Gower Peninsula camp site

[Scrump]

I am thinking I’d spend a few days next week in the Gower (weather dependent).
I recall reading about a South Wales campsite right on a beach but it didn’t take advance bookings, it was a case of turning up and see if there was apace.
I recall it was literally right next to the beach but cannot find details of it now.
Am I imagining this or does anyone know what it is called?

Any other recommendations for the Gower (in a 6m van).

This place didn't take bookings when I met my wife there 30 odd years ago! https://www.porteynon.com/

Or Three Cliffs Bay is a spectacular spot too.

Thanks Bill, will take a look.

In 2021 we camped at Llangennith Bank Farm, which overlooks Rhossili Bay. Hillend Camping Park, just below us, extends to the dunes behind the beach. Lovely spot.

Thanks TK. Looks like Hillend isnt open until the end of the month so maybe one for later in the year.

+1 for the site at Port Eynon. We were there a couple of years ago and can highly recommend.

We also went to this place a few years ago and can recommend. Very handy for beach/pub/chippy etc.

Thanks for the advice. Port Eynon booked for later this week.

Enjoy!!

Arrived at Pory Eynon, I have the lower field completely to myself.
Not a bad view from the van

Hope you're wearing your dry robe??

This looks like a great site, any more pics?

My new day van should be ready by the end of April and we are looking at a road trip to Wales and then up to Scotland in early May.

No more pics of the site, it is in a great location. If you want elec then those pitches are further back from the coast. Showers and toilets are excellent. Ship Inn is nearby (good food) and there is also a chippy but it was shut.
Behind the site is a headland and the coast path runs through it, here a few pics, all taken close to the site

Culver hole. Love that and brings back so many childhood memories

Looks epic, added to the Google maps ‘places to visit’.
