Acorn Camping and Caravanning

A family-run Heritage Coast site a mile from Llantwit Major, with shepherd's huts, tent and caravan pitches, and a café that earns its reputation at breakfast.

Acorn sits on the Vale of Glamorgan Heritage Coast, surrounded by farmland and within a mile of Llantwit Major and its beach. It is the kind of site that does several things at once without losing its character: tent campers, tourers, and shepherd's hut guests share the same honest, well-kept ground, and the whole thing is run with the attentiveness of a family that cares about the place.

The shepherd's huts are the headline option for those who want a roof, positioned close to the shower block and a bed described by guests as genuinely comfortable. Tent and caravan pitches are screened by hedges, which does the quiet work of keeping neighbours at arm's length even when the site is busy. The on-site café is a proper draw in itself: a good cooked breakfast before a morning walk along the Wales Coast Path is a reasonable argument for staying an extra night.

Llantwit Major is a town worth visiting, with a train connection to Cardiff for anyone planning a day out. The Heritage Coast path is accessible on foot from the site, offering cliff and coastal walking without needing a car.
