Hardstanding pitch most with 16 amp hook up and most with exclusive tap point

Grass 10 amp pitches bollard with electric and waterpoint from top of field

Quiet riverside site on a farm half an hour's drive from Cardiff
A Welsh Coal Mining Experience 15 minutes' drive; Celtic Trail nearby
Barbecues welcome on site; mountain biking trails 15 minutes' drive

Stay here for outdoor adventures and gorgeous countryside… Set in the South Wales valleys and a 20-minute drive from Bridgend, Our Welsh Caravan and Camping is a peaceful site on a working sheep farm surrounded by outstanding scenery. This is a nice central base for exploring South Wales: it's half an hour's drive away from Cardiff and an hour from either the stunning Gower peninsula or the Four Waterfalls Walk in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. Handily for mountain bikers, the site is at a nice midway point for accessing BikePark Wales (35 minutes' drive) and Afan Forest Park (40 minutes); there are more mountain biking trails in Barry Sidings Countryside Park, 15 minutes' drive away from base. Keen hiker or cyclist? The Celtic Trail is just 300 metres from the site. There are mountain hiking trails over Mynydd y Gaer, 15 minutes' drive away, or the Ogmore Vale mountains to tackle nearby. You could set off on the Taff Ely Ridgeway walk in Glynogwr, five minutes' drive away from the site. If you're not feeling too outdoorsy, the site is a 15-minute drive from Designer Outlet Bridgend for shopping and 35 minutes from the beach in Southerndown. The site is level, at the river's edge on Hendre Ifan Goch Farm. Facilities include toilets, hot showers and a family/disabled room with shower and toilet facilities. This is a quiet site with no noise allowed after 10.30 pm. Barbecues are welcome.

What customers say

Top-notch, well-kept site with roomy, flat pitches, spotless facilities, and ripper staff. Guests love the hot showers and communal kitchen. Peaceful vibes, lovely scenery, and a great base for exploring. A few minor gripes about Wi-Fi and road noise, but mostly all good.

Liked REALLY lovely site, very clean and well stocked with essentials, friendly and knowledgeable staff. I can't speak highly enough about it.

Disliked The only negative is how close to a busy road it is. The traffic noise was a bit much most nights.

Liked It was a lovely site

Disliked Unsure of a few things, where grey waste, toilet waste was, not explained on arrival. Decided to not bother and sort out once I got home

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback, The grey waste is a grid just before the exit barrier and the waste was opposite the bins next to the facilities. I am sorry you weren't informed on arrival.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked Friendly welcome, comfortable pitch, clean facilities.
Picnic table and kettle in the washing up room were a great addition
Very close to cycle route 4 which was great for cycle tourists though some signs from the path would have been helpful.

Disliked Grass cuttings which hadn’t been collected
Could do with some more hooks in the showers to hang clothes and towel.

Local attractions

Your local section of the Celtic Trail is National Cycle Network Route 4, which passes 300 metres from the park on its lengthy route from London to Fishguard, and taking in the eastern section of the Celtic Trail, from Swansea to Chepstow, Abergavenny and Hay-on-Wye. Exploring by foot, it's a mile and a half from the farm to join the Taff Ely Ridgeway Walk through the Ely valley and Taff Vale, starting near Glynogwr and making its way through Llantrisant forest, Llantrisant and Garth Hill – look out from here for splendid views over Cardiff and the Taff valley. The walk then snakes along to Caerphilly Common to finish up among more spectacular scenery from Caerphilly mountain. Going coastwards, Porthcawl is 15 miles or about 25 minutes' drive away for access to sands, surf schools and the Welsh Coast Path, on its huge 870-mile run from Chepstow to Queensferry. Or head to Bridgend to take the interactive Nature Keeper Trail, looking out for 14 digital sculptures highlighting the nature and landscape of this pretty part of Wales.
