We really liked this site, although the price we paid seemed expensive compared to other sites, it isn't really when you consider that it's possible to walk to the Millennium Stadium and the City centre in around 20 mins. We stayed to attend an event in Caerphilly which had bumped up local hotel prices so we thought that this was a good compromise and we were not disappointed.
The staff were really friendly and helpful and we found the pitch ideal for the weekend. We had an EHU which was easily accessible and found the toilet, shower and dishwashing facilities really good. The site was almost full and there was plenty of hot water with no need to queue at all. Yes blocks could do with some updating but that really is just aesthetics. We found it a little strange to have to use a code to get into the facilities but given just how close it is to the park it makes sense to restrict the facilities just for customers of the site.
The weather was great when we stayed so I have no idea about the conditions during prolonged wet weather. In terms of pitch sizes, they are possibly smaller than in some sites I've stayed at but I have stayed at sites near Paris and in Cornwall that are similar in size or if not smaller. Given that it's a City site I expected a smaller pitch. We camped with and 8 man tent and didn't find the pitch too small.
All in all we found this a great site to stay near the city for the weekend and will definitely be back.

Very good site with excellent, helpful staff. The central toilet block could with a total refit as not everyone can be on a serviced pitch and use their onboard caravan facilities.
Have visited twice and had good weather both times so cannot comment on the adverse conditions experienced by some.
Would most definitely use the site again

I have always wanted to stay at this site and so on our way back from an extended trip we did.
The plus side, it was in a lovely location. Liked the way the vans were sited in culdesacs. BUT
Like many others I was exceedingly disappointed with cleanliness, poor attitude to pitch care, and yes definitely lack of investment.
I felt ashamed for Wales for the impression we must be making on the many foreign visiting motor homes and caravans to our wonderful capital. It was not a cheap site either!

What an excellent site this is, in a perfect central location with only a 5 minute walk into Cardiff centre.
Next to the beautiful Bute Park and with a lovely pub in walking distance you really don't need anything more.
The staff we spoke to were extremely helpful and friendly, the facilities were immaculate and the pitches and site were all very well maintained.
Can't fault it at all !

Visit number six and basically nothing much to add since our last visit Nov. 2017 (see below).
It's a shame the owners (Cardiff City Council) don't read these reviews, as then they might respond by improving the decidedly shabby shower blocks.
There was a smell of fresh paint when we arrived, but come on folks, for a forward looking capital city, it's getting a bit pathetic given this should be a showpiece site.

I have visited this site many times, last time was 4 years ago, can't say it's changed in any way, shower/ toilet units desperately need modernising. Although everythings adequate, it just needs some work put into it to cheer it up
The site where I stayed near exit barrier was extremely wet, not the sites fault we'd had awful rain for 48 hrs, but if ground work had good drainage, it wouldn't be so muddy, so be aware, plenty of old mats needed, to keep vans reasonably clean!
All due respect the location is just perfect for the City centre or for beautiful park walks. Taxi rates very reasonable if the walk approx 30 mins is too far or too wet to walk in.
Sites fees reasonable after all it's in Cardiff, if your pitch is free on leaving day, it's an extra £10 to stay on until 5. 30.

Be warned if you use this site you do purely for it's location, everything else is below acceptable. General care and health and safety is sadly lacking. Bins were overflowing with waste, road and hard standing areas littered with minor debris.
The two toilet blocks (two WCs and two showers in each) are totally inadequate with historical damage roughly repaired. We used our own facilities as much as possible. The washing up area is like a prison cell and the chemical waste disposal was a rusted steel door with a disposal point inside!
Having said all of that we enjoyed the location and access to the city. It was also quiet at night and we felt safe.
The site was full and is likely to remain so throughout the summer so the owners must be rubbing their hands. How the city council allow such poor standards beats me. One camper has been coming for five years and reckons that no money has been spent on the facilities.

Just spent 5 nights here (for our fifth ever visit) and as usual received a very warm welcome.
Sited on pitch 9 which was all gravel with paving to one side (although our continental van habitation door was on opposite side!).
We fully expected the site to be muddy as usual but they have done a lot of work clearing the pitches, and all the grasscrete ones appeared clean and tidy.
The shower blocks are a bit dated but adequate and were sufficient for the half-full site.
The main benefit of course is the location, so close to the city centre and all amenities.
We had a good Sunday lunch in the Cricketers and wonderful evening meal in Elegano Italian restaurant.
All in all we were happy with the improvements since our last visit and will definitely return.

We have just spent 3 nights at this site and I really don't think we will be back. Location wise it is a great site but it's very expensive and very crowded. Pitches are very small. The road through the site was very tight with vehicles parked along the side.
Security was lacking. We were on pitch no 1 and felt that anyone walking past could enter the site, in fact people who weren't staying on the site were known to walk or cycle right through. The 2 toilet and shower blocks were adequate and clean with plenty of hot water.
There was a cafe on site and bikes could also be hired. Staff were friendly enough. There was no children's play area but there is a great park right at the side of the site.
It's just a shame that too many vans / tents are squashed in. Less pitches and more security would make this a much better site

Only stayed for one night but would never stay again. Pitches were too close together, they were waterlogged.
I think they take too many people on, and so the place gets overcrowded.
No place to park your car. Felt unsafe - men drinking cans of cider at 0700 were wandering around the place. No sense of security at all. As it is in a city centre I think they should have 24 hour security
