About Happy Jakes Touring Park
Expect a warm welcome at this relaxed Welsh park. Located 30 minutes outside of Cardiff, the site benefits from being within easy reach of attractions and the coast, whilst nestled in the peaceful countryside. Pitches here are suitable for tents, trailer tents, motorhomes and touring caravans. Tents are in the level centre of the park on open pitches, with the remainder pitched around the park's edge on exceptionally large grass pitches with optional 16 amp electric. Evenings can also be spent cooking up a BBQ, as long as it is raised from the ground. Please note, campfires are prohibited. Up to two dogs are welcome per pitch, and there is also a dog walking area available onsite too.
Happy Jakes Touring Park is open from 28/03 to 26/10.
Clean showers and toilets are provided. Disabled access is excellent with wet rooms and a heated shower and loo block which is big enough to take a wheelchair user and carer, or up to four family members.
There is also a launderette, washing up area with hot water, tourist information room, and dedicated dog walking/play area. Children have plenty of open space to run around and play ball games in, as well as a small play area with a climbing frame.
There are multiple pubs within a five minute drive including The Blacksmiths Arms, The Three Horseshoes and The Boverton Castle. A Premier and Spar are also within a five minute drive for picking up essentials.

Lovely site. Owner was friendly and helpful when we struggled to find our pitch. There was a map but we hadn't looked it properly, at a second glance it was quite simple. The site was clean and tidy, water available close to our pitch. The toilets and showers were clean and tidy though we didn't use the shower as were heading home. Lovely walks around the area and not to far from the beaches. Definitely on my list to return if we are in the area again.
Pleasant campsite

Very clean, lovely place to stay. The owner was so welcoming and the campsite was set out perfectly. Our first holiday with our 1 year old couldn't have gone any better. We will definitely be returning maybe to stay in a pod next time for longer.

Things to do on site and in the Flemingston area
There's so much to see on this part of coast! After the ruins and stepping stones of twelfth century Ogmore Castle (20 minutes), 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 - and bring a sledge (really).
A couple of days in Cardiff (30 minutes) are a must to see sights such as Cardiff Castle, Llandaff Cathedral, the National History Museum at St Fagans, the National Museum and Gallery of Wales. Be sure to also visit Cardiff Bay for some boat spotting!
For Gavin and Stacey lovers, a trip to Barry (15 minutes) is the perfect way to spend the day. Enjoy the attractions at Barry Island Pleasure Park, see Marco's Cafe or take a dip in the sea.
Other attractions include:
- Llantwit Major Beach (10 minutes)
- Dyffryn House (20 minutes)
- Llanerch Vineyard (25 minutes)
- Castell Coch (35 minutes)
- Millennium Stadium (35 minutes)
