Open grassy space for non-electric pitches

New

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.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely site, with lovely seasonal members, we stayed at the bottom of the field it was nice and flat, dishwashing facilities on site, and clean toilets, the owner was very pleasant, and there was a nice park for the kids, fire pits also allowed as long as there off the floor, Saturday a butcher van came round, and the ice cream van also comes on site nightly, not to far a drive to surrounding beaches also,

Disliked: The showers need to be looked at, as there's no where to actually put your stuff, and they also flood around your feet other than that it was lovely also there is no WiFi at the bottom but I used my own hotspot others may need to get some beforehand

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Good location for visiting Porthcawl, Llantrisant, Bridgend and Margam Park.
Flat pitches.
Nice park.
Ice cream van visits.
Morrisons daily garage within walking distance.

Disliked: We took the caravan around the static site area by mistake - a sign to touring feed would be a good idea!

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Elderly gentleman who met us at reception and then showed us to our pitch. He then agreed we could move to a more peaceful pitch albeit we were left without electricity.

Disliked: Poor showering facilities on site, one showering block was closed and in a very sorry state, which left limited showering facilities which are also in need of updating (eg shower shelves hanging off screws / shower flow more like a hose pipe than a ‘shower’). There are also clearly large groups with many other vehicles parked up around, in party mode which, each to their own is fine, but I wouldn’t describe the noise and shouting as being great for a young family. We moved from an electric pitch (which was located right in the middle of the site) to a non-electric pitch which was in a much more peaceful location and in a field away from the main site.

Michael C. Apr 2025

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Large pitches

Disliked: Disorganised. Long way from toilets and facilities. Although toilets was clean, four toilets and showers for whole site is too small if site was busy. Site managers should show campers to pitches as another caravaner pitched within 2 meters and despite complaining nothing done. I moved away in the end for our safety. Disappointed and wouldn’t stay again or recommend. Cheap but not cheerful. Also, although advertised as Wi-Fi, none offered.

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).
