- We took the campervan to Port Eynon on the Gower near Swansea. It's a lovely large site where you can hear the sounds of the waves from your pitch. The facilities are second to none with two blocks serving the site - one of them being brand new. We had decided to go on this holiday on the spur of the moment after losing Mum/Nan and were in that strange period waiting for the funeral.
We apologise for the quality of the video but I accidentally deleted the whole weekend's files after also wiping the memory card. I was so upset because we spent hours on the unique footage. Eventually, we spent quite a lot of money on Wondersgare Recoverit software which saved a lot of the files but some were corrupt and prevented the video from being produced by Power Director. Power Director would play it but not produce it, I ended up using a screen recorder to capture the video being played.
This video shows us arriving along some narrow lanes and through Port Eynon village which was really narrow in parts. I would imagine that it could get gridlocked in the summer months if cars and vans are arriving and leaving at the same time. We wondered if the unusual check-in and checkout times of 11AM and 3PM respectively could be to avoid campers leaving when the day-trippers are arriving and vice versa. There is only one road to the village.
We have a look at the expansive beach and tried to get fish and chips but both chip shops which are side by side were closed (March 22) with no indication of when they would be reopening. This could have been difficult had we been on s tighter budget as we were expecting to get something and chips but ended up eating in the albeit very nice Smugglers Arms. The Ship is also looked great but we noticed they did not have a children's menu whereas the Smugglers Arms seemed very child friendly.
In the second part of the video which will be published 2nd April we head over to Culver Hole which involved a steep climb (we got lost) and eventually Dad had to climb down a treacherous cliff. It was really worth it though and be sure to tune in to see that.

What a beautiful time by the water x looked like fun was had with the fishing nets x the roads looked very narrow though you did so well to navigate them x
Great vlog

Thank you! The roads were really narrow - I would imagine it would be nightmare in Summer as there was only one road in and out. 😍😍
Looks stunning, Those lanes looked very narrow for a motorhome. £44 a night not cheap.
It was really stunning but as you say it bit expensive especially for March but it was a lovely spot. We have a campervan and I think a motorhome may struggle but there were some big units there so it's possible. 👍🙂
We have a holiday home in port eynon. We love it down there 👍
Wow that must be awesome - we really loved it there and the Smuggler's Inn was great! 👍😍😍
The Gower is beautiful…🥰
It's one of our favourite places and we think it is as good as Pembrokeshire which is also lovely. 😍😍
Looks a lovely site despite the narrow roads getting there! My Husband is a twin and he went on to have twin boys as well! Look forward to watching Part 2. ATB Sue, Brian and The Westies 👍🐶🐾🐾🐾😀
Ah thank you. It was really lovely there but a little windy (to say the least 😁). Really ingesting that your husband is a twin and also had twin boys. It does seem to run in families. We can see such a bond in our boys. Thank you so much for commenting 😍😍x
