What customers say
Great M4 access for Cardiff/Newport. Hosts Colleen & Sam are super friendly & helpful. Clean facilities, some like private toilets. Motorway noise is a drawback for some, with a few finding it basic/scruffy. Opinions vary on value for money.

Unsuitable for a good night's rest
Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite
Liked Warm welcome.
Disliked Totally unsuitable for a Motorhome site. It's right next to the M5 motorway which had busy traffic all night. We might as well have parked in a Parking lay-by on the motorway

Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite
Liked This site was ideal for me as it was close to the motorway and a local train station (Pye Corner) as I was travelling into Cardiff for a concert. Colleen was really friendly and welcoming and she very kindly dropped me off to the station and gave me some 20ps for the shower. The toilet and shower were kept clean and I had my own key for the toilet. I saw a review about the shower door not locking but it's self locking and I took the key in with me while using it. There was no pressure to leave by a certain time and I will definitely return the next time I'm in Wales. Thanks Colleen, you were amazing!

Powered grass tent campsite
Liked Host made place for amongst the trailers. Toulet door with no lock. We weren't key. So one of us had to guard door from outside.
Disliked Overgrown grass. Next to horses. Not even pitches. Went back to main reception for alternative. They gave us space between trailers so we could sleep in our own car.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked The owners are friendly, it is a short walk to the canal and easy access to the motorway. Toilet and shower clean.
Disliked I was asked to pitch between the toilet and another car, it wasn’t an actual pitch more a parking space so had no space to myself. I note some people in the reviews were placed on pitches in Crystal stables, I was advised to park on the yard on Northern Hay. The area was a bit scruffy and there was one toilet and shower for this site. The toilet/shower room had no lock on the door and no blind over the glass pane in the door window - which unfortunately as a solo female traveller made me feel uneasy so made the decision to leave. I’m not sure that the pricing reflects the facilities as there are others nearby that offer more for a similar price.

Liked Not too busy
Friendly
Disliked Noise from motorway
Only 2 fencing lines to keep horses in field next to site, this caused an issue with our dog, especially with the sheep that were in the campsite facing off with him as well.
