Peaceful and well located.

Being only one hours drive from home, the location of Tredegar House CC Site couldn't be better. So too the welcome and helpfulness of the site staff. With Caerphilly, Caerleon, Usk, and Newport Transporter Bridge and Wetlands each being only a cycle ride away along some traffic free cycle routes, and quiet country lanes, the side is perfect for motor home and other campers with bikes. Whilst we were there the site was full, but peaceful, as was Tredegar House and Gardens, just a stroll away. Wi fi access is excellent, but television reception is poor, so take plenty of games and books if you are expecting poor weather. A weakness of this site when full is the shortage of WCs and dish washing sinks. Queueing can be expected, some of it quite lengthy. The pitches are fairly spacious and have a variety of outlooks. The site is very clean, tidy, and well maintained. A word of warning to cyclists however!! Many of the cycle ways into and around Newport, whilst well constructed and signed, are also strewn with broken glass, as bottle smashing seems to be a favoured pastime of a few of the locals. Occasional cycle portage is recommended. One other bonus if you are staying for several nights, Asda is only a short walk, ride or drive away!!

Pleasantly surprised

Given the size of this site we were very surprised to find that it was an extremely clean and well looked after place. You can hear the m4 but not an issue. A must do and see is the Newport transporter bridge. We struggled with the TV reception but not too big a problem as we don't watch it much while away.

Lovely site and lots to do

I thought it might be useful to mention access off the M4. When approaching from the East, you pretty much have to use the big roundabout to do a U-Turn - come off at the 4th exit, but BE SURE TO STAY FAR LEFT ON THE 4th exit otherwise you will end up back on the M4 heading back East. This site is located in the grounds of the now National Trust run Tredegar house, so you have full use of the grounds AT ALL TIMES! Brilliant. There is a Fish and Chip shop 5 min's walk through the park, which (despite looking a bit dodgy - sorry to say) had AMAZING freshly cooked F&C. Well worth a visit. Found the site very convenient for the Cardiff East park and ride (£3 for the parking all day and bus tickets for all passengers included. For £5 you can use the bus ticket to go on to the bay and back on the Baycar bendy bus). Word of warning about the P&R - do not miss the last bus as it is in a secure compound that does not allow pedestrian access and LOCKS after the last bus leaves.  Site also very handy for a good variety of CADW sites - Caerleon and Caerwent, Big Pit coal mining museum in Blaenafon world heritage site, Caerphilly Castle and Castell Coch.  Not much further down the eastbound M4 is St Fagans welsh life museum - free and amazing.  Overall, plenty to do for a week or more. There is a large 24hr Asda 5 mins down the road for essentials.  Of course it is possible to hear the M4, at all times, but it's like a constant hum. You can either live with it or not. We were fine but it is a consideration.  Be prepared for very hard ground for the awning on the hard standings - large mallet and rock pegs essential. The last thing to note is that you put all of your trash in one bag as it all gets separated at the depot. Enjoy your stay if you go, I know we did very much.

Second Stay!

Recently stayed for the second time, this lovely little site is very local for us and we took our 2 year old grandson for his first outing in the caravan, so decided not to go too far! The staff are always friendly and helpful and facilities are kept very clean. The fact that it is within the grounds of Tredegar House make it ideal for the dog and plenty to keep the grandson amused. It is especially nice to walk the grounds before the public start to arrive. Although only 30 mins away for us and perfect for a long weekend, as anyone who caravans knows, once there, set up and relaxing you could be 100 miles away! Will definitely be returning and would recommend the site. There is some minor noise from the M4 which is close by but don't let this deter you, it is an ideal spot for visiting Newport/Cardiff/Barry and the surrounding valleys and hills.

Handy for Cardiff, Newport, and National trust

Stopped in late July for a 3 night break found the wardens to be great and very helpful. Sited alongside Tredegar House with its large National Trust parkland and house found this to be pleasant place to stay, however Newport / Welsh coastal path from the site is not to be recommended for the light hearted ie traffic, rubbish dump, and dockland areas. Newport transporter bridge is worth investigating as is the nearby National Trust house and gardens at Dyffryn. Site can be a little bit cramped when full but all in all well worth a visit.

would visit again

Easy access from the motorway and well signposted. A beautiful site in wonderful parkland with a stately home to boot! The staff were extremely helpful and hardworking, with lots of information for every eventuality to hand. Found so many things to do and see in Newport the week flew by. We will however revisit NOT in school holidays as there were many naughty children on the site. This possibly contributed to sometimes messy facilities, despite the wonderful efforts by the staff. A little disappointed by this but out of the control of the staff. Overall a nice visit

Wonderful Park

The site is situated in a large beautiful park and the National Trust house is definitely worth a visit. As expected the site itself is very well run and the facilities immaculate. However, the number of male showers and toilets seemed to few since I had to queue  twice for a toilet in four days. If you are troubled by traffic noise then be warned that there is continuous noise day and night.  If you like shopping in Asda there is one next door! We had never been to Newport before and were a little disappointed in what it has to offer.

Family holiday

Excellent site and location for exploring S Wales/Cardiff area.  The wardens, Lisa, Jim, Mel and husband were very welcoming and friendly despite being busy.  They always had time for you.  Great holiday.

To the manor born

Stayed here for a weekend in July . Lovely site and free use of the park and grounds , especially nice to do the walk around the lake in the evening when the park is quiet . There is some distant noise from the M4 , but we did not find this a problem.  Tredegar house worth a visit , and also if you've a head for heights do visit the Newport Transporter Bridge , and do the high level walk across it for the bargain price of £2-75
