Why stay here ...
An easy drive to the beautiful Gower Peninsula, Gowerton Club Campsite 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 Campsite 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 Campsite 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 Club Campsite has it all.

Excellent Clean Site
Gowerton Club Campsite
We stayed at Gowerton site for six nights and found it clean and a very pleasant place with excellent facilities and as we had two dogs the dog walk on site also very good.
The pitch we had was level and hard standing but if you like grass level site these were also available, there was plenty of choice available as we arrived on a Thursday.
The walk into Gowerton itself through the back gate was level and there is some history in the area which is very interesting.
The area around Rhossili is worth a visit and walk around the coast is good, also the area around Oxwich point can prove challenging just make sure you come down the steps in the wood to the beach as the signage is not too good.
All in all this excellent site provides a base to explore the beautiful Gower Peninsula.
Honest Review from a Family of 5
Gowerton Club Campsite
We stayed at Gowerton during the May half term / Jubilee week. 2 adults & 3 children, aged 5,7 & 9 years.
Train Noise - We stayed on pitch 18 near the children's play park. The train line runs behind the trees on that side of the site. I heard the train every 15 minutes or so. It seemed a fairly busy line, but after a few seconds the noise is over. I imagine the train noise would be minimal on the other side of the site.
The site was busy, but it was Jubilee half term. Lots of activity, but pitch was between the park & the dog walk.
Location - Close to town and all major shops. The Gower has many lovely beaches.
Toilet Block - Very clean & a good size. No waiting & site was full. However, the block is closed for cleaning 10:15-12.00. This is a long time & we found it quite inconvenient.
Bins - The recycling & waste bins are located at the front of the site. These are large industrial bins. There are no other bins on site. The service points have water etc, but just a sign saying take rubbish to the front. It seems illogical and inconvenient. Most people took their rubbish with them when leaving site in their cars. This then meant 2/3/4 cars all idling outside the exit whilst people jumped out to ditch their rubbish. Although, industrial in size, the site probably needs more. My hubby also put the dirty in with the recycling & ended up fishing it out! Not great.
Overall, very pleasant trip with a couple of niggles.
What very helpful wardens
Gowerton Club Campsite
My wife and I were booked in for three nights due to unforeseen circumstances we need to stay another night with the help of the wardens nothing was too much of a problem. The site was meticulously clean and tidy plenty of shops nearby so no need for a shop on site with Sony re-visit this site
Lovely site
Gowerton Club Campsite
We stayed here for 4 days. After I booked the site I read some of the reviews about staff, the railway line and the main road and I considered cancelling. I kept my booking and was so glad I did. The site is lovely and quiet, all of the staff were helpful, polite and friendly. The railway line is a small country line with a train slowly passing through occasionally and none during the night. I honestly didn't notice it. As for the main road, didn't hear it at all and I am a light sleeper. At home, although I live in a quiet area, I cannot sleep with the window open as the weather and nature keep me awake. We like to sleep with the window open in our Camper for ventilation. I slept like a log. Please do not let any negative comments change your mind about this site. It's lovely, we really enjoyed our stay, thank you.
new wardens, wow !
Gowerton Club Campsite
we are regulars to this site, it suits us. I read the recent reviews before we visited this year and I thought that they were a bit over the top, but no, we always thought the site was up to CMC standard but now it is the cleanest site we have been on. The auxillary toilets were never opened when cleaning the main block, but they are now. The only complaint I have with the site is the rubbish bins placed at the entrance , but they said that they would put forward my suggestions, however, this seems to be the way that the CMC are going now. As to the site, it's flat , it can flood but it drains quickly, there is a local railway that passes the site, make sure the CMC road directions are followed. It has a gate to some playing fields which is also a short cut to Tesco. Gowerton is a large village , Gorseinon is the next town for supermarkets. Of course there is the Gower and Swansea and plenty of things to see and do further afield.
