We chose this site to camp over the bank holiday weekend after reading the positive reviews on this site. It could be a great site as the location is perfect but was let down by overcrowding and poor policing.
There are several camping fields but only the top two fields have a toilet block, not enough toilets and showers for the huge number of campers and a 5 minute plus walk from the last field (not fun with small children) They did clean the blocks through the day but with so many people using them they didn't stay clean long. Also a nightmare to use with small children, lethal slippy floors as the bruises on my 2 year old will testify and no seats/benches to sit them on once they are out of the shower. Also would benefit from a baby change unit. This is billed as a site great for young children so please give us facilities for them!
There are no marked pitches on this site and no organisation to how people were sited, it's a good job we could walk to the beach as we couldn't get our van off site as we were blocked in by other campers.
Lastly the noise at night went on to the early hours despite the notices handed out to keep quiet after 11pm. There were supposed to be security guards on over the weekend but they didn't seem to crack down on noise around us.
Excellent site for a family we travelled down in a motor home and slept in a tent.
Good clean facilities, within walking distance from the beach, Fish and Chip shop, Shop and also Pub. Very friendly staff throughout our stay.
Only problem we had was the travel from the site up to the main road of Swansea was a half an hour travel (kids were very agitated before we got to go anywhere)
I've been camping on the Gower for years but this was my first time at this site. Why have I not stayed here before??? Fantastic pitch, fantastic views, clean and more than adequate ablutions block. The site is practically on the beach and the pub, restaurant and chip shop (real coffee served) were all within two minutes walk of our pitch. I'm definitely coming again. My only wish was that I'd discovered this site sooner. In a word, Brilliant.
Site was lovely. Toilet and shower block were fantastic - showers were lovely and warm. Dishwashing facilities also looked good however we tended to wash up at the tent. There was even a laundry room - huge washer and dryers.
Access out of the campsite either onto the coastal walk, or down out of the end to the salt house ruin and to the little cove/bay.
In Port Eynon itself there's a couple of pubs, fish and chip shops that seem to open on alternate days so as not to clash, trinket and gift shops, as well as surf type bits and pieces.
The main shop in the village though - that looked like it sold everyday things, was up for sale and decidedly empty when we were there (it's opposite the church).
The campsite shop had basics in though, and was reasonably well stocked, and priced if you're in a pinch.
Other than that, we tended to get things in from Tesco in Swansea as we were out that way.
Easy access to parts of the Gower Way, and to Arthur's Seat, archery and falconry centre is about 5-10 minutes away by car. Lots to do/walk/explore coastal paths etc immediately accessible from campsite - but lots also to do if you can bear to take the car out for a short trip!
The shop even gave out glow sticks to the kids of an evening over the first weekend we were there.
There isn't anything for the kids to do - no playground, but there is the beach VERY close by. Other than that, we saw kids on bikes, kids on scooters, kids with frisbee's, kids with bat and balls. Kids having a good time in general really.
The only reason we came back a day early was the gusts of winds - up to 60+ miles an hour were measured and we weren't that sure our little tent would take a third night of such batterings! There's being brave, and then there's being stupid!
There were about 4 or 5 other tents that didn't leave, but I think they were in a slightly more sheltered position than we were!
However, we will be returning, and hopefully, it'll be a little less windy!
Good site, clean and tidy - fantastically situated.
We came back to this camp site again after visiting last year. What a blast We love the site because it has everything you need within walking distance, no need for the car yippee!. V. good site shop, chippie (not over priced and plentiful) beach so close if you forget something you can just nip back through the adjoining lane. Friendly, helpful staff. The shower blocks are well stocked and clean with hot water. The fields are a bit on a slope but we managed to get on a flatter bit. The site was packed but not overcrowded Never heard a peep out of the kids even the teenagers. Can't wait to go back ASAP. No complaints well done
Just got back from a brilliant weekend here, which was helped immensely by the excellent facilities and location of this campsite.
Firstly the location is fantastic, quite literally a minute's walk from the beach. You can walk up to the hill behind the campsite in a few minutes and enjoy wonderful views over Port Eynon beach and Smugglers' Cove.
As facilities go there are water taps in every field of the four. The toilet / shower block is superb, kept very clean and fully functioning, with toilet paper and excellent hot showers. No broken doors or mirrors here!
The campsite shop is well stocked with all the essentials; camp stoves, gas, utensils, cutlery, barbecues, beans, bread, sausages, bacon, etc etc, and also sells beer, beach toys and camping chairs. Nearby (< 2mins) is the local pub, another restaurant, surf shop, tourist shop, fish and chip shop and cafe, all excellent. Oh, and the ice-cream van comes onto the campsite, for those of you with kids!
Honestly, I couldn't have had a better weekend. Highly recommended.
Just come back from an extended weekend away at this campsite.
What can I say. We loved it. The campsite is only a few feet away from the beach. You can see the sea from your tent!
We camped on field 3 which seems to be one of the most level at the site. We arrived on Sat afternoon and it was busy, but we still found a spot that was fine.
There are taps in each of the fields so you were never too far from water.
The shower/toilet block in field 2 was a new building, and was lovely. Free showers, all clean and new. Loo paper too, and whoever asked for mirrors above the sink. Well they are there now!
Its worth noting that they do allow dogs.
The campsite felt very 'safe' as its quite out of the way. Our friends 5 yr old and our 4 year old felt happy to walk to the block in the next field on their own.
The shop carries all the essentials, and stays open late.
We tried the chip shop on site, and got good service and excellent food.I am sure fish and chips are nicer at the seaside!
If you want a kids play area, and feel that a beach, rockpools, large fields with wild rabbits running free isn't enough for your kids then, you may not like it, otherwise like us, you'll love it, and will go back for more!
The only down side is that we have to travel 150 miles to get there!
Bit late, stayed Bank Holiday all week. Site was quiet on the Monday due to the wind. Toilet block 2nd field very clean and new looking, bit tight in shower and could do with some mirrors over sinks. First 2 fields gentle slope 3 and 4th better. Nice and clean site, two chip shops, two pubs, one shop. Lovely beach and some really breath taking views.
I've stayed with the family at carreg llwyd 9 times over the past year and being a 'proper camper' i submit the following -
It's a brilliant campsite with clean facilities, my 12 yr old daughter loves it (close to the sea!). The staff are freiendly and helpful, rob the 'boss man' (i think) is always happy to help in any way.
It may not be a beach in the same beauty as three cliffs bay - but leaving my tent and having the wonderful lady in the chip shop serve me my coffee perfect and fresh fish makes all the difference.
Carreg llwyd i would reccomend - ok - no play area for kids, but 30 yards away there's a beach ! C'mon ! What do you want ??? There's your play area !
Had fab few days, apart from weather on sat night and sun morn, but site is immaculate. New shower block excellent and kept clean, excellent shop and staff and will be back, NOT ONE COMPLAINT. Well done staff and owners.
When we got there and booked in, a little late, the staff were very helpful and understanding. Then we put up our tent in the wrong place. In front of an electric hook up. Mike the manager told me it would be too much work to move the tent, also he would not accept the offer I made to pay the extra. The toilets were clean and toilet paper had been placed in them all. The problem with the showers is that there are no shelves, and a few locks are broken on the doors, they again were clean and the water was hot. The ground slopes slightly, but not a real problem. The Site is so near the sea you can hear the waves when the sea is calm. The small shop is well stocked and open late. The Village is only a short walk away, with a chip shop, cafe and a pub.An exellent camp site, in an exellent location.
Port Eynon is wonderful, call us boring but while the kids are young I cant see us going to any other campsite. Went 5 times through the pretend summer we had last year and went 2 weeks ago and fingers crossed off again the weekend.
Its a lovely well managed site the management are friendly and helpful, the toilet block and showers are clean and always have tp in them but just in case I always take my own! The shop is well stocked and pretty reasonable, but if you cant get what you want there is a shop in the village.
It is what it is, a beautiful place in our wonderful Gower. Camping is what you make it, you set out to enjoy yourself and you will (even if it rains!) Just try this site dont expect anything posh but nor should you, camping is anything but posh, its good healthy fun for all the family, and this site only a stone through away from the beach is the best!
What a great site, ok it doesn`t have a play area, but is 50m from the beach, the toilet block is fine - hot water, loo rolls & is kept clean - new additional block nearly finished. Great littel shop for those last minute bits & bobs, couldn`t believe it when we got a new frying pan for on £4.
We stayed for one night for a quick weekend break. The site is relatively flat, kept very clean & has everything a camper would want. To be able to park the car next to the tent on day of arrival & not have to move it until we left was bliss, everything was onsite or in the village. We had breakfast cooking Welsh bacon over looking the sea with the sun rising on a beautiful setting - that`s what we camp for.
The staff were all very welcoming & helpful, the children felt at home & the open space was a good enough playground for them, the beach is lovely & sweeping, with so much room it felt no one was there. Food available ranged from good honest pub food in The Ship Inn, to more upmarket & a very high standard in The Smugglers, for a quick snack the there was The Seafarer for chips & rolls.
We only discovered it by chance, we were going to the site up the road, but drove down the road into the village to see the sea first & found this little gem - so good we are back next weekend.
Recommended if you are not too fussy about additional bits, it is clean, tidy & welcoming with great views & easy access to the beach. If you take the cost of the parking in the vilage at £5 a day off the pitch price, then a pitch of only £13 is not bad at all.
This is definitely a tale of two campsites. The first site consists of the first two fields next to the entrance of the site which are dominated by seasonal pitches for touring caravans and service by a nice, relatively clean shower block - one block for approx 100 units but mainly caravans so not too much pressure. The two fields are sloping so pitching can be fun. The second site consists of the next four fields also serviced by one block but dominated by tents crammed in (fire regs????) and we estimated on the busier wkd of the two we were there, this block serviced approx 300-350 units! The cleanliness of this second bock suffered as a consequence big style and we saw relatively little efforts of cleaning by site staff apart from a bloke on a quad bike going in every evening armed with a loo brush! The blocks were also uncared for in terms of broken loo handles / broken shower door locks etc - something that a little T&C by the staff would easily fix So if you are squeamish on cleanliness, don't come to this site. If you can overcome this, the views from the site overlooking the bay itself are fantastic with the coastal path to Rhossili bay (awesome) situated at the far end of the site. No kid's playground (although kids did play on any open area - no problem) and the on site shop was expensive (aren't they always) so we drove to Swansea (approx 40 minutes) twice in the week to stock up at a Sainsburys / Tesco. One bad weather day so we went to the mumbles and had a ride on the train which was great for kids our ages, 6 and 3. Good weather days and we hit the beach either at Port Eynon or Rhossili - Rhossili the quieter and nicer of the two but a killer walk from the NT car park at the top of the cliff. All in all, we would only go back if we could guarantee a spot on the first field and as you cannot reserve pitches, this will be difficult.
