What customers say

This is a well-kept, peaceful campsite with spacious, private spots. Guests rave about the clean facilities, including showers and dishwashing areas. Host Michael is always described as friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Highlights are fire pits, picnic tables, and the site's "eco outlook." While mostly positive, some guests suggested improvements like more phone charging stations.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Toilets clean and didn't smell. Excellent showers, excellent pot wash. Fire pits great. Host warm and welcoming. Phone charging points useful. Good phone signal on Vodafone, less good on Three.

Wonderfully peaceful and relaxing site.

Disliked A kettle in the barn would be useful. But nothing major.

Liked Limited number of separate mowed pitches, nicely spaced apart so you’re not camping on top of your neighbour. Nice clean showers and washing up facilities. Helpful, friendly owner.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Layout of pitches were spacious and clear. It was clear that the site’s goal was for campers enjoyment and not just a money making scheme. Our host was lovely, kind and respectful and there were a few little touches that go a long way (baby and feminine sanitary products stocked at an on site market).
Shower block was lovely and it was amazing to have a bit of luxury whilst out camping.

Disliked N/A.

Local attractions

The famed former home of famed Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, The Boathouse, is under 10 minutes' drive from the site. There are spectacular views of the Taf estuary from here (Thomas's first poem after moving in was on the view from his writing shed), and you should be able to see local species like seals and oystercatchers as well as herons and egrets. From The Boathouse (have a sturdy bite to eat in the tearoom first), set off on the mighty Wales Coast Path, the 870-mile route from Chepstow in Monmouthshire north to Queensferry in Flintshire. This is some spectacular scenery (hailed by travel boffins as the best coastal landscape in Britain), so aim to hike as much as you can manage; the Carmarthenshire section is 68 miles and includes the 2,470 acres of the Millennium Coastal Park overlooking the Gower peninsula. A couple of castles are within easy reach (Laugharne is 10 minutes' drive away and Llansteffan 25), but for a day out with a difference drive the 15 minutes to Pendine Sands, home of the splendid Museum of Speed.
