Dog-friendly caravan parks near St. Davids, Pembrokeshire

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.

1 night at Ffynnonwen Farm Wild Camping

What a beautiful place to camp. This was my first time camping and we picked such a lovely place to experience it for the first time. Mark was very welcoming and really helpful. We had a few choices of where we could pitch our tent which was nice. We were very lucky with the weather as well. Beautiful views for a sunset & sunrise. We enjoyed waking up to peace & quiet (minus the farm animals which we were quite content with ☺️) There is a shower room & toilet which is ideal after a days hiking! We would recommend Marks farm to friends & family and would camp there again.

Cwmffrwd Farm is a magical place. Somewhere we definitely want to come back to. The campsite is peaceful and beautiful. Pridie is a wonderful host running farm and campsite in harmony with nature with composting loos and no vehicles on the field. The sauna is a hidden jem we enjoyed enormously on a rather wet and windy day. Magic!

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

There is a great view beyond but it’s only really viewable from the upper camps which are for tents only. Not much of a view of the surrounding area for campervans but the wildflower meadow itself is lovely Vans will need leveling blocks as it is on a slope for the most part. The Host was lovely and was very accommodating and allowed us to use more space than allocated as they were not very busy over glasto weekend. I would recommend it, it’s a lovely fairly priced nature escape with everything you need.

I stayed for 2 nights in my camper with my dog. I was so lucky to have this site all to myself on the first night, and was treated to the most beautiful sunset across the wild flower field. Loved the eco-friendly toilet and shower set up, and Jessamy was super fast to check in and provide information, and to come to my rescue after managing to dislodge the shower! A really lovely spot, perfectly located for visiting Hafren Forest and a stones throw from the lovely town of Llanidloes.

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

This is a really lovely campsite. The pitches are far apart around a beautiful meadow with amazing views. We spotted lots of wildlife in the meadow (grasshoppers and butterflies) and up high (birds of prey). Pirdie is friendly and very knowledgeable, she recommended a wonderful walk to some waterfalls that was just right for our young children. Facilities are clean, there is one shower and flushing toilet in the same bathroom, the rest are compost loos, so it is more of a back to basics vibe, but this was great for us and more than worth it for how peaceful and spacious the site is. We would love to come back.

90km from St. Davids · 11 units · Tents, Motorhomes · L Ampeter

We are a small, peaceful. secluded campsite bordered by woodland and a stream, set amidst the wildlife country of the Ceredigion countryside on the edge of the Cambrian mountains. With only 20 camping pitches and 'The Bothy' shepherd's hut, Teifi Meadows is a place to relax, unwind and appreciate the calming beauty of nature. This is a dark sky zone with stunning celestial views on clear nights, and near-zero light pollution as well as pristine air and water quality. Our guests tend to appreciate the quiet stillness here and we don't have a lot of disturbances...so all you will hear is the wind, the birds, the rushing streams and perhaps the odd cow! :) Everyone, even the cynical, should have a little romance in their lives. Especially if it includes a scenic setting with easy access to local pubs (a holiday extra that thaws the icy hearts of the cynical even more than blazing sunsets). Teifi Meadows should warm the battery of your camera as well as the cockles of your heart: this is wildlife country – look out for red kites overhead – in the midst of the greenery of the Ceredigion countryside, and close to the walks, dolphin spotting and beaches of the stunning west coast and Cardigan Bay. National Trust sites, River Teifi fishing and canoeing, mountain pony trekking, Roman gold mines and blooming great gardens are in the area too. Lampeter, about three miles away, has plenty of food shops, independent stores and a farmers’ market, and the pub at Cellan, also three miles away, serves food and Sunday lunches - another romantic highlight…

Lovely wild camping pitches on the North Devon coastline. You will be one of a maximum of 6 pitches in a large field on the beautiful North Devon coast with incredible sea views. We can provide a firepit to borrow and you can purchase logs onsite so you can stargaze and chatter around the fire - back to nature! We are based just outside the pretty hamlet of Martinhoe in North Devon, a stone's throw from the SW Coast Path. There is a historic Roman Beacon closeby and plenty of wildlife around, we'd be surprised if you didn't see deer in the neighbouring fields! There is a compost loo and a water point, but no electricity / wifi - delightfully off-grid. Situated on an organic working farm this is the perfect place to escape!

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.
