South Wales DA (SWDA) is a District Association of the Cambrian & Wyvern Region of The Camping and Caravanning Club.
Weekend meets
Typically, these gatherings take place over the weekend, but they can last for up to five nights. No matter which District Association is on your membership card, a warm welcome awaits you, however please do check our Facebook page or feel free to call us, in case we have limited availability.
Temporary Holiday Sites
These sites offer great fun for all. We look forward to welcoming numerous members from various District Associations as well as from our own. The duration ranges from five to twenty-eight nights, allowing you to stay for any length of time within that period. To avoid disappointment, please do check our Facebook page or call us ahead of arrival, as some of our THSs fill up very quickly, especially on bank holiday weekends.
Themed Meets
These gatherings are incredibly enjoyable for everyone! With entertainment at most of these events, you won’t want to miss out! As with all our meets, all members of The Camping and Caravanning Club are welcome to join us. Please note, some of these events are booked meets due to limited space.
Booked Meets
Where a booked meet is indicated, reserve your spot quickly once the booking form is released as pitch availability will be limited; once filled, we’ll keep a waiting list, but we cannot guarantee a pitch. For updates on when booking forms are released, please check our Facebook page or keep an eye on the booked meets section of this website.
Limited capacity at certain locations may sometimes necessitate booking. Nevertheless, we aim to reduce the requirement for bookings as they create additional work for us. (Remember, we are all volunteers and have other full-time jobs).
Please be aware that DA Camping typically provides only essential facilities. You will often need to use your own sanitation and be self-sufficient for cooking, heating, and lighting.
Fresh drinking water and a toilet waste disposal point are always made available.
The Latest at SWDA:
We’re all done for 2024! We’ve had a very busy schedule so it’s time for a well earned rest!

I’d like to thank all who have camped with us for your support, and special thanks to all who have helped out, donated and lent a hand, you really have made a valued contribution to making our events a success.
Extra special thanks to our Stewards, and to our committee who work hard to make everything happen.
