What customers say
Great spot for exploring Cardiff/Newport, near the M4. Hosts Colleen & Sam are super friendly and helpful. Facilities are clean, some love the private loos. Road noise can be an issue for a few, and some find it a bit basic/scruffy. Mixed feedback on value.

Unsuitable for a good night's rest
Powered concrete slab motorhome site
Liked Warm welcome.
Disliked Totally unsuitable for a Motorhome site. It's right next to the M5 motorway which had busy traffic all night. We might as well have parked in a Parking lay-by on the motorway

Liked This site was ideal for me as it was close to the motorway and a local train station (Pye Corner) as I was travelling into Cardiff for a concert. Colleen was really friendly and welcoming and she very kindly dropped me off to the station and gave me some 20ps for the shower. The toilet and shower were kept clean and I had my own key for the toilet. I saw a review about the shower door not locking but it's self locking and I took the key in with me while using it. There was no pressure to leave by a certain time and I will definitely return the next time I'm in Wales. Thanks Colleen, you were amazing!

Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked The owners are friendly, it is a short walk to the canal and easy access to the motorway. Toilet and shower clean.
Disliked I was asked to pitch between the toilet and another car, it wasn’t an actual pitch more a parking space so had no space to myself. I note some people in the reviews were placed on pitches in Crystal stables, I was advised to park on the yard on Northern Hay. The area was a bit scruffy and there was one toilet and shower for this site. The toilet/shower room had no lock on the door and no blind over the glass pane in the door window - which unfortunately as a solo female traveller made me feel uneasy so made the decision to leave. I’m not sure that the pricing reflects the facilities as there are others nearby that offer more for a similar price.

Only 2 fencing lines to keep horses in field next to site, this caused an issue with our dog, especially with the sheep that were in the campsite facing off with him as well.
