 Great location! and great campers! This site has poor facilities and lack of hygiene but it doesn't really matter because the type of campers that go there, there great! Unfortunately the owners and staff are a different matter! Rude, horrible, just plain nasty people, I am 18 and went with a small group (5) of other 18 year olds and by no means are we trouble makers or loud and rude! but the staff there made us feel like we had asbo's! Threatening us physically when we asked to see the owner after being charged twice for there logging in error! and even telling us to get back to our tents when visiting the loo in the early hours of the morning! - This site's location and the people who visit it are really great, but the staff really do let it down, which is such a shame. If you are under 21 be prepared no matter how nice and patient and polite you are.!

Shower blocks upgraded at last! 8 showers for each sex, outside showers for wet-suited bods, hot water wash-up sinks under cover.
All nicely decorated and clean. Showers barely lukewarm, but it was bank holiday, and a new facility-- hope they can address this problem.
Love the site, as have been coming here twice a year for years! Great beach and walks, Eddies cafe serves good food at good prices. Friendly atmosphere on site, and nice play area for kids where they all join in and don't seem to have any trouble.
My only real gripe is with a minority of campers who are-- to put it politely-DIRTY. Leaving litter, and broken bottles in the toilets.
It really bugs me that people can't treat things well, especially as the site have at last given us decent facilities.
Having got that said, we will continue to come to the site, wish they would take bookings though, as I would hate to drive for 3 hours to be turned away. Hasn't happened yet, but nearly did 2 years ago, had to plead to get in!

What a transformation NEW TOILET BLOCK and a NEW SHOWER BLOCK This has to be one of the best sites around now .Flat fields, New dish wash, With hot water .Out door showers for wet suit users. Walks that will take your breath away and the best place to watch the sun set, Sitting on top of a sand dune with 3 miles of sand in front of you. You have to watch the hang gliders take off from rhossili Down The Cafe on site served great Food fast even when it was busy. And I must say the toilets and showers were kept spotless all day. They even supply toilet roll now. The on site shop was well stocked and fair priced.The staff were helpful and nice. I will return

The best camp site I have ever stayed on in UK, simply because of its location, lack of tacky facilities, and the spirit of the campers that go there. I have been going since 12 years old and generally go a couple of times a years. The facilities are crude but perfect for the site, anything better would attract the wrong type of camper. The only negative are the people that run it, unbelievable! The lady on the gate last year threatened to throw me off the site, because I was struggling to find my receipt in my wallet during a severe downpour, and I'm a 50 yr old professional! I could tell similar stories of client abuse from almost every visit, either of us or of others, appalling complacency.

The campers at Hillend are great, fun and nice people, Site is split into 2 groups (Family's and groups) and everybody got on. The owners are a different matter, if you are below 20 be prepered for a hostile reception no matter how polite and patient you are with them. Even charged us twice because they didnt do our book in on arrival properly. Made us feel uncomfortable for being young. Great location, Great campers, Horrible owners and staff.

What a fabulous location. The Gower is really beutiful and the beach is superb at Llangenith.
Unfortunately the campsite was appalling and the price they charged was extortionate (£30 for two nights for just myself with a little tent). The toilet facilities are like something from the middle ages, grotty and very basic. They do not even supply toilet roll or anything to wash your hands with.
A real goldmine for the owners due to the location, and a real shame they did not seem to care about their customers.

SUPER!!!!!!!
Me and my family keep coming back to this camp site. we think it is brilliant.
The beach is AMAZING (and it is only a few minuites walk over some loverly dunes too) and the site is nice. there is a nice shop and cafe. We recomend it to all BUT bring your own toilet roll because there is not all ways some there.

Brilliant site!!!!!! Great beach, great dunes, great location, great ppl
This campsite has a great friendly atmosphere and is a great place to stay for a few nights. Shop on site a swell as cafe .Showering facilities could do with some improvement but then again there weren't big queues for them. Best thing to do there is watch the sunset on the dunes it is just magical

Lovely beach which is only a short walk away, but spoilt by the beer cans laying around. The campsite facilities are below average, no toilet roll and basic with no character
The only positive comments are about the beach, which is why this campsite does well and does not have to make any effort and the kids play area, which is quite good.
I did hope this would be a nice site as we only live 40mins away, but won't be going back.

Hillend is a vibing site! There are two fields for the young and single and two for families. We went twice this summer and camped in the furthest family field - a bit of a trek to shower block.
Actually the aforementioned block is totally inadequate. Four showers for LOTS of campers and extremely dirty they were too! Rumours were circulating that this was to be remedied for 2005 - I hope so because other than this we love it here.
The surrounding views vary from mountainous to an almost North African dune landscape and there are dreamy views of the Worm's Head from Eddies restaurant . The restaurant serves great food at reasonable prices and the service is amazing - by that I mean 5 minutes after ordering we received four excellent cooked breakfasts - with chips of course!
The staff are almost exclusively young surfers and lovely they are too! There's a good shop and a takeaway.
Site fills up by Friday 2.00p.m on summery weekends and they won't take bookings - so arrive early to avoid disappointment.
