About Preseli Glamping
If you are wanting to get back to nature and enjoy adventures and relaxing with loved ones, this could be the ideal site. Nestled on a hillside, the site enjoys picturesque views over the neighbouring countryside and wooded valley, all the way out to sea. A beautifully landscaped rolling meadow is home to 14 spacious tent pitches, each with its own picnic table, fire pit and cooking grill. Each pitch welcomes up to six guests, bordered with either wildflowers, ancient woodland or saplings, wonderful for wildlife spotting. The family-friendly, car-free meadow offers a chance to fully immerse yourself in the natural world reconnecting with nature, far from the buzz of everyday life. It is a quiet, restorative sanctuary, rich in wildlife and a huge diversity of indigenous plants due to a successful rewilding project which has provided an abundance of habitats. For those who want to be surrounded by the Welsh wilderness but like a touch more luxury, the Geodesic Dome has been tucked away in a clearing of tall twisting trees at the foot of the valley. The dome sleeps up to four, equipped with a double bed, a single bed and a futon, along with a wood-fired stove for those cooler nights. Outside you will find sun loungers, a fire pit and a separate fire bowl with a grill for cooking, so don't forget to bring your BBQ ingredients. You will also have a picnic bench, great for al fresco dining. The highlight of this magical campsite is the 20-minute walk through the National Trust Woodland to Abermawr, an expansive secluded sand-and-shingle beach which is perfect for swimming, body boarding, rock pooling, sunset bonfires and more. Here you can also join the Pembrokeshire Coast Path which winds along the rugged coastline. With all this in mind, you can still charge your devices and connect to free WiFi at the hub if you want to! Here you will also find a huge and beautifully presented interactive map of Pembrokeshire which makes it easy to plan your day and book local experiences online. If you don't feel like cooking every night, take a short walk to the village of Mathry and enjoy a hearty meal in the local pub. Tregwynt Woollen Mill is also just a short walk from the campsite and offers delicious lunches and afternoon tea (as well as wonderful Welsh Wool interiors and clothes). Bucket lists at the ready! for adventurous folk, there is endless opportunity for outdoor activities in the local area including coasteering, sea kayaking, surfing, SUP boarding, kiteboarding, horse riding, climbing mountain biking. Four-legged friends are also welcome to join you for your stay, with up to three dogs allowed per pitch and in the geodesic dome.

A beautiful campsite on the west coast of Pembrokeshire. 20 minutes from one of the most beautiful beaches we've ever been to and an excellent location to explore most of Pembrokeshire from The campsite itself is quiet and each pitch feels private and self enclosed, which makes the camping cosy and intimate Just next door is the excellent Preseli Venture, who offer all sorts of exciting activities (we tried Sea Kayaking along the coast), and a lovely little bar for quiet evenings. We had a great time and couldn't recommend this campsite more. We had a great time and will definitely be returning

Thanks so much for posting this lovely review of our campsite, Tim! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences. We may be biased but we agree that our local beach is the best in Pembs! Hope you'll be back next year :)

Super campsite. Loved the rewinding and graded site for sunset views and privacy. Firepit and wood that can be bought at campsite was important to us. The only let down was the limited dates for Preseli Ventures activities next door, including allocated dates seemingly changing for Lodge visitors. We booked partially for convenient access to these activities, so we were disappointed with this.

Hi Andrew, glad to hear you loved the layout of the campsite and enjoyed having a nice private space! Sorry to hear you struggled to get onto an activity - it is very quiet here in Pembrokeshire's off-season and so we do often need to add campers to existing groups from the lodge. As you pointed out, we also have to move activities around to work with the weather. This isn't ideal for you I know, but we feel it's better to be able to offer some activities off-season by grouping people together, than not be able to run at all! Hopefully you'll get to give it a go next time.
Nice campsite

The location is beautiful and the green campsite very good. There are (I think) only 14 pitches, all in their own little spot surrounded by small trees/bushes, with paths leading you off to nearby water taps. Our site was pretty level, and they all have a table with benches and a fire pit provided. The fire pit has an adjustable wire grid to swing over to put your pan on - clever! It was quiet, safe, (no cars on site) and clean. Tents only and dogs allowed. Carrying everything from the car park was very arduous on arrival in the middle of a monsoon but wheelbarrows are provided and it IS very nice having the camping area car free. The walk to the beach from the site is lovely, and so is the beach. Lots of beautiful places to visit nearby. I would recommend this special campsite highly, but be aware that pitching and striking camp may be quite hard work! Loos and showers are in a converted container…it works well and they are kept clean - only thing, it is like a big wet room, so shower water pours through all the cubicles in an impressive and slightly startling way 😂

Things to do on site and in the Haverfordwest area
The campsite is perfectly situated for walkers as it is just 20 minute walk to join the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, a world-renowned trail that hugs the undulating coastline, offering breathtaking scenery and access to secret little coves.
You can spot diving peregrines and acrobatic ravens and coughs and seals lazing on the rocky shoreline. Walking north to Strumble Head lighthouse, you may even spot pods of dolphins and porpoise from the clifftop hides.
If you like to go off the beaten track to the rocky tideline, there are some fantastic experienced local providers to take you coasteering. Or perhaps you prefer to see the coastline by sea kayak, taking in the astounding variety of wildlife.
Pembrokeshire is also home to some of the best sand-bottom beach breaks in Wales. You can either rent bodyboards or surfboards or take a lesson with an experienced local instructor. The coast offers a wealth of opportunities for adventure and exploration from SUP boarding to kiteboarding, climbing to wild swimming.
Bring your bikes and set off on the long-distance Celtic Way cycling trail or head to Llys Y Fran reservoir (30 minutes) where you can rent mountain bikes to tackle their fun woodland trail.
Horse riding at Crosswell Horse Agency (30 minutes) is an amazing way to discover the wild moorland at the foothills of the Preselis, encountering austere heath and craggy grasslands, the lush and verdant steep-sided Gwaun Valley, bronze-age cairns and neolithic burial sites - all on horseback with friendly and experienced leaders.
St David's is a historic city (the smallest one in the UK!) and just 15 minutes away. There you can visit the 12th-century Cathedral, the impressive ruins of the Bishops Palace and a cluster of beautiful beaches with white sand and bright turquoise waters.
Just outside is Dr Beynon's Bug Farm (15 minutes), a must-see for families with an interest in nature, beautiful bugs, plants and rewilding.
Other nearby attractions include:
- Fishguard Fort (15 minutes)
- Castell Henllys Iron Age Village (35 minutes)
- Bluestone The Hive (40 minutes)
- Carew Castle and Tidal Mill (45 minutes)
- Manor Wildlife Park (50 minutes)
