Highly recommended second visit cannot wait to go again. Wardens Brilliant

This was our second visit. At first with grandkids this time with our two Dalmatians. This site is clean and well maintained the wardens friendly, helpful and work with a smile. Facilities are kept very clean and grounds well maintained. We used a hard standing pitch which was very large accommodating car van and awning across the pitch. Grass pitches looked ample as well. Large dog walk available as well as a sports field by the site. Easy bike routes to the mumbles and to Llanelli bay. Will definitely visit again.

Excellent site but blighted by traffic noise

We stayed on spacious grass pitch 37 fromJuly27 until Aug3. We found that the site was immaculately kept and any staff we had contact with were always helpful and friendly. It was our first visit to the Gower area and we were pleasantly surprised how beautiful and uncrowded it was once you went west from the site with fabulous beaches and coast walks, we managed 80k during our stay and on some walks we hardly met a soul, they mostly congregate around the ends of the beaches that have the facilities and food. Gowerton is a typically urban suburb of a very busy Swansea, which brings me to the main gripe about the site (which nobody can do anything about), traffic noise 24/7. Unfortunately during our stayed the winds we predominantly in the quarter from wnw to easterly so all of the background noise from the urban area plus the railway line immediately to the north of the site, plus the main road to Llanelli running parallel to it and the M4 just beyond that made it very intrusive. It didn’t stop at night either so take some ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper. When the wind moved to the sw it was considerably quieter! The only other gripe, which I’m assuming is a temporary measure, is the fact that there are no rubbish/recycling bins around the site, everything has to be taken to the main bins by the entrance. Ok if your pitch is at the front but a long walk from other parts of the site which leads to people blocking the entrance on their way out (there’s no room to pull over out of the way) with occasional tailbacks beyond the exit barrier, I’m assuming the barriers have sensors to prevent them closing with a vehicle still underneath, if not the consequences of damage claims against the club could be expensive! Non of this would stop us visiting this site again.

Lovely, clean and quiet

We have returned to this site as it’s well located and clean. It really is spotless. We have had a couple of niggles which have prevented full 5 ticks. The bins are located a long way from many pitches and you end up putting rubbish in car and dropping as you leave. We also have found the staff to be very serious, don’t get me wrong they run a very tight ship but they are not of happy disposition. Staff do not seem friendly they are not rude they just give information (rules) in a very dry and direct way. Some of the rules we found to be a bit petty E.g today we stopped to chat to a fellow camper, no other vehicles coming, turned engine off and pulled to side (in car and only stopped for 2 mins) and we were told to please move on. There really was no harm with us chatting and being sociable. We also got reminded that dogs must be on a line no longer than 2m, again not a massive deal but there was no smile or any friendly chat. On arrival it was a very brief and formal chat of what to do. We just feel that if people are working in hospitality then they should be more chatty and friendly but maybe that’s our opinion but normally it’s lovely to chat to staff and find out about the area etc. Basically if you like a clean site and it’s in a good location for you it’s great. For us we would come back but we may try another site to see if this is the ethos post covid on all sites.

Clean, Quiet, Helpful Wardens

We stayed for 3 nights in our caravan & slept really well as our grass pitch was very quiet backing onto some houses. We found the level walk to the tesco express with our 2 dogs very convenient. The ehu /electric hook up was reliable(we have stayed on other sites where it wasnt working). The warden was polite & friendly & we tried to remember/follow the extensive instructions on etiquette/site rules. There was no extra charge for dogs or electric which was a surprising bonus. We would stay here again as it was a level site with easy access to the many gower beaches. We particularly enjoyed visiting arthurs stone, whitegrove beach for a long dog walk & swim. We also enjoyed visiting Oxwhich Bay Hotel for a cooked breakfast & beach walk. Both were under 30 mins drive from this site. The showers/toilets/vanity sinks were very clean & the bins were quite a long walk from our pitch but as we wanted a quiet spot this was to be expected. The no entry signs & one way system could do with better signage such as a sign with an arrow & list of pitch numbers as we unnecessarily drove round the wrong areas a couple of times as they looked so similar. The security was good on this site & the air seemed very clean & even when it got rainy & windy the site felt well sheltered by the abundant mature trees.

Lovely site..ignore any bad reviews

This is a lovely site. The wardens were fabulous, warming and very helpful. We chose a grass pitch which was level, well spaced and near the facilities. The facilities were clean and perfectly adequate. There is a cycle route straight outside the site but we walked to Llwyhendy, not particularly scenic tbh. There is a “Castle” on route but it’s tiny! This was a stop off for us en route to Devon. Nice quiet site though so would recommend

Bad attitude from warden

I arrived in the heat wave at 1145 as the book stated 1200 open, only to be meet by one very grumpy warden with a bad attitude, telling me we don't open until 1300, so why does the book state 1300, its wrong was the reply, you will need to leave the site and park up somewhere as you are blocking the entrance, my reply was rubbish there are 2 booking in lane and one straight thrue lane and as i have 1 7mt moho with a car on the back im not going anywhere, by now the heat was very high, not if she was bothered, by 1200 there was a total of 6 new arrivals all complaining about the book time, its a shame there time keeping is moved to suit them as a few days later i went to the toilet block at 1005 and it was closed with a sing on the door stating cleaning from 1015 to 1130 so its ok for them not to keep to the stated times. the site was clean but i do think there was not enough toilets for the size of pitches. if your pitch is close to the exit barrier then its like a race track from the very small road outside as its used as a rat run for boy racers so it is very noisy. with a bad attitude from the warden i will not come back and do not expect this from one as i have never had a issue before

lovely wardens and a well kept site.

The dog loved the beach at Porth Tywan ( Bury Port) just past Llanelli. Huge beach and only one other couple and a dog on it. Thought at first the sign was no dogs, but it was pick up after your dog. Plus it was free parking. One of my favourite places. ,

Great for Cycling

The site was very peaceful and the wardens were all very friendly and helpful. As soon as you go out of the site, onto the road, this joins the National Cycle Route 4, which takes you to Llanelli and beyond in one direction, and to Swansea Bay if you cycle tho other way. Swansea Bay is a great place to cycle to, with many places to eat and rest. The views on all of the cycle/walking routes are really lovely, mostly following the Welsh Coastal path. The tracks are good to walk and ride, largely flat too, which is a bonus. There is a lovely park when you arrive at Llanelli, and from there you can divert from NCR route 4 onto route 47 and this takes you up a slow constant gradient to a place called Tumble, then the Celtic trail beyond that. You can easily get food supplies from the shops at Gowerton, but we didn't find Gowerton had much else to offer. The walk from the site to the castle ruin at Loughor is very nice and the views of the sea inlet at Lougher are very pleasant. There is a cafe there at the boatyard, serving refreshments and food. This is a good site to stay at, and we feel you definitely need your own transport ( car or cycle) to visit the lovely surrounding area, otherwise use public transport.

Well Kept Site

Gowerton is a lovely site and very well kept, the wardens work very hard to keep it looking good. Spacious pitches some grass some hard standing. The shower/toilet block is kept very clean but in need of modernisation. It’s such a shame people abuse these facilities, on our last day there I found 3 toilets disgustingly dirty, shame on you women, I felt so sorry for the wardens who had to clean up your mess. Surely you don’t leave your toilets at home looking like this. Unfortunately we had dreadful rain whilst there and a lot of the pitches were flooded. Having a motorhome we rely on walking sadly there is not a great deal here, lovely walk to a ruined castle. We did walk into Gowerton which is an easy walk but we got caught short in one of the dreadful downpours soaked to the skin.

Gowerton Club site

Well kept site and easy access. Plenty of room around pitches. Although there is only one toilet block we never had to queue for a shower. The only small bugbear is that there is only one place for getting rid of rubbish and this is just beside reception.
