What customers say
Pool Farm, a cosy, family-run spot on a working farm, loved for its great hosts & spotless facilities. Farmers' animals, beach access, and a handy pub are big pluses. Basic kitchen, but expect patchy phone/Wi-Fi. A few say better loos lighting & signs would be good. A cracking, no-frills rural escape.

Great stay, would recommend!
Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely stay at Pool Farm for our very first camping trip!
Loved -
• Clean, spacious site
• Flushing toilet with soap and loo roll
• Friendly owners
• Pub over the road allowing dogs and great food
• Farm set up
• Fresh eggs for breakfast from the farm
• Cars were parked away from the pitch
Enjoyed so much that we stayed an extra night! Thank you.
Disliked • No signage to say where you were/weren’t supposed to be on the site (I know it’s a farm but it was a bit confusing as we had to walk through to get to our pitch and the children got way laid with the animals and wanted to see them)

Will be returning, good value for money.
Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked All you would need form a campsite, good value for money.
Friendly staff and good vibes.
The animals on the farm were also great for the kids, we set up next to the chicken and duck pen and it provided hours of entertainment for them!
Disliked Add another shower in the dog friendly field. Was a bit of a queue for the shower in the main camp unless you timed it right.

Perfect campsite for first time campers
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (no pets)
Liked Friendliness of hosts, very relaxed atmosphere. Toilets were cleaned daily to a high standard. Lovely to have the fridge and freezer and kettles as back up. Pick your own pitches were of a good size. Car park right next to camping and could take car on pitch to load. Very good location to all shops, the ideal location for Ogmore, Southerndown, and Porthcawl too. Also a pub just over the road if it all goes wrong! Gorgeous smell of a proper working farm (not to everyone’s tastes but it made my holiday!), with goats and cows nearby. Also lovely fresh eggs!
Disliked That we hadn’t booked to stay an extra night! It was a shame we didn’t have any internet or signal the whole time but other networks might have done. Some people would see that as a positive though!

We would 100% recommend this lovely family run, quiet camp site to any one looking for a relaxing camping getaway.
