 We've been here several times always in the school holidays - it's been busy particularly at weekends but is never overcrowded. Toilet & shower blocks are kept very keen. We are a family with a young child, but choose to stay in either fields 1 or 2, rather than the family fields 3 & 4. This is because we find the family fields nosier than the standard fields ( generally the parents not the kids!) location is superb and probably unbeatable in the UK - right on the edge of the most beautiful Rhosilli Beach. Surfing & body boarding is the most popular activities but there are also loads of walks from your doorstop, the coastal path is easily accessible, with fab views.
There is an excellent shop on site which is well stocked, reasonably priced and open long hours. Also Eddys cafe is on site which is also fine, but would be better if open longer in the evening. Staff at the site were friendly and made the campsite very secure. They picked up quickly on any breaches of site rules eg campers playing any form of music after 10 pm, open fires etc
Excellent play area for kids with a small football pitch & additional fields where they can also play freely with out disturbing others
Highly recommended

This site has everything you could wish for. Excellent facilities and located in a beautiful part of the country.
We stayed over for a few days and all was fine until the Friday evening. The site rapidly filled up and at one point people were almost coming to blows in their haste to grab a pitch. Suggest this is marshalled at busy times.
On the fact sheet you are given it mentions keeping noise to a minimum after 2200. The areas would also be patrolled by security. Well at 0100 there were several parties making a fair old racket with no sign of them being told to shut it. Bottom of field one and two.
The site has a close location to the beach and sand dunes. Obviously when the weather is fine people head to the dunes to barbecue and have a few beers. Unfortunately these clowns are too lazy to bring empties back with them. In some dunes old barbecues are left and bottles broken. Lethal if the sand gets blown over them and you think the sand is clear.
Either some signs going to the beach about litter would be appropriate or someone from the campsite has a clear up in the morning.
Sorry to have more negatives than positives. However it would take very little effort to put these right.

Wow what a location for a campsite ! Stunning !
We actually found this place by mistake ! (Turned up at our pre-booked caravan club site too early & got turned away -(surprise surprise) so we decided to have a drive around the Gower) driving a large Motorhome the roads got narrower & narrower with no place to turn around when we suddenly came over the brow of the hill and saw this site ! The dunes ! The beach ! The sea ! Heaven !
The site has very good large & clean toilet / showers a laundry and a shop & cafe on site
There are 4 camping fields and a small section with 6 electric hookups should you need it
Just a short walk over the dunes and your on one of the cleanest large beaches in the uk ! We did manage to pick up a TV signal but no phone signal bliss ! Well recommended

Just back from our first stay at Hill End campsite. Enjoyed three nights here, and can't wait to return. We were two Moms with two teenagers and an eight year old, staying in two tents which we pitched side by side on field 4. Very friendly staff and fellow campers, shower block and toilets clean and never had to queue despite campsite being full. Excellent washing up areas with constant hot water. Eddy's Diner was great, lovely views and excellent food, served until 7. 00pm and takeaway open later. Fantastic location, views of the sand dunes, and surrounding hills, glorious sunsets over the sea. As previous reviewers have said, it was very windy at night, but when you camp so close to the sea that always seems to be the case. Felt very safe on the site, we all loved it!

We just stayed for two nights as our first family camping trip and had a lovely time.
It was a great site for families and our children (3 and 5) spent a long time in the fantastic wooden play park. It was quiet at night in spite of large numbers of people.
The cafe was great and a life saver to feed the children when we arrived. It has fantastic views. The food was reasonable but it does close at 6pm which is a shame.
The showers and toilets were quite a walk from our pitch but were plentiful and always clean in spite of the site being very busy.
Our only downside was that there had been quite a lot of rain before our arrival and the family area in the lower two fields where we were told to pitch was waterlogged. However, I think this was unusual as it had dried out considerably by the time we left.
If we were in the area we would definitely go back again.

Been going to this site for 15 years.
2 Family and 2 Couples Fields (No pre Bookings Taken). Recently had approx 6 Hook Ups added for Motorhomes I believe they are £5. 00 a Day. If you have a really big motorhome the entrance road for the last 100m or so is a little tight.
Really close to the Beach, Lots to Walk, Surf See and Do. Kids Play area with wooden climbing frames.
Facilities really tidy but can get busy at peak season, Washing machines and Dryers behind restaurant.
Nice restaurant with sea View only problem here is it closes early 18:00 approx, Nearest Pub is up the road, Shop on site that sells good selection of food and Toys & Beer. Enjoy.

Gelert Rocky 4 man & Outwell Jersey 2 man tent
We were looking for a site and just drove to the end of the Gower and spotted fields full of tents - Hillend.
They don't take bookings and the whole site has a very free spirit about it, easy going and all in it together. Families in one field and the rest in the others.
Just pick a spot and pitch your tent - simple yes? Not at the end of the Gower. The wind was relentless and we ended up having to use our windbreaks and car just to give the tents a reprieve.
The toilets and showers were plentiful and clean and the on site restaurant was good value and very welcome shelter on our 1st evening.
The beach is beautiful, enormous and the kids had great fun in the massive dunes, but as all the windsurfers and kite surfers reminded us they were here for one thing - the wind.
A lovely site, great value and in a beautiful part of the world and if you could guarantee a windless week we would go back.

This is a popular and busy site, where camping is in 4 fields, which are separated into families, couples, young people.
We camped here for 3 nights. We would have stayed longer but it rained and rained!
What we liked.
The site is next to the beach (sandy but windy too).
There are lots of easy and picturesque walks, which were suitable for our 5 year old.
The site is very well maintained-litter free and had consistently super clean showers and toilet. I never had to wait for the shower.
The staff are friendly and there is a very well stocked shop.
There is a cafe on site, good for lunch or an early supper.
Downside the cafe closed at 5:45pm, it would have been a nice place to sit and drink wine later.
It was a bit of a walk to the showers but as they were so clean who can complain about that!
Would be even better if they froze your ice packs for cool boxes.

Great site with everything you need. Focus is on surfing and not much else.
Clean tidy facilities. Cant fault them.
Take away and cafe provide good quality well priced food. Shop stocks all you need, but no surprise it was a little more expensive than Tescos.
Big plus for my family was no dogs.
I will be visiting again.

I have been coming here for almost 40 years, it is a little piece of paradise. In the early years it represented a perfect site - limited facilities and an anything goes attitude from the staff. It was a surfers site through and through.
Over the years the site has matured, as have we. And each time new (and always top quality) facilities are added we mourn the loss of this 'true' campsite, however having visited again last weekend it actually feels great, the staff friendly, the atmosphere still fabulous. It still works despite the mod cons.
Please note - This is a campsite providing sleeping accommodation for surfers and sports people, who will probably want to party after a hard day in the surf, if you are offended by the noise of young people having fun into the early hours then please go somewhere else, and help to keep this place very very special. I am too old to party with the kids, but the sound of their fun reinforces my faith in the youth of today.
