 We've just returned from our second visit to Nicholaston and can't recommend it enough.
The owner and staff are friendly and helpful and available 24 hours. The 2 wash blocks are well maintained and cleaned regularly. There is plenty of room in the on site fridges and freezer which is in the same room as the wash-up facilities. The site cafe and farm shop are handy for basics (and a bacon sarnie!) and reasonably priced. The nearest supermarkets are in Swansea, approx 30-45min drive away depending on traffic. We ate a couple of times in the local Gower Arms pub which was good value and quality but therefore very busy! There is a good fish and chip shop 10 mins away as well.
As it was the school holidays the campsite was full but didn't feel overcrowded with plenty of room around the pitches. Noise levels at night varied but generally it was quiet by 11pm. Some traffic noise from the nearby main road but it didn't really bother us.
This time we camped in the lower of the 2 fields with tent EHU pitches which made a difference when climbing the steep hill back from the stunning beach! The wide beach is shallow sloping sand (ideal for our 7 year old) and very clean with a couple of small cafes/shops at the far end.
On our last day it rained so we headed off to Mumbles (approx 20min drive) and explored the pier, shops and amusement arcades. Unfortunately it was too wet to go crabbing but this is apparently a good spot! Last time we stayed the weather was very wet so we made use of the cinema in Swansea and there is a local heritage centre that hosts events throughout the year. This time the weather was brilliant so we headed to the beach daily and visited nearby award-winning Rossili Bay too. Rossili was busy but so big it didn't feel crowded. Again a fairly steep path to access the beach with shops, cafes & toilets available at the top of the climb.
If there's anything we would change it would be having a toilet available at the beach :)

Very friendly staff, very busy packed site but never bothered by any noise. Shower facilities were excellent, WC, shower and basin in one place, your own little bathroom. Bacon sandwich from cafe was lovely, lovely fresh bread and wonderful bacon. Fantastic beaches, access steep on way back to site.

Lovely site with stunning views looking over the bay. Toilet and showers are well kept and even at height of the season are regularly cleaned. Showers cost 20p for 4 minutes which stops people staying in them for ages and keeps the queues down.
There is a walk down to the beach through the trees and sand dunes which could cause a problem for anyone with walking difficulties but you can drive to a car park at the far end of the bay
Cafe and farm shop provide food supplies and breakfast plus you can pick your own fruit when in season.
An excellent site which we would love to go to again

We found this gem of a campsite in the Guardians top 5 on the Gower. Wonderfully immaculate facilities, use of industrial size fridges and freezers. Great cafe with local produce for sale on site where we camped out for half a day due to rain - well it was Wales. Fantastic beach just down the slope from the campsite, local information available eg bus time tables, places to eat etc. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very welcome and it was not just us. On day two of our stay 4 Chinese students turned up with no camping equipment and the owners went out of their way to find them a tent and sleeping bags for them to use.

Beautiful site. Extremely well set out and the facilities are fantastic. Wash rooms kept clean and tidy, these are individual rooms with toilet basin and shower. Yes showers are 20p for 4 minutes but this is a good idea as it makes people get a move on 😊 Big fridges and freezers for you to use. Brilliant washing up room and even a laundry room.
This campsite is well worth a visit. Can honestly say only downside was that there are few shops local so you need to plan well if camping. Onsite cafe is very good.
Very friendly staff- battery died on our car and they helped immediately sending someone out with a charger.
Walk straight out onto Gower coastal path for fab views or down steps to beach. Steep walk back up though.
Great site which is often fully booked. So do what we did book very early 👍

Lovely site. Good facilities and really friendly atmosphere. There's plenty of choice in the camping fields (if you don't need electrical hookup). And the on site cafe is a real bonus for the odd meal - although not cheap for a family of five like us.
But it's the location that makes it so special. The short walk down to the beach is really nice, and the beach is superb - one of the best in the UK for sure.
It was our first time camping on the Gower but we'll definitely be back. There's lots to do and see but without the crowds. The beaches are of almost unbelievable quality.

Excellent campsite with excellent facilities. The toilet and shower block has to be one of the best I've seen and this can make a lot of difference to a holiday. The added bonus of a laundry area and fridge and freezers was a welcome bonus. The site is well positioned in the Gower and with the right pitch you have a very impressive view of Oxwich bay. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the site is secure with a key operated entry barrier into the main field. It also has a small café and shop which was also very good. Our friends with a caravan did say the entry and exit into the site can be a little tricky but this can be overcome with a friend guiding you out. The only issue we had was the ground was a little stony to put tent pegs in but this was easy to deal with.

This is a lovely lovely site. We were greeted by a cheery lady on Reception, who was very helpful. We were in the field for carravanners and tenters. There are about 25 pitches & you all have plenty of room around you, with a big green in the middle.
The washrooms and showers are immaculate. They have individual rooms, with a shower (20p for 4 minutes), toilet & basin.
You can walk to Oxwich beach from the site via a private gate.
Shops wise, we struggled a bit. There is a texaco garage about a two minute drive away, which will have everything you need, but we prefer local produce.
There are also drying rooms for wetsuits etc, huge freezers & a good modern washing up area (inside).
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this site to anyone. We will be going back in June for the PYO season.
Only negative is the £27pn, even in Sept. Just a tad expensive.

This is a lovely site on the equally lovely Gower Peninsula. The facilities are excellent; plentiful, very clean and smart, without the utilitarian style sometimes seen in Caravan Club sites. The showers require 20p for each 4 minutes, so make sure you collect some 20p coins before you arrive. There are fridges and freezers available, and even drying cabinets for wetsuits/fleeces. There is a nice on-site cafe, and essential provisions such as milk and freshly baked bread are available. Directly from the site it is a 10-15 minute walk down to the spectacular beach of Oxwich Bay through a nature reserve and sand dunes. There are three fields; two for camping, and one for a mix of caravans, motorhomes, camper vans, and large tents. Most of the caravan pitches are grassy hardstandings (rock pegs required), with outstanding views over the bay. The staff are approachable and helpful. The only downside I can report is the short, steep incline on leaving the site, which is a bit of a heave if towing a caravan unless you have a big 4-wheel drive vehicle.

My girlfriend and I just spent 5 fantastic nights at this campsite. We consider ourselves season campers and this is probably the best site we have stayed at. The toilets and showers were always clean, they are very modern. They are coined operated and 20p gives you 4 minutes of hot water, which is surprisingly long enough to shower and wash your hair. The site is very well maintained. The pot wash has two large fridges and a large chest freezer where patrons can store food, milk etc and re-freeze ice packs etc free of charge. I thought this was a great idea. They also supply black bags free of charge. We stayed on the lower field with hook up and there is plenty of room if you have a large tent. The location is stunning with direct access to Oxchwich bay, it is very steep which disabled, the older generation and young children may struggle with however a 5 minute drive takes you to Oxchwich Slade where you can park practically on the beach with access to toilet's, beach bistro and cafe and water sports such as kayak hire, surfing etc. The Gower Peninsula is amazing and the views and beaches are breath taking. If you want a chilled out and quiet site with great facilities and a relaxed atmosphere then this is the place too be.
