This was not our first choice but as we had left it a bit late to book we went ahead. On line availability and booking very convenient and efficient.
The site is located just about as far as you can go before Rhosilli. Its very picturesque but not convenient for other attractions or facilities so be prepared to drive a lot. Access to the site is straight off the road and is easy to find but the Gower roads are narrow in places so you have to squeeze past traffic in places.
Check in was reasonably efficient owner a little bit dour but ok. Pitches are not pre set so the owner goes off to see what is available when you arrive and we were able to have a choice of pitch. We had booked a hard standing which are made of hard core, and our pitch was level and dry. I'm not going to list the facilities as they are all on the web site but all fairly basic, no frills in standard.
All facilities are located by the entrance, so some distance from some of the pitches. Apparently the site is in a protected area so they are unable to extend or add any further buildings. The ladies showers and toilets were acceptable and water always warm. The wash up and laundry likewise. My other half said the mens were inadequate and not clean. There were mops available in the ladies but I'm not a fan of sloshing dirty mop bucket water around. I never saw any cleaning take place and a pebble left by one of the basins was there for at least 24 hours. The site itself and the bin area were rubbish free and tidy. There was a good mix of ages on site and no rowdiness.
The kids playground has new equipment but my 11 year old was not impressed and my 6 year old preferred to ride around on his bike.
The sea is visible from the site and there are walks over the fields from the site to Rhosilli and one to a rocky cove which my 6 years son and I took one evening. It was a pleasant walk, level and well marked but there are styles to negotiate and the last 400 yards down to the sea were a bit tricky but we made it.
Pleasant site, previously a farm. Friendly reception and good shop. Toilets and showers could do with a little updating and more regular cleaning
We booked a hard standing with ehu. Pitch fine but grass pitches seemed much larger.
Wonderful location especially the walk across fields from the site to the lovely Mewslade beach. Also cycled, on electric bikes, to Rhossili and the Worms Head, Oxwich and Port Eynon (fish & chips recommended. Took advantage of the summer heat wave and spent days on the beach, returning to the site for BBQ in peaceful setting
Had a very peaceful few days here midweek. The site then was fully booked at the weekend and a lot busier. The pitches are a reasonable size and still ok. They could probably do with cleaning the facilities a little more often when this happens as there aren't many ladies toilets and a number were unusable by breakfast time.
The staff were very helpful, they gave us a choice of pitches as we said we would prefer as quiet as possible. Its a much bigger site than we normally use but its in such a lovely part of the countryside. They hire out freezer blocks for a nominal charge and that shop has good supplies and tourist information is available next door.
We would definitely return but probably try to do a monday to friday stay to avoid it being too busy.
Stayed here in absolutely atrocious weather, rain & 45mph winds. Other sites probably have more shelter than this, but it was unusual weather. The next day the skies cleared & we were treated to fabulous views out to sea.
The site is open all year, & reasonable in low season£18a night with no extra charge for electric or dog (there is in high/mid season). Facilities great, all clean & well maintained, free showers etc, & well equipped launderette. Excellent shop, full of gifts, food, kites etc.
Staff were friendly & obliging, had a warm welcome on arrival. Due to the weather didn't attempt walk to beach etc. Apparently a dog friendly pub at scurlage, a couple of miles away. We drove to port Eynon, 15 mins away which had an excellent beach & cafes/takeaway.
Stayed at this site for 2 weeks. Arrived to a warm welcome after a 4 hour journey. Given a chose of 2 pitches next to the play area which must be new and my children 8 and 10 spent many hours in it. We had hardstanding which also had a grass area next to it to pitch the awning. Pitch was a great size plenty of room. The site was full when we arrived but you wouldn't have know it.
Plenty of showers and toilets with lots of hot water showers have a push button (free). Unfortunately due to other campers the toilet block in the evenings did become very dirty with toilet paper on the floor and unflushed toilets and this wouldn't be cleared until the next day. Great washing up area all under cover and washing machine and dryers for the cloths.
The site has a shop which sells all the essentials and not far down the road are small grocery stores with most goods. Swansea has all the big supermarkets. The beaches are a walk from the site and over fences so not suitable for buggys or the less able, but they are well worth the walk if you can.
Some great geocaches all along the coastal path. Our pitch held up well in the welsh weather but in the field behind us a family had to move their tent as it had turned in to a bog. The site does get the wind being on the gower but there are hedges which do help break the wind. The site got quieter the second week but on the BHOL weekend was very busy again.
I cant praise the site manager enough as he was out until 11. 00 pm telling the louder groups to reduce the noise and stop the older children from playing in the park after dark. Great site would return
The ground has suffered from the atrocious British summer we have just returned from pitton cross having had a fabulous time. We arrived last Sunday and was shown to our campsite having started to set up we realised that puddles of mud had formed due to the downpour prior to our arrival.
Day two we spoke to the owners who agreed to move us to a different site. We moved the tent and caravan this then led to our electric hook up lead being too short (we had set the tent up at the front of the pitch to try and give the grass chance to grow) so went and bought a new one. This lead was too tight for the hook up (a fault with the lead not the hook up) so we again spoke to the owners who leant us one of theirs.
The toilet and showers block were clean and a mop was provided for use after your shower, the shop was well stocked. They are fighting a losing battle with the weather but were happy to help us.
The location is absolutely beautiful. We had days on the beaches went into swansea and tenby. Am definitely planning a return visit.
Mixed reviews on this campsite. On arrival reception was helpful and polite and we were given a choice of pitches and chose one with a lovely sea view. Within minutes of starting to put up our tent another of the staff came along and told us we had the tent on the wrong place - we had only just began to put it up and hadn't even got it in position yet, tent pegs were still in the bag!
Toilet block was large enough for the site but got a bit dirty as the day went on and were quite a long way from the pitch, particularly in the dark!
On site shop was good and well stocked but at times the staff were surly and unhelpful.
There was also a large youth camp on site which was extremely noisy at times.
Would consider going back but it wouldn't be my first choice.
About our sixth visit to this site, we always stay for two weeks and love it. Our summer meant it was pretty 'soft' when we arrived but we were helped by Roger and Ian to find a drier spot. We had very mixed weather but the spot remained useable. Always receive a very friendly welcome.
Site is large but divided by hedges which make it pleasant and helps if windy conditions - also means lots of birds (and bats, swallows and frogs from the little reservoir). Nice flowers planted at entrance and around site.
Facilities are excellent - electric hook-ups and hard standings, lots of space, plenty of very clean loos and free hot showers (though less in Men's), disabled facilities, hairdryer in ladies, baby room with counter height bath, laundry with sink, washing machines and dryers, visitor room with all information needed for the area and great washing up facilities. Recycling facilities. Can be a bit of a walk to facilities from some areas of site, but owners not allowed to build anywhere else because of local planning restrictions, as Gower is Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Since last year a new playground has been installed, a big improvement and covers the whole age range, more work on drainage for the site, new double glazed doors and windows on facilities and Roger has a big new mower that picks up the grass, so no bits in your tent!
Camp shop sells the basics, though no fresh veg, but a well stocked food freezer and always plenty of milk + a range of gifts and is the Gower Kite Centre. Also beach equipment and wet suits.
Plenty of nice walks from site, including to local beaches - Mewslade is lovely, though a little scramble through rocky cleft at entrance (I'm 64 but can do it!), need to know tides as it comes right to top, can also access it from car park at Pitton. Also famous Rhossili - steps down but well worth it and Oxwich - accessible by car with car park and food and ice cream kiosks at beach. Mumbles is old fashioned seaside town, Swansea great by bus, nice flat walk to see Worms Head from Rhossili car park. Pick your own samphire on salt marshes on North Gower. Great walk over Rhossili Down to other end, then back along beach or lower ledge.
Helvetia Restaurant at Rhossili is good pub grub with magnificent views, went to Llangennith to Kings Head - good meals and menu and can take dogs into bar but not lounge. Fish and Chips at Scurlage brilliant - cooked to order and a slice of lemon if you don't like salt and vinegar. Small shop at Scurlage and bigger one at garage at Knelston though meat selection often a bit poor, Co-op at Killay is nearest supermarket.
Arrived in pouring rain, so no welcoming committee ! Told to pick spot then sign in tomorrow ! Would have liked more info but I do understand ! No decent phone coverage or wifi which was annoying & refreshing.
Toilets were outdated but large, clean & fine. Site was pretty full but because it's spread around several fields it didn't feel full. Play park was fine for my 6 year old.
Lovely walks from site. Loved Rhossilli which was just down the road. Bought a fab kite from the shop, actually ended up buying 3 they were so good. I would recommend & go again.
This was a perfect site for anyone who enjoys walking across the cliffs with spectacular views and friendly natives.
The camp site was well laid out and while we had worried that it would be too organised it was just right with the facilities you needed appropriately signposted and just sufficient instructions for making all visitors feel comfortable.
There was adequate facilities for servicing the motor home in terms of water and chemical disposal. The hook ups etc worked - what more can I say about them!
The shower block was clean and well lit with a large number of shower cubicles and toilets for the ladies and hairdryers and large vanity mirrors.
The place is quite isolated if you are intending to take a break from driving its important to check bus time-tables and check if the routes involve changes if you don't want to spend considerable time waiting for connections.
There are a number of beautiful coves in the area and the trip into Swansea using the Van was easy to do.
The camp shop was well stocked and the staff extremely helpful.
Will certainly be planning a return trip the Gower Coast around there is just amazing.
A very nice site with a good shop nice staff who own the caravan site.
I would not go back again though, this is a list of good 1st
Large well spread out site with many (fields) to use depending on your unit
Great location for the sea and local area in general best beach Rossili by miles
The worms head
Coastal path and a cave which name has gone from my head
Shop was great and very friendly staff
Very large toilet area for men but small shower area, no area to get dressed inside the showers, so was forced to use the benches outside showers, very dark after dusk
Was told to use disabled shower which was great
Loads of signs about hot water, if it runs out let them know, it was warm at best
My wife’s showers were much better
Toilet waste area was poor, either a loo or a hole in the ground with a flush
Hard standing was hard core like in a building site so uneven and some large stones
Grass area very uneven also where over the years people had parked and left channels
A back to basic style site, nothing wrong with this by the way, it just seems that if they spent as much time with the quality labels and stickers as a bit of gardening it would notice
Also power cables run through the site
In summary this is the best site for this part of the area
We visited this location over the Jubilee/Half Term holiday week. My overriding memory will be of something totally outside of the sites control – gale force winds which arrived on a Thursday night, sweeping across the South West and led to us scurrying to put down the tent in wind and rain before it suffered serious damage.
The site is in a great location near Rhossilii Bay with coastal views from most pitches. Reception is just off the roadway and has a reasonably well stocked shop selling essential groceries, newspapers and a good selection of quality gifts and toys, specialising in kites.
Staff were friendly and helpful. You get to choose your pitch on arrival and inevitably some are further from the toilet block than others, some have better views etc. Arrive early to get the best would be my advice here.
The toilets, laundry and washing up are located in a building back by reception. They are plenty of all, with no queues even over the busy holiday week.
The toilet and shower block is not the smartest I’ve ever seen and could probably benefit from a refurbishment but is perfectly functional. I was a little disappointed that having been told when booking a number of months earlier that they would have a new children’s play area that this was only being installed at the end of the week we were there.
There are a number of excellent beaches in the area, Rhossili itself is nearest but we preferred to drive to the other end of this bay to Llangennith where there is a car park and a short walk through the dunes.
This beach is heavily populated by surfers and whilst there is a £5 car park charge this can go towards a discount at the excellent Eddy’s cafe bar at the top end of the beach car park.
The Gower Heritage Centre nearby is a reasonable and cheap day out and slightly further afield is Swansea and The Mumbles – the LC swimming pool and water park is a good option on a wet day, but book in advance as it gets busy.
This is a remote and very attractive part of the country. We saw a couple of other sites whilst in the area and this did look the best in terms of facilities and potential exposure to the elements. Whilst the remoteness of the Gower does mean it takes a long time to drive here it is certainly worth it and I would return to this campsite again.
Mixed views about Pitton Cross. We stayed in the middle of the school holidays and were placed on the 'overflow' summer camping field.
It was generally flat with plenty of space between pitches. We were taken to the field and given several choices, which was good.
On arrival the computer system was playing up and our booking couldn't be accessed, as we booked online. After waiting a while, the booking eventually came through phew!
Immediately we were struck by how far the field was from the main facilities. We were taken down the dirt track, which was approx 200m long. There was no lighting along the track with open fields to both sides. This wasn't ideal and made loo trips tricky before bed. Take a really good torch or lamp!
The facilities were pretty clean, regularly wiped and mopped each morning. 4 male showers and toilets plus urinals. This was similar for the women. The laundry area was a bonus as was the family room.
The shop was stocked with the basics and a good selection of kites and toys. They ran an ice pack token system 20p each swap.
Great fish and chip shop and groceries at Scurlage and a pub, 5 mins in the car.
Rhossilli Bay was breathtaking. A huge beach with lovely sand overlooking Worms Head. However, it's a long trek from the high car park- 100 + steps and very steep, not buggy friendly!
Nice snack bar and pub at the top too.
Mumbles is about 35mins away, and we enjoyed the delights of Langlands beach.
Overall, it's a great area to visit, lots to do if you don't mind driving.
The site was ok, but you felt a little out of it on the overflow field. Didn't really venture onto the main field but it looked a little cramped full of caravans and tourers.
Didn't think it was right that both camping areas were priced the same, the overflow should be cheaper because of the hike to the facilities.
Apparently they are unable to build on this land due to planning restrictions.
On the bright side, the overflow has good views across the bay, but little or no shelter, and it gets very, very windy. One of our poles cracked and the tension straps were ripped off, that's how windy!
All round a good site, looks a bit shabby and scruffy on first appearances, but probably just rustic and not as tidy as a CC site.
Facilities clean and well looked after, showers had lots of tiny frogs in them, so be warned. Lots of slugs in the long grass too, wildlife galore!
Only two small mini-markets close-by, anything large is about 25 mins drive away, so come with everything you need in terms of food.
Beaches lovely nearby, not too much for a rainy day though, unless you head back to Swansea way. That's one reason why we perhaps won't be going back again, need inexpensive things to do on wet days with small kids.
Owners friendly, took us to our pitch on arrival. Play area needs updating, quite basic and old. My two liked the stone circle best.
A lovely little site, spotlessly clean facilities and very friendly owners. Spectacular walks and scenery, would recommend the walk to Mewslade beach, great fun for children and well worth the trek back up to the site. Will recommend to friends and return to this site.
We were fortunate enough to visit during a week of glorious weather and the kids were happy running back and fore to the little playground and exploring the rock pools and caves on Mewslade beach. Being locals and living only 15 miles from the site, it reminded us how fortunate we are to live in such a beautiful part of the world!

This was not our first choice but as we had left it a bit late to book we went ahead. On line availability and booking very convenient and efficient.
