Trecco Bay Holiday Park
On this visit we stayed in a privately owned caravan within Trecco Bay Holiday Park rather than accommodation booked directly through Parkdean. The park facilities and surrounding area will still be the same whichever way you stay, but access to some facilities may depend on your booking type and whether entertainment passes are included.

Getting there and Map
Trecco Bay is easiest to reach by car via the M4 (Junction 37). There is a bus stop outside the park and services into Porthcawl. The nearest train station is Pyle, about 10 minutes by car or taxi, so travelling entirely by train is possible but not the easiest option.
Our Thoughts
Trecco Bay is a classic British seaside holiday park right next to the beach in Porthcawl. Staying near the seafront made our break feel quieter and more relaxed, although it did mean a longer walk to the main facilities.
The park has a huge entertainment complex and plenty for families to do, while the coastal location is one of its biggest advantages. Overall, Trecco Bay is more about a traditional seaside holiday than luxury lodges, but the location, facilities and atmosphere make it a really enjoyable place to stay.
