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.

The good. The location is fab and the pitches are large, with plenty of space for kids to play. A tail pitch area very tidy and a play park was a bonus for my daughter. There were no staff at all the entire weekend Self check-in meant no campsite or local knowledge shared and shop was always closed - no Wi-Fi. When we left on the Monday, a cleaner had been in but that was the only person we saw. The facilities are located at the entrance, so quite far from the furthest pitches and with the weather blowing a gale, was hard to use them for washing up etc. Could use a few more hedgerows as very exposed to elements, we did not use our awning for fear of it blowing away. We always use the shop if there is one listed, so when it didn't open, was a bit disappointing. We would not return but would recommend to others with some knowledge of the above.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. Sorry you did not see me apart from when I was cleaning the shower block. There is a bell on the shop door and the welcome board that can be used to access the shop or ask any questions you might have. I am glad that you located your pitch from the details on the welcome board. I did walk to your pitch on several occasions but there was no vehicle present. When the wind blows it does catch us but the wind during your stay was extremely strong and kept changing direction. Sorry if this spoiled your stay with us and made the wash up area difficult. We do not have wifi as stated on our details. Mandy.
