What a lovely site. It was easy to get to from jctn 47 M4, we were made very welcome by the wardens, who explained the lay out of the site and suggested that we might like to pitch at the back of the site to be near the gate to the dog walk, but did say that we could pitch where we liked. It's the first time, ever, that I have been on a perfectly flat pitch and didn't need any adjustments to get a level bed. I liked the key entry security and the key to allow access to the local sports field where I could walk the dogs.
The showers were spotless at all times, even at the weekend when the site was full, and there was always plenty of hot water. The whole site was kept very clean, I never saw the bins anywhere near full, and they seemed a very busy team cutting grass etc, but with time for a cheery chat if you wanted to.
As it was Father's Day my daughter wanted to visit and the wardens couldn't have been more helpful in welcoming her and her family to the site.
Gowerton had lots going for it with a small Tesco/garage, good chip shop, a great Indian takeaway and the Welcome to Gower pub which does very good food at reasonable prices.
We also found Sunnyhaven Caravans near by who were very helpful when we needed an awning light.
We visited Pembrey Park which is good value at £5 per car with lovely walks and lots for children to do, the woodland walk is well mapped and directions very clear.
We also did the Rhossili Beach walk, a beautiful sandy beach with millions of razor shells all over it, with a handy car park at Llangennith, and the Mumbles beach, an enormous stretch of sand at low tide (and nothing at high tide !) which also had plenty of car parks around.
Would we return ? Yes, definitely, probably this summer.
This was our first ever stay in our first ever van. We'd previously had to postpone our journey due to a weather warning and were advised it would be ok to visit the next weekend. The person I spoke to on the phone was really helpful when I explained why we would be postponing. On arrival at the site, we found the reception to be well spaced out and clearly very well maintained. Booking in was easy and the receptionist explained how the site worked and the pitches that were available. She tried to explain how to park at the pitch but we ended up getting it wrong. We asked reception for advice and 2 members of staff walked over to help us. Again they were very friendly and happy to help. The facilities at the site are spotless and again well maintained. There is also a playground (more suited to younger children) and a tourist information cabin with information about the park and places to visit. Tesco express is a 10 minute walk away. All in all, we had a really lovely weekend at a great site and will be booking again soon. One word description?: Classy. :)
Mmmmmmm ! Ok the site itself is very well maintained with immaculate toilet / shower facilities and friendly wardens but it's situated in a very deprived area (backing a playing field with a council estate on one side and mud flats on the other ! There is a well stocked Tesco express at the garage 15 mins walk and a Harvester pub just over mike away ! But that's about it ! Take a tour around the local area and it's not very nice at at all ! There are a lot of better located sites on the Gower so don't waste your time here ! We will not be back
Only stayed the night here but couldn't fault it. Whole site was spot less with extremely helpful staff. Pitches were really nice size and level. Did get very bitten in the evening so be aware and take some citronella. Little one loved the play area but better suited for older kids (my little one is only 3). Really nice dog walking area. Showers were amazing, probably the best shower I have ever had on a camp site. Local town very close with everything you need.
Gowerton has easy access for towing, and is just 10 minutes from the M4. It is level and in a rural setting but not isolated. You can hear the traffic in the distance but it is by no means intrusive. In fact it was really quiet, even when it was full on the weekend which was at the start of our hot Summer.
The site has a really nice lay-out, a big site but lots of separation area's makes it feel smaller. It has a separate enclosure for guest parking/late arrivals area with EHU's. Very impressive.
Nice clean shower block with lashings of warm water and provides a second toilet block for when the main block is being cleaned, all with key access for your peace of mind.
Good dog walks, Childrens' play area, rally fleld, fish & chips/newspaper deliveries and is so close to so many beauty spots and attractions only this part of Wales has to offer, they really are too numerous to mention.
Gowerton village also has its own railway station reaching as far as Fishguard or London if you have family wanting to join you.
There is a members only (key-access) walk from the site to a large, dog-friendly Park with benches, it has a children's' playground, good walking and cycling paths, and there are public toilets in the park club-house. There is also a teenagers skate-board park and Basket Ball court adjoining the main Park.
The 'Welcome to Gower' public house near the local garage does a very nice lunchtime daily Carvery For £5. 95. We had Turkey & Beef with a selection of fresh vegetables, including cauliflower cheese and all the trimmings.
The Garage sells essentials but the nearest Aldi is about a 15 minute drive away in Gorseinon. It is approx 30 mins to Swansea with all that a city has to offer.
At under £18 all in, including awning, EHU & 2 dogs etc, plus key access Security, it is good value and another fine example of the benefits of joining the Caravan Club.
We enjoyed a great week here and I just have to thank Paul, the hard-working and cheerful warden for a warm and appreciated welcome, and for taking time to explain all we needed to know on our first visit to Gowerton. He keeps this wonderful, busy site in order without being dictatorial. He gets our top vote for Best Warden.
I recommend Gowerton campsite to you all, and we look forward to returning to Gowerton Ourselves soon.
Just got back from and overnight stay at Gowerton, the weather was stunning and site looked full, however toilet block remained spotless throughout. Play area that our grandchildren enjoyed. There were plenty of kids on site but we did not feel they were a problem. The Wardens were friendly and helpful.
Great dog walk, a wooded area with plenty of paths for dogs and walkers to explore, if I had one small criticism it would be that dog walk could do with gates to stop dogs getting back onto site.
The pitches were flat and spacious divided up into small fields with a mix of hard standing and grass in each field. These fields then divides by hedges of mature trees. There was enough bird life to keep our grandson occupied.
There was a bit of traffic noise from adjoining roads but the lane outside site is well used but I walked dogs without a problem.
Didn't get chance to get to local pubs but will put that right next time we visit. The wardens have a comment book in the information hut which is full of feedback on local Eateries and there seemed to be many recommendations.
As for location, Gower is just around coast with every thing that the beach lover could want, the Brecon Beacons are within an hours drive with all walking and mountains they are justly famed for.
This site is an excellent base from which to visit such areas. Swansea and Mumbles have plenty to offer and Cardiff and the rest of Southwales is easily accessible.
The site is on the edge of Gowerton which is an unattractive small town with little to recommend it. The site is reasonably level with tree edged paths and one side bounded by a fairly busy road which can be noisy in the evenings and night. (There is also some noise from the nearby railway. ) This side of the site is open to the Loughor Estuary and can be blowy as we found out!
The toilet block is spacious, modern and kept very clean, with the added convenience of an additional block available during cleaning( other sites note!)The laundry room has 1 washer and 1 dryer plus sinks and is reasonably priced and very well kept. I never had to queue or wait to use either.
The site was fairly busy over the Easter period with numbers of children on bikes and scooters round and round the washblock. There is a children's play area so this should not be allowed and some of the children appeared to be under no supervision at all. As a mum with a ten year old I found this surprising on a CC Site. The wardens and assistants were friendly and gave info and recommendations on the local area.
The area has lovely beaches and walks but little of cultural or historical interest. Without good weather there is a limited amount to maintain interest.
The Wetland Centre in nearby LLanelli is excellent as is the Archery and Falconry Centre at Perriswood. The National Waterfront Museum was a real let down, the exhibits are supposedly cutting edge and cover Wales industrial and technological history but we found it boring and lacking in interest even for keen students of social history. One to miss unless the weather is truly appalling.
For a good meal and very good service try the Greyhound Inn in Llanrhydian, excellent value and gorgeous Gower lamb, beef and cockles. Also Verdis on the Prom at Mumbles, wonderful ice cream and huge portions!
Nice friendly wardens, easy access & a good location for Swansea area, sports centre next door & loads of choice supermarkets within 5 mins of site. We had a lot of rainfall which killed of most of the site, even lots of the hard stand pitches were turned off, strange the way they have hard stand pitches out on there own away from the road, so you still need to drive over all the grass to get to them. But that will put you nearer the railway line but doesn't make to much noise. Good size pitches & immaculate toilet block.
We really enjoyed our stay at this site. It is very well appointed, with clean, secure facilities. The wardens were very helpful and welcoming.
Whilst we were on the Gower the weather was poor, but we enjoyed exploring the area's beaches, hills (not huge) and lanes.
If you are planning a visit to the Gower, then bring plenty of loose change for the car parks, and if, like my wife, you have difficulty walking on uneven ground, then do a bit of research as to which beaches are easiest to visit.
Oh, and if you are taking a dog (as we did) then they are banned on a lot of the area's beaches from May to the end of September.
We took our first trip ever to this site on the Royal Wedding weekend and have to say we found it very good.
Received a warm welcome from the wardens and found the site very clean so much so that my kids actually kept asking to use the showers.
Loved the fish and chips on the Fri night (also available Sat). There is a train line which runs close to one part of the site but we found that to be no issue. About 20-30 mins from some of the lovely Gower beaches its an area much overlooked en route to Tenby etc but it is well worth a visit.
The site is well laid out and you are not crammed in like sardines are you are on some of the more commercial sites closer to some of the beaches (but for which you may still face taking the car or having a fair walk).
