What is the Gower Peninsula known for and where can campers stay near Swansea?

The Gower Peninsula is known for its mix of big sand beaches, rugged cliffs, and bewitching little coastal villages with a drum-roll of dramatic moorland in the middle. It’s a well-established pitcher’s paradise, with lots of mainly small-scale farm campsites alongside a few mid-size campsites. In central Swansea, Swansea Marina has a touring park for caravans but most campers hereabouts base themselves out on the Gower’s beguiling seaboard within easy reach of the city.
