 Excellent couple of days here - friendly people - plenty of places to camp - you don't even need a tent - the owner is happy for you to swing a hammock between two trees if that's what you want.
Toilets, showers, couldn't be cleaner. Kitchen area with sink, hot water, microwave and fridge. Plenty of electric hook up points 'don't worry about a lead, we've got plenty - park wherever you like, we'll get electric to you' was the owners response. You can camp (no vehicles) in the woodland beside the river which is very peaceful) if you wish.
He only takes about 35 people here, despite being a huge place, so book ahead, as he was full for august when we were there. What a lovely peaceful haven with leisure centre nearby, large tescos 10 minutes away, and surrounded by loads of lovely waterfalls. Herons on the pond in the mornings, ducks wandering around freely. Loud music not allowed, nice peaceful break.

What a Fantastic Campsite! Just got back from a weeks stay there with a group of friends and we all had everything that we needed! in our group was a mixture of small campervan, touring tent and smaller hiking tents too.
The location is perfect, less than an hours drive to The Gower and same up to Brecon Beacons, 10mins drive to Neath and large shops but yet the farm is in a quiet valley, not overlooked. The lane up to the farm is a bit tricky, I was in a VW T4 and it felt a little tight on occasions, but Ian's directions on the website give plenty of advice!
Facilities wise there are 3 main fields set aside for camping, with the lower one being flatter and more suitable for caravans and campervans. There is also the wooded area for those who want to try wild camping by the river. Might give this a go next time.
The Kitchen / shower block area is basic but well maintained and in a clean condition. There are a number of clean portaloos around the site in case you get caught short in the night!
Overall the site is perfect for a nice quiet break away from it all, though not really suited for young children, and Ian & Family with Ted make the perfect hosts and guides to the area! We will be back again, though in a smaller group!

Just got back from a wonderful week long stay here with husband and two friends. Very friendly and helpful site.
We camped in the woods, which I would recommend as you get great views and peace and quiet. We had camp fires and bought the logs from Ian and collected the kindling from the forest floor.
The actual camping field looked good too, but is not as peaceful as the woods as you can hear some road noise in the early morning.
I used a small folding barrow to move stuff from the car to our pitch as it was a bit of a trek. Useful for bringing back water too.
Lots of wildlife including bats, toads, butterflies, swallows, swifts, rabbits and a very sweet baby common lizard.
Plenty of shops in nearby Neath for supplies.
Walked down to Aberdulais Falls (NT) for an interesting visit.
Wonderful waterfall walks a short drive away. We started at Pontneddfechan where there is a good information centre and also the Angel pub which does good food.
Also went further into the Brecon Beacons another day and walked up Corn Du and Pen y Fan. Fabulous views all round.
We would highly recommend this site especially if you like no frills away from it all camping.

We spent 4 wonderful days here at the end of July. Ian warned us on the phone that the conditions were extremely wet and waterlogged with more rain forecast - but we weren't put off and very glad too!
A really friendly site right in the wilds, fantastic scenery, fires no problem and both ian and Ted were very helpful and couldn't do enough to ensure that everyone got the best out of their stay on the site. Would definitely go again

Just got back from a two break at this campsite. It is such a good campsite - Ian and Ted are friendly and helpful. We had a field to ourselves for most of the time. Ian has tried to provide everything you might need - the kitchen facilities (microwave and kettle) were useful, especially when we ran out of gas on the last night!
The shower and wash rooms are designed so that a family can use them - very useful with our baby. It was ace being able to have a fire (one of the main reasons we chose the site). Brecon Beacons and the Gower (both stunning) are under an hours drive away. There are fabulous waterfall walks nearby.

We've just come back from this site after a stay at Easter. 2 adults 2 children 3 and 7.
When we arrived field was waterlogged but Ian kindly towed the tent on to the field for us. Ted very friendly and always around for a chat or advice. Despite being Easter site still nice and quiet, everyone in bed early, everybody respected the no noise request. Site has one main toilet block (1 male, 1 female) washroom and shower there are 2 additional toilets (portaloos) next to utility area and an additional shower. Site is green in all meanings of the word, not on mains water/ sewarage (they have their own bore hole and sceptic tank) and on the end of the electricity line, not enough electricity to run the two showers at the same time, unless its been sunny.
Animals very friendly , the ducks seem to know when you have food and come calling, they loved salt and vinegar pringles! Also resident cats come for some attention, and we were lucky as some lambs were born while we were there.
Went for a walk in the 'wild' camping area which looked lovely if not very muddy at this time of year.
Most people had camp fires every night so not a site to go to if you don't like smoke everywhere. Also lovely view of the stars, on a cold clear night!
Initially we did wonder if Children would be welcome on the site, after reading the campsite web page. But our children loved the site and can't wait to go back there again.
It all depends what type of family you are, for those that need their children entertained this is not the site for you, for those that love nature peace and quiet perfect family site.

We decided to go for some quiet seclusion for our first wedding anniversary and found the woodland at Lone Wolf perfect! Ian and Ted pointed us in the right direction for pitching and left us to it, ideal!
It's a bit of a trek down into the woodland with all the camping kit but all worth it for a truly secluded setting.
We had probably the worst imaginable weather but made the most of it in true back to basics fashion! We spent our days collecting fire wood, snuggling up around the fire underneath our tarpaulin and exploring the woodland during the infrequent dry spells! On trips back up to the campsite, for toilet and shower facilities, we were always greeted by owner Ian or his helper Ted with 'Oh, you're still here then!? We were sure you'd have bailed out by now!'.Yes, the weather was that bad!
Despite the torrents of water carried by the river through the woodland, we weren't threatened by it breaking it's banks but were mindful to keep an eye on the dog for fear of her being swept away!
Day trips to Mumbles beach, Margam castle and the nearby Aberdulais Falls, all good walks enjoyed by the two of us, and our dog.
Local shop is around a mile's walk into Aberdulais village, very convenient for milk and bread or Tesco in Neath around 5 miles away for BBQ essentials etc.
Huge thanks to Ian and Ted for making us feel welcome and arranging one sunny day on our final day!

We stayed at Glyn Y Mul farm for a week. The great British weather wasn't brilliant but the site, the views and the hospitality more than made up for it.
We had a fantastic week, were made to feel so welcome and were both genuinely sad to have to leave. My only complaint is that we don't have the time to go back until next year! But we will definitely return.
The site is perfect if you want to retreat from noisy busy everyday life but don't want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere, everything you need is no more than a short drive away.
The site itself has a kitchen area with hot water, kettle, microwave, fridge, there are 2 showers (with the rare luxury of 'on/off' buttons for constant water so you don't have to stand holding a button in with one hand while washing with the other like you do on most sites!), flushing toilets and several portaloos around the site. All of the facilities are kept clean.
There are ducks and a couple of domestic cats resident on the site giving it real charm and appeal and a beautiful woodland you can camp in if 'back to basics' is your thing. We're self-confessed lightweight campers and stayed on the camping field with electric hook-up but we did explore the woodland and the stunning Dulais river that runs through it.
It only remains to say that next year can't come quick enough. Many thanks to Ian and Ted for making our stay so enjoyable. Top marks to you both. See you next year.

Spent one night here at the end of June. We stayed across the (quiet) railway track in the woods by the river, which was fantastic. It's a bit of a trek back if you need a shower or the loo, but a lovely sense of being out there.
There is a more conventional camping field there too.
A quiet, beautiful site with basic, but clean facilities, and really helpful owners.
It's on our list of sites to go back to, - I'd definitely recommend it, particularly if you want to give 'wild' camping a go, with civilisation not too far away!

A lovely laid back campsite (their website is very good at explaining the whole set up so I won't attempt to!), Ian, the owner, is a great bloke and very helpful.
We went for the 'back to basics' camping down in the woods by the river and experienced possibly the worst 2 days & nights of rain that I have seen this year! (well it felt like that at the time!) Luckily our back to basics instincts kicked in and tarpaulin was rigged, camp fires built and we all managed to stay dryer than expected!
My son loved it, never has so much whittling been done, the dogs loved it and we loved it, we're booking to go back in September!
