    hi

    why not find a campsite near Barry and see if you can find any last minute deals from the direct owners sites?

    i dont know the area very well so dont know the names of the campsites nearest to south cardiff but found this one near Barry ...that says it is available..

    hope everything works out for you and your Dhs family..

    The postcode is Penarth. There are no Pontins or Haven parks nearby. Trecco Bay in Porthcawl is probably the closest one with the facilities you want and is about 30 miles / 50 mins away. Google it and take a look.

    Penarth itself is a lovely place. I'd be inclined to stay there in a small hotel or b and b and take the kids out:

    Day 1 Crabbing on the beach at Penarth (mostly pebbles) followed by sandwiches and ice cream on the pier
    Day 2 Barry Island - superb sandy beach with rocky headlands and two funfairs - fish and chips for lunch
    Day 3 St Fagans - a great day out and free of charge

    Hope the trip goes well!
