  • Small, family-run farm site in south Wales’s scenic Neath Valley
  • Aberavon Beach 25 minutes’ drive; Gower Peninsula 40 minutes
  • Toilets and showers; campfires; covered communal barbecue area
Surrounded by the mountains and woodlands of the scenic Neath Valley of south Wales, Wenallt Wild Camp is a peaceful spot on a family-run farm on the outskirts of the village of Tonna, a 10-minute drive from the market town of Neath. There’s a lot to like about this site, starting with its handy location – within walking distance (or a five-minute drive) of convenience stores, a golf range, a rugby club and a dog-friendly café on the river Neath. Gnoll Country Park (five minutes’ drive or 20 minutes on foot) has woodland walks, duck ponds and adventure playgrounds, plus a nine-hole pitch-and-putt golf course. There’s also a lot to like about how easy it is to get out to the coast. The sandy beaches of Aberavon and Port Talbot are about 25 minutes away, while the Gower Peninsula National Landscape (40 minutes) has dramatic coastal paths, sheltered coves and historic sites such as the ruins of medieval Weobley Castle. There’s also lots to see (including waterfalls) along the area’s inland waterways. Wenallt Wild Camp has facilities including toilets and showers (all of which are maintained to a high standard) and a covered communal barbecue area with a dart board, dining table and firepit. You also have permission to build campfires (in the designated areas) and dogs (on leads) are welcome on site. At the bottom of the lane, half an hour's walk away, is a local launderette with washing machines and dryers. Need to stock up on supplies? Try the local farm shop (five minutes) and sample some fresh Glamorgan produce.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch (pet friendly)

Liked First camping trip as a family in our camper van and this place was great! Location was fab, even more convenient for us as it’s only 45 minutes from home so perfect for a quick weekend away.
The staff were so lovely, its family run and they were super helpful. They gave us so much guidance and activities, surrounding areas to explore and kept us fully stocked with fresh water.
The camping field was well maintained and clean and Adele did a superb job of keeping the toilets fully stocked and recycling sorted, making sure everyone was having the best time! I even kind of enjoyed the sawdust toilets. It was nice to have the overall experience of a wild camp but the security of knowing the staff were only a call away if you had any uses.
We had a great time and will definitely be returning, especially for another walk up to the lucky grand oak tree 🥰

Shepherd's hut (bunk beds, no electricity, wood-burning stove)

Liked Host were very welcoming anything we needed they provided. The shepherds hut we stayed in was very spacious and cosy and even had added extras like books for us to read. The area is beautiful and well kept .

Disliked Not a huge dislike but maybe a suggestion of possibly adding something for the kids to do maybe like a swing set or a little playground.

Shepherd's hut (bunk beds, no electricity, wood-burning stove)

Liked The shepherds hut was very cosy. Too hot to use the wood burner but we did have a fire outside. A great outdoor kitchen space, very well equipped, everything you need to barbecue or cook on the double hob. Compost loos and a hot shower! Exceeded my expectations. Beautiful space, fantastic views, a babbling stream, peace and quiet. Really loved our stay, we will be back…

Stretching on the banks of the River Loughor, the WWT Llanelli Wetland Centre (half an hour) shelters kingfishers, egrets and several species of birds of prey, plus a lively flock of pink flamingos. There are also interesting walks with knowledgeable wardens, plus adventure playgrounds and routes specifically designed for children.

Check out the Arboretum, with plants and shrubs from all across the globe, including Tasmania and Chile; learn about pollinator-friendly plants at the buzzing Bee Garden; or go looking for the tiny residents of the Fairy Wood.
