 We stayed here for 3 nights, it's a lovely place.
The owners came round every night to make sure music was turned down by 11.
Great trampoline and games room, the owners did ask the children if there was anything else that they thought would be good to have in the games room.
We had small camp fires and they didn't mind although we were careful to keep them off the grass with some bricks that were at the side of the road.
The cobbled beach wasn't far from the site and the town was lovely.
Toilets and showers were clean and tidy and we never had any problems with hot water although you have to keep pushing the button to keep turning it on.
Its one of the best sites we have been to and would recomend it to anyone with children.
The pitches were very genourous not many tents though mainly caravans. Keep up the good work.

Recently stayed here for 3 nights, and what a lovely site with excellent facilities. Showers and toilets cleaned daily. Nice little play area for the kiddies, shame it's next to the road into the site. The town which is less than a mile away has everything you could ask for such a small place. There is also a a beach within 2 miles of the site, although it's a pebble beach there is a nice little cafe/gift shop, it is also a nice walk from the site down to the beach. Would happily visit again !

This site is a hidden gem! We learned from the young lady at reception that, like we are about to, they had just moved from London and taken over the site from the previous owners.
The pitch was quite large and gave us plenty of room to position the tent. As there was only one other tent in the field we did have a wide choice!
The amenities block was very clean but there was a lack of hot water to the sinks. As it appeared that there were only a handful of ladies on the site (the construction workers for the nearby building site were staying in their caravans!) it was suggested that we use the disabled shower room. This was great but the shower didn't get very hot although the pressure nearly took a layer of skin off! It might help too to have a curtain to stop the water from spraying everywhere.
As we only stayed one night we couldn't comment on the other facilities, but we would definitely like to come back when we have the time!

We (Derek & Sandra Bradley) would like to thank all of our guests over the past 16 years, and we now look forward to our well earned retirement. We would also like to wish the new owners every success for the future.

We stayed at the campsite in August of 2006 it was very busy as it was the school holidays and the owners were very friendly and helpful. The campsite is very clean and the shower block is outstanding, well worth the £10 deposit. The children enjoyed the park, it is next to the road but all the traffic goes really slow as you have a big speed bump to get over just before the park. There was a trampoline which the children used the most.
Home cooked food to order was welcomed very much plenty of choice in the shop. The walk along the clifftop to the beach was lovely and Barry was just down the road for the fairground. The town of Llantwitt has a few pubs that do lovely meals if you fancy a night out. We had a lovely pitch for the tent and the people around us were very friendly. We will be booking for 2007 as all of us really enjoyed it there it was one of the best campsites we had been too.

Firstly, do not be fooled by the lead up to the campsite. You come via a built up housing area, then a fixed mobile home park then a farmyard driveway but there is a hidden treasure at the end! On arrival, you are greeted with a warm welcome and if you are lucky a stroke of the beautiful dog (very big and cuddly!).
We were lucky enough to get one of the hedged pitches which was in fairness a very good size. The pitches opposite all seemed to be of a good size, especially as they were housing some very large tents.
There was a small children's play park which was very well used by all ages, but could get a tad noisy during late evening if you are in one of the first few pitches of tents.
Facilities are fantastic, purpose built toilet/shower block which was immaculate. Well stocked shop, home cooked fresh food and even a paper service for your morning papers! £10 key deposit a good idea as well.
Cardiff is a short drive away as is Barry Island. The rocky beach at Llantwit Major is a nice getaway and can be walked via a path from the site.
Would definitely recommend this site to anyone and will be returning soon ourselves.
Cardiff airport is fairly close but not busy by any means and in two days we saw 4 planes come over. Even closer is the Air Force base which sends out Hawk jets, again, while they are a great sight, we only saw 3 in the two days we were there.

Lovely site and plenty of room on our pitch. The surroundings were great, grass cut regularly and flowers tended to. Park could do with an overhaul as it has seen better days, but the trampoline was great. Toilet and shower facilities were clean although there tended to be a queue for showers at 7.30am! (4 showers in the ladies). Plenty of washbasins and toilets though.
Even though the facilities were great, we probably wouldn't visit this site again as it was so expensive with 2 children. We were charged £3.75 per night for our tiny baby and the only facilities available for her was a baby changing unit!- so the 2 children cost us an extra £7.50 per night - if you dont want to pay this this try Llandow as all under 5s are FREE! (as are most campsites).

Absolutely great site! Well done Acorn Camping. The facilities on this site are second to none (should definitely be a blueprint for all campsites to follow) I cannot fault them or the kind helpful reception you receive on arrival. The £10.00 refundable deposit for your own key is quite sensible really, so don't be put off! After all it opens the door to some fabulous amenities which need to be looked after and one should take note that it's so much cheaper here than at many other sites with far less to offer.
The pitches all seemed a reasonable size to me, space seems to be a big whinge factor these days, I say get a smaller tent if your that worried (a lot of the group parties wanted to be close together when I was there anyway). A serious observation is that there is very poor drainage in the hedged areas so it becomes an instant quagmire, take some wellies! and watch your car doesn't get bogged in. This can happen anywhere though so don't worry too much.
PARENTS PLEASE NOTE, though the play area is simple - the kids seem to love it all the same (the trampoline is a sure winner) and they are the best judges me thinks, certainly not the adults! It is by the road but I observe that all the drivers are very careful here and the speed limit is 5mph regardless. I would like to see a better fence between the two areas though, wouldn't hurt for safety I feel.
The local area never did anything for my interest values you may be of a different opinion. I am too hard to please by far.
The traffic towards Cardiff is frequently horrendous, my advice - go the other way! You have been warned! Please use the cafe at Llantwit (rock!) beach (nice area though) they are super friendly and the hot chocolate is just great! Enjoy your camping.

After their very busy week end coping with demands imposed by an international rugby match in Cardiff on Saturday and a major soccer match on Sunday the staff still greeted us with a smile and a welcome when we arrived about 6.30 p.m. A disturbance about midnight ended with those responsible being evicted from the site by 01.00.
It was a nuisance but it was good to see firm action being taken quite promptly. Toilet facilities seemed to have been available throughout the night and seemed well cared for.
This was our second trip to the site and we would have no hesitation in making a return visit there.

I stayed here for the weekend but was horrified when I was charged an additional £7.50 for a 6 month old baby. When I queried this, I was told that additional persons are charged from age zero, even though this is not advertised in the price list. The site was well kept and the toilets and showers were very clean, although the baby change room did not have facilities to wash a young baby, as it only contained a shower.

Stayed for 2 nights over the bank holiday weekend. Pitch was a reasonable size but not huge. Although I noticed some larger pitches with hedges around which looked much bigger. If you are thinking of going ask for one of these. When I booked I did not get a choice.
The children's play area was pretty poor (apart from a good trampoline) and it was situated right at the entrance to the site with cars passing which was a bit dangerous.
The shop was well stocked and the owner's friendly. They also cooked food to order.
The toilet block was clean and warm although there was a £10 key deposit to use this and it was locked between 11pm-7am. Good recycling facilities.
A pleasant 1 mile walk to the nearby beach at Llantwit Major was great. Unfortunately there were some large groups staying on site when we were there and therefore quite a lot of noise (even though quiet time was supposed to be at 11pm). All in all a pleasant site for a short stay, say 3-4 nights.

A lovely site here with a lovely walk along the cliffs overlooking the sea. Its a very friendly site with a modern clean amenity block. Enough to keep the children occupied and a 15 minute walk to a pub. Well kept site which I will certainly be revisiting.

Only spent 2 nights at this lovely little site, but we really enjoyed it. Nice facilities that are well maintained. Nice games room & outdoor play area for the kids. A well stocked little shop which seems to stock just about everything. We would love to have stayed longer but they were fully booked for the rest of the month. but we will be back.

We only stayed one night, but we found Acorn to be an excellent site. The owners were very friendly, as was their beautiful dog. The showers and washrooms were very clean and the children's play area was well kept and very safe. The site is well laid out and was very quiet while we were there. We will certainly return.

Great site for walks along the Glamorgan Coastal Path. Derek, Sandra & family very friendly and helpful (as too is Timber!). Site kept in good balance of having full facilities but not over-commercialised. Site within reasonable walking time (approx 15 mins) of both Llantwit town and the beach. Looking forward to having more spare time to visit in the near future.
