Enjoying the Gower from a CS
Gowerton was initially our post lockdown choice, our first choice had to be cancelled! Gowerton phoned two weeks before our stay to say we could not pitch as they were flooded! It seemed like a fated time! We then managed to secure our booking, eventually for a six night stay. (I assume through cancellations). Family joining us later in the week.
What a great choice we made. So easy to travel to, a large, well managed site and within easy reach of the whole of the Gower peninsula.
During this unprecedented time, emotions from everyone are heightened, not least when the site is still struggling with wet grass pitches near to the side road from high tide and winds blown in at the beginning of the estuary!
Staff were overwhelmed with this years events, so a little understanding and compassion goes a long way!
On arrival, we missed out on the last hard standing pitch but found a dryer grass pitch under trees and near the site road. The following morning, once vacated, we pitched on hard standing and settled for the duration. A similar little shuffle from a family member on their arrival and we were all good and next to one another! Bonus!
Staff went out of their way to accommodate and with a little flexibility on our part, all was well.
Plenty to do; A great cycle ride from the site to Mumbles, riding through the old valley rail route 4. Fantastic beaches and headland to explore within a short drive away and nearby amenities to stock up and refuel!
I loved the site so much, I have booked a two week stay next year! I need to explore the other side of the estuary! I also want to return to the areas we visited. It will be via regular public transport next time, as we have a motorhome. Just loved it.
FYI; Everyone os responsible for their own hygiene and cleanliness of what they use. Leave areas as you would expect to find them. The wardens are working under extreme circumstances and are going above and beyond to keep sites open for us all to enjoy. Gowerton keep doing what you are doing and we will see you next year. Thank you
