Smile, you’re at Happy Jakes Touring Park. And there are a few reasons for why. This lush little Welsh countryside park is peacefully placed in the countryside deep in the Vale of Glamorgan – but is only a few miles from the Blue Flag beaches, cliffs and coves of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, including seaside resort Barry of Gavin and Stacey fame: fans of Uncle Bryn, Nessa et al can book a Gavin and Stacey tour in the town to see the main tellyvisual sights.
Around 15 miles to the east lies Cardiff, capital for days and nights out, or you could contentedly base the family at Happy Jakes to coast around the local castles, bike routes, gardens and activities on/in land and water. That’s tidy, that is.
Family owners Mandy, Mark and (famed) Jake have been honing and adding to Happy Jakes Touring Park since opening in 2011, with disabled access high on the agenda: the wetrooms in the spick and span heated shower and toilet block are big enough to take a wheelchair user and carer, or up to four family members. There’s also a launderette, washing up area with hot water, tourist information room, and a dedicated dog walking/play area for dedicated dogs (who stay for free; happy woof).
Looking for nosh and tipples to put an additional smile on your face? Pick up all sorts of fresh Welsh produce at the local farmers’ markets, farm shops and fruit farms. But if cooking on holiday is a thing to be avoided at all costs, Happy Jakes is three miles from ancient market town Cowbridge and its dozen or so pubs and restaurants for hungry sorts.
Open van 29-3-2019 tot 31-10-2019

Well kept very clean site, out in the country
Van de manager...
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and enjoyed the spacious pitches. As you say the pitch is big enough for you to be able to position your motorhome to gain the most of the sun (being south facing the sun is around all day) and to protect from the windier days. Its a bit of a challenge to achieve water temperatures that will suit everyone and I know from my own children that they prefer the lower temperatures. However when the temperature is reduced further the adults on site have made reference to it. We will try and give it a tweak and check with future visitors. |

We are glad that you enjoyed the location and found the facilities to your liking. As you say we can be susceptible to wind as we are a fairly open location and not far from the coast. The layout of the site is required to conform to planning permission and therefore does not allow us to locate the tents in an area that has not been approved. We do in exceptional conditions try to pitch tents near to the hedge when weather conditions are too difficult which is acceptable for genuine harsh conditions. We have tried to include as many pictures as we can of the site to give our visitors and overall idea of the site and its layout. |

Thank you for your kind comments. We are glad that you found the site and its facilities to your liking. As with many touring sites some of our pitches are seasonal where our visitors arrive at the beginning of the season and leave at the end. There are a limited number of these on site but they do make their pitches their own whilst they are here and providing they keep them to our standards and in keeping with the rest of the site we are happy. Some do get enthusiastic with the solar lights but many of our visiting campers enjoy the evening display and comment how much they have enjoyed seeing them. |

Thank you for your comments. We are pleased that you enjoyed the large pitches and were able to avail of the designated 2.5 acre dog walking field. We do ask owners of dogs to pick up/remove and dispose of the bags safely which does currently mean they are required to be responsible for the disposal. |

Please note satnavs or maps may take you down a narrow route exiting at Junction 34. Please follow the instructions below.
From the east (Cardiff)
Leave the M4 at Junction 33 and follow the signs towards Cardiff International Airport. Then join the B4265 towards Llantwit Major.
Pass the petrol station on your left. Continue up a slight hill until you come to the junction for St Athan Village. Turn right at the monument and continue through St Athan passing the military base on your left (approximately 2.5 miles). You will see a brown tourism sign for Happy Jakes. Follow this sign and a further two before arriving at the site.
From the west
Leave the M4 at Junction 37 and follow the A48 towards Bridgend. At the traffic lights in Bridgend turn right signposted for Llantwit Major. Follow the road for almost seven miles, going through the villages of Ewenny, St Brides and Wick. Continue to the roundabout at Llantwit Major and go straight on. Go straight on at the next mini roundabout.
Go through the first set of traffic lights. Turn left at the next set of traffic lights and under the railway bridge. Continue for approximately two miles. At the junction, turn left onto St Athan Road where you will see a brown tourist information sign for Happy Jakes. Follow the next two brown signs turning left. (Do not take a left into the narrow lane at New Barn as it's not suitable for caravans).
Lokale bezienswaardigheden
What a fortuitous setting has Happy Jakes: close to castles and coast, parks and gardens, villages and vineyards, and active opps like surfing, horse-riding, golf and fishing… all alongside finding out what’s occurring in Barry.
Surf, canter, paintball, go-kart or have a coastal path amble along the nearby Glamorgan Heritage Coast running for 14 miles from Porthcawl to Aberthaw (paintballing and go-karting along clifftop paths not recommended).
There’s so much to see on this part of coast that even long-legged/fit people should take more than a day to do it: after the ruins and stepping stones of 12th-century Ogmore Castle, follow the pathway to the village of Merthyr Mawr backed by a maze of spectacular sand dunes, over 300 species of flower and the Big Dipper, the biggest sand dune in Europe – bring a sledge (really).
Two country parks are on the eastern part of the coastal path – Porthkerry Country Park near Barry and Cosmeston Lakes Country Park at posh Penarth seven miles from Cardiff.
Fancy fossil hunting? The nearby town of Llantwit Major is one of four in the Vale of Glamorgan (Barry, Cowbridge and Penarth are the others) and so ancient you can pick up Jurassic fossils on its Collugh beach (which has an Iron Age hill fort too). If you’re a surfer, the Collugh waves are a popular place; also get on board with things by veering west outside the Vale of Glamorgan to Porthcawl in Bridgend.
Have another couple of days in Cardiff to see sights such as Cardiff Castle and Llandaff Cathedral, the very fab open air National History Museum at St Fagans, the National Museum and Gallery of Wales, other city castles and all things Doctor at BBC Cardiff’s The Doctor Who Experience.
Fans of the Doctor might also be interested to know that Bad Wolf Bay is reachable from Happy Jakes too: it’s at Southerndown’s Dunraven Bay on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast.
