  • No-frills, family-friendly site on Glamorgan’s Gower Peninsula
  • Oxwich Bay Beach 15 minutes’ drive and Mumbles 25 minutes
  • Horses and views of the Loughor Estuary on site
Looking to escape the crowds, but still be within easy reach of the coast for a laidback family break on the Gower? You can do just that at Glamorgan’s Crickton Farm Camping, a back-to-basics spot that may have minimal facilities (no electricity or showers) but packs in far-reaching views over the Loughor Estuary and plenty of space on the well-kept, level site for kids and adults alike to have a run around. Crickton Farm Camping is set next to a working livery yard, so you can say hello to the horses on your morning stroll. There are two pubs and a village shop within 10 minutes’ walk, and a larger shopping area with a supermarket, fish bar and cafés in Crofty (15 minutes’ drive). The site is also within easy reach of an array of beaches, with Oxwich Bay and Whiteford Sands both 15 minutes by car. If you fancy a night out, Mumbles (25 minutes’ drive) on Swansea Bay is a pleasant spot for an evening stroll and meal.

What customers say

Reviews praise the peaceful, quiet spot with great views and plenty of room. Booking was easy, and hosts were friendly. Some loved the simple stay, but others missed facilities like toilets or bins, finding it pricey for just a field, especially with road noise and long grass.

Liked Great location for exploring the Gower. Very welcoming hosts. Perfect facilities for what we needed (chemical toilet disposal, grey water disposal and drinking water).

Beautiful views of the bay and lovely sunset.

Disliked Grass a little long at time of stay but otherwise a perfect spot to explore.

Liked Peaceful. Lots of space. Stunning views. Hosts were really approachable helpful and friendly.

Disliked Wouldn’t stop me coming again but a toilet. Even if a portaloo and some bins would be a great touch.

Liked View

Disliked Road noise and it was just a field with disposal and a tap.
Grass was long, and had been cut recently so grass cuttings got everywhere.

Liked Ease of booking via Pitchup, quiet location.

Disliked Didn't feel particularly secure, although I think I did see CCTV. Felt as though I might as well have saved the money and gone off-grid.

Asked for payment again, despite already having made the payment already.
