  • Well-located site in the Swansea valley just off the M4 corridor
  • A 15-minute drive to Swansea and 30 minutes to the Gower Peninsula
  • Café, clubhouse, live entertainment and fishing on site
Centrally located just north of Wales’ second biggest city, Riverside Caravan Park makes a brill base for touring both the country’s south and west. This family-run spot with an indoor swimming pool (open during high season only) and fishing facilities is between the Swansea valley and the M4 corridor, about half an hour’s drive from the stunning scenery of the Gower Peninsula... Before hopping around the beaches though, it’s best to get in a good feed at the chip shop (open during high season only), grab a takeaway or – if it’s Sunday – try one of the traditional dinners at the park. A clubhouse is on site for drinks post-explores and entertainment ranging from bingo to live music is put on in the evenings as well. Food figured out, start your adventures in the west after a pick-me-up coffee from the café, beginning with the Mumbles half an hour’s drive away for its pretty pier and fancy houses – the abode of well-known Welshwoman Catherine Zeta-Jones is around here somewhere. Wide and sandy Llangennith (about 40 minutes’ drive) could be next, or you might want to amble along the coastal path at Rhosilli (50 minutes) for epic views over the ocean. Surf with the seals at Oxwich Bay (also 50 minutes) or curl up on a blanket at a smaller cove, Broughton Bay, about 40 minutes away. Closer beaches that have a bit more of a built-up setting include Swansea’s very own bay (20 minutes) and Aberavon (the same distance) with its Aquasplash pool. Kids not tired out yet after full-on days? The play area back on base should get them feeling sleepy enough for a good night’s rest, ready to do it all over again the next morning...

What customers say

This campsite offers a range of facilities including a swimming pool and entertainment, with many guests praising the friendly and helpful staff. However, reviews frequently mention issues with cleanliness, particularly in toilet and shower blocks, and a general 'run down' appearance of the site. Noise from other guests and the presence of permanent residents are also recurring concerns, leading some to feel unsafe and describe it as resembling a "traveller site". Pitch drainage and crowding are also noted drawbacks.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Yes there’s massive of permanent vans but they all made us feel welcome.
Didn’t feel uneasy at all.
Good level pitches , close to the toilet /showers. We had a fantastic stay and evening in the club house( not normally something I do) played bingo and the singer after was awesome!
They even let well behaved dogs in the club house bonus. Staff were so friendly & lovely , especially the lady who booked us in behind the bar, sorry didn’t get your name but thank you for making us so welcome . I normally prefer smaller sites but I would definitely come back here.
All quiet after 11pm surprisingly for the size of the site.

Disliked Free beer (joking)
Nothing really

Liked Nothing

Disliked Where so I start ,firstly a deep clean everywhere would do it the world of good .
Showers and toilets dirty grimey and unhygienic.
Site is over crowed with pitches too close together.
Noise pollution is constant and cars up and down, with an essence of lets say herbal cigarettes .
I will never go again , what an eye opener . Please note the photos of the website are not how it looks now.
The people were friendly there.
They just need to keep the dogs on leads and nor left to run all over .

Liked We had a group family booking and we was placed together on quite a spacious area which was perfect as we have a good few kids between us. We read the negative reviews that had recently gone up and we was a bit concerned but I can honestly say that we felt safe and never experienced or saw anything bad everyone was friendly and we had a great time camping here and we will definitely be back again.

Liked That it was easy to book via Pitch Up.

Disliked This site just was not for us. We arrived, drove round and left. Pitches were very on top of each other. Large groups of people all round, very loud, music from various set ups being played loud, cars everywhere, scrap metal style trucks, lots of residential set ups with lounge sofas outside. Just didn’t feel safe to stay with my family and two dogs. Luckily we are quite laid back people and just moved on to another site which we managed to book via pitch up.

Local attractions

It’s not just beaches that lure people to this lovely area: the country parks are also swish, including Gnoll in Neath (15 minutes' drive) with its 100-acre early-18th-century landscaped garden. Visit for Aberdulais Falls and the sizable waterwheel or to have a knockabout at the golf course. The Neath and Tennant Canal’s around here too for woodland walks beside water… Go south to Swansea for more nature at Plantasia (15 minutes), a big public hothouse with all sorts of plants to see; the city’s main museum will also keep you occupied for a fair few hours with its film showings and photography exhibitions. Weather looking a bit iffy? Get on over to the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (30 minutes’ drive) for underground antics in the Brecon Beacons’ 10-mile-long cave system.
