This traditional, 29-acre, cliff-top dairy farm at Druidston is a breathtaking, back-to-basics site ideal for those exploring the Pembrokeshire coast

In a region with no shortage of stunning views, the panoramic vistas over St Brides Bay enjoyed from Shortlands Farm are really quite spectacular. The Ledwith family's traditional 29-acre farm at Druidston is a breathtaking, back-to-basics site that makes the ideal camp for those exploring this unspoilt fringe of West Wales. There's a refreshingly laid–back feel to the site – 16 pitches spaced around the edge of a large field with sea views". Perched atop the cliffside, exposed to the elements, there's no better place to watch the sun descend over the Irish Sea.

Distant enough from St Davids (20 minutes away) to avoid the crowds with secluded Druidston Haven just 10 minutes away, Shortlands is also enviably located for the Pembrokeshire Coast Path – accessible from a bridleway at the bottom of the farm. From your tent you can wander across, hop on the trail and stroll down the slope to a large, tidal beach, or walk the two-and a-half miles south to Broad Haven and Little Haven where there are further beaches and a clutch of sea-front pubs and cafés.

All in all, Shortlands Farm guarantees a friendly welcome and the perfect base for exploring this unspoilt stretch of one of the world's great coastal walks. As any beleaguered ramblers can attest, Shortland's hosts' hospitality knows no bounds. Kate and family are happy to help and have expert local-knowledge of the best places to go. Not that you need go anywhere. With the best views for miles, Shortlands Farm is a place you’ll want to stick around at.

Booked 1 time
Motorhome/tent pitch · Sleeps 4 · Vehicles under 40 ft
The Caravan and Motorhome Club Certificated Location (members only) at Shortlands Farm is accessed down a narrow single-lane unmade track, which our predecessors nicknamed Bumpy Lane! However the journey is worth it once you arrive and are faced with the beautiful sea views over St Brides Bay. 3 night minimum stay during school holidays. The grassy field is level (there is no hardstanding) and allows each guest plenty of room to have ample space of their own. There are 5 pitches in the field, lettered A to E. Electric hook-up (approx. 10 amp) is included in the cost per night. Just outside the field is a modern unisex toilet and shower block (3 toilets & 3 showers, 2 wash-basins both with shaving points) shared with the campers from the adjacent field. If you prefer to remain self-contained within your van you are still able to access drinking water and a chemical disposal point. There are three outdoor sinks for washing-up. Shortlands Farm is a family-friendly site and we welcome well-behaved dogs on leads. We are within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and only 5 minutes from the coastal path. The dog-friendly beach at Druidston Haven is only a 15 minute walk away. The CAMC CL (members only) has been operating at Shortlands Farm for over 25 years. We have welcomed adult members and their families who have been visiting the farm since they were children themselves. A combination of the peaceful location, the stunning sea views and sunsets, and easy access to the beaches and coast path keep visitors returning year after year.

Gorgeous campsite in a lovely location! Lots of space for our tent and surroundings, and views of the coast. Nice and quiet with only a few families / couples, and clean facilities. Will absolutely stay here again if we head to Pembrokeshire!

Overall, a good stay at this campsite with some beautiful coastal views and within a very short walk to the coastal path. Plenty of space and privacy for each pitch. The facilities were clean and adequate, but felt a little basic for the cost. It was pretty windy every night and wet for a couple during our stay - obviously risk of rain is a part of camping, but I expect the wind is fairly constant at this site given the coastal location.

Spacious grass pitch
Off the beaten track this campsite is pure heaven. The pitches are big so you get a real private feel. The view is outstanding with spectacular sunsets and moonrise over the sea. Fire pits are provided at every pitch. The facilities are spot on with a unisex toilet and shower block including hot showers and freezer space for your ice blocks. Washing up area is always clean with recycling facilities. Dogs have a wonderful holiday here too 🧡🐾 Location is awesome with a 15 min walk to the wonderful Druidstone beach. Be sure to stop at the Druidstone hotel for a beer to watch the sunset. Food here is great too - make sure you book!! Kate is there if you need her which every time I’ve been there I’ve not had to as everything is so well managed in a hands off manner. Looking forward to our next visit already ⛺️🌅 🌊

Spacious grass pitch
We loved camping on Shortlands Farm! We were very lucky with the weather (May half term) and had clear, panoramic views of the sea throughout our stay. Nearest beach is a 5-10 minute walk, stoney shore, sand for miles at low tide, great for looking for crabs in rock pools! Happily spent most of our evenings around the campfire but if you do want to venture out The Druidstone Hotel is the nearest restaurant but was fully booked for the week already when we arrived. Looked fancy! Nice pubs in nearby Little haven (lovely long walk along the coastal path next to the campsite or short drive) Facilities were great, directions clear to follow but satnav was accurate anyway. Bit of a sea breeze on the site so wrap up if sitting out in the evenings!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Shortlands Farm. It is in an ideal location and it has every facility you could need without being ‘over catered for’ - it still feels like camping! The owners have combined basic practicalities with style and imagination in the design of the toilet/wash block and it leaves the field unspoiled and spacious with uninterrupted views across the wonderful coast. Thanks to the Ledwiths!

Could only get in for 1 night but will definitely be back!! Most generous pitch area we’ve stayed in! Very private and so clean there!! Facilities were always spotless and the owner helped us jump start our van with a dead battery which got us back on the road😁. Short walk to the beach which was beautiful. We will definitely be back.x

We've just returned from a week at Shortlands and would recommend the site with fantastic views, generous pitch sizes and lovely quiet beach within a short walk. The toilet and shower facilities were well maintained and clean with lots of hot water, with freezers for your cool box freezer packs and electricity to recharge phones, etc. The other people staying (17 pitches in total) were all well separated, and there was a very friendly vibe to the place. The weather wasn't particularly kind to us, it was mainly overcast and you are exposed to the wind here, so perhaps bring a wind break if you're coming and make use of the fire pits provided with each pitch.

Small campsite with generous pitch sizes arranged around large open area ideal for families. Lovely sandy beach a short walk away and easy access to coast path. Quiet roads, ideal for cycling. Owners were welcoming and helpful, facilities kept clean and well thought out recycling. Had a great holiday and would recommend to anyone looking for a coastal site. Despite no electricity at the pitches, there was a charging station in the facilities block which was most useful.

I stayed 5 nights at this site and was very impressed. The location allows views to the sea and fabulous sunsets. Each marked pitch gave loads of room and just 17 pitches on the main camping field. It was thus a laid back and quiet site. The bathroom facilities were always clean and there were more than enough showers and toilets. I never once had to wait. Effective recycling. Covid safe. There's a path that leads down towards the sea and it's a short walk to one of the few beaches in St Brides Bay. Plenty of walking is available of course on the Pembrokeshire coastal path. All the supermarkets are at Heverfordwest which is 15 minutes in the car. Great comms from the site owners. I would have loved to stay longer but there wasn't availability which is hardly surprising as the schools had broken up. Would I return? Definitely.

Very effective communication with the hosts & contact free check in. The location is stunning, high up with the sea views promised, watching the sunset over the sea with sundowners, camping chair & pit fire. What more could one want. Lovely clean showers, loos & washing up area. Beaches a short walk away. I will be back!

We recently stayed at Shortlands Farm in July, for 3 nights. On arrival you appreciate the amazing view from the campsite, perfect for sunsets in the evening. The shared facilities felt clean and safe during COVID times. Shared toilets and showers, sinks to wash up and lots of recycling bins which is nice to see. Also the option to freeze your blocks for a cool box which was a nice touch and definitely needed in our heat wave You are a five minute walk from the most beautiful little beach. We spent most days enjoying the sun and swimming in the ocean. The coastal path is also stunning for great views and bird watching. Our hosts sent a wonderful email with lots of stuff to do close by before our stay which we really appreciated. For our first trip to Wales we really couldn’t fault it. A wonderful affordable campsite in such a lush part of the country. We will definitely be back!

Just back from a really pleasant 2 night stay at Shortlands Farm campsite. A great spot just a stone’s throw away from the quiet, stunning Druidston Haven. Walks further a field to Broad Haven and Little haven with some good pubs and restaurants. The castle at little haven in particular great food and service at a good price. Ca 40mins walk along the coast path ideal to work up an appetite and help your digestion on the walk back. Stunning views and sunsets . Lucky with a hot dry spell for some perfect camping conditions too. Will definitely be back to this lovely well run campsite tucked away from it all with views of the sea all around.

This campsite is a short walk from one of the best beaches we found in Pembrokeshire (Druidston Haven). The facilities were cleaned twice a day and the family running it could not have been nicer. It's a great base to explore the incredible coastline, and peaceful too as they don't pack in the campers!

Amazing staff that are always at the end of the phone for anything you need. All COVID protocols are clear and we felt safe during our entire stay. Pitches are really spacious with amazing views all round the site, the amenities are perfect and kept in great condition! There is so much to do and it’s worth reading through the welcome email before arriving. The beach is a short walk from the site we were able to carry kayaks down there. We visited a few castles around the area all a short drive of no more than 30 minutes and are a really nice day out. We will definitely be returning!!

From the host
Shortlands Farm, Druidston, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, SA62 3NE Camping at Shortlands Farm is a friendly and laid back experience. We don’t have tons of rules, we just ask you to respect your fellow guests and keep noise to a minimum after 10pm. We are off the beaten track and cater mainly to families, couples and small groups of friends who enjoy a busy day of beach activities followed by a hot shower, BBQ, and an evening socialising with friends or family. Shortlands Farm is a family-friendly site and we welcome well-behaved dogs on leads. We have two camping fields, and one Caravan and Motorhome Club Certificated Location (members only) - all with sea views: Field one: 16 NON-ELECTRIC camping pitches for tents and small vans (no motorhomes/caravans) over one large field. Pitches are round the edge of the field which leaves space in the centre of the site for children – and adults – to play and form firm friendships. Field two: 8 ELECTRIC hook-up camping pitches for tents and vans/motorhomes (no caravans). These pitches are a bit further from the facilities (a walk across field one) for a more peaceful camping experience. The pitches are mown into the long grass to give a little more privacy and seclusion. Field three: 5 CARAVAN AND MOTORHOME CLUB Certificated Location pitches for members of the CAMC only. These pitches have electric hook-up and are closer to the facilities. The dramatic and dog friendly beach at Druidston Haven is a 15 minute walk away, and Broad Haven with its beach, shops, pubs, cafes and surf hire is a 45 minute stroll along the coast path. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path is a stone’s throw from the campsite. No visit to Shortlands Farm campsite would be complete without an evening of sitting round a campfire (a fire pit is provided on every camping pitch, but not on the CAMC CL) enjoying the incredible sunsets over St Brides Bay, followed by some stargazing. Non-electric camping is £12 per person per night, under 6s are free. Electric camping is £17.50 per person per night, under 6s are free. Caravan and Motorhome Club Electric CL (members only) is £12 per person per night, under 6s are free. During school holidays we operate a 3 night minimum stay. Each pitch is for up to 4 people but please but email us on [email protected] if you have any questions about this as we may be able to add to your booking.
Nearby attractions

Access to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path is 5 minutes from the farm. There are plenty of stunning beaches in the area too, with Druidston Haven the nearest, just a 10-15 minute stroll away. The medieval ruins and seaside charm of St Davids (Britain's smallest city!) is a 20 minute drive away. You'll find a wealth of aquatic activities to partake in here including coasteering, sea kayaking and, of course, surfing. For something a little more sedate, The Gallery at Oriel-Y-Parc is worth a visit, while a boat trip to Ramsey Island (01437 721 721) is also an unforgettable experience.

Food and drink

For fish and chips, The Shed (01348 831 518) in Porthgain takes some beating. The Really Wild Emporium in St Davids is the pick of the bunch for inventive, locally foraged dishes. The Druidstone Hotel (01437 781 221) restaurant boasts a decent menu of home-cooked dishes and some enviable views overlooking St Brides Bay, booking essential. The bar at The Druidstone Hotel is for guests and members only. MamGu Welshcakes in St Davids Cathrdral refectory serves delicious traditional and inventive welsh cakes, as well as dishes like cawl and their famous crempogs. For quaint little Pembrokeshire pubs, make the short trip to The Ship Inn (01437 721 247) at Solva – a CAMRA-award winning, harbourside – or The Cambrian Inn (01437 721210) also in Solva. For supplies, the nearest shop is Nolton Cross Farm Shop. In Broad Haven - either 5 minutes by car or a 40 minute walk along the coast path - there is a well stocked Londis with post office.
