Crymych, Wales · 3 units · Tents, Motorhomes
Waunbayvil wild camping. A teeny pop up campsite for private groups. Come alone or bring friends and family.
Just 10 mins drive from the sea at Ceibwr on the Pembrokeshire coast.
The space
Waunbayvil camping is set in its own secluded spot on 40 acres of private wildland and woodlands in the Pembrokeshire national Park, with a pond and views of the stunning landscape. It is the perfect getaway, a place to re-connect with nature and your loved ones in the most peaceful place away from it all. This is not a big campsite with lots of other people, you can book one of 3 seperate fields for a private group, or otherwise, only 2 or 3 families very spread out at a time.
The pitches are set out with plenty of space in between. There is parking for cars or campervans with nothing but nature all around you. We also have a small hard standing area for campervan.
There is a shared compost loo, a washing up area, and an off grid shower shack. It is set in the most beautiful surroundings, teaming with wild life and filled with wild orchids and many different species of grasses and wildflowers. It is unique and a treat for people who love natural habitat. The sea is about two miles away where there are spectacular cliff walks for many miles on the Pembrokeshire coast path, and beautiful beaches for swimming.
Bring logs and kindling with you. (Can be bought from any garage)
If you bring a cool box we can top you up with frozen ice packs. Just ask.
NO LOUD PARTIES
Guest access
Acres of land and woodland, compost loo, shower hut, pond.
Other things to note
40 acres of meadows, wildlife habitat and woods which guests are welcome to roam. You can walk down the track and visit the artists gallery and shop in the big blue barn.
"A great site for those who like to be on their own in the wilds. Great way to enjoy easy access to some of the best coast line in Britain . Amazing art work too!" Jenny

Llandysul, Wales · 8 units · Tents, Motorhomes, Glamping
Ffynnonwen is the perfect spot to reconnect with nature and nourish your soul. We're a quiet site with dark skies and campfires, so you can relax in peace and tranquillity whilst watching the butterflies or stargazing at night.
We're a tiny camping and glamping site with just 5 camping pitches, a traditional Mongolian Yurt and 2 bell tents. Our pitches are all surrounded by flowering grasses and wild flowers and each have their own sunken fire pit. You can explore the winding paths where you might happen upon a hammock for an afternoon snooze or even some fairies (if you tiptoe!)...
We have compost toilets, a shower with unlimited hot water and a shared fridge and freezer. The camping area is car free after set up.
We're just 3 miles from the beautiful Ceredigion beaches and some great walks along the Wales Coastal path.
We can't wait to share our little corner of Wales with you!

Meadowsweet Farm
11. Meadowsweet Farm
England · 25 units · Tents, Motorhomes
Meadowsweet farm is a rustic and peaceful sustainable family farm on the north Devon coast.
A five-minute drive to Saunton Sands; 15 minutes to Barnstaple.
Communal campfire and portable fire troughs are permitted
Close access to the Tarka Trail.
This site is a fast-track route back to nature five minutes’ drive from Saunton Sands and 15 minutes from Barnstaple. It's a place where the peace, sea breeze and sustainability mingle together to create a rural camping experience on a small eco-friendly farm.
If surfing ranks high on the list for your trip, you’ll be well set with the local swell on several sandy beaches within 20 minutes’ drive. And if walking or cycling is your favourite pursuit, you can head out over the sand dunes (a great setting for watching the sunset) or walk right onto the lengthy Tarka Trail for a self-guided cycling and walking tour over Devon’s cliffs and coves.
Friendly guests should find some good chat on site, as social and sensible souls can make use of the communal firepits (with wood available from the farm). And for when you feel like quality family time or gathering in a close-knit group, there are also portable fire troughs.
With no electricity, this off-grid site will take you nicely back to basics, with just simple facilities such as toilets, sinks and hot showers on site.
When you want to head into town, Braunton (five minutes’ drive) has several restaurants and a supermarket for food and a selection of pubs for a tipple. Surf shops, bike hire and guided nature walks with a local botanist are available too.

Gorgeous views and facilities, albeit basic, are kept to a fantastic standard. Would highly recommend. However, please bear in mind that as you have basically a cliff top pitch this does mean that you are open to the elements. Wind battered our tents and unfortunately had to leave earlier than planned which was the same for other campers. Obviously this is of no fault of the site itself or the owners who maintain it to a brilliant standard.

Beautiful camp site! It was our second year coming here and we will be back. The hosts were amazing! Super friendly and helpful. The site was well kept, clean and tidy. The facilities are great and again well kept, clean and tidy.
It was lovely to have brought the dogs this time. They also enjoyed themselves.
Thank you both for a wonderful stay and I’m sure we will see you next year :) x

What an amazing campsite! Perched on top of the cliff, it offers breathtaking sea views and is the perfect place for a romantic getaway. You couldn't ask for a better spot to sit back and watch the sunset.
The facilities were spotless, with hot showers, flushing toilets, and a well-maintained dishwashing area. I especially loved the little touches, like the flowers and paintings around the facilities. They made the whole place feel so warm, welcoming, and full of character.
One tip: check the weather before you book. Because the campsite is right on top of the cliff, it can get very windy, so make sure you bring a tent that's suitable for those conditions.
And I can't forget to mention our lovely neighbours, the sheep! They were a charming addition to an already unforgettable stay.
We'll definitely be back!

We loved this beautifully set out campsite. We stayed in the middle field in our campervan for 4 nights. Secret spot camping is a little gem and just what we love, plenty of space, clean facilities, friendly hosts and last but not least - beautiful gardens with plenty of little resting places to enjoy the wild life and pond.
We recommend this highly

Lovely campsite with stunning views across the clifftop. The facilities were excellent, with proper loos and showers which were kept clean and stocked up. We were able to hire a fire pit, which was great to sit around in the evening.
Check in/check out was super easy.
Beautiful walks can be done straight from the campsite.
We will definitely be back and would 100% recommend.
