CAMPING AT HILLEND
The campsite consists of 250 pitches set within 4 fields over14 acres of level or very gentle sloping meadow. All fields have easy access to the magnificent Rhosilli Bay which is 200-300 yards away.
There is a vibrant feel to the site and although we are family orientated, well behaved young people are welcome but we generally only accept under 18's with parental supervision.
The facilities at Hillend are continually being improved and are, we believe, one of the reasons Hillend has been listed as one of the top 10 U.K Campsites in both ‘The Times’ and ‘The Observer’.
The proximity of the beach makes it an ideal location for all water sports enthusiasts, in particular, canoeists, windsurfers, anglers and especially surfers.
Leave the campsite and explore the breath-taking Gower coastline along the peninsula’s comprehensive footpath network. Starting off on the Wales Coastal Path which runs alongside the campsite. Remember to be back before the sun goes down, you won't want to miss it
