Camping near Mumbles

The village itself is guesthouse and short-let territory rather than a harbour campsite strip. Many visitors base in Mumbles B&Bs and day-trip the Gower, or stay on wider Gower sites and taxi/bus into the village for dinner.

Book any Gower pitch well ahead for school holidays. If you want seafront character without camping kit, choose a Mumbles Road B&B and walk the Coast Path from the promenade.
