  • Small, family-run farm site in south Wales’s scenic Neath Valley
  • Aberavon Beach 25 minutes’ drive; Gower Peninsula 40 minutes
  • Toilets and showers; campfires; covered communal barbecue area
Surrounded by the mountains and woodlands of the scenic Neath Valley of south Wales, Wenallt Wild Camp is a peaceful spot on a family-run farm on the outskirts of the village of Tonna, a 10-minute drive from the market town of Neath. There’s a lot to like about this site, starting with its handy location – within walking distance of the River Neath, plus convenience stores and a pub. Gnoll Country Park (five minutes’ drive or 20 minutes on foot) has woodland walks, duck ponds and adventure playgrounds, plus a nine-hole pitch-and-putt golf course. There’s also a lot to like about how easy it is to get out to the coast. The sandy beaches of Aberavon and Port Talbot are about 25 minutes away, while the Gower Peninsula National Landscape (40 minutes) has dramatic coastal paths, sheltered coves and historic sites such as the ruins of medieval Weobley Castle. There’s also lots to see (including waterfalls) along the area’s inland waterways. Wenallt Wild Camp has facilities including toilets and showers (all of which are maintained to a high standard) and a covered communal barbecue area with a dart board, dining table and firepit. You also have permission to build campfires (in the designated areas) and dogs (on leads) are welcome on site. Need to stock up on supplies? Try the local farm shop (five minutes) and sample some fresh Glamorgan produce.

What customers say

This well-kept wild camping spot offers spacious sites, lovely views, and a peaceful vibe. Guests rave about the friendly owners, clean facilities (compost toilets, showers), and fire pits. While basic, amenities are functional. Steep access and no drinking water are noted, but it's a highly recommended nature escape.

Jonny S.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite (pet friendly)

Liked Loved staying at Wenallt Wild Camping! Everything was clean, accessible and pitches were well spaced-out with great views. We loved having a fire every evening. Important to know that the running water is not drinkable - but there are always water bottles available, which made it really easy!

Disliked The only bit of feedback from us would be to have some more lights in the toilet block and the showers! Having a shower in the evening proved hilariously tricky as I left my torch back in the tent! :D

Alison E.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite (pet friendly)

Liked The views, cleanliness of the site. The road to it is very steep and narrow and the facilities are basic but given the name of the campsite this should be pretty obvious. It had some nice touches such as covered seating area and everything looked really well maintained. If you want easy access to a takeaway and a flushing loo, this isn't the place for you but if you want a lovely quiet spot then this is great.
