4 nights at Glan Y Mor Camping
We loved our stay in The Bunker at Glan y Mor! The bunker itself was spacious enough for the two of us, warm, and the bed was very cosy. It was stocked with everything we needed for cooking, and the wood stove inside was a nice touch. Its location on the campsite also made it feel more private, which was great. The firepit outside the bunker and handy access to firewood really added to our stay.
The campsite is nicely landscaped and set out, and maintains a natural woodland area. The amenities are well laid out, well maintained and high quality. The radio playing ClassicFM in the toilet block was a nice touch. There is a communal fridge and firepit, as well as other basics such as a kettle. The campsite was quiet - we had no issues with noise even though the site was busy throughout our stay.
Cath and Adam were friendly and responsive, welcoming us to the campsite and recommending us nearby places to visit.
The campsite is within easy walking distance within the centre of Pembroke Dock, and is also centrally located to a range of points of interest in the region, making it a great base during your stay.

Weekend Trip to Upper House Farm Glamping
Fantastic weekend at Upper House Farm glamping. We stayed at the Mountain View Bell tent. Pleasant surprise to see a picnic bench and extendable parasol, which weren't mentioned in the listing. Very comfortable double bed. Great that you have a camping stove, pots and pans, cutlery and crockery. Very thoughtful of the owners to have a bottle of water, wood and kindling. Stunning view of the Black mountains from the field and the stars at night were really a sight to behold. Would highly recommend. You'd be hard pressed to find anything else like this anywhere for an absolute bargain price

Absolutely delightful stay steeped in the quiet rolling hills of Carmarthenshire. The dome is set away from the rest of the site so you're surrounded by fields and woodland. Michael is a very attentive and lovely host. The dome felt very spacious even with 4 of us in it. Beds were super comfy and we loved having a campfire into the evening. The showers and compost toilets were some of the best we've used as seasoned campers. We loved the ducks and chicks and the butterflies in the lavender and dancing through the fields. A beautiful place to find peace and rest. Thank you Michael 🙂

Have already recommended this place to friends. We had a lovely stay in the sunshine. The hut is has everything you need in a compact but unsquashy space. Enjoyed some fine walks and a super day out in Ruthin. We'd also recommend the Red Lion for a visit. Ruth & Jude were both very helpful and welcoming. I'm sure we'll come back.

I had a wonderful stay in this charming shepherd’s hut nestled in a peaceful meadow. The hut was beautifully equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable and cozy getaway. The surrounding area was lovely, with fruit to pick and plenty of space for the dogs, who absolutely loved it! The hosts were fabulous—friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend this little gem for a relaxing countryside retreat.

Farm glamping near Pwllheli guide
Where to go
Llyn Peninsula
The Llyn Peninsula fans out from Pwllheli: a tranquil, green finger of land protruding 30 miles into the sea from the rest of North Wales. Many of North Wales’ best beaches are here, as is the good surfing at Abersoch and Porth Neigwl. Walking is wonderful too, with the Wales Coast Path skirting the shore. Excellent campsites are scattered across the Llyn: the mini-peninsula immediately beyond Aberdaron and the southwestern tip of the Llyn are especially good.
Morfa Harlech & Morfa Dyffryn
More superlative shoreline awaits just beyond the Llyn Peninsula on the east side of Tremadog Bay, headlined by Morfa Harlech NNR’s tremendous wildlife-rich dune systems and Morfa Dyffryn’s vast sands. A skyline featuring Snowdonia’s pointy summits, the Llyn’s sand-flanked coast and mighty, Unesco-listed Harlech Castle edges the miles of paradisiacal beach, making for a mesmerising place to pitch. Try tenting up on Shell Island, north of Morfa Dyffryn, one of Europe’s biggest campsites with 300 allocated acres of camping.
Snowdon & Around
Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) is among the UK’s most popular outdoor destinations—and Britain’s highest land south of the Scottish Highlands. Gateway village Llanberis, from where trails and a railway run up the peak, is 27 miles northeast of Pwllheli, though other paths lead onto Snowdon from Beddgelert, just 20 miles northeast. While Snowdon is busy, plot a hike away from it and you’ll discover glorious, less-frequented mountain country.
When to go
Like much of North Wales, Pwllheli is close enough to Snowdonia’s mountains to receive its fair share of awful weather. July and August are the warmest months; October through December is the wettest period. For campers and yachters, July brings the calmest weather of the year. Surfers will want to consider the months with big swells—November to April—although many campsites are only open in the April to September tourist season.
