  • Well-maintained family-friendly site five mins' drive from Porthcawl
  • Rest Bay beach five minutes' drive; 10 minutes to Margam Country Park
  • Play area and plenty of space for games; bus stop just outside
Fancy pitching up near Porthcawl? A fine collection of beaches makes this popular seaside town a great choice for a break on the Glamorgan coast – and Dan-y-Graig Holiday Park, a few minutes’ drive from the town centre, is an equally excellent pick. This well-established family-run park doesn’t have tons of bright lights and noisy entertainments on site – instead the owners have chosen to focus on getting the essentials just right. That means you’ll have access to a launderette, a washing-up room and a chemical toilet waste disposal point as well as modern bathrooms with accessible facilities for disabled guests. That’s not to say that there's nothing for kids to do here – there’s a play area in the touring field (handy for keeping an eye on them while you get on with your life…) and plenty of grassy areas for games. Through the busier periods there are often activities to join in with, too – things like an Easter egg hunt and a summer sports day are popular. You’ll be well located for getting out and about here too – either heading to one of the nearby beaches, exploring the local countryside or hitting the outlet shops to pick up some bargains. It’s all within a short drive, and there's also a bus stop just outside for those travelling on public transport. All round, this is a pretty laidback place to spend some time; groups, dogs, families and solo travellers are all equally welcome at this friendly site. Perhaps the best testimony of all is the fact that many guests return year after year, sometimes forming lasting friendships along the way.

What customers say

This is a friendly, well-maintained campsite with spacious pitches and a popular play area for children. Staff, particularly Sarah, are frequently praised for their welcoming and helpful nature. Facilities are generally reported as clean, though some reviews suggest they are dated or in need of updating. Location is a positive for many, with easy access to beaches and local attractions. Occasional feedback mentions close pitches and noise, especially during peak times.

Electric grass pitch

Liked As a group we have nothing to complain about. Sarah was so accommodating, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We chose this site as a first time camping group for the end of our outdoor education program. TYfu is a day service that offers vocational and social skill development to adult individuals who are neurodivergent and we could not have wished for a better experience, we look forward to seeing you all at the site next year for 2 nights this time. Highly recommended.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you found our staff lovely, our toilets and showers clean, and enjoyed the playground, location and facilities.

We are, however, very disappointed to read that your stay was affected by other guests allegedly smoking cannabis. Had we been made aware, we would have investigated the matter immediately and taken appropriate action.

As a small, family-run holiday park, we are on site and available to deal with issues as they arise, but unfortunately we cannot resolve a problem that has not been brought to our attention.

It is therefore particularly disappointing to receive an overall score of 7/10, together with a decision not to recommend or return to the park, when the only negative comment relates to the alleged behaviour of other guests.

We would always encourage guests to speak to us at the time if another guest’s behaviour is affecting their stay. We take such concerns seriously and would much rather have the opportunity to resolve them there and then.

Overall pretty good

 Kiri F. 1 review

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked We had an amazing stay for our first time camping with kids and dogs, from a lovely warm welcome in to the camp, the kids were out of the car and straight into the park in the middle of the campground and a stone’s throw from the tent. Clean onsite facilities, quiet and even the ice cream man comes round also just a 5 minute walk to a Morrisons daily.
Margam Park was just 10mins away and a must to visit, car park entry and lots of free activities for kids, as for the beaches all within a very short drive but if you’re up for the walk through the sand dunes at Kenfig Nature Reserve, Sker Beach was beautiful, dog friendly and only a handful of people on it. Thank you for a wonderful first time camping experience.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Absolutely beautiful pitch! Warm welcome from Sarah as we arrived, although it was windy and our first time camping a friendly neighbour helped us pitch the tent! They were actually staying an extra 3 days from what they booked as they loved it so much! Park was perfect for our girls, made friends on the first day. Facilities were clean and just what you need, showers warm and clean! Thank you so much, we are planning our time to come back soon! Ice cream van came around twice while we were there too! 7 minute drive to Porthcawl beach and Aldi where we topped up our essentials! Younger crowd at the top of the field while we were there but everyone respected the 11pm curfew for noise!

Disliked Wasps were a pain but to be expected, noted for next time we go.

Local attractions

To the seaside first, perhaps? Porthcawl has a good range of beaches to choose from, whether you’d like to hit the waves at Rest Bay for surfing and paddleboarding, build sandcastles at Sandy Bay beach or Newton beach, or launch windsurfers from Trecco Bay. All are just a few minutes’ drive or bike ride away. Elsewhere along the nearby coast, you can scramble through the huge dunes at Merthyr Mawr (10 minutes’ drive), ride horses along the sands at Ogmore-by-Sea (20 minutes) or look out for fossils on the rocky beach at Llantwit Major (half an hour). And of course one can’t forget Porthcawl’s famed Elvis Festival, paying tribute to ‘the king’ every September. Heading inland instead, Margam Country Park (10 minutes) has extensive grounds to stroll through, as well as a small farm area with animals to pet or feed, including alpacas. There's plenty of space to ride your two wheels at Margam, all while being careful not to disrupt the wild deer roaming the park, of course. The country park also packs in an adventure playground and a Go Ape centre for more adventurous folks. Nearby, there are discount shops, a cinema and several restaurants at Designer Outlet Bridgend (10 minutes).
