Three Cliffs Holiday Park, perched atop the cliffs of Gower's iconic Three Cliffs Bay, offers a glamping experience that converts even the most reluctant campers. With pre-erected bell tents, real beds, and breathtaking sea views, this site combines nature with comfort.
Accommodation and Amenities
The glamping bell tents at Three Cliffs Holiday Park sleep four and come equipped with a real bed, BBQ, firepit, kitchen utensils, kettle, fridge, and electric hook-up. A picnic bench is provided, though reviewers recommend bringing a camping chair for added comfort. For those seeking more space, deluxe and countryside yurts with indoor dining tables are available.
The site is spread across several fields of Northhill Farm, offering pitches for campers, tourers, and tents. Some pitches afford direct views of the beach, allowing guests to watch the sunrise from their bedding. The facility block, newly refurbished, is spotlessly clean with ample toilets, showers, and washing-up stations.
Service and On-Site Facilities
Staff at Three Cliffs Holiday Park are consistently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness. According to the reviewer, “Nothing seemed like too much trouble and they were always up for a chat.” When card machines failed, staff extended trust to guests. They also set aside popular baked goods from Ponterdawe's Baked By Jones, notably the cornflake flapjack, which had previously sold out.
On-site amenities include a cafe serving coffee, cake, and pizzas, a well-stocked shop, a separate seating area overlooking the sea, a dog walking area, and a play field. The site enforces a quiet policy after 10pm, ensuring a peaceful stay.
Beach Access and Activities
Three Cliffs Bay, a 20-minute walk from the campsite, features golden sands, dramatic limestone cliffs, and the Pennard Pill stream. The beach is less crowded than nearby spots like Oxwich or Rest Bay due to its size and the effort required to reach it. Lifeguards are on duty during weekends and school holidays, advising on safe swimming areas. Strong currents can occur, so visitors are urged to be cautious.
The beach offers ample space for sunbathing, frisbee, or exploration, with rock pools, sand dunes, and salt marshes to discover.
Pricing and Booking
A three-night stay in a bell tent sleeping four costs £439, approximately £48 per person per night. More information is available on the holiday park's website.
