Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: View was great close to Barry island very quiet good toilets and showers the recycling centre they had was a great idea
Disliked: No emergency cord in the disabled toilets/showers no where to dry your hands no litter bins anywhere on the site when you had a shower you had no where to sit it was either the toilet or the wet seat under the shower

Liked: They have done so much work and improvements to their site since my visit last year. A brand new shower and toilet block .A washing up area and plenty of bins for recycling,glass and rubbish. Also the hard standing has been resurfaced with tarmac. Perfect site for getting bus to Cardiff for the rugby. Will definitely be returning.
