Campsites with campfires near St. Davids

·

Ancient Britons dubbed the St Davids area a “thin” place, where the gap between Earth and Heaven was small. Rimmed in a shoreline of bizarre rock formations, deep coves, and dreamy fishing villages, this is still a spiritual spot: full of millennia-old burial mounds and the end point of a major mediaeval pilgrimage route. A feeling of serenity remains, and there is no better way to experience this than camping out on the crag-dotted grasslands around Britain’s westernmost city, St Davids itself. Clock the exquisite cathedral and other historic sights, take a boat trip, or wander for hours from bay to clifftop to charming seaside settlement along the coast path winding right around the region.

12km from St. Davids · 10 units · Tents, Motorhomes
Secluded camping, campfires, coast and country. Head west through Wales to the coast and somewhere by the south east corner of Ireland is the beautiful region of Pembrokeshire. Halfway between the smallest cathedral city in the realm and the site of the last invasion of Britain by their Gallic neighbours is the idyll of Sir Benfro. Once in Trevine or Trefin, there is a long bumpy lane with no tarmac. Watch that sat nav go into the blue, and you too can be Ar y Mwny. Make your camp nestled on a gentle hillside, with panoramic views of the sea and countryside. Located just about as far away from any roads as its possible to get in this part of Pembrokeshire, yet still only a short walk to the coast via footpaths. Being situated amongst several hundred acres of farmland, we not only have inspirational views but also the blessing of unobstructed sunrises and sunsets, followed by a wide open starscape. Its possible to take the wildlife for granted, but across the seasons we can delight in the bird flocks, and casually greet the resident buzzards and foxes and the family of Jac y Do that have raised their young here over several decades. And now, the little birds are managing to flourish too. We live here in harmony, and are thankful for the space. Forget that clock. For each pitch there is: Drinking Water Taps Stone Firepit with Old Field Stones to rebuild your own if required. Good firewood available to buy by the basket. Toilets and Showers, currently consisting of: A main toilet block with three toilets with wash basins - each in family-sized rooms. A Ty Bach Toilet Cubicle (water flushing, not chemical). A main shower block with a hot shower and toilet - our own Blue Lagoon cabin. A hot power shower and toilet enclosure. Also available are: A utility room for hot washing up, and a wash and dry laundry option. Fridge / Freezers for ice packs and anything else you might wish to keep cool. A microwave, and phone charging lockers. Recycling Centre with Bins for rubbish and Recycling Boxes that get Emptied Toilet Cassette Emptying and rinsing Facility if you need Electrical Appliances ( phones, lanterns, batteries etc ) may be Charged for Free.

Campsites with campfires near St. Davids guide

Where to go

Whitesands Bay & St Davids Head

St Davids’ go-to sandy beach is 2.5 miles northwest of the city. It’s a popular place with swimmers and surfers alike, but big enough to absorb the crowds. The campsites here are all on or just off the approach road, below the rocky hill of Carn Lidli. Hit the beach, hike the many footpaths or discover the fascinating ancient history of St Davids Head to the bay’s north.

St Justinian’s & Around

St Justinian’s really is the end of the road—as far west as you can go in Wales—and is a secluded place to camp, despite being under 2 miles from St Davids. The grassy pitches here invariably scoop big sea views. There is a clutch of campsites off the quiet lane from St Davids down to the pier from where boats go to isolated Ramsey Island, a nature reserve.

St Bride’s Bay

This large bay curving south of St Davids, flanked either side by Ramsey and Skomer Islands, is a wild romp of craggy cliffs and sandy coves known as ‘havens’. The hiking is excellent, with the whole thing linked by the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, and there are several cute-as-a-button fishing villages. There are campsites all the way around.

When to go

The main tourist season is Easter through September, with early May and September seeing less crowds than the main holiday season, despite overall promising just as much chance of sunny, dry weather. This is Wales though, so come prepared for rain and cool temperatures any time! St Davids’ Cathedral Festival of classical music in late May makes an atmospheric time to visit.
