1 night at Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Such a great site! Nestled on the mountainside, very natural setting, fire pits and special flat areas for vans. Host was so very welcoming and friendly. Exactly what I'd hoped to find. The walks directly from camp were stunning, lots of different routes to choose from. For families there were self-guided nature activities on site too. Will definitely be going back!

Weekend Trip to Eden's Nook

Lovely and peaceful and the hosts could not do enough for you.

2 nights at Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

We loved camping here! Pridie was super friendly and very informative about her land and surroundings. She took the time to chat with us and made us feel very welcomed. The Land is beautiful and can’t wait to come again the summer.

1 night at Eden's Nook

Lovely welcome. Great facilities for this small and quiet site. Have the option for a cooked breakfast is a great option.

4 nights at Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Oh my goodness. This site was simply magical. We were blessed with beautiful weather, but I’m sure no amount of rain could take away from this beautiful place. Pridie clearly loves and cares for her land. The pitches are large and well laid out, maximising privacy, it was quiet when we were there but I imagine it never feels “busy.” A fire pit is a great addition and the wood bundle was brilliant value for money. The composting loos were fab, the shower facilities basic but clean and hot! Washing facilities were great with eco-friendly washing up liquid provided. Plugs with USB in the Byre (where washing facilities are) for charging your tech (but hardly any signal - bliss.) We missed Pridie’s walk but overheard a bit of one and chatting with her she is clearly extremely knowledgeable about the land she cares for and I would definitely sign up for a walk next time we go. So many beautiful walks on your doorstep, with helpful walks highlighted in the Byre for you to explore, which was really helpful and led to us discovering some stunning walks nearby. This will be one of the very rare sites which we will revisit.

3 nights at Glan Y Mor Camping

Beautiful, peaceful campsite with lovely hosts and great location-walking distance to Pembroke through a pretty woodland. Facilities were immaculate and the shower was hot and powerful. A lovely communal area with a fridge, plug sockets, seating and firepit. We absolutely loved it here!

2 nights at Graig Wen - Wild Snowdonia Escapes

Straightforward check in and clear instructions given prior to arrival. All the stuff that you need is readily available. And the view waa splendid.

1 night at Smugglers Cove Boatyard

Absolutely beautiful place, such a perfect setup for the night, I was just passing though so I didn’t do much or stay long but I’d love to go back for longer.

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Beautiful views and incredibly peaceful setting. Pridie was super welcoming and friendly. I can imagine that if the site was busy then the facilities would be in high demand, there is only one shower and it's in the same room as the only flushing toilet (there are two eco loos in the camping fields) but it was no problem when we stayed.

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

We absolutely love camping on Pridie and James’ land, it was perfect back to basic camping, compost loo and shower/wash room, plenty of space and outstanding views. We will 100% be returning especially when the sauna is built! This campsite was so peaceful and welcoming! The horse and sheep in the meadows next to your pitch are just incredible! Also worth getting a box or two of wood as the fires in the evening just top the day of perfectly! If you want a lovely refreshing weekend I can’t recommend this site enough! We didn’t want to leave!

Weekend Trip to Spring Field Dark Skies Eco Camp

Our first time camping as a family, which was all very ad hoc because we had bought a 2nd hand textbox classic on the same day and were looking where to try it out on the way back to mid Wales. Gorgeous views, and James was so lovely and approachable and we felt very welcome. He even spent time after we left searching for our daughter's lost gingerbread man toy (which has only just turned up safely at home!). The views over the plains and hills were astonishing and the toilets on site really clean and nice to use. Lots of lovely places to walk nearby as well. Thank you James for making our 1st camping so great!

Weekend Trip to Spring Field Dark Skies Eco Camp

Loved my stay - the view is incredible and worth it for that alone. It was a last minute booking to make the most of the sun but I’ll absolutely be back for a longer stay. It’s a small field with pitches around the perimeter, and as a solo camper I felt extremely safe. James was lovely too!

Weekend Trip to Glan Y Mor Camping

Really lovely campsite, perfectly sized & super friendly hosts. A lovely welcome! Very clean facilities & thoughtful provisions for guests to access i.e. kettle / hand soap etc. Pitch was really quiet of an evening & surrounded by woods, though a short walk into town for pub food. Ideal & would absolutely return!

Weekend Trip to Plas yn Llangoed

Lovely site, great location, facilities and pitches. Super friendly host. The communal kitchen / fire pit area is such a great idea.

1 night at Pentwyn Dingle and Lodge Field Camp

We spent two nights in a lovely spot by the woods and river, so quiet and peaceful. Tucked away from everything and everyone, just what we wanted! Martin is so friendly and very accomodating, we will definitelty be back soon.

2 nights at Eden's Nook

Eden's Nook is such a peaceful campsite..full of birds during the day and star viewing at night. The facilities are great, including the barbeque hut and Jane and Neville couldn't have been more helpful. And Jane's breakfast is delicious! We'll be back!

Weekend Trip to Mynydd Mawr

2nd time camping here and I hope to stay again. Toilets were spotless and checkin was easy. This place is all about the views. Stunning sunsets and bird watching

2 nights at Eden's Nook

Eden’s Nook is a beautiful retreat from day to day life, with everything you could want for a comfortable stay. I got a warm welcome on arrival and shown around the site, being the only one booked I was able to fully enjoy the indoor fire pit and bbq, the excellent showers and stunning scenery (the clear sky was something very special)! The site is well equipped with anything you might have forgotten and the hosts are lovely and helpful.

Weekend Trip to Eden's Nook

Incredible camping experience. The owners couldn't have been any more helpful and friendly. The toilets and showers are extremely clean and warm. Amazing views. Absolute pleasure staying here. Also the breakfast was perfect, I highly recommend you try it!

Red Sky at Night Campsite

11 units · Motorhomes, Tents10 acres · Monmouth, Wales

If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see at least one of the amazing sunsets at Red Sky at Night Campsite near Monmouth – but if you don’t, there’s mighty compensation in the shape of the spectacular views from just about everywhere on the site. And of course, on clear nights, the night skies are diamond-bright with stars - we are under one of Wales' Dark Sky Reserves! This family-run camping field on a livestock farm is managed on very laidback lines. Pitch up wherever you like and feel free to park by your tent (weather permitting). Raised campfires are allowed and you can hire firepits and grills (the owners sell local eggs & sausages) and buy bags of wood & kindling. You can bring your dogs too (take them for walks in the adjoining woods) but just be sure to keep them on a lead. Kids are certainly carefully looked after here. Get a fact sheet on arrival and join mini-campers in wildlife hunts through the trees, looking out all the while for buzzards and red kites. Round and about the site, your offspring can entertain themselves on rope swings, making dens and following a mini-tractor course across the camping field. There’s also a football pitch. Wild camping this may be (there’s no electricity on site, please note) but there are two nicely designed compost loos and a covered sink areas with fresh water tap. So bring your guitar, light that fire, break out the barbecue and enjoy the chilled vibe.
