If you’ve been to the Gower before but not to this campsite, the chances are you’ve already had a taste of the farm. Some of the area’s most upmarket restaurants and gastro pubs buy Nicholaston Farm produce and Beynon fruit. Not that you need go that far. The delightful onsite café sells fresh, handpicked goodies too. Get them whisked into a Berry Boost smoothie and take in the view of the startling Three Cliffs.
Ideally situated just off the A4118 south Gower road – the main bus route between Swansea and Rhossili – the farm is directly between the Gower Way path to the north and the Gower Coast Path on its southern perimeter. It’s no surprise to find walkers rising early in the morning, packing away their tiny tents and heading off along the coast. The 10-minute stroll through woods and sand dunes to the nearest beach makes the place a boon for families too.
Recent changes mean caravan and motorhomes are now catered for, with 30 hard-standings in their own dedicated, sea-view field, while smaller campervans can also be accommodated in the two main tent-camping meadows. Campers have the benefit of modern amenity and shower blocks, fridges, freezers, Wi-Fi and secure mobile phone charging cabinets at no additional cost.
The Beynon family are friendly and easy going and it’s a big enough space to accept larger family groups – if you pass muster on the phone. Three Cliffs, Tor, crawley and Oxwich Bays are largely unspoilt and the walk down to the beaches is either over soft sand dunes scattered evening primroses or through forests filled with abundant wildlife. You’d be pushed to see such a varied coastline in such a small space anywhere else in the UK.
