About the site


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 one dog is welcome per pitch, and there is also a dog walking area available onsite too.

A note from the site themselves...

We as parents have directly experienced the way a disabled person can be invigorated by the countryside from our own son, Jake, who has enjoyed many adventures in our campervan. It is with this in mind that we have taken particular consideration to the facilities we offer and their ability to be used by those who are able and those who are less able.

Our site has the mantra, feel the grass between your toes. We want guests to come and enjoy our wonderful part of South Wales and truly just enjoy the outdoors! Mandy, Mark and Jake

Lovely stay, but not sign posted very well to get to site. Spotlessly clean and would stay again. Yummi's takeaway delivers to site too.

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)
