Hi Shab, welcome to the site. Click on the 'Campsite Search' button at the top of the page and put Swansea in the search. There are a number of sites on the Gower but don't know of one with swimming pool etc but maybe someone knows better than I. On the edge of Swansea at Morriston right on J45 M4 there is Riverside, this has children's play area, swimming pool as well as large club house with bar etc. It gets quite busy during school holiday time so do need to ring and book. You will find reviews by members on the Campsite page so you should be able to get a fair idea and find somewhere that suits. Best of luck Mick.

ps There is a ukcs meet at Llandovery for the weekend of the 12 of this month why don't you join us if you are within reach. Self and oh will be then going on to Riverside afterwards for a week.....Miick

This could be exactly what you`re looking for

We`re going in August so not been as yet but heard great reviews on it.

Riverside is a tip and resembles a tin and canvas rough council estate.

Llanrhidian is ok but was a bit tatty last time I looked in.

Bank farm is good.  Walking distance to the beach, indoor pool. low key club house, takaway and bar meals, small games room for kids. Superb views.

Just had 3 days in Bank Farm, very helpfull staff, port eynon ( 5 minute walk through Horton, steepish road down, but plenty of car parking available), is great for rock pooling, windsurfing, fishing. Local pub The ship, is a bit rough. Bar on site, large playing fields/area, and kids play area near bar, Pool is indoor/outdoor, water clean, but changing rooms, tiles etc were not at their best

overend

as a local to the area please dont touch riverside its the most unhealthy dirty place on the side of a motorway.

As jackie and steve said try bank farm and i promise you you will be happy with everything about the site and the pool

Bank farm is the only site on Gower with pool and close to some great safe beaches

Riverside is next to M4 and railway line at the northern end of swansea miles from Gower.

 Llanrhidian is statics only now I believe.

I second all replies about bank farm, it's an excellent site. 

If you are caravan & camping club members, they usually have a holiday meet at bank farm for a fortnight in August. I think it's hosted by the south or  west wales DA. The rally field has no electric hookups, but the cost to stay on the rally field is probably less than  half of what it costs to book with the site. Worth joining if you can do  without electric.
