The Hide

Set down a quiet lane in the heart of Pembrokeshire, The Hide is an off grid campsite offering the chance for campers to fully immerse themselves in nature. Surrounded by tall trees, beautiful sea views and with its very own bird hide, wildlife and nature are at the forefront of everything here at this lovely, relaxing site. By day, relax and unwind at the campsite or head out and enjoy the vast array of spectacular beaches just a few minutes away by foot. In the evening, enjoy stargazing by the campfire in the darkest of night skies. The pitches have fantastic sea views and are mown into long grass, so each has bags of privacy and seclusion, and - with only a handful of pitches - The Hide never feels overcrowded. Each pitch has its own kitchenette as well as a private composting toilet, picnic table and campfire. Whether you are a keen birdwatcher, surf enthusiast or enjoy hiking the nearby trails, there is plenty here for all the family.

Preseli Glamping

Woodland glamping and meadow camping at its very best here. Tucked into the gorgeous north Pembrokeshire coast in Wales, Preseli Glamping is a small campsite with spectacular sea views and pitches set among woodland glades and grassy meadows. It is a peaceful retreat, surrounded by flora and fauna and well off the beaten track.

Celtic Camping

Celtic Camping is a rustic campsite set in 250 acres of open farmland, providing campers with space to breathe, reconnect, explore, discover, play and relax whilst being surrounded by jaw dropping views across the Pembrokeshire coastline. The panoramic sea views and glorious sunsets are visible from most pitches, and the Pembrokeshire coastal path is accessible from the campsite; meaning nature-spotting walks are literally on the doorstep. This unspoilt campsite welcomes all, from tents to motorhomes; electric hook-ups are available for those who need it or there is the option of a more wild affair if you don't; there are several fields to choose from and you can pick "your own corner of Pembrokeshire" as the owners so beautifully put it. And while they have plans afoot for their own glamping accommodation, for now Celtic Camping are offering the option to book a bell tent through their partner company - Nights Under Canvas - who hire out these magnificently shaped tents, leaving you without the hassle of having to pack and pitch anything.

Some of the glamping accommodation has private hot tubs, so you can sit back in the bubbles, drink bubbly, spot a dolphin and watch the sun go down over Fishguard Bay. Wow.

Ffynnonddewi Campsite

Set 10 acres of stunning countryside, Ffynnonddewi is a rural and secluded campsite where you will find yourself surrounded by nature. It is old fashioned and "camping like it used to be" here, but don't think for a minute this means basic; they have a new amenities block with hot showers and flushing toilets, 4G mobile phone reception (on most networks) and fast wi-fi across the site for those that need to keep in touch with the outside world. Located a mile from the pretty harbour of Solva and close to the city of St Davids and the award winning beach at Newgale, you are perfectly located for exploring the St Davids peninsular and wider Pembrokeshire. Nature lovers can spot buzzards, red kites, tawny and little owls - all of which hunt on the campsite land, along with a couple of families of foxes and badgers. The traditional Pembrokeshire hedges are purposely left to grow long, bursting with wildflowers in the spring such as honeysuckle, foxgloves, daffodils and primroses. Breakfast can be delivered to your tent if you wish and their own homemade cider is available to buy on site along with a few other bits. Ffynnonddewi campsite is one of those places that once visited, you might just not want to leave.

Brynhall Camping

Brynhall Camping is a lovely tranquil site, high up (in fact the highest campsite in Pembrokeshire) in the hills with full panoramic views of Pembrokeshire's gorgeous countryside. Steve and Elfrys have been running a B&B up in this enchanting spot for years before adding shepherds huts and more recently, a gorgeously wild and off grid campsite in their clover-strewn fields. There are only 10 camping pitches, 3 campervan pitches and 2 shepherds huts in over six acres of land, which means you are guaranteed plenty of space to camp out, relax and explore your surroundings. Further afield, there are Pembrokeshire's world class beaches and pretty villages and towns to visit, as well as the huge outdoor playground on offer in this neck of the woods; climbing, coasteering, kayaking, hiking and paddleboarding to name a few for those looking to have an action holiday. After a day of high octane adventure, what better way to relax than back at the Brynhall camping, where you can watch the sun setting and a star display in the darkest of skies.

Kite View Farm

Mark's family has been farming in this Pembrokeshire paradise for almost four generations. Nestled into the countryside, this serene campsite is the perfect place for relaxing, unwinding and reconnecting with nature. And at Kite View you don't just dreamily gaze at the local birdlife, you can actively connect with nature; in cahoots with local outdoor activity provider, Kite View offer bushcraft and survival courses, coastal and hedgerow foraging, rock pool safaris (no boat necessary unless you are one of The Borrowers) and awesome Woodland Foraged Feasts set in their own ancient woodland.

And if all that isn't brilliant enough, you can choose to camp in one of their state of the art tree tents suspended in the woods. Magic.

Becks Bay Camping

Becks Bay Camping is on a mission to provide a proper Welsh adventure holiday....and it all starts pretty well with their incredible location next to an isolated cove close to Tenby's South Beach and Lynstep Bay. Everyone is welcome here - families, dogs, campers and glampers - and the camping fields are in a gorgeous spot just off the Pembrokeshire coast path. You have a choice of pitching your own tent - in their wild (wild - but with loos and hot showers - hurrah!) open fields, or you can luxe it up a bit in one of their fully furnished glamping options: a yurt, a shepherds hut and bells tents, all of which come ready to camp - not only with all the beds and bedding - but the kitchen equipment too, which does make life rather lovely and simple. Leaving more time to chop wood and ponder around the home grown produce at their magnificent farm shop. Logs chopped and breakfast done, how about taking on some of the adventures on the doorstep; Becks Bay has some of the best climbing and abseiling in the UK, so even beginners can give it a go - although if you are new to it, best take a guide! With hiking trails, beaches (Barafundle Bay), surfing, and coasteering to try as well as castles to visit or boat trips to take, you certainly will not be short of things to do here.
