 Just got home from a six-night stay at Pitton Cross. This is a wonderful campsite for tenters in a fantastic location. All sites are level, individually marked out, generously sized and are surrounded by high banks and hedges to give shelter from the wind. In mid-June it was very quiet Mon to Thur and then got really busy at the weekend as you’d expect.
The owners are very welcoming, hard-working and always on hand to help out with any queries. Their attitude is very relaxed. The facilities are good, well laid-out and hot water is usually abundant.
The only criticism is that the shower block (the mens' at any rate) is in need of an upgrade; it is starting to look a little tired and in need of some refurbishment to make it easier to keep spotless. As a previous reviewer has said, it would be a really top class site given such an improvement.
The location is magnificent, especially if, like us, you get the weather to appreciate it. And the food and welcome at the local pub in Rhossili is excellent.

Stayed here in may, weather was foul but we still had a great time, mostly in part due to the stunning beaches and scenery nearby. The campsite is a good basic site. We had EHU and a nice quiet field, although the pitches were individually marked out, and were all flat. It did rain heavily and the field did get a bit soggy, but as I said the weather was abysmal.
The owners were very accomodating and allowed us to camp virtually where we wanted and if we had any queries / problems they were usually on hand to help / assist.
The shop stocks enough basic supplies for a weekend and a few other bits of food, meats and barbie stuff etc. Certainly enough to get by on if you didnt bring enough of your own supplies. There is also a good shop a mile or so down the road. They also have some camping extras, pegs etc (very handy in a gale) and gas exchange.
There are ample washing/shower facilities and the water is always hot and was free. This is where my minor gripes would be. The shower block was always clean and well looked after, however it was a little dated and if this aspect of the site was addressed it would be a top class site.
Overall though it was good site and I will definitely return

Just returned from a week on this site with mixed feelings. The position is superb, very close to Rhossili and Worms Head and in easy driving of Three Cliffs Bay, Swansea, The Mumbles etc. Plenty of places to visit to fill a week. We had very good weather for the time of year which was a nice bonus.
The site owners seemed pleasant and helpful and the shop had a reasonable selection of essentials considering this is early in the season and so turnover would be modest.
However one got the feel that the owners only did the bare minimum to make the site 'acceptable'. The pitches were rough with lots of evidence of moles, the area around the recycling bins was heavily rutted and yet no attempt seemed to have been made to make the ground good.
Worse, however, was the hygiene in the washrooms. Whilst soap and toilet paper were kept topped up there seemed a major lack of proper cleaning. We arrived during dry weather. However the floor was heavily soiled from muddy footprints, it was littered with scraps of paper, sweet wrappers etc and these were all there for the next six days.
Eventually a cursory sweeping took place which removed some of the offending rubbish but in particular the shower floor and soap dishes were still littered with three discarded elostoplasts as well as numerous bits of material, broken pieces of soap etc. It really didn't make the experience of showering a very pleasant one.
There was also no mop or bucket for visitors to wipe out the showers after use in the mens bathroom whilst the ladies did have a bucket but again the water got more and more dirty throughout the week and didn't appear to have been replaced.
A great shame as only a modest amount of extra effort would make all the difference. This site is not cheap. Rates are not dissimilar to the two main Clubs where cleanliness and attention to detail are paramount.

We were disappointed with this site. We arrived on a damp day, and of course it has not been a brilliant summer, however the pitches were in poor condition, and I don't think it was just the weathers fault! Our pitch had large holes in the ground, it rendered over half of our awning unusable. It looks like no money is invested on upkeep of the site itself, which is a shame as it isn't cheap to stay here.
First week was lovely and sunny, however during our second week we did have some rain. Our awning didn't leak, however it flooded, the water was just coming up from the holes in the ground! We have never been to a site like this. We arrived to long grass - it looked like it had not been cut for quite some time. It certainly wasn't cut during our 2 weeks there!
General consensus of 'neighbours' on the site was that money was not being spent on general upkeep of the site. There is a dishwashing room - bare wires near the ceiling! Everywhere had a distinct DIY look about it.
Showers were the annoying push button type which stayed on only for a few seconds, so you have to keep pressing the button continuously.
The owner lives next door and is having a huge extension built to his house, it didn't make for a peaceful holiday with all the hammering and banging that went on throughout the day!Maybe next year they will spend some money on improving the pitches! Value for money? No.

Our third visit to this lovely site. Keep coming back because owners are helpful and friendly but unobtrusive. Fields are flat, plenty of space, never seems crowded even when full. Ladies washing/showers excellent (my husband hopes men's might be enlarged soon) and loads of hot water for these and the washing -up. Laundry and baby room. Children seem to love to congregate and play in the play area. Nice and quiet, with polite notices asking everyone to be quiet later at night (family field has an 8p.M. Request for quiet). Shop big enough for basic needs and great for kiting enthusiasts. Local shopping not great, but little price to pay for the peace and beauty of the Gower.
Local beach (Mewslade) can be a bit of a trek with your beach kit, but can be much shortened if you drive just down the road to next hamlet where there is a lovely honesty box car park and a shorter walk to this beautiful beach.
Good grub at the hotel at Rhossili with stunning views of the beach and Worms Head. So many lovely views and beaches on the Gower it's hard to choose!

Stayed here the only warm and dry weekend in June. It was our first camping trip and we were very pleased by the facilities
Toilets, showers, washing up areas were clean, no token or payment required, showers were push button operated.
Tents were well spaced around large level field with huge open area in the middle. Kids loved this. Noise was not a major problem. Rowdy group were reminded by fellow camper of the time around 11pm and it settled very quickly
Walk to beach is more than 20 mins if kids are with you and buggys would struggle, did see a few though.
Once there well worth it. Mewslade beach is sandy and shallow.
Quite isolated but shop has everything you need.
Will revisit soon, as it is a very quiet and tranquil site without clubhouse.
Might try a site nearer the beach next.

I stayed here in June with a large party -- four large tents, two small, one camper van (with electric hook-up), 19 people in total. They were very helpful and friendly in finding us space all together in a corner, and allowed us to go in the dog-free area even though we had two dogs (which fortunately behaved well). It was good having so much space, and being on grass rather than gravel or concrete.
My only small complaint is that the men's shower cubicle I was in had two sticking plasters in the drain -- obviously it hadn't been cleaned that day! It's a bit of a hike to the showers, but I'd rather that than have extra shower blocks and more paved roads.
We all loved the shop -- what an amazing selection of stuff!
All things considered, we loved this site.

We stayed at this campsite recently and found they had excellent facilities which were always kept clean. The pitches were very large for our two man tents. Unfortunately we were not made aware that when we took our cars out for the day someone would be camping on our 'park space' when we returned. Refunds were refused and we just had to make do with some free ice cream. Seems they saw the space and gave it away regardless of the fact they had seen us there the day before with our two booked pitches. But despite that the campsite was good, and the views were lovely with plenty of space on site to play frisbee. Perhaps a minor downside that music isnt allowed at any time of day, but we coped!

Came here after late May Bank Holiday. It was £19.95 for the van and elec - didn't matter how many were in it.
Ladies showers and toilets fine - lack of space in mens - my son said all his clothes got wet as no hooks.
Shop quite strange - lots of gifts, papers, milk etc but no bread - I saw a few rolls, and no tea bags - so lots of presents but not many sustainables.
Walks good from site. Site fine - play area not up to much.
The walk to the beach is a long way down lots of zig zaggy paths - the walk back up is not for those with walking difficulties or many buggies etc. It really is a pain - beach gorgeous but you have to drive to the carpark and pay to park.
We only did that walk once and then went to Porth Eynon to have a look there - well there there is a campsite right next to the beach. Then we went to Llangennith and there's Hillend right next to the beach and I was told on the forum here that they only take tents but they do take motorhomes and campervans but there's no electricity. Again you are right next to the beach so next time we will be going somewhere else as I am not into traipsing miles with all the wetsuits etc.
Also it should be noted that there is no shop of any substance around this area - the nearest co-op is in Killay which is a good 20 mins drive away. Scurlage has a minimart place which is ok and there are small shops in the other villages. I was amazed at how isolated the Gower is - we are used to going to rural areas - we go to Cornwall every year but there are shops in St Just - a co-op even! If you know the Lleyn peninsula - well it is a lot more isolated than there. Not a lot to do if it's wet either - you would have to go to Swansea.
Having said alll that we will go back but to a campsite which is level with the beach!

We spent 3 nights over half term here returning after some years and had a wonderful time. The shop is much improved with coffee and tea available much needed for a wet morning aftera night in a tent I remember! The park has moved and although basic my children loved meeting up with friends they had met there. The showers and toilets were clean with plenty of hot water, the pitches were lovely with plenty of space and no one in front of you loads of space for the kids to play. My 16 year old and I walked to the beach from the site,( the bigger beaches are a drive away but not far and worth it) Lovely walk to a very small cove great for an early evening fire. Lovely owners. Counting the days til we can return.
