  • Spectacular setting for the Gower Peninsula, overlooking Oxwich Bay
  • Refurbished eco-friendly shower block with underfloor heating
  • Large adventure playground
You will, of course, have heard of the great Gower Peninsula. This spectacular south Wales spot of cliffs, coves, caves and bays is so handsome it was designated the first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the UK way back in 1956, made up of 70 square miles from Loughor Estuary to Swansea Bay; if you've never been, this really must be on your holiday list. The folk at award-winning Greenways of Gower Premier Leisure Park reckon their location is 'second to none' for Gower camping – and once you arrive there, you'll reckon they're right. Right in the centre of the peninsula, Greenways overlooks stunning Oxwich Bay and its two and a half miles of golden sands, once named as the best beach in Britain; Rhossili Bay, several times voted the best beach in Wales, is under 20 minutes' drive from here. Greenways is a family-run and family-orientated park, with grass pitches and plenty of space. Gratified previous guests have lauded the amenities as 'exceptional': they include an eco-friendly and modern shower block with underfloor heating running off an air source heat pump, plus disabled facilities and a parent and baby washroom. For leisurely pursuits, a big adventure playground is next to the camping area. There's also a pizza truck and a pop-up bar on site (these two are available on weekends in the summer or on bank holidays). Shops and restaurants are within walking distance.

What customers say

Greenways of Gower offers stunning views and a fantastic location within walking distance of Oxwich beach. Visitors consistently praise the clean, well-maintained facilities, including plentiful hot showers. The on-site pizza bus and bar are popular additions. While many enjoy the spacious, unallocated pitches, some found it busy and noisy during peak times, with occasional issues regarding pitch proximity and facility cleanliness. The site is well-regarded for its family-friendly atmosphere and helpful staff.

Jennifer W.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (two person)

Liked There were large open grassed areas to pitch, we could pitch where we liked! The shower block was central so not too far to walk from any pitch. The toilets were clean, the showers were push button ones . There were plenty of sinks and mirrors. The laundry room was clean with plenty of deep washing up sinks. Two large fridge freezers were provided for ice packs, some people were putting in their frozen food too. There were two outdoor showers to help wash down sandy toys or shoes or dinghies or maybe even dogs! There was a play area for children; it was strange though that this was right next to the field designated as a " quiet pitch " area , I assume the quiet field was for people who really need to be away from the general bustle of camping life so why the play area was here I'm not sure.
The Friday and Saturday " pizza bus" was a novelty on the site, alongside the wooden- hut bar which also opened on just Friday and Saturday evenings. A little bit pricey but to be expected these days.

Disliked The shower heads sprayed water to the far end of the shower cubicle so anything you left on the floor got soaking wet. Pools of water from the showers gathered at the far end of the showerblock where you'd be standing to use the hair dryers.

Jan D.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked It was best campsite we have stayed in and we have tried many so family orientated, clean, the security is friendly not “gestapo” like some sites. Great bus selling pizzas hotdogs etc and a bar in an adjoining field which was good! SHOULD SELL CHIPS

Disliked Although it was a nice 10/15 min walk to beach coming back uphill not so nice but worth it for a day at Oxwich Bay

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Jan,

Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback! We're thrilled to hear Greenways is the best campsite you've stayed at!

It’s great to know you enjoyed the friendly, family-orientated atmosphere, the cleanliness, and the laid-back yet reassuring presence of our security team — we’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to them! We're also glad you made the most of the pizza bus and bar — and we love your suggestion about selling chips. Indeed, back in the day there was a chippy on site! and it may be something worth considering reinstating!

Thanks again for your honest and enthusiastic review. We're really pleased to hear that you’ll be back — we look forward to seeing you again for another great stay (and who knows… maybe with chips next time! :)

Kind Regards
The Greenways Team

From the manager: Hi Steph!

Thank you for your review and for highlighting the positives of your stay.

We’re really pleased to hear you found the site spacious, clean, and well looked after, and that our team helped make you feel welcome — that’s always great to hear.

We’re sorry you experienced issues with water pressure during your visit. This was caused by a temporary mechanical fault with one of our pumps, which is being replaced, and we’re also investing in further upgrades to strengthen the system going forward. We also appreciate your comment regarding an on-site shop — it’s a suggestion we’ve heard from several guests, and we’re considering the possibility of bringing one back in the future.

Thank you again for your feedback. We look forward to seeing you back at Greenways and providing an even smoother experience next time!

Kind Regards,
The Greenways Team

Lovely site, we will be back!

Kady H.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely area and general feel to the campsite. We stayed on the lower quiet field and it was perfect with our toddler who is a light sleeper. 10 minute walk down the hill to the beach is convenient (the hill not so much on the way back up haha) We did visit over August bank holiday so it was busy but that’s to be expected. There was live music on the Saturday night which was awesome. And also a pizza takeaway and outdoor bar on site. We will definitely be back!

Disliked The only downside to our stay was the lack of power to the showers, they just drizzled down the wall but I think that’s only due to the capacity of people staying on site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Kady,

We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere of the site, especially the quiet field which suited your family so well. It’s great that you made the most of the location with the short walk to the beach, as well as the live music, pizza takeaway, and outdoor bar — all part of creating a fun and memorable stay.

We appreciate your comment about the shower pressure. This was due to a mechanical fault with one of our pumps over the Bank Holiday weekend, rather than capacity of people. The pump in question was not running at full efficiency unfortunately. This was however our seventh full weekend at the campsite this year and the only weekend we have had problems with water pressure and we’ve already instructed our engineers to replace the pump and are looking at ways to strengthen the system further to ensure it doesn’t happen again in the future.

We’re delighted to hear you’ll be returning to Greenways, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another great stay!

Kind regards,
The Greenways Team

Katarina B.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked 2nd time camping there. Great location for beaches and walks, had some nice activities over the weekend. Lovely open fields for pitches and play areas for children.

Disliked Shower and toilet blocks need to cleaned more frequently especially when campsite is fully booked and floors and showers are dirty as a result. There is often no water pressure in the showers. Sometimes toilets have no loo roll and have run out.
Not enough hair dryers or facilities to dry hair.
Not enough hooks in showers to hang clothes, towels and toiletries from.
Some of washing up sink plugs leak and need to be checked on.
Optional electric hook up pitches would be great.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely to be back at Greenways. Lovely hot showers. Nice and quiet, considering it was the summer holidays.

Disliked There was no water for the afternoon and evening of one day. Which made cooking dinner problematic and also considering it was 30° we couldn't access any drinking water. Toilets wouldnt flush, so bathrooms were getting pretty disgusting. Lad at reception wasn't helpful or apologetic, just said someone was looking for the keys...? An offer of drinking water would have been nice. The water eventually got turned back on later in the evening, but no word from any staff. This was the third time we've stayed. It didn't feel as clean as I remembered previously.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, and for returning to Greenways — we truly appreciate your continued support!

We're really pleased to hear you once again enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and hot showers, even during the busy summer holiday period. However, we're sorry to learn that this stay didn’t quite live up to your previous experiences with us due to the water pressure problems over the weekend.

The water issue you experienced was the result of a mechanical fault with one of our on-site pumps, which unfortunately happened during peak demand times over the weekend . While this was an unforeseen issue which was out of our control, we do recognise the inconvenience it caused — especially during such a busy weekend.

We have spoken with our engineers and they are installing a new pump ASAP and we plan to install an additional backup pump to hopefully stop this ever happening again.

We appreciate your honest feedback, especially as a returning guest. We will get this water system strengthened and we hope you'll consider staying with us again and experiencing the site at its best.

Kind regards,
The Greenways Team

Absolutely superb place to stay.

John S.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Great location
Easy walk - Road, or county path (daytime) -to local beach/shop(basics only) and great Hotel beer garden.
Magnificent views

Absolutely superb shower/washroom/ toilet facilities.

Security guards in the evening/night.

Disliked No information leaflet available for any advice regarding local paths, recycling locations etc at reception.

No convenient recycling for anything but cardboard

Not easy to find a way down to the coastal path if heading West- absolute nightmare- and not much better heading East.
The sign starts well enough just above Oxwich Castle, but after a half dozen or so gates they disappear and you have to climb over locked gates and guess where to head.

Local attractions

The stunning sands of Oxwich Bay and their fringe of dunes, woodland and coastal footpath should be your first Gower Peninsula port of call, for long lazy days sunbathing and sandcastle building, summer watersports such as sailing, swimming, windsurfing and diving, and boat and jetski launch from the beach. Around the sands, this is prime walking land: take the Gower Coast Path from the bay for a three-and-a-half-mile coastal and woodland ramble to Oxwich Point, or around the same distance from the bay to Port Eynon Walk via Three Cliffs Bay and Port Head. The wetland site of Oxwich National Nature Reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, is also well worth a wander. For a city sightseeing day, Swansea is half an hour's drive from the park.
