Weekend Trip to Parke Farm Camping

Wonderful campsite With everything and more! So impressive Calm relaxed beautiful and everything provided which saves a lot of drama stress and worries when you’re there. As long as you can wake up And have coffee plus toilets showers and sunshine then what more do you need! Amazing!

Weekend Trip to Big Barn Camping

Excellent place with lovely camping spaces that are secluded and spacious. We had a great visit and Michael was a great host. We will definitely be booking again!

Weekend Trip to Livit, Glamping by the coast

Loved everything about the glamping at Lundy! Kitchen better equipped than most glamping experiences I've had- cooking oil, oatly milk, cafatiere, bbq and spare phone charger! My sons also did a 2 hour surf lesson and had an amazing experience on the waves! Loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. Recommend

Weekend Trip to Strawfields Cabins and Camping

We had a fantastic weekend celebrating birthdays in a beautiful location! Alex was a lovely host who gave us some great recommendations in the local area! All facilities are really well kept and modern + there are shops very close by for food/ drinks. I’d really recommend stopping by Marwood Milk for fresh milk in your morning coffee! We’d definitely recommend to a friend/ will hopefully return in the coming years!

Weekend Trip to Big Barn Camping

I booked the Dome as a friend's birthday gift, it was so lovely, it was away from the other campers, so we felt like v.i.p's. The location was perfect, 10 min drive to the beach. It had everything we needed. The host Michael, was fantastic, there to greet us and show us where to go, explained where everything was and to let him know if we needed anything, he even has a honesty box for fire wood and small supplies incase you have forgotten something. The bed was so comfy, with a table and chairs to sit and eat breakfast, there was plenty of room. We were able to have a campfire, which made the camping night perfect. I definitely would stay again! Thank you for a lovely stay!

2 nights at Sweet Hill Farm

Great views and quiet spot. Loved being surrounded by sea and horses. Campsite is very basic but clean and organised.

2 nights at Parke Farm Camping

We had a lovely two night stay at Parke Farm. The pitches were spacious and well kept and we liked the long grass between them to give a sense of privacy. It wasn't very busy so we were able to pick our pitch. It was a quiet site but family friendly. All the facilities were clean and there were flushing toilets, hot showers, washing up facilities, a fridge/freezer and even free tea and coffee in the morning. The little onsite shop is a bit pricey but does have anything you would likely need if you'd forgotten to pack it. Check in was easy and everyone on site was friendly and helpful. The location was brill and about ten minutes drive from Barafundle and Broad Haven. We would happily stay again.

1 night at Sweet Hill Farm

Lovely welcoming campsite. Easy access to beautiful coastal walks. Horses were a wonderful added bonus. Loved the rural feel. Will defo be coming back.

4 nights at Pittaford Farm

We had a fabulous 4 night camping trip on this wonderful small site. Secluded private pitches are mowed into the meadow. Fantastic hot showers and clean flushing toilets. Amazing views cooking supper overlooking the valley and neighbouring sheep. Sally and Paul were incredibly accommodating, and even facilitated a change of pitch to a more sheltered area when bad winds were forecast. The football pitch was a real hit and our son made lots of new friends. Free wifi a bonus. Nearby we enjoyed crabbing in Dartmouth and kayaking at the beautiful Blackpool sands beach. The beach cafe there is not to be missed!

Great Redford Camping

1 unit · Tent40 acres · Narberth, Wales

The camping field is off-grid, with far reaching rural views and has five spacious, gently sloping pitches, which allow a level of privacy. After a busy day adventuring or relaxing, you’ll be able to sit by the campfire and on a clear night be amazed at how many stars you can see and how vast our skies are. There is a stream in the pond at the bottom of the fields (it is not fenced and adults must supervise the children by the water at all times). The area by the stream has started to be planted with new trees and we are committed to planting many more. We are looking at other rewilding projects, while we continue to provide pastureland for the sheep to graze. The camping field is located down the road from the main caravan park. Please note we are in the countryside and street lighting is not available on the road please bring a torch and enjoy the beautiful uninterrupted night sky. Great Redford is nestled away in 25 acres of Pembrokeshire countryside. The site is off-grid, and has five spacious pitches. Each pitch has its own camp fire, and picnic table and we have 2 Portaloos in the camping field, but you do have full use of the heated washrooms with waterfall showers and automatic taps on Redford Caravan Park. The site is a car free zone, the car park is in the camp field and there are wheel barrows to transport your kit to and from your pitch. There is plenty of space for kids to run free too. Great Redford and Redford Caravan Park are both dog friendly parks, making it the perfect get away for the whole family.
