    Parked up on Saturday for 12 hours, 4 other Motorhomes in car park! Signs say no sleeping overnight… so avoided sleeping but did park overnight…….! Road can be busy in the evening but by pub kick out there is nothing of note! Toilets were great but closed at night, open from around 6am. Lots of friendly people!

  • 3/5

    £14.20 for 24hrs now by app only (up from £6). Still a nice area.

  • 1/5

    I really wouldn’t overnight here! £6 24 hours & it’s fine during day. Currently it’s a race track with cars gunning down the sea road & up out of town. Noisy & doesn’t feel safe to leave as the road out is the race track. Not gonna get a lot of sleep!

  • 1/5

    Can no longer overnight here. Paid 17 to park in the day at another beach on premise of transferable ticket and staying here but sign now states no overnight parking.

  • 3/5

    £17 for 24 hours now. Not sure how they can justify a nearly 300% price hike. I guess it's to put people off to stop the crowds. It's worked for me. Edit: This car park and many others on the coast use transferrable tickets. So, while £17 is a lot for 24 hours, you don't have to stay in the one car park. eg. I stayed at Bracelet Bay overnight, and then moved to Caswell Bay for the day.

  • 4/5

    just stayed for 2 nights. £6 for 24 hrs. public toilets that aren't to bad. Not 24hrs though with a key the disabled loos are. Drinking water available 24/7 outside the toilets. Rite on the beach although work is taking place along whole front at present. arrive early or late as busy from around 9/9.30 and starts to empty around 5ish. Over the road to pubs, cafés and shops. 20 minswalk to pier.

  • 5/5

    Arrived quite late on the 16th Feb '24 was quite full, and although plenty of large bays suitable for a 6mtr Motorhome, most if not all had cars in them. We did find a spot with a rear shevron overhang, but stayed with the MH so we could monitor cars leaving then moved into a more suitable bay that we could completely fit in. Other than the above for £6 for 24hr, can't fault

  • 5/5

    Great park up that costs £6 for 24hrs, toilets are nearby not the best but handy if needed. We stayed out of season along with 5 other vans and had a great nights sleep. We would definitely come back here but can imagine the summer season it would be extremely busy

  • 5/5

    Just parked up in our Peugeot Boxer with a beautiful view, right opposite the toilet block (free drinking water outside). Paid £6.20 on the RingGo app for 24hours parking. Bit of a building site, as they are fixing the sea wall, but the work has stopped for the evening. Toilets were closed by 5.20 and reopened at 9am. Not too noisy for a Friday night. Would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5

    Great park up, £6 for 24 hours, we got our LWB in a lovely spot overlooking the beach. 5 other vans here for Boxing Day night. Peaceful, although windy, it was raining when we stayed. Would recommend. Busy during the day, but deffo clears out in the evening.

  • 5/5

    Great central location with lots of shops, cafes etc nearby & views of beach. £6.40 on app. Managed to get my lwb in a spot near (free) toilets where space for overhang. Works still going on in car park. Busy spot & noisy Thursday night, a fight kicked off on main road behind with couple of guys. Recommend nearby Papi’s Pizzeria, best pizza I’ve had in ages, great service & dog friendly :)

  • 5/5

    Busy carpark but found a space easy enough. Plenty of places for food etc. toilets were closed by about 7pm. Can’t fault it for £6

  • 5/5

    easy to find, no height restrictions, £6 for 24 hours, public toilets in the car park though they do close early evening. close to shops and restaurants. did get busy during the evening so would recommend getting there mid afternoon to get a spot. currently building work going on from 7am ish until 7pm ish but apart from that very quiet. overall a really great stop.

  • 5/5

    Nice car park!! No hight restrictions, can stay overnight, in front of the beach & loads around to do! £6 for 24h!

  • 4/5

    Spent 2 night here this week. Still an excellent place to stay at £6 for 24 hrs. Be aware that there are sea defence works taking place till 2024 and the workmen and equipment started making noise from about 7.45am each morning. Not sure if that was to fit with low tide but that is a risk.

  • 5/5

    Wir hatten eine ruhige Nacht hier. Tagsüber zur Zeit Baustelle. Saubere Toiletten und Trinkwasser am Parkplatz. 6 Pfund für 24 Stunden absolut perfekt! Schöner Ort mit vielen Bars, Cafés und Restaurants

  • 5/5

    Super parking seulement 6£ pour 24h, directement au bord de la baie de Swansea c’est vraiment magnifique. (Attention à bien payer à la machine qui est a côté des toilettes, il y en a une autre sur la partie supérieur du parking où les tarifs sont bien plus élevés : 17£/24h)

  • 5/5

    Perfect park up spot for the mumbles with access to public toilets.

  • 5/5

    Couldn't believe our luck. pulled in to the car park to look at this app and found that we were in a car park that allows overnight stays and has loos and fresh water available. only £6 for 24 hours and beautiful sea views!

  • 5/5

    Great stop off for an over night. Toilets, fresh water, food shops, cafes etc all within walking distance.

  • 5/5

    Great base. Everything you need is within walking distance. Toilets open in the daytime during winter. Great views and setting.

  • 5/5

    Ideally placed for exploring Mumbles; high Street a short walk, Oystermouth Castle up the hill, promenade, and Mumbles Hill nature reserve.

  • 5/5

    Great place to stop. Welcoming overnight carpark, lots of spaces, good sizes. Can park either along the front or the back along a wall. £6 for 24hrs. Toilet block, open until 9ish and re-open at 9amish. Town centre right next to it, mumbles beach right on the front. A nice walk along the front to the pier and reserve. Also a castle up the top of town to the right.

  • 4/5

    Great location for £6 for 24hrs. Around 6 other campers there when we arrived. Public toilets were closed at 10pm when we got there but open again at 7am. Bars and restaurants walking distance and lovely walk with the dog.

  • 5/5

    Great spot! Very quiet at night. Lovely walk along the seaside to the pier. We were the only ones here and the morning (Wednesday) wasn’t busy at all. Toilets were open 24 hrs, they’re very clean, and there’s a water fountain outside to fill up bottles. Pls walk up the road to Mumbles Coffee for the best coffee and baked goods in the UK!

  • 4/5

    Really nice views in the morning of the bay & right by the mumbles town centre. Didn’t find the road too noisy at all & slept well. The only problem is that the car park is very busy during the day. Luckily we got a spot in the evening, when it was quiet, but it became full very quickly in the morning.

  • 4/5

    Lovely place to stay. Toilet block Local shops and restaurants close by. Mumbles Pier short walk away. Stayed on weekend so had few revellers loudly walking by quite late. Would stay again. Lots of other campervan on site.

  • 5/5

    Perfect overnight stop. As described £6.20 for 24 hours. Quiet by 11pm and woke to beautiful views in the morning. White rose pub across the road for dinner was good. Morning coffee and breakfast at mumbles coffee was next level! Couple other motor homes too. We are in 7m Crafter.

  • 4/5

    Arrived around 6pm Bank Holiday Friday. Very busy but managed to nab a spot on the edge of the car park, with no lines but this didn't seem to be a problem. Be careful to buy ticket from the correct machine or you'll get a fine! Pretty noisy up until midnight but otherwise a good spot. Lots of choice for refreshments if needed. Would have been a cracking spot to wake up to if it wasn't raining!

  • 5/5

    Great place for campervans, no overnight restrictions. Toilets are well kept. Close to Tesco Express and Co-op as well as pubs and restaurants. Lovely view of the sea as the tide comes in at night. 6 pounds for 24 hours.

  • 5/5

Was busy untill around 8pm dog walkers and the usual. The toilets didn't open at 9 like stated so we walked to knab rock car park 5 minute walk and the toilets were open

  • 5/5

    Excellent spot close to bars and restaurants. £6 for 24 hours parking. Lots of other campers about so felt safe. Right on the sea front, good access to Swansea.

  • 5/5

    stayed here for a concert at Singleton Park, Taxi rank across the road took us down, we walked back (maybe 5k) £6 for 24 hours and a sea view. Perfect.

  • 5/5

    Easy to find a space from 8pm or so, quite busy Saturday afternoon. Nice place to camp, other vans there too, nobody bothered. No toilets at night but you can go down the steps and pee on the sea defences. Great views

  • 5/5

    24hour parking and other campers about. Centre of mumbles lovely view right on sea front. Very helpful people about

  • 4/5

    24hrs for £6 facilities open in the morning. Pubs/restaurants a stone throwaway. Stayed on a Friday night a little noisy until 12pm then a lovely sleep and what a view to wake up to. Sunrise right over the sea

  • 3/5

    Good location but just a little busy / noisy plenty of places close for food and drink and a good sun rise.

  • 5/5

    Excellent place for £6 plenty of pubs around and greggs over the road also has toilets which shut around 6 ish. Didn’t quieten down till around 12. Also croseo lounge are very dog friendly..

  • 5/5

    quiet spot after the boy racers have gone. toilets not open till 9. pub across the road and Greggs for breakfast!!!

  • 4/5

    Decent enough. Not the most scenic as quite near the main town but got a good night's sleep. Nice sunrise if you're lucky.

  • 5/5

    A wonderful place to overnight, quiet and a beautiful view to wake to. Plenty of spaces, 4 other campers stopped too, well spread out, the local restaurant's are popular and were all booked, but only a short walk to an M&S food or Tesco Express. used ringoApp to pay for parking £6. Toilets closed in the evening but opened by 9am. Will definitely be visiting again in our lwb Renault Trafic.

  • 4/5

    Parked over night, paid £6 for 24hrs. Toilets open during the day, closed early. Close to restaurants pubs cafe. Arrived in LWB found a spot with adequate space to overhang. Car park was full by 11.30am on a Saturday. Noise wasn’t an issue

  • 5/5

    Stayed here a few times now. Always quiet and get a good nights sleep. Lovely view to wake up to and parking is cheap, croeso lounge is lovely for food and dog friendly and plenty of amenities within a few minutes walk. Does get busy In the morning with runners and people parking for work.

  • 4/5

    Excellent parking right on the beach and just a short walk from a selection of restaurants. £6 for 24 hours stayed overnight no problem. Came in a lwb mid October was very busy and struggled a bit to park but worth the wait.

  • 5/5

    Great place to stop for camper van overnight. Lovely views and local Tesco/Gregg/coop in walking distance for ease. Toilets open 9-7.30 summer and 9-5 winter.

  • 3/5

    £6 for 24 hours, didn't run into any problems staying for a night. Public toilets but closed over night. Fairly quiet and much quieter than the car parks further up the coast that were filled with young boys racing their cars.

  • 4/5

    Great car park paid £6 for 24hrs we were abit worried as we take up nearly 2 spaces, so left a note for the traffic warden but think it must have been okay. It is quite a busy road and lots of motor homes parked here. Great Indian across the road called mumtaz, fantastic food. Lovely little town n lovely pier.

  • 4/5

    Staying here tonight no other vans so far. Most bays are quite level, £6 for 24hrs so long as you park in the lower area. Public loos are fine. It was busy with cyclists, walkers etc until 20.30 but is calm now with only a little traffic noise.

  • 3/5

    It's an ok place and we decided not to stay the night. The view is quite pleasant but it's a busy promenade with many people walking, running, cycling and not a place for wild campers. Toilet block is pretty gross too.

  • 5/5

    Excellent view and 6 quid to park for 24 hours. Friendly people stopping to chat over morning coffee. No problems at all with overnight parking. Several vans in this car park and the one further up towards the pier.

  • 4/5

    Good spot for overnight parking. Lots of places to eat out. All public toilets in Mumbles shut at 7pm so be prepared if you need the loo!

  • 5/5

    Parked overnight. Still £6 for 24 hours with no overnight restrictions (unlike the other seafront car parks). Wonderful views. Public toilets open in day. Big car park with several other motorhomers.

  • 5/5

    Exellent park up, quite at night,but busy during the day, stayed 3 nights £6 for 24hrs lovely views,and town close by

  • 5/5

    Safe, quiet night’s sleep. Great view and lots of campers - most turn up later in the evening. Busy during the day as close to shops and restaurants. Can pay at machine or through Ringo. Toilets shut at 7pm.

  • 4/5

    Stayed here overnight without any problems, £6 for 24hrs, toilets accessible in the daytime.

  • 4/5

    Toilets available, close to the town. Some great walks and a good place to stop off for the Gower

  • 5/5

    Our go to stop when we need to get away...loads of spaces when the nearby restaurants close up....£6 all day....24 hour charges....toilet block here which is open during day but there is also a disabled toilet....ice cream, shops and coffee shops nearby too....great find

  • 5/5

    Spent Friday night here, which was a bit noisy in the evening as it is in town but just people enjoying themselves so felt safe. In every other respect this is Heaven for motorhomes, beautiful view next to the sea with a toilet block. The parking restriction is deep in a long list of small print and only prohibits 'camping' which IMHO is tents etc and 'residential' which means staying there for too long.

  • 4/5

    Good location, the view is great. We stayed on a Friday night, fairly quiet once the restaurants close, few other campers we're here also.

  • 4/5

    Officially no camping according to the signs. However I wasn't moved on. Had a good night in the long stay part of the car park which is quieter and further away from the road

  • 3/5

    Bays a bit tight for 7.5 metre vehicle. We chose not to risk it. Great location though.

  • 3/5

    This car park is still 24hrs for £6. Some of the spaces are quite small. We managed to squeeze in Swift Sundance length 21ft. Toilets are clean.

  • 3/5

    Toilet facilities, right next to beach

  • 1/5

    The carpark has been done up now and I'm not sure if it's still ok as the tickets now say £6 all day and not 24hrs

  • 2/5

    A bit of work going on there at moment but still a great spot new layout

  • 1/5

    Parking fermé avec travaux.
