Mountain campsites near Saundersfoot

·

Often mentioned in the same breath as Tenby, its bigger seaside resort cousin just along the southern Pembrokeshire Coast National Park shoreline, Saundersfoot has a more laid-back vibe. It has a generous sandy beach and all the expected small resort trappings (decent eats, amusements, kitschy seaside shops, and more). Excellent walking can be found along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, both to Amroth and Tenby. The most convenient Saundersfoot campsites are up to a mile west and southwest of the centre, away from the coast, although some spectacularly poised campsites sit near the coast path above tempestuous Monkstone Beach.

Our beautiful home is a glamping and camping site with its own gorgeous fishing lake on the outskirts of the village of Llandyfan. You can find us to the west of the Brecon Beacons or Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. Llandyfan Campsite has been lovingly re-established in early 2024 by Andy and Jo. Since taking ownership, we have rolled up our sleeves and got stuck into restoring it to its former glory and will soon be back to being a fully operational slice of Welsh heaven. Our first focus has been the fishing lake which we opened in March. The campsite followed in May. We are currently working on electric hook ups and other improvements. We have chickens on site that roam free during the day. They are friendly and like to wander around the tents to say hello to our guests! We would like everyone who visits to have a great time and a relaxing break. Whilst here please be considerate towards others, to their property, and while using the facilities. If you have any concerns, please let us know. We have brought out a few rules from our T&Cs and we kindly ask that you have a read through before your stay. Litter: You must pick up your litter. Please either take it with you or recycle it appropriately in the bins onsite. There are bins around the campsite, please recycle where possible. Pitches to be left as you found them. Noise: Be respectful and consider your neighbours. Keep noise to a minimum after 10pm and before 8am in the morning. No loud music is to be played at any time. Children: Children must be supervised at all times around the campsite and can play within the pitch space allocated to you. At quiet times, it may be possible for children to use vacant pitches for play but this cannot be guaranteed. The amenity block and associated facilities are not to be used as a play area. Dogs: Must not to be left unattended. Are to be kept on leads at all times whilst on the campsite. (We are working on an enclosed dog walking area, however this is not yet available). no refunds on bookings if cancelled withing 10days of booking

Gwersyllfa Glyndŵr Campsite is a small, peaceful, family run and adult only site for walkers and cyclists. Located within walking distance of the historical market town of Machynlleth, we're a great base for exploring all that rural Mid West Wales has to offer. We're on the Glyndŵr National Walking Trail and the Wales Coast Path. There are many cycling trails of all levels nearby - from the Lon Las and Dyfi Bike Park to Ystwyth and Elan Trails. A short bus ride from us are the Snowdonia National Park, Cader Idris and beautiful beaches of Cardigan Bay. Our guests love the outdoors but like a little relaxation at the end of a day's activities, so we offer a some home comforts in the communal camping facilities barn which has a kitchenette with fridge, kettle, microwave and washing up area as well as an indoor seating area on the mezzanine level. Hot showers and toilets are available in the wet rooms also situated in the barn. You can unwind under the stars in the communal campfire area next to the camping field. There's an outdoor sink on the camping field for cleaning muddy gear and a place to clean your bike if needed. The nearby town offers independent shops, an art gallery and historical buildings. There are plenty of places to eat and drink, grocery shops and a petrol station where you can top up on supplies. You'll get the best of both worlds at this secluded campsite which overlooks the Dyfi Valley's stunning scenery whilst being within stone's throw of local amenities.

Mountain campsites near Saundersfoot guide

Where to go

South Pembrokeshire

This is the most popular part of the national park to visit. Fanning out beyond perfectly positioned resorts like Saundersfoot and Tenby, pulling in crowds keen to see the area’s beaches, South Pembrokeshire brings tranquillity to spots like the castle-flanked surfers’ favourite Manorbier, the seabird sanctuary of Elegug Rock Stacks, and vast Freshwater Bay. Manorbier and Freshwater East have quiet sites where you can pitch near gorgeous, wild beaches.

St Davids & Around

Referred to as a “thin” place by ancient Britons, where the gap between earth and heaven was supposedly small, the St Davids area remains a special, spiritual locale. Britain’s westernmost city, St Davids sits 33 miles northwest of Saundersfoot. The craggy grasslands around the city sport several scenic campsites near both modern conveniences and the shores of bizarre rock formations.

Carmarthenshire

Saundersfoot’s location in East Pembrokeshire means the far-less-visited county of Carmarthenshire is within easy reach. Huge sandy beaches, lush agricultural land, rambling rolling hills, and authentic insights into Welsh farming life define the region. Plenty of Carmarthenshire camping sits along the coast (between Pendine and Laugharne), but the most interesting camping within easy reach is in the hilly forests of Brechfa Forest, a mountain biking Mecca about 35 miles northeast of Saundersfoot.

When to go

Pembrokeshire’s main tourist season runs from Easter to the end of September, when most regional campsites shut down (though some caravan sites are open year-round). Weather can be wet at any time, but April, May and September often yield the year’s sunniest, driest weather. SaundersFEST, a July live music extravaganza, is also a great time to visit.
