Smile, you’re at Happy Jakes Touring Park. And there are a few reasons for why. This lush little countryside park is deep in the Vale of Glamorgan – but is only a few miles from the Blue Flag beaches, cliffs and coves of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, including seaside resort Barry, of Gavin and Stacey fame: fans of Uncle Bryn, Nessa et al can book a Gavin and Stacey tour in the town to see the main tellyvisual sights. Around 15 miles to the east lies Cardiff, capital for days and nights out, or you could contentedly base the family at Happy Jakes to coast around the local castles, bike routes, gardens and activities on land and water. Owners Mandy, Mark and (famed) Jake have been honing and adding to Happy Jakes Touring Park since opening in 2011, with disabled access high on the agenda: the wetrooms in the smart heated shower and toilet block are big enough to take a wheelchair user and carer, or up to four family members. There’s also a launderette, washing-up area with hot water, tourist information room, and a dedicated walking/play area for dogs (who stay for free; happy woof). Looking for nosh and tipples to put an additional smile on your face? Pick up all sorts of fresh Welsh produce at the local farmers’ markets, farm shops and fruit farms. If cooking on holiday is a thing to be avoided at all costs, Happy Jakes is three miles from ancient market town Cowbridge and its dozen or so pubs and restaurants.

Likte: Ok campsite showers and toilets clean maybe a problem if campsite full as limited 2 toilets and showers

Likte ikke: Grass was far too long with dogs they would get soaked just walking them especially with the rain we had plus no Wi-Fi which would have helped

Anbefal til venner Besøker gjerne igjen

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your comments. We are sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay with us and that the dogs were soaked due to the wet weather and slightly longer grass. As the weather has been against us and we have a great deal of rain. The grass has not been cut as often. One of the reasons for this is that vehicles travelling over the grass are able to get more traction when the grass is a bit longer. This helps with towing as well. In addition when the grass is wet we avoid cutting as it can leave cut grass lying on the ground which can then be tracked into the tents, caravan etc. Our details do state that we do not have wifi on site. many of our guests have their own wifi/wifi units that they bring with them. We are glad you found the shower/toilet facilities clean but you must have missed the additional toilets. There are 2 single toilets within the shower block plus another 2 toilets within the large family shower rooms Plus 2 additional toilets on the outside of the shower block incorporating 1 ladies, 1 mens plus an additional separate mens urinal.

Excellent site

Likte: Large pitch

Likte ikke: Overpriced

Anbefal til venner Besøker gjerne igjen

Fra bestyreren: What a shame you feel this way! It recent times as we all know overheads have increased. We look to offer a price that includes your electric and shower facilities so no extra payment to be made. Your ratings are in opposition to the very many positive ones we have received including the Cleanliness of our facilities. We will not be including wifi as we have found that it is a way to encourage our younger visitors to lay down their electronics and get out and play and interact with others improving their social skills and their communication with others. Many of these youngsters have been upset to leave us. Sorry we were not the place for you. Let's hope you find future sites that are more in line with your needs. Happy Camping

Likte: Very pleasant site, huge pitches Good signage and instructions to follow especially when towing

Likte ikke: Wi-Fi would of been really good

Anbefal til venner Besøker gjerne igjen

Fra bestyreren: Thank you so much for your kind review. So pleased that you enjoyed the space around you on your pitch and enjoyed your visit with us. We have found that not having wifi is a way to encourage our younger visitors to get out and play. Many of our visitors have their own mobile wifi. In addition the feedback from parents has been that although sceptical at first at not having wifi for the children/family it has actually been positive with the children laying down their tablets etc and just playing.

Lokale attraksjoner

Surf, canter, paintball, go-kart or have a coastal path amble along the nearby Glamorgan Heritage Coast, running for 14 miles from Porthcawl to Aberthaw (paintballing and go-karting along clifftop paths not recommended). There’s so much to see on this part of coast: after the ruins of 12th-century Ogmore Castle, follow the pathway to the village of Merthyr Mawr, backed by a maze of spectacular sand dunes, over 300 species of flower and the Big Dipper, the biggest sand dune in Europe – bring a sledge (really). Fancy fossil hunting? The nearby town of Llantwit Major is so ancient you can pick up Jurassic fossils on its Collugh beach (which has an Iron Age hill fort too). If you’re a surfer, the Collugh waves are a popular place; also get on board with things by veering west outside the Vale of Glamorgan to Porthcawl in Bridgend. Have another couple of days in Cardiff to see sights such as Cardiff Castle and Llandaff Cathedral, the very fab open-air National History Museum at St Fagans and the National Museum and Gallery of Wales.
