  • Well-maintained family-friendly site five mins' drive from Porthcawl
  • Rest Bay beach five minutes' drive; 10 minutes to Margam Country Park
  • Play area and plenty of space for games; bus stop just outside
Fancy pitching up near Porthcawl? A fine collection of beaches makes this popular seaside town a great choice for a break on the Glamorgan coast – and Dan-y-Graig Holiday Park, a few minutes’ drive from the town centre, is an equally excellent pick. This well-established family-run park doesn’t have tons of bright lights and noisy entertainments on site – instead the owners have chosen to focus on getting the essentials just right. That means you’ll have access to a launderette, a washing-up room and a chemical toilet waste disposal point as well as modern bathrooms with accessible facilities for disabled guests. That’s not to say that there's nothing for kids to do here – there’s a play area in the touring field (handy for keeping an eye on them while you get on with your life…) and plenty of grassy areas for games. Through the busier periods there are often activities to join in with, too – things like an Easter egg hunt and a summer sports day are popular. You’ll be well located for getting out and about here too – either heading to one of the nearby beaches, exploring the local countryside or hitting the outlet shops to pick up some bargains. It’s all within a short drive, and there's also a bus stop just outside for those travelling on public transport. All round, this is a pretty laidback place to spend some time; groups, dogs, families and solo travellers are all equally welcome at this friendly site. Perhaps the best testimony of all is the fact that many guests return year after year, sometimes forming lasting friendships along the way.

What customers say

Family-friendly site with spacious, level sites & great, clean facilities. Owner Sarah gets rave reviews for helpfulness. Kids love the amazing playground. Some feel sites are a bit close & facilities could use an update, but most find it convenient for attractions.

Liked Firstly, Sarah what a lovely woman. So friendly and understanding as we couldn't make the first night. Really lovely place, nice and quiet, better than other places we have stayed with children screaming and dogs barking, it was very respectful here. Easily accessible from the main road, but far enough that the road noise did not disturb us. Nice shower and toilet area, very clean.

Disliked Additional sinks in shower area would be good.

Liked An awesome weekend for our adults with learning difficulties group in the summer. Sarah was brilliant with us and couldn't do enough for us all to make it as smooth sailing as possible.

100% would recommend to anyone as there is something for all. All facilities were clean, tidy and appropriate to all.

We had a great time and will definitely be returning!

Liked As a group we have nothing to complain about. Sarah was so accommodating, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We chose this site as a first time camping group for the end of our outdoor education program. TYfu is a day service that offers vocational and social skill development to adult individuals who are neurodivergent and we could not have wished for a better experience, we look forward to seeing you all at the site next year for 2 nights this time. Highly recommended.

Local attractions

To the seaside first, perhaps? Porthcawl has a good range of beaches to choose from, whether you’d like to hit the waves at Rest Bay for surfing and paddleboarding, build sandcastles at Sandy Bay beach or Newton beach, or launch windsurfers from Trecco Bay. All are just a few minutes’ drive or bike ride away. Elsewhere along the nearby coast, you can scramble through the huge dunes at Merthyr Mawr (10 minutes’ drive), ride horses along the sands at Ogmore-by-Sea (20 minutes) or look out for fossils on the rocky beach at Llantwit Major (half an hour). And of course one can’t forget Porthcawl’s famed Elvis Festival, paying tribute to ‘the king’ every September. Heading inland instead, Margam Country Park (10 minutes) has extensive grounds to stroll through, as well as a small farm area with animals to pet or feed, including alpacas. There's plenty of space to ride your two wheels at Margam, all while being careful not to disrupt the wild deer roaming the park, of course. The country park also packs in an adventure playground and a Go Ape centre for more adventurous folks. Nearby, there are discount shops, a cinema and several restaurants at Designer Outlet Bridgend (10 minutes).
