossilly Bay which is about 2-3 miles in the next cove toward Middleton.
I found the camp site quiet except for during the week when there is a local music festival 25th of July for 4 nights in the field nearby.
I would give this camp ground 4 out of 5 stars. People were friendly, staff was on site for extra advice and assistance daily. Professional cleaners doing the cleaning so that is a bonus. You just wash up dishes and turn in the key.
Ideal location for walkers since it is near the coastal path so that is a bonus. I would not take very small children there since unless you have a car it will be difficult to get to and from the beaches. There is a small play ground on site.
Dogs are welcome and there is a Dog Area for walkies. Dogs must be on the lead at all times when walking around.
However, there is a bus stop outside the camp entrance with good connections to Swansea and the other parts of The Gower.

Lovely welcoming site in great location - fabulous coast walks, beaches & scenery.
Stayed in one of the camping fields - sheltered, plenty of space.
Facilities are spotlessly clean, hot water in plentiful supply with a well stocked shop.
We've stayed here before and will certainly return again - a wonderful spot.
The only reason that we haven't commented on child friendly is that we didn't pack one :) But there is a playground & lots to do in the area.

Wonderful site in a stunning area. Owners are so friendly and when we got stuck in mud on arrival in the dark, they were there to jack us up and get us out. Can't ask more than that. Shop is great with everything you could need, and pitch sizes good too. Good dog walking through nearby field and motorhome facilities excellent. Chippy in Scurlage is closed off season which caught us out! Will definitely be back.

Right from booking Pitton Cross was friendly and welcoming. Staff were very friendly. Weather (I know - November) was very windy at night but most days was fine - fantastic views!
We booked on an 'over 50s' deal and it was excellent value for money. The campsite was clean and smart. Teh toilet/shower facilities were clean. Showers for me are sometimes a problem - I am quite small and some showers are situated so high that I have to move around to get wet! The showerheads at Pitton Cross were all at different heights - fantastic. The showers are designed to that you have a small clothes storage area within the cubicle. Very well thought out. The water was always hot!
The dishwashing and laundry facilities were clean and adequate.
The downside was that we had to drive anywhere for a meal or to the pub. Saying that - I wouldn't like a 'clubhouse' as we like it to be quiet and peaceful. We went for lovely walks down to the beach close by.
All in all we loved it and will be back.

Pitton Cross is a nice quiet campsites with lovely sea view but the grass and hedges needed a good cut. There is a shop on site selling necessities and the woman on reception was very helpful and friendly. There are plenty of toilets and showers, all clean and tidy and lots of hot water. The only downside for us was that there are no other shops or pubs nearby, everywhere is at least a 30 min walk or you have to drive. The surrounding area is gorgeous with nearby beaches at Rhossili Bay or Mewslade.

Large pitches, (not enough electric pitches though) the site was only approx a third full but the no vacancies sign was up. They obviously like to keep the site un-crowded which is nice. Be prepared for a trek to the toilets/showers - they are by the park entrance (3 or 4 fields away depending where your pitch is!)and not the cleanest or most modern and unless you have electric hook-up you can forget about drying your hair - there is one useless and ancient hairdryer in the ladies which costs 20p a go (it took 4 goes to get my hair even half way dry! This site is very remote with no facilities other than a small play area for children, so be prepared to drive everywhere, the nearest pub is 2 miles away along an unlit busy road - definitely do not try this with children or a baby buggy or you will be taking your lives in your hands! That said you are right on the coast path so if you like long coastal walks this site will suit you as the scenery is breath-taking. There is a small shop on site for basics (they offer ice pack exchange for 20p each plus £1 deposit) but you will be hard pushed to find any shops for miles apart from a small village shop and chip shop in Scurlage. Probably wouldn't return to this site.

This is our regular annual campsite and we really love it. Staff are pleasant and welcoming and run a well stocked shop for basics and a few fun things and kites. Local shopping can be a bit hit and miss but is better in main season at Scurlage and Knelston Garage. Good chippy at Scurlage.
The site is flat and divided up into smaller areas with sheltering hedges, many pitches have hook ups and there are grass and hard standings. Some have sea views but these can be a bit windy at times. Generous sized pitches.
There are sufficient loos and showers though the men's are less well equipped. Water is always hot. Have read some comments about cleaning in loos but my experience has been that the mess is generated by less careful campers and not related to the cleaning staff! There is a baby bathing room, disabled shower room, washing up room and laundry room.
Small children's playground which seems popular and plenty of tracks for cycling and dog-walking.
Local beaches are gorgeous, Rhossilli of course is famous but Mewslade, nearest to site, is lovely, though you have to walk to it and scramble down the last bit, this keeps it uncrowded and unspoilt. Oxwich has large adjacent car park and gentle sloping beach, loos and food kiosks so great for families and paddling.
The Gower is stunning, with lovely walks and scenery, the view from Rhossili Down is amazing (go up the steep way from Rhossili or along the gentler track from Middleton)
Plenty of nice pubs, decent food and wonderful views from the pub/hotel at Rhossili.
Be prepared for always taking longer to get somewhere than you expect because of Gower's narrow winding roads and don't expect any instant entertainment. Gower is pretty unspoilt though archery and birds of prey centre + heritage centre at Parkmill. Further afield recommend Botanical Gardens of Wales, Wildfowl Centre at Llanelli, Mumbles and various Swansea attractions.

This was our first visit to The Gower and were more than impressed with what we found. This site with friendly and attentive staff proved to be a perfect location for us as we investigated this part of the peninsula.
I have to disagree with the previous review in that the toilet blocks are far from 'dated'. Indeed they were particularly clean (with all the urinals in full working order) and the cubicles and fittings looked relatively new to me.
The hard standing sites are level and have grass beside them so that you can easily pitch awnings, and although we didn't have one it's always nice to step out onto grass rather than a hard surface.
With a young family direct access to beaches might be problematic without a short drive however there are plenty of footpaths from the site which lead short distances to the cliff top paths, various coves and beaches, and to Rosilli Down where you get the most fantastic views. We didn't have to use the car for two days as a result.
There is a well stocked information centre next to reception with plenty of leaflets and maps to help you discover the area.
The owner was working hard replacing power cables for the hookups in the lower field so supplies there should be reliable for a few years to come.
And finally, there is an excellent fish and chip shop 3m back down the road, you can't miss it as you drive towards Pitton Cross - well worth a visit at least once during your stay.

We last stayed on this site in 2006, and to honest it does not look like they've spent any money on it since.
The toilet block is very dated, and whilst planning restrictions prevent them from building a new one, they do not prevent the existing block being refurbished. When we were there the urinals were out of order, and looked like they had been for some time.
The hard standings and site roads make the place feel like a building site and are made from ungraded hardcore (including lumps of orange brick.
That said, the welcome is nice, booking in is efficient, the shop is well stocked and excellent walking opportunities are available direct from the site.
The place needs tidying up a little.

Back again to this lovely site, this time with our new tent instead of ancient trailer tent. Roger and family very welcome as usual. Stayed on circle field, nice and quiet although furthest from facilities. Improved drainage very successful on our three torrential days (out of 15). Electric hook ups and hard standings available. Small hedge-lined fields make it nice and sheltered, as this site can be windy and pitches are very generous.
New children's playground was immensely popular, with children there at crack of dawn and up to early evening with torches! Showers always hot and clean considering this was school holidays. Ladies have more showers etc. Than men, my husband would like some hooks for towels and clothes etc. The men's are a bit basic but I know that local regulations don't allow any further development on site.
Good washing up facilities, laundry room, baby bathing room, disabled shower room, waste disposal, recycling and information room with telephone kiosk.
Site has shop providing all the basics and gifts, kites and beach equipment. Local shops at Scurlage and Knelston garage a bit limited, huge Tesco on way in from M4, best to fill up petrol there too.
Beaches are gorgeous, Mewslade reachable from site by foot, Rhossili beach massive and lovely walks over the Down or up to Worms Head. Extensive parking next to the beach at Oxwich. Mumbles fun to visit, also Parkmill, Falconry and Archery and bus into Swansea from outside site.
Good chip shop at Scurlage, restaurant at Rhossili has good food but many village pubs seem to have good reputation. The Gower is a perfect place for walking, beaches, natural beauty and completely unspoilt - just don't expect lots of laid on entertainment!

Stayed here for the 1st week of our summer holidays and we had a lovely time, the pitches are well away from the main road. We had a level pitch and it was peaceful and quiet with a a no noise rule after 10pm. We chose a pitch on the dog free field which was a considerable distance from the toilet block but even though it was fully booked over the bank holiday weekend it was well stocked and clean. The playground was good (kids review) the shop carried a good range of items and the staff were polite and friendly. There are glimpses of the sea from the site and mewslade bay is walkable from the site 1. 5 miles.
I would certainly recommend this site and would visit again.

This was the first time we have been to Gower and we found it simply stunning ! The scenery was amazing and the beaches second to non. There is just the two of us with our westie dog and we love walking whether on the beach or along the cliff tops, we enjoyed all of it ! The campsite suited us perfectly not too busy and lovely and quite at night. We found the toilets clean and the showers always hot never having to queue once over the whole two weeks we were there. We found the owners very welcoming, the camp shop is ideal selling everything from bread to gifts. We visited all the beaches on our stay the bonus being they are nearly all dog friendly. We were lucky enough to have lovely weather with only one wet day, and came home with a nice Welsh tan friends said it looked as if we'd been abroad! The area has lots of lovely pubs and places to eat. We will definitely visit this site again in the future as we had a fabulous time.

This is a great site right on the edge of Gower and amongst some amazing scenery! It's a good drive from Swansea so there are no supermarkets instead relying on the camp shop or a grocery store down the road (10mins drive) in the village of Scurlage. Prices were very reasonable with lots of local produce.
The site itself was one of the best I've been to with great facilities. Always clean and despite going right at the peak of summer I didn't have to queue for the showers. Lots of people have said that the toilets were a bit dodgy by lunchtime but we never experienced it, and were always clean. There were mop buckets containing bleach in the shower area for campers to clean the shower cubicle after each use which most did. There were, however not enough hooks in the shower and a shelf would be handy instead of balancing shampoo on the pipe! Water was always hot and plentiful.
As I have already mentioned, the site is right on the edge of Gower near to Worms Head. The Worms Head pub is good value with some delicious meals. Well worth it plus excellent views of Rossili Bay.
Beaches were fantastic too. Mewslade is a good walk with a small climb down through rocks onto the beach. My 4yr old managed it in crocs, me in flip flops! Not ideal but the beach was spectacular great for body boarding. Watch the tide though as it's not staffed with Life Guards and it comes in super quick. Rossili beach is stunning too. Vast. Clean, but facilities are a good walk away on the campsite near the entrance.
Other than the Worms Head pub, we visited the Dolphin Inn at Llanrhidian for a pint (only served snacks but the Cockles and lava bread bake is recommended). The Greyhound Pub also in Llanrhidian is fantastic for families! Excellent value food, great service, lots of choice and a fab play area in the back.
All in all, Pitcross is a site we will visit again and again. We had a warm welcome upon arrival and had great knowledge of the local area! Loved it!

This is an excellent site for visiting the beautiful Gower coast Worms head and Rhossillie point
It is out in the wilds being about 28 miles out of Swansea down very winding lanes (note for towing!)
We had a sea view which was great but the weather broke as it does often in this area. Fine if you are the rugid outdoors type however it didn't spoil our enjoyment.
Quiet and restful no noise when we were there and visitors seemed to follow the 'camping code' of mutual respect.
The toilets were clean if a bit outdated and staff were friendly. The shop was well stocked.
Good site for visiting this beautiful area.
