What visitors say

⭐⭐⭐☆☆ Stayed here while visiting Cardiff and found it to be a practical base rather than a destination in itself. The campsite is a little dated and could do with some modernisation, but it was clean enough and had the facilities needed for a short stay. The biggest positive is the location. It’s easy to get into Cardiff city centre, making it a convenient option if you’re planning to spend most of your time exploring the city rather than on the campsite. Overall, not the fanciest site we’ve stayed on, but it served its purpose and provided a handy place to stay while enjoying Cardiff. Follow our adventures: @daddyslittlelunchbox 🚐🏕️🌆 :

Beautiful campsite, has everything you would need. Fabulous walks along the river, cycle paths everywhere, they even have cinema pods 😊 You can walk right into the city from the campsite. Would definitely recommend it.

Lovely position, pretty woodland and great staff, BUT the shower block a disgrace, so bad I have emailed council CEO, I didn’t use the shower, made me feel a bit sick. Checks and cleaning signed but not done. Rotten bench seating. This all needs to be sorted, the site must make plenty to reinvest. Probably full solely due to location

Communication for booking was good. Location is excellent for getting to and from Cardiff city centre. Lovely parks and cycle paths close by. The site itself is a let down! Shower/toilet blocks are dated and dirty. Don’t think they were cleaned the whole time we were there! There’s a polite notice asking users to mop shower after use but the water in the mop bucket was dirty!!! There was a blocked toilet for 2 days-the toilets had been signed that they were checked so should have been made ‘Out of order’. Take away all of the ‘tat & jigsaws’ which are only harbouring more germs!!!! Requires a total refurb. We asked for a later checkout so that we could go into Pontcanna for some brunch in one of the local restaurants but unfortunately were only offered an hour so was no use to us. At £38 per night, the cost is up there with some of the more expensive Caravan & motorhome club sites and their facilities are immaculate. I would expect better as a council run site as it’s representing the city and tourism in Cardiff. Such a shame because it could be a fantastic site.
