There are good sites at St. Davids, (awesome surf), and at Newgale. The one at Newgale is within sight of a decent pub or 3, a surf shop and a few chippies etc. Great surf too. From there you can travel around to various other breaks at Fresh West, Tenby, Druidstown etc. Enjoy!

Llangenith near Rhosilli is good surf area but campsites are few, there is a caravan club site at Gowerton but its a fair drive to the beach.

The most popular surf area i know is Porthcawl but sites are commercial holiday parks e.g Trecco Bay and i dont know if they take tourers.

Surfed Llangenith with mates years ago, and it was good, but we stayed at one of my mate's house. No real good campsites there as such. Go west...the further west the better. Find any west facing beach and you'll get surf. Forgot to add Monorbier. Surf on low tide though, as the reefs on the turn there can be a killer! View of the old ruined castle from the line up is priceless though.

As Ffloydfan says Llangenith is a superb surfing beach along with many other beaches in Gower.The only campsite with pool is Bankfarm take a look at links

As for West Wales try this

What about Whitesands near St Davids? Good beach, beach shop/cafe with surf times and lifeguards. Not sure about where the campsites are though
