Why stay here ...

An easy drive to the beautiful Gower Peninsula, Gowerton Club Site is ideally placed to visit this 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'. With beaches that are clean, sandy and safe for swimming and surfing, to stunning costal and country walks the Gower is a must for all walkers and water sports enthusiast. Family friendly Oxwich, Caswell Bays, and the fabulous Rhossili, (voted one of the best beaches in Europe) are worth particular mention on this beautiful coast. This site really is the Gateway to the Gower, the perfect location for exploring the peninsula and around Swansea Bay.

Although the immaculately kept Gowerton Club Site has its own treasures, you'll also find plenty to see inland. Use the caravan park as your starting point and head over to the Vale of Neath, to Aberdulais Falls, and see how the waters have powered numerous industries over three hundred years. Then on to Craig Gwladys where you can walk the forest trails and climb the steep ascent with the hangliders soaring above you. On again to Pont Nedd Fechan, from where you can see nine major waterfalls on four rivers, then into the Brecon Beacons National Park. With national cycle paths close by bike riders will find the site an ideal place to stay with the nearby Millennium path a particular favourite.

Visitors to Gowerton Club Site can now access all the facilities at the Elba Playing fields through newly installed security gates, with football and rugby pitches, dog walks, skateboard and BMX ramps and safe access to Gowerton village and local shops.

Swansea is a short bus ride away with its famous indoor market, marina, National Waterfront Museum and shops and cafes. The local, motor home friendly, Swansea Park and Ride is also close by. Cardiff with all its tourist attractions, shopping and restaurants is easily accessible from the local train station which is a 20 minute walk from the site. The train journey to central Cardiff takes just over an hour, so treat yourselves to a day out in the Welsh capital.

There are plenty of quality, good value places to eat in the area. Whether it's water sports or walking, lazing on the beach or sightseeing Gowerton Club Site has it all.

Disappointing

I cannot understand why this site has been described as being in a lovely location, in our view it isn’t. Yes, there are many lovely places in this area, but you need a car, or be a long distance cycler to avail yourselves of them. This immediate area is dull and uninviting. When we arrived we were looking for a plot & a helpful chap dissuaded us from being in the front field, as he said it was close to the road, and noisy, so we went right to the back of the site and set up on a very nice pitch. Five minutes after setting up a very long goods train went by, we were about 40 yards from a railway line. The trains pass frequently. The site is a standard MHCC site, well laid out and neat and tidy, but there it ended for us.

Great base for Gower

This is a lovely, level site with views from the entrance across the estuary. It’s position means it is prone to flooding at certain times when heavy rain and high tides combine and this had been the case the week before I was there. I know the wardens had had a stressful time trying to get hold of people to warn/ cancel. Luckily my booking wasn’t affected and even more luckily I had beautiful weather for the whole 10 days. The site is well located for touring the Gower peninsula with its stunning beaches and walks, and also on Cycle Route 4 so it’s an easy bike ride to Mumbles or Swansea in one direction and Llanelli and Pembrey in the other. The band system for the showers etc seemed to work well and personally I never had to queue. Every other shower/ washbasin is blocked off to maintain distancing. Thank you to the wardens for their hard work in maintaining the site under difficult circumstances.

On Site 25th July

I loved this Site, it was in a great location and maintained to a very high standard The 4 Wardens were excellent, very welcoming, accommodating, helpful and friendly. Thank You I'm sorry but I need to add this, which is Definatly and by NO means aimed at the Wardens. It is aimed at other members/campers who allowed their children to cycle round the Site access roads, at times not supervised despite a lot of them being very young, and some did not wear helmits. There was great access to the playing fields, etc., surely they could have taken their children there, it would have been safer. Added to this when the children were not on their bikes they allowed them to play around other members/campers Pitches.

Disapointing holiday

Upon arrival we were greeted by the most miserable female warden we have ever met on a club site, we paid in vouchers and £1.80 in cash, she did nothing but moan about the cash but handled the vouchers with no problem so whats the difference?, whilst dealing with my wife another chap arrived to book in and his welcome by the warden was "get out and wait your turn only one at a time" he walked out and was not to pleased Considering she was so particular about cash and covid regs its a big shame this did not extend to the facilities block, in all our years using club sites the toilets were the worst we have seen, In the gents the hand dryer was broken and for 2 days there was no paper towel, the hand sanitizing was empty also for a couple days and the general cleanliness was bad to say the least. My wife said similar to the ladies toilets as they needed a good clean plus there was a instance where there was no toilet paper. As they have most of the shower cubicles and toilets locked up surely the ones that are open require cleaning more often due to the use they are getting as the site was fairly full. A few days into our holiday our minature shih tzu's dog lead broke and he walked to a caravan next but one to us and as we quickly spotted what had happened, it was no cause for alarm but the same female warden took it as another option to have a go at us which she did with avengance. She got told that if she was as quick to maintain the site/facilities block as she was to moan at everyone the place would look decent and covid safe. All she could say is if you don't like what you see go in reception and fill a complaint form out. Surprisingly not long after this the wardens were out cleaning the facilities block and they were spotted around more frequently. Later that day in our support a fellow caravaner came to us and said she deserved what she got as she asked for it with her attitude as apparently a few people had commented about the general state if the site and attitude. We have stayed at this site before and had a lovely holiday but after this time I don't think we will return for a long time which is a shame because of the beautiful location of the site.

Can't blame the site for the weather

We arrived in the rain on Saturday 15 August. The check in was quick and easy and the lady later rang us to advise of a hard standing becoming available. This was very welcome and appreciated because a motorhome on a soggy grass pitch, with more rain forecasted, is not a good idea. Because of Covid 19 the shower/toilet block was limited to a maximum of three people at any one time. With a site of this size, having only one toilet block, is a bit tight at the best of times but under the current restrictions it makes life very frustrating when queuing in the rain to use the facilities. As for the location we were disappointed, we knew that the site was not on the coast and we would need to drive to a beach but the town had little to offer in the way of eateries of bars. The one pub we did find was closed. This meant that we had to use the car every day/evening if we wished to go off site. Without Covid and days and days of rain our review may have been a little more positive.
