Who we are:
As a District Association of The Camping and Caravanning Club, our team of volunteers organises affordable weekend meets, Temporary Holiday Sites and themed events throughout the year, including Easter, Halloween and Christmas.
Whether you are looking for a peaceful countryside escape or a social weekend with fellow campers, there is always something to enjoy.
South Wales DA is run by a committee of volunteers who give their time to organise meets and keep the DA active for members to enjoy. The committee is appointed each year at our Annual General Meeting (AGM). Details of our AGM can be found on the Committee page.
How to join us on our meets:
To camp with us, you must be a member of The Camping and Caravanning Club.
If you are not yet a member, you can join online using the link in the footer of this page, or speak to the steward when arriving at one of our Temporary Holiday Sites and they will be happy to help.
We look forward to welcoming you. Join today and begin your next adventure with South Wales DA.

Good to Know Before You Arrive
To help everyone enjoy their stay, please keep the following in mind when camping with South Wales DA.
Dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a lead (maximum 2m) on the camping field and any mess cleaned up.
Please drive slowly on site and follow any guidance from the steward when pitching.
Quiet time is after 11pm so everyone can enjoy a peaceful night.
Generators may only be used during the permitted hours shown on site notices.
Most meets provide basic facilities, so please come prepared to be self-sufficient.
If you are unsure about anything when you arrive, simply speak to the steward who will be happy to help.
New to DA Camping? Discover our Meets
Unless a meet is specifically marked as a booked meet, you can usually just arrive on the day. Check in with the steward, show your membership cards (digital versions via the Siteseeker App are fine), pay your camping fee, follow any guidance on where to pitch, and then simply set up and enjoy your stay.
Weekend meets
These gatherings usually take place over a weekend, but may 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 are always popular and offer something for everyone. 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 always popular and often include organised entertainment, so 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, be sure to reserve your spot quickly once the booking form is released, as pitch availability will be limited. Once filled, we’ll maintain a waiting list, but we cannot guarantee a pitch. For updates on booking form releases, please check our Facebook page.
Limited capacity at certain locations may sometimes necessitate booking. We aim to minimise booked meets wherever possible, as they create additional work for us. Please remember, we are all volunteers with full-time jobs.
Additional Information
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 will always be available.
With the exception of booked meets, which must be paid for in advance, cash is our preferred method of payment as card facilities aren’t always available.
