Where to camp in South Wales?

We have only one camping trip left this summer and are looking forward to next year. We've never been to Wales and really fancy the South for a visit next summer.

It will be us (DH, 2 DC aged 16 and nearly 12), my big brother and his DC (15 and 13 respectively) and my parents.

We prefer a smaller site and as DN1 is autistic, one that is quiet in an evening is helpful. If not smaller, a little able to spread out or be away from crowds is helpful. While we as a family like wild camping, my Dad has Parkinson's and though he is early in diagnosis and comparatively well, we need decent and accessible shower/toilet options. Ideally, family or disabled options where Mum can accompany him in the shower.

I don't love the beach but will go to them if they have rock pooling or climbing or water sports. We all surf and paddle board so don't mind an active beach but not bothered about sitting on sand and eating it in dry sandwiches. We all like sea swimming too

Like culture, particularly museums and art. I'm a wee bit obsessed with steam trains and living or social history, really interested in the history of collieries/mining and any decent second hand bookshops are a bonus. We all like birds and DH and I love hiking.

Have you stayed in a campsite that we would like and would suit our various needs or match any interests? Or any recommendations for places to visit? We've been to Beamish this summer and the Open Air Museum was hands down, the best place I've ever been to in my life. Anything like that is perfect.

We go to Fforest Fields between Xmas and New Year every year. A really lovely site
