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.

2 nights at Pytingwyn Woods

Brilliant location and everything it was described as. Would definitely come back.

2 nights at Eden's Nook

Beautiful site every thing you could ask for. Perfect hosts, perfect setting. Definitely a must

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! :-)

Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

My 8 year old loves making dens and bases and has heard about wild camping that my wife and I used to do and wanted to do some himself. Since he isn’t quite up to a proper expedition at his age I went looking for a campsite where we could give him a taste of it and found this place. We camped in the woods within a few metres of the river. We cooked over fires and slept under a tarp shelter between trees, boiled water from the river and in his eyes lived in the wilderness for a couple of days. Just what we were after.

2 nights at Henbant Permaculture Farm + Camp

Family of four, kids 3 & 7, enthusiastic campers looking for ambiance, privacy, nature, good food and a roaring fire - Henbant PC did not disappoint. Bothered me and my wife get that it was the best campsite, for our set of preferences, we’ve ever been to. Keep it up, folks, we will be back!

3 nights at Mynydd Mawr

Loved it here. The site was really quiet and chilled. Quality walks from the site with amazing views. Tons of wildlife and easy to get to lots of beaches. The owner was sound and we had a top time 😀

2 nights at Red Sky at Night Campsite

We loved our time there. Beautiful view. Family friendly. Good communication. Very close to cider farm, castles and ice cream farm so a very good spot for us. Have to plan for no shower on site but that adds to the fun.

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.

2 nights at Henbant Permaculture Farm + Camp

A blissful retreat from day to day life. An idyllic little hideaway with the warmest of welcomes. I loved the undercover barn areas with books and games, sofas and tables, tea and coffee. We really enjoyed opportunity to get stuck in on the farm and help with the veg patch. We stayed in a campervan pitch with glorious sea views and short stroll to compost loo. Wish we'd brought a mallet though as ground was sandy/stony and really tricky for pegging out our awning. Pitch is exposed, so bare that in mind if pitching any tent/awning and bring a mallet!!

4 nights at Glan Y Mor Camping

We loved staying at Glan-Y-Mor. It is a very well landscaped site with nice pitches and a beautiful wood where the kids had a whale of a time. I appreciated the kettles, and the bathroom was perfect... it definitely ups the ante brushing your teeth listening to classical music!

5 nights at Bwch Yn Uchaf

It’s a beautiful campsite, lovely level field the river was gorgeous and our children loved playing in the little stream by the edge of the field. The toilets and showers were kept clean. Gareth was really friendly and even came to the rescue with jump leads.

3 nights at Glan Y Mor Camping

Lovely site, great facilities and all in all a really relaxed stay

Weekend Trip to Panpwnton Campsite

Lovely campsite, in a lovely setting. 10 min walk into Knighton, 30 minute drive to Llandrindod Wells. Fire pits available to hire, lovely toilet/shower block. I’m sure we will be back 😀

Weekend Trip to Parke Farm Camping

This place is absolutely amazing!! Large pitches with perimeter of long grass for privacy, trimmed to perfection! Lots of thoughtful touches that made our weekend great!

4 nights at Gwersyllt Rhos y Gallt Campsite

What a brilliant stay from start to finish. John the owner is such a lovely guy and goes out of his way to help wherever possible. The site is very clean and is surrounded by a beautiful countryside with a lovely river (shallow) in the bottom field for you to paddle in. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here it's perfect

Weekend Trip to Parke Farm Camping

Weekend Trip to Springfield Farm & Wild Camping

Maxine was lovely, even lending us a rain coat as we’d forgotten to pack one, lovely produce available for cooking, and such a great location with little walks down to broad haven for coffee food and a local shop and also a short walk to little haven with a number of pubs, really enjoyed walking the coastal path from Maxine’s lovely site

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.

Weekend Trip to Henbant Permaculture Farm + Camp

Fantastic place, very windy (we went on a particularly wet and windy weekend) it's beautiful and the barn/communal firepit area is fantastic. Facilities are great, everything well thought out. We had a blast despite the weather. Definitely coming back!

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.
