Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Fantastic place to stay with a warm welcome. We found the campsite very clean with lovely warm showers and great facilities. Was kindly told no rush to leave the site in the morning as they are flexible. We enjoyed a lovely hearty breakfast and coffee that was very reasonable priced and will most certainly be a returning customer

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Easy to find. Friendly quiet site, well maintained. Showers were fab, plenty of hot water. Easy walk into the town and great beach/cliff walks.

Disliked: Being really picky would be great if there was a drive over grey waste.

Liked: Lovely area with lots of nice walks, very close to the station so you can visit other towns very easily. Everyone is very sweet and pleasant so don’t be shy in popping to the shop for an economical coffee or breakfast treat :)

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Dog friendly, clean toilets and free showers with no queues. Undercover washing up area. In a great location with walks from the campsite. Friendly staff and cafe on site. The owner personally showed u our pitch and gave us some options.

Disliked: Some guests zoomed around on those illegal electric scooters which really upset my dog.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Very accommodating, Dianne was brilliant with our late arrival and made us feel very welcome! Our pitch was in a great spot and we were explained where everything was and the various options, despite us being almost 2 hours later than planned Dianne took the time to ensure all was clear and we were comfortable. The showers were clean and nice and hot, the recycling options were refreshing to see. We didn't try the cafe but it looked very inviting with a nice play area for the kids and a grass open field that the dogs were able to use freely. Phone signal was decent. Nice clean site and friendly atmosphere - would definitely come back!

Disliked: Nothing comes to mind! Bit of a windy trek finding the site...like many others!

Local attractions

Coastal cravings are easily fulfilled around here. In Southerndown, tucked-away Dunraven Bay (20 minutes’ drive) has rockpools and compact sand for crafting sandcastles, while Merthyr Mawr (25 minutes) has towering sand dunes to clamber through and Barry Island (20 minutes) is packed with family amusements. Porthcawl (35 minutes), a little further west, is the go-to surfing spot, with several surf schools and beaches – although if you have your own board, try out Southerndown and Ogmore By Sea beach (25 minutes) too if the conditions are just right. The Welsh capital is likely, of course, to draw your eye too; Cardiff (40 minutes) has a gorgeous bay with restaurants, bars and barrage walks, and in the town centre, there’s a historic castle alongside restaurants, escape rooms, bars and stunning arcades.
