Grass touring pitches

Happy Jakes Touring Park is a peaceful location deep in the Vale of Glamorgan, 15 minutes from the seaside resort Barry of Gavin and Stacey fame. Spacious grass pitches are available for tents and tourers, with the option of electric too. The owners have done their utmost to make the site accessible for all, with disabled and carer friendly bathrooms, along with a playpark and dog walking area. The beach is also only 15 minutes away!

VW-Type Campervan - Grass Tent/Campervan Pitches (Optional Electric)Apr 2024

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.

Large Tent - Grass Tent/Campervan Pitches (Optional Electric)Jul 2023

Lovely little site to unwind completely. In the countryside and near to the coast, great local knowledge from hosts. Excellent service, they were in the garden around 10pm in their own time and I mentioned I needed a pump for an airbed. Two gents went off to find one and had a good look until they did. It's a great place to switch off your phone and completely unwind. Will be going back for sure.

Lovely level site, close to Cardiff airport but the planes really didn't intrude much at all. Owner is lovely and very helpful. Great phone reception so internet wasn't a problem. Fully accessible for wheelchairs even. We'll definitely be returning.

Medium Tent - Grass Tent/Campervan Pitches (Optional Electric)May 2023

A warm welcome - clean facilities - well situated for all the local attractions, particularly the fishing marks that we came down for. The old satnav was not very helpful for the final couple of turns but Jake should stay Happy - that's not down to him. Good value for money in my book.

Site's response

Great to hear you enjoyed your stay and managed to fit in the fishing. Jake is happy! Sat Navs do not like us :-(

Happy Jakes, happy stay

Absolutely loved this campsite. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. It was spotlessly clean with large showers, and family showers also. A shop on site with all the essentials. Will definitely be coming back.

Lovely quiet site. Great park for the kids. Cleanest facilities I have ever used. Just beware, the sat nav may take you down really narrow lanes to get there, so plan your route. Our journey home was much safer. Couldn't fault the site at all! Will definitely stay again!

Site's response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. The Sat Nav definitely does not like us and will bring people down country lanes unfortunately.

Would happily stay again.

Lovely little site. Our caravan was in perfect distance from the park so we could see the children at all times. Possibly the cleanest shower block I have ever been in.

Site's response

We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay and found the pitch well located for the children. Thank you for your lovely comment regarding the shower facilities :-))

Great family site

Lovely hidden gem of a campsite, easy to move around the site during the Coronavirus pandemic. Toilets and showers were well laid out and kept very clean. Easy to access local features such as the coast and Cardiff.

What's occurring?

We were on a "Gavin and Stacey" pilgrimage so the site was perfect... We could catch a train directly to Barry Island. Everything was as it should be and the toilet/shower facilities were some of the cleanest EVER! We will be back... Apparently we need to have dinner in Penarth (Villa Napoli)!

Site's response

Thank you for your great comments. So pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and found the train service from Llantwit Major ideal for getting to Barry Island for your tour. We have many lovely dining choices around with quite a few being closer in the Towns of Llantwit Major and Cowbridge. Something for everyone.
