Tent

1 night at Bryn Ifan Camping

I came during a downpour and was glad for the facilities available. I took shelter in the lovely big barn and had access to a place to prep my meals and do my dishes without getting wet. Toilets and showers were located next to it and a short walk away were the parking and campsites. Everything was within easy reach, I didn't think it was difficult to move things from my car to my tent. No long walks or steep climbs. I couldn't have been happier with my stay.

I loved camping here. Extremely welcoming hosts. Very friendly. Beautiful campsite with stunning views and fantastic facilities

Weekend Trip to Bryn Ifan Camping

We’ve just had a fabulous two nights staying at this magical campsite. What a great find! The site is so beautiful and well maintained and has the best views of any campsite I’ve stayed at. We loved the way the site is set up, the high grass and wildflowers between pitches and watching the sun set over the sea in the evening. The facilities are great too, toilets clean and well maintained and showers lovely. The barn is such a great space too and the games an added bonus. The hosts were so welcoming and helpful also. We will definitely be coming back! :-)

1 night at Plas yn Llangoed

Excellent site. Super host, lovely pitches. Thank you!

2 nights at Parke Farm Camping

We had a lovely two night stay at Parke Farm. The pitches were spacious and well kept and we liked the long grass between them to give a sense of privacy. It wasn't very busy so we were able to pick our pitch. It was a quiet site but family friendly. All the facilities were clean and there were flushing toilets, hot showers, washing up facilities, a fridge/freezer and even free tea and coffee in the morning. The little onsite shop is a bit pricey but does have anything you would likely need if you'd forgotten to pack it. Check in was easy and everyone on site was friendly and helpful. The location was brill and about ten minutes drive from Barafundle and Broad Haven. We would happily stay again.

The site is in a fantastic location, the boat had everything we needed, the site facilities were very good, the woodburner was wonderful, we loved seeing occasional trains go past, our reactive rescue dog loved having the beach areaa to himself. A problem was sorted out within half an hour.

Weekend Trip to Gwerniago Camping Site

The campsite was really easy to find and had gorgeous views. It was nice and spacious so we didn’t on top of other families. It was very windy but would be the time of year. The toilets and shower block is clean and a nice washing up facility for dishes. There are fridges available to use and taps near the non electric pitches too. We also used a fire pit which was great to end our visit. We would like to come back as it’s close to lots of great hikes and bike parks!

Weekend Trip to Parke Farm Camping

We had a wonderful bank holiday stay. The campsite is in a great location, is clean and quiet even when fully booked. The owner was charming and we used the campsite as our base to cycle to the beautiful beaches near by. Great food at nearby Stackpole Inn. Highly recommend a stay - we'll be back.

4 nights at Smugglers Cove Boatyard

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on The Hannah! The location is absolutely stunning and the boat stay was a brilliant change from our usual tent camping. After a few bumped heads from the lower cabin inside, we quickly got used to life aboard. The boat is well equipped with plenty of your basics and some thoughtful additions (including a cool looking radio/CD player). Sophie was a brilliant host and very quickly sorted out a query for us (thank you!!!). Pretty much all of our time, though, was spent outside soaking up the stunning views, watching the birdlife (including one the local Ospreys!) and cooking on the firepit. In the evenings we regularly heard a Nightjar and Tawny Owls, it really was wonderful. The information pack emailed to us recommended a train trip from nearby Penhelig station to Barmouth on the Cambrian Coast Line. We did this and would recommend this too! Beautiful journey with gorgeous views on either side. If you’re looking for a break away from the usual, it’s definitely well worth a stay at Smuggler’s Cove.

3 nights at Plas yn Llangoed

Emily is a fantastic host and the camping here is simply stunning. The facilities on site are exemplary, we made good use of the communal fire pit and free firewood and charcoal for the barbecue. There is fridge space for all, usb sockets for phone charging, squeaky clean showers and loos, coffee and croissants in the morning and it's all eco friendly too, and did I mention that the view is to die for. The camping field is also very flat, the spaces are a decent size and spread out and the site is just delightful and very relaxing. Emily and her family have worked so hard to make every campers stay very happy and one they will never forget. We had a great three night stay midweek in May and will definitely be back, we just loved it here so much

2 nights at Smugglers Cove Boatyard

This was absolutely right up our street - quirky, amazing views, relaxedn with a great ambience from the record player (cant beat a bit of Matt Monro!). HIghly recommend as an unusual stay away from it all. Our dog loved it as well.

Weekend Trip to Rhosson Ganol

We absolutely loved the campsite! Our first time here and will definitely be returning. Our pitch was great with an amazing view of the sunset. The views are breathtaking and so much to do and see around the area. Toilets and showers are spotless, kitchen washing area also clean and spotless. We can’t wait to come back.

Weekend Trip to Smugglers Cove Boatyard

Beautiful scenery on a secluded pitch which felt like wild camping but had the benefit of clean toilet and shower facilities. We were extremely fortunate with lovely sunny weather too. It doesn't have the ability to be too busy. It's such a small site which was perfect for us.

The camping field is off-grid, with far reaching rural views and has five spacious, gently sloping pitches, which allow a level of privacy. After a busy day adventuring or relaxing, you’ll be able to sit by the campfire and on a clear night be amazed at how many stars you can see and how vast our skies are. There is a stream in the pond at the bottom of the fields (it is not fenced and adults must supervise the children by the water at all times). The area by the stream has started to be planted with new trees and we are committed to planting many more. We are looking at other rewilding projects, while we continue to provide pastureland for the sheep to graze. The camping field is located down the road from the main caravan park. Please note we are in the countryside and street lighting is not available on the road please bring a torch and enjoy the beautiful uninterrupted night sky. Great Redford is nestled away in 25 acres of Pembrokeshire countryside. The site is off-grid, and has five spacious pitches. Each pitch has its own camp fire, and picnic table and we have 2 Portaloos in the camping field, but you do have full use of the heated washrooms with waterfall showers and automatic taps on Redford Caravan Park. The site is a car free zone, the car park is in the camp field and there are wheel barrows to transport your kit to and from your pitch. There is plenty of space for kids to run free too. Great Redford and Redford Caravan Park are both dog friendly parks, making it the perfect get away for the whole family.
