Motorhome - Electric Grass PitchesMay 2026

Lovely site adjacent to a working farm. Grounds beautifully kept and some of the best facilities I’ve experienced this week. Site not manned but didn’t need anyone as you pick your own pitch on arrival.

pristine site

A note from the site themselves...

The farmhouse dates back to the 1800s and used to be the milking parlour before it was converted back in the early 2000s. On the edge of the farm, there is a disused railway line, which carried coal from the Welsh Valleys to Barry Docks.

David and his late wife, Thelma, established the caravan site in the 1960s. They had two children, Claire and Daniel. Daniel runs the farm and caravan site alongside his father.

David lives on site in the farmhouse buildings, and Daniel is on call should you need him.

Things to do on site and in the Cardiff area

For a mix of history and culture, visit Europe's youngest capital city of Cardiff. Explore the ancient castles or spend your day's shopping, whatever you do, Cardiff has something for everyone. And access to the city couldn't be any easier from this caravan site - it is only a 20-minute drive or a bus stop a couple of minutes walk away.

The same road in the opposite direction leads to Barry and the famous Barry Island. Think sandy beaches, entertainment, beautiful parks and of course, the setting for BBC's 'Gavin and Stacey'.
