Why stay here ...

The photographs show our CL site and its proximity to the sea, cliffs and beach that is 700m away by footpath. A short walk through our adjacent field, over the stile takes you onto the Welsh Coastal Footpath. Our CL is possibly the closest to the sea on Gower and has magnificent uninterrupted views over the Bristol Channel to North Devon. Lundy and Cornwall. The CL is surrounded by mature hedges and we live close by at the top of the field. The National Trust owns the bulk of the cliff, beaches and headland as well as common land on Rhossili Down and all are freely accessible to walkers. Rhossili village is 10 to 15 minute walk where there is The Worms Head Hotel, NT Centre and Car Park (free to NT Members), cafe', craft shop and St Mary's Church. The nearest shops are one mile and two miles the  other way.

Many of our visitors have been coming for  years and we have a lot of repeat bookings. They value the tranquillity of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, views, bird life, beaches, unspoilt landscapes and the ability to walk miles on the network of footpaths. A service bus passes the entrance to Swansea and other parts of Gower. The site is on a slight slope but 3 pitches are level and the other 2 nearly so.

Electricity and water are close to hand. In case of any traction difficulty in wetter weather we have a Land Rover on hand to assist if required. Entrance off the main road is adequate for the smaller and medium sized vans, larger vans up to 7.5 metre can manage with care. Swing out onto the opposite side as you turn in coming from Swansea direction with bigger units. Sorry but twin axle caravans and the very large motor homes will not manage the entrance. This site has operated since the 1960's and we have owned it since 1978. We are camper van owners who have travelled extensively in the UK and Western Europe and appreciate Members requirements. We are on hand, helpful and practical people who can deal with most problems that may occur. Note that breathable ground sheets only must be used in awnings. One or two dogs acceptable if kept on leads and under control but any more are at our discretion. Advise in advance.

Our haven of peace & tranquility

We have been coming here regularly now for the last few years, usually a few times each year. Beryl is so welcoming and friendly and the site is truly beautiful...the views are stunning...one of my happy places.

What a hidden gem

Mewslade View is a fantastic location with lovely views across the fields to the Sea. The owners are particularly friendly. A pre-trip use of Google Street view was handy to know where the entrance was but even then we weren't too sure it was the right way in as it... Show more

Great site

This is a brilliant site with fantastic views to the hilltops and sea,we were at the bottom of the field and had plenty of room to put our sun canopy up but the higher you get it’s harder to put an awning up even though the caravan pitch was level... Show more

Great location

This CL is in a great location. You can walk directly from the site on to the coastal path and, whilst it is a bit of a scramble, down to the beautiful beach. It is a great spot for dog walkers. Do follow the guidance for access to the... Show more

Not for Motorhomes

Holidaying in a motorhome is more about travelling than staying. I normally only stay one night at any particular location. CLs that expect you to stay 3 nights are not, in my view, motorhome friendly. Their website should state their minimum length of stay. Planning... Show more
