 We've just returned from our second visit to Nicholaston and can't recommend it enough.
The owner and staff are friendly and helpful and available 24 hours. The 2 wash blocks are well maintained and cleaned regularly. There is plenty of room in the on site fridges and freezer which is in the same room as the wash-up facilities. The site cafe and farm shop are handy for basics (and a bacon sarnie!) and reasonably priced. The nearest supermarkets are in Swansea, approx 30-45min drive away depending on traffic. We ate a couple of times in the local Gower Arms pub which was good value and quality but therefore very busy! There is a good fish and chip shop 10 mins away as well.
As it was the school holidays the campsite was full but didn't feel overcrowded with plenty of room around the pitches. Noise levels at night varied but generally it was quiet by 11pm. Some traffic noise from the nearby main road but it didn't really bother us.
This time we camped in the lower of the 2 fields with tent EHU pitches which made a difference when climbing the steep hill back from the stunning beach! The wide beach is shallow sloping sand (ideal for our 7 year old) and very clean with a couple of small cafes/shops at the far end.
On our last day it rained so we headed off to Mumbles (approx 20min drive) and explored the pier, shops and amusement arcades. Unfortunately it was too wet to go crabbing but this is apparently a good spot! Last time we stayed the weather was very wet so we made use of the cinema in Swansea and there is a local heritage centre that hosts events throughout the year. This time the weather was brilliant so we headed to the beach daily and visited nearby award-winning Rossili Bay too. Rossili was busy but so big it didn't feel crowded. Again a fairly steep path to access the beach with shops, cafes & toilets available at the top of the climb.
If there's anything we would change it would be having a toilet available at the beach :)

Very friendly staff, very busy packed site but never bothered by any noise. Shower facilities were excellent, WC, shower and basin in one place, your own little bathroom. Bacon sandwich from cafe was lovely, lovely fresh bread and wonderful bacon. Fantastic beaches, access steep on way back to site.

Lovely site with stunning views looking over the bay. Toilet and showers are well kept and even at height of the season are regularly cleaned. Showers cost 20p for 4 minutes which stops people staying in them for ages and keeps the queues down.
There is a walk down to the beach through the trees and sand dunes which could cause a problem for anyone with walking difficulties but you can drive to a car park at the far end of the bay
Cafe and farm shop provide food supplies and breakfast plus you can pick your own fruit when in season.
An excellent site which we would love to go to again

We found this gem of a campsite in the Guardians top 5 on the Gower. Wonderfully immaculate facilities, use of industrial size fridges and freezers. Great cafe with local produce for sale on site where we camped out for half a day due to rain - well it was Wales. Fantastic beach just down the slope from the campsite, local information available eg bus time tables, places to eat etc. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very welcome and it was not just us. On day two of our stay 4 Chinese students turned up with no camping equipment and the owners went out of their way to find them a tent and sleeping bags for them to use.

Beautiful site. Extremely well set out and the facilities are fantastic. Wash rooms kept clean and tidy, these are individual rooms with toilet basin and shower. Yes showers are 20p for 4 minutes but this is a good idea as it makes people get a move on 😊 Big fridges and freezers for you to use. Brilliant washing up room and even a laundry room.
This campsite is well worth a visit. Can honestly say only downside was that there are few shops local so you need to plan well if camping. Onsite cafe is very good.
Very friendly staff- battery died on our car and they helped immediately sending someone out with a charger.
Walk straight out onto Gower coastal path for fab views or down steps to beach. Steep walk back up though.
Great site which is often fully booked. So do what we did book very early 👍

Lovely site. Good facilities and really friendly atmosphere. There's plenty of choice in the camping fields (if you don't need electrical hookup). And the on site cafe is a real bonus for the odd meal - although not cheap for a family of five like us.
But it's the location that makes it so special. The short walk down to the beach is really nice, and the beach is superb - one of the best in the UK for sure.
It was our first time camping on the Gower but we'll definitely be back. There's lots to do and see but without the crowds. The beaches are of almost unbelievable quality.

Excellent campsite with excellent facilities. The toilet and shower block has to be one of the best I've seen and this can make a lot of difference to a holiday. The added bonus of a laundry area and fridge and freezers was a welcome bonus. The site is well positioned in the Gower and with the right pitch you have a very impressive view of Oxwich bay. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the site is secure with a key operated entry barrier into the main field. It also has a small café and shop which was also very good. Our friends with a caravan did say the entry and exit into the site can be a little tricky but this can be overcome with a friend guiding you out. The only issue we had was the ground was a little stony to put tent pegs in but this was easy to deal with.

This is a lovely lovely site. We were greeted by a cheery lady on Reception, who was very helpful. We were in the field for carravanners and tenters. There are about 25 pitches & you all have plenty of room around you, with a big green in the middle.
The washrooms and showers are immaculate. They have individual rooms, with a shower (20p for 4 minutes), toilet & basin.
You can walk to Oxwich beach from the site via a private gate.
Shops wise, we struggled a bit. There is a texaco garage about a two minute drive away, which will have everything you need, but we prefer local produce.
There are also drying rooms for wetsuits etc, huge freezers & a good modern washing up area (inside).
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this site to anyone. We will be going back in June for the PYO season.
Only negative is the £27pn, even in Sept. Just a tad expensive.

This is a lovely site on the equally lovely Gower Peninsula. The facilities are excellent; plentiful, very clean and smart, without the utilitarian style sometimes seen in Caravan Club sites. The showers require 20p for each 4 minutes, so make sure you collect some 20p coins before you arrive. There are fridges and freezers available, and even drying cabinets for wetsuits/fleeces. There is a nice on-site cafe, and essential provisions such as milk and freshly baked bread are available. Directly from the site it is a 10-15 minute walk down to the spectacular beach of Oxwich Bay through a nature reserve and sand dunes. There are three fields; two for camping, and one for a mix of caravans, motorhomes, camper vans, and large tents. Most of the caravan pitches are grassy hardstandings (rock pegs required), with outstanding views over the bay. The staff are approachable and helpful. The only downside I can report is the short, steep incline on leaving the site, which is a bit of a heave if towing a caravan unless you have a big 4-wheel drive vehicle.

My girlfriend and I just spent 5 fantastic nights at this campsite. We consider ourselves season campers and this is probably the best site we have stayed at. The toilets and showers were always clean, they are very modern. They are coined operated and 20p gives you 4 minutes of hot water, which is surprisingly long enough to shower and wash your hair. The site is very well maintained. The pot wash has two large fridges and a large chest freezer where patrons can store food, milk etc and re-freeze ice packs etc free of charge. I thought this was a great idea. They also supply black bags free of charge. We stayed on the lower field with hook up and there is plenty of room if you have a large tent. The location is stunning with direct access to Oxchwich bay, it is very steep which disabled, the older generation and young children may struggle with however a 5 minute drive takes you to Oxchwich Slade where you can park practically on the beach with access to toilet's, beach bistro and cafe and water sports such as kayak hire, surfing etc. The Gower Peninsula is amazing and the views and beaches are breath taking. If you want a chilled out and quiet site with great facilities and a relaxed atmosphere then this is the place too be.

After having spent a couple of nights at this site last year, my son and I spent a week revisiting it, mainly due to the local archery / falconry centre.
The site is well run, well organised, and has excellent facilities. There's a bit of a slope to contend with, but nothing too outrageous. The toilet blocks are modern (more on those later), and the shop is well stocked and reasonably priced.
Oxwich Bay is about 20 minutes walk down the hill, and is a superb, safe, clean beach. When the tide is out there are some good rock pools to explore, and you can walk around to Three Cliffs Bay.
Worms Head is about 15-20 minutes drive away, and Swansea about the same.
My only criticisms of the site would be that the shower rooms really do need a mop supplied. The floors get very muddy, and so I spent a good 10 minutes each day wiping the floor down with toilet paper to make sure we had a clean floor to step out onto. The shower is 20p for 3 1/2 minutes, which is doable, just don't expect to spend too long washing yourself down.
A further criticism would be that in this modern age, wifi would be a nice touch. The mobile phone reception is patchy, and at times non-existent. A wifi connection would be a welcome addition, especially considering the pitch price (which charges extra for pretty much everything).
Overall though, a lovely site, in a lovely location.

Lovely site and location with great views over Oxwich Bay. The facilities were a high standard and kept nice and clean. We would definitely return.
The shop on site has some basic essentials as well as home grown fruit and veg when in season and enough ice cream and treats to keep the kids happy.
The beach isn't far away although it is a steep climb but it's a cracking beach. We even picked up
Fresh cockles and clams at low tide and cooked them for tea. Brilliant!
Highly recommended.

Booked this site for a short family break over the weekend. All I can say is what a site. Arrived late on the Friday evening was greeted by a lovely woman in reception who said we could pitch on any of the pitches in the bottom camping field as we booked electrical hookup which I thought was awesome, it aint often you can do this and the site was busy. The site entrance is controlled by a key card barrier this gives you a little peace of mind. The pitches were sloping gently but the hookup pitches are pretty level as they are cut into the slope. Being in the bottom camping field there is a short walk to the toilets didn't really bother us as the weather was fantastic the toilets are very clean and up to date showers brilliant and on a token meter.
There is a shop and cafe which is fantastic sells local picked fresh veg and fruit from the farm which again went down well with us, the breakfasts are brill by the way. Also freshly made smoothies.
The site has direct access to the beach at oxwich bay which is simply stunning, the beach was not at all busy not too bad a walk down but a proper walk up but in my opinion was well worth the walk. The site is a fantastic well kept and clean and was nice to book onto a site which everywhere you look campers were having fun outside in the evenings as we have booked onto some who don't allow this in my opinion that's what camping is surely about.
I have only 2 minor gripes and they are minor or its me just being picky (1) the ground we found was very hard for knocking pegs in so bring proper ones as I bent over 20 and (2) the showers are 20p I thought that could be included in the booking price I think I know why they have token meters, in the toilet block we used there were only two showers to supply a few fields I heard there were more around the corner in the other toilet block but the time is 3 mins per shower for me with no hair not a problem but my wife not enough time. Think they could put more showers in, but again I think its me just being picky.
Will be returning again though as this really is one of the best sites we have been on with owners that make you welcome big thumbs up nicholaston farm cant wait to return.

I have been coming to this site for many years and it never lets me down. Friendly service, peaceful site with excellent views from the caravan field.
Excellent ultra clean toilet and shower blocks. Very clean and useful utility area and laundry, with drying facilities. + shop selling basics and a cafe.
The walk down through the woods and dunes to the excellent Oxwich bay makes it the perfect site to leave the car behind. Might be difficult with very young children though especially coming back up! You can't use a pushchair as the sand through the dunes is too soft.

This is a top secret review, you can only read this review if you are not going to this campsite because we want to visit again but it is always very busy. We now know why - with the spectacular view over Oxwich bay and surrounding coastline. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the café carried a 5 star hygiene rating. The shop has to be one of the best stocked shops for fresh fruit and veg. The toilets were immaculate and thank you to the staff that kept them that way. We were lucky to have had very hot weather and will return.
