Tycanol Farm Camping

Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales

There's hardly a campsite in Great Britain that can beat this one for views. Right on Tycanol Farm's doorstep is the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, weaving its way across 186 miles of some of the most thrilling coastal scenery in Europe. From Amroth in the south, to St Dogmaels in the north, this epic journey covers almost every kind of seaside landscape; from soft sand beaches and craggy cliff-tops to winding estuaries and shady coves, making Tycanol Farm the promised land for any camper. Run by Mr. Harries, a traditional Pembrokeshire former farmer who’s the embodiment of courtesy, welcoming campers with smiles and open arms – and sometimes a shot of whiskey! The owner is eager that guests make the most of their Pembrokeshire visit, whatever that may be, so bring deep pockets for his inevitable distribution of local leaflets. Utter a few choice words in Welsh and old man Harries might even tell you where to find the "oldest pub in Wales". Pitch space is plentiful and it’s easy to find a quaint little corner to throw up your canvas; visitors have the pick of three fairly flat, neatly trimmed fields, all with good views, one of which is also well sheltered. If this sounds slightly too manicured for your taste, one quick look across St Georges Channel puts everything back into perspective. Tycanol Farm has a reassuringly natural, outdoorsy feel. Facilities? Okay, they are basic and not quite up to Savoy standards, however the showers are hot, powerful and always immaculately clean. You'll also find proper little campfire burns in one of the open sheds – complete with a selection of battered sofas. Tycanol Farm is a well-maintained, back-to-basics type of campsite, with the attraction being its removed, awe-inspiring location rather than its facilities.
