Candleston Campsite
Welcome
Just imagine, the exclusive use of 100 Acres of unspoiled woodland
Candleston Campsite covers 100 acres of woodland and it's remote and unspoiled nature make it ideally suited to all LARP, Re-enactment, Living History, and Team Building events as well as an excellent location for film and television use.
Already popular with many groups from all over the UK.
Candleston Castle Campsite is an excellent location which is available to hire exclusively to anyone. Our site is located within 100 acres of woodland in Merthyr Mawr, South Wales. Adjoining the site is the 900 acre Merthyr Mawr Warren National Nature Reserve fronting over a kilometre of sandy beach, part of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast. Adjacent to the site is Candleston Castle; an atmospheric, ruined 14th century fortified manor house with a large walled courtyard. The campsite, Nature Reserve, Castle, woodland, and surrounding land offer a huge variety of landscape features, and together form part of Merthyr Mawr Estate.
The site is available to be booked throughout the year, and includes a number of camping areas with excellent facilities including toilets, showers, washrooms, hot water and a large central building with a fully equipped catering kitchen and a generator.
The camping areas are situated in woodland glades with a capacity to comfortably accommodate groups of 100 -300 people, more if vehicles are parked separately.
Around the camping area and adjoining woodland are a series of features to enhance your visit and can be used by anyone that hires the site. These include a fort, tunnels, and a competition pit. Together with the natural features such as mounds, hollows, large trees, and big open glades, the site offers the ideal environment for a wide range of hobby based activities or a great family holiday.
The site lies on very sandy, free draining soil and is therefore usable in all weathers with no danger of waterlogged vehicles or ground too hard for the tent pegs.
We have five Mongolian yurts available to hire for those who like their camping holidays but wish to avoid the hassle of bringing their own tents with them.
We are located 20 miles west of Cardiff, and south of Bridgend in Glamorgan, South Wales; 5 miles from J35 of the M4, and 2.5 miles from the main line railway at Bridgend. Cardiff airport is approximately 10 miles away. For more information and to make a booking click here bookings
