Liked: This is hard to write but i'd say the fish and chip shop on site was nice, and the two ladies running it were lovely.
Disliked: My recent stay at this campsite was far from the peaceful nature retreat I had anticipated. Upon arrival, I noticed warning signs absolving management of responsibility for any property damage or personal injury - not exactly a reassuring welcome.
The facilities were poorly maintained, with unpleasant bathroom conditions that included a shit left in the shower. The atmosphere was consistently disrupted by the strong odor of marijuana permeating the grounds both in the evening and during breakfast hours.
Sleep was nearly impossible due to extremely loud music playing well into the night. The morning brought little relief as unsupervised children ran through the campsite shouting.
Perhaps most concerning was the regular presence of police vans patrolling the area, suggesting ongoing issues with maintaining order.
For families or anyone seeking a relaxing outdoor experience, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. The management appears unwilling or unable to enforce basic standards of cleanliness, noise control, or appropriate behavior

Liked: Nice size pitch
Staff were very nice and friendly.
Disliked: Very scruffy site.
No thought to the environment here, zero recycling options just all black bags. Site is dog friends yet without any dog poo bins.
All caravans on site are dirty and scruffy.

Liked: The shower, toilet and dish washing facility was clean and tidy.
It’s probably a good site for families as ther ex was an in door pool and entertainment in the evening. There was an onsite fish & chips and the lady was very helpful .
Disliked: Very big site. Lots of static vans in need of cleaning and tidying up. Many caravans in storage on site which didn’t look appealing.
People in vans nearby were smoking weed.

Liked: Very clean facilities
Friendly staff
Good variety of facilities, waste disposal, bar, pool, laundrette toilets showers.
Not far from Swansea centre, ideal location to use a base
Disliked: A bit scruffy in areas - some caravans looked residential and had scrap metal and sofa outside them
Cost quite high, 30 per night not incl electric hook up. WiFi not included either as you had to buy it when connecting.
