Camping at Greenways of Gower
FAQ for Camping
Everything you need to know before you pitch up — pitches, facilities, booking and check-in on the Gower Peninsula.
What size are the pitches / do you have designated pitches?
We run a traditional camping set-up across large open fields — there are no boundaries or designated pitches. A Standard Pitch suits a 2–3 man tent or a roof tent (max 2 people); anything bigger needs a Large Pitch. A Large Pitch suits a 3–4+ man tent, a campervan, or a trailer tent, and the price includes up to 2 adults + 3 children. See our tariff for current prices.
Do you accept motorhomes or touring caravans?
No — Greenways of Gower doesn't accept motorhomes or touring caravans, and we don't offer seasonal pitches. We're camping only: tents, short-wheelbase campervans, and trailer tents.
What views will I have from my pitch?
We have four spacious field areas, and from most areas you'll have a good view. The quiet field at the bottom has less of a view. The top fields have some outstanding views out across Oxwich Bay.
Will I be able to see my children play from my pitch?
The large grass play area is set apart from the camping field, which is kept as a quiet, tranquil area where guests can relax without games or cycling going on around them. If you'd prefer to watch your children play right by your tent, this site might not be the best fit for you.
Is the approach to the site narrow?
Not at all. There's no high density of traffic passing our site — it's 400 metres off the main through road, so no narrow, busy, winding country lanes to navigate.
Is there a shop nearby?
Yes — The Dunes Cafe and Shop, about a 5 minute walk down the hill.
How far is the nearest post box?
Located in The Dunes Cafe and Shop, just down the hill.
Does it get muddy?
Not really — our pitches are grass with tarmac roads running through the site.
Are dogs allowed?
Yes, well-behaved dogs are welcome (all breeds except those banned under the UK's Dangerous Dogs Act). Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times on the park, exercised off-site, and not allowed to foul the park.
Do you have showers?
Yes — an eco-friendly, modern shower block with hot water on demand and underfloor heating, at no extra charge. Coin-operated hairdryers are available in the ladies' shower room.
Will I have to queue to use the toilets/showers?
It's our policy not to overload the site, so you're highly unlikely to have to queue.
Is it far to walk to the toilets/showers?
Not really — between 12 and 120 metres depending on which part of the site you're on.
Is there a laundry?
Yes — laundry, ironing, and freezing facilities are available in the utility room.
Will there be problems with noise?
We're a quiet, relaxed site. Please be considerate of other guests, especially in the quiet fields.
Is there a play area?
Yes, next to the camping area — safe and secure with plenty of open grassy space. Children must be supervised at all times when using the playground.
Are you a family-only site? Do you take groups?
We're a families & couples site. Singles groups and large unrelated parties generally aren't accepted. Small, responsible adult groups may be considered by prior arrangement only. No unsupervised under-18s groups, and no stag or hen parties under any circumstances.
Is it quiet at night?
Yes. We advertise as a quiet site, and any disturbances or inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated.
How close are you to the beach?
The nearest beach is approximately 1.5 miles away.
How far is the nearest pub / bar food?
About 10 minutes down the road is the Oxwich Bay Hotel and a beach restaurant — walking distance for most people.
Are there any taxis?
Plenty, and reasonably priced.
Can I bring a boat?
Yes, we're a water sport friendly site. Prior notice is required, and a boat parking fee applies — see our tariff for small boat/jetski and large boat & trailer prices.
Is there indoor pot washing for campers?
Yes, with free hot water.
Can I charge my phone?
Yes, just ask.
Can I re-freeze icepacks?
Yes — freezing facilities are available free of charge in the utility room.
Is there a cash point nearby?
There's no cash point on site, but reception can provide cashback (minimum £10, subject to availability).
What is the arrival and departure time?
Arrivals are from 1pm. Departures are by 12 noon. No refunds are given for early departure.
Are BBQs and campfires allowed?
BBQs and raised fire pits are allowed, but must be kept off the ground (fire pits aren't permitted on bank holiday weekends). Open/ground fires are never permitted, for health and safety reasons.
Is the site secure?
Yes — electronic barrier access, 24-hour CCTV, and our manager lives on site.
How do I check in?
We use self check-in: find your barrier access card in the box at reception, then head to the camping field following the signs and pitch wherever you like (please watch for “quiet field” signage). Check-out is 12 noon. Contact the park manager on 01792 391203 with any questions.
What payment do you take - do I need to pay a deposit?
We take full payment at the time of booking.
