Wonderful area which we hadnt visited before, reminded me a lot of the Gower with the countryside. Not too far from the beach although we didn't visit it ourselves as we had days out planned. 30min drive to Cardiff Centre and 30min drive to Barry Island beach and amusement Park so even though the campsite was in a rural area it was still close enough to visit other places if needs be. If you don't fancy cooking you have takeaways etc in Llantwit Major which is a 10-15min drive (Big Sam's was a big thumbs up for us) Theres a lovely looking pub a stones throw away from the campsite (not sure if they do food) and also the site itself has a bar area and a lovely outdoor seating area.
The campsite itself was immaculate, don't listen to the negative review.....(there's always one 🤣) It is well kept and looked after, not a piece of rubbish in sight as someone comes around regularly to check this, and sometimes take your bins for you too as they are very active with their recycling.
There's 2 fields, one as you drive in which is a gravel car track with grass tent areas either side some electric some not, water taps all in close proximity too. And then if you go to the bottom of the gravel track there's a big field to allow for more non electric pitches. They've even had portaloos installed in the bottom field so that you don't have to walk all the way to the top to go to the loo (very thoughtful) and as far as portaloos go these were also kept clean and fully stocked with paper and sanitiser.
All the staff are friendly and welcoming, highly recommend a breakfast at the main building where the bar is, they serve till 11am and have options for kids like pancakes and waffles, veggie breakfasts and a traditional fry up.
There's a clean utility room where you can wash your dishes and even use a communal freezer.....again very thoughtful! Lots of little bits that you wouldn't expect but were available anyway like little shampoos in the shower and even a charging station where you can pay £1 to charge your phones (for the desperate teenagers 🤣) things I've never seen available at other campsites.
*NOTE* You can hire big firepits for £4 a night which I highly recommend and the wood is £7 a bag which lasted us 2 nights but depends how much you use it. Your not allowed to take your own wood but the fire pit comes with a griddle too so it does double up as a barbecue which is handy and then you can enjoy some marshmallows around the fire for dessert 😍 If you prebook your fireplace and wood (get firelighters too) it will be there at your pitch when you arrive. All very efficient
