  • 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.

What customers say

This is a beautiful, peaceful "wild camping" site with stunning views, praised for its friendly and accommodating owners. Guests enjoyed the natural surroundings, walks, and basic but clean facilities including compost toilets and hot showers. While most found it excellent value and would return, a few noted the road access can be steep and narrow, and campervan pitches can be cramped or sloped. Some felt facilities were basic for the price.

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

Liked Remote on a hill

Disliked Showers didn't work!!

Didn't manage the pitches well, allowing a family to camp right next to me who were really noisy and also commandeered the shelter so no one else could use it in the rain!

Could hear the road from the campsite

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

Liked Excellent communication. We feeled very welcome. Great landscape. Basic facilities provided.

Disliked Some loud campers. But of course it didn't depend on owners.
Car can't be parked next to the pitch.

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

Liked Lovely views and no road noise around. Would be lovely for tents although you do have to carry everything from the car.

Disliked 6 Camper van pitches (3 flat and 3 on a big slope) our van was on a 10degree angle so needed ramps with bricks underneath to get it almost level.
There was a large group staying onsite (around 20) and were loud until late (not ideal with a 2 year old trying to sleep).
There were dogs off leads everywhere even with “dogs must be kept on leads” signs all around the camp.
5/6 fires going despite the open fire bans in Wales with the drought and wildfires across the country.
Around 10:30pm a car parked on our pitch about 2m away from our van and was left there until we left (not owners fault of course) due to the limited parking around the side of the field.
Definitely not good value for money.

Was a great stay and so close to our walk and the beach

Liked Really well run site. The owners are seen cleaning the toilets and facilities regularly and even came round offering wood for the stoves (provided). Amazing views and lovely woodland walks, you MUST visit the old oak tree on the hill.

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. From springtime daffodils to autumn conkers, there’s lots to see every season at the National Botanic Garden of Wales (35 minutes). 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.
