About Folly Farm Holiday Park

The park is ideally located for the popular seaside towns of Tenby and Saundersfoot and has access to the Pembrokeshire National Park's coastal paths and secluded beaches. The vibrant market town of Narberth is just ten minutes away, with the nearest beach being Coppet Hall Beach, a 15 minute drive from the site. Next door is Folly Farm which also operates the site. The attraction is a previous winner of a TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice award, rating it as the 10th best zoo in the world and several times winner of Visit Wales' Best Day Out. As if that wasn't enough, it has also won the Best Visitor Attraction in Pembrokeshire and Day Out. On the touring park, all of the pitches are super-sized, measuring 12m x 10m, and include a grassy area next to a gravel hardstanding area. They are suitable for tourers and motorhomes, and gazebos can be pitched on the hardstanding using rock tent pegs at no extra charge. Pitches are fully serviced with a services bollard for drinking water, wastewater disposal and 16 amp electric hook up. Pitches are named after some of the attractions you can find at Folly Farm, so you'll be pitching up at "Pirate Cove", staying at "Sloth", or camping on "Chair-o-plane!". The site also offers a range of grass pitches for tents, with the option of electric. If you prefer glamping, there are also a range of showman's wagons, along with spacious safari tents. A play area is located between the touring park and the campsite, and paying once for day tickets to Folly Farm gets you unlimited entry to Folly Farm for the duration of your stay!

Camping is available from 22nd March until 30th September and touring is open from 5th January until 23rd December .

A note from the site themselves...

We're so proud of our Holiday Park - a fantastic addition to everything we have to offer at our award-winning attraction. The feedback we've had from guests since we opened in July 2020 has been incredible and we've been delighted to welcome back lots of return visitors which is a true testament to the site we've created and the warm welcome guests receive from our friendly staff.

Guests tell us they enjoy being able to pop to the attraction even just for an hour or so and they love hearing the animals at night when all the day visitors have gone home particularly if they're lucky enough to hear Hugo our African lion roaring!

We're a family-run business and our founder's family farmed the land for three generations before we opened as an educational tourist attraction back in 1988. The family ethos runs deep at Folly Farm but now our extended family includes our wonderful staff, fantastic animals and all the families that visit, and now stay, with us!

We were delighted to win Best Caravan Park in Pembrokeshire at Visit Pembrokeshire's Croeso Awards for 2022 in only our third season of operation.

VW-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesOct 2023

We had a lovely family trip to Folly Farm Park in our campervan. We stayed Friday to Monday on a hardstanding pitch. We paid for the park tickets which entitled us to entry each day of our stay, but were unaware that we could also get half price ride wristbands which was amazing and the kids absolutely loved. The site itself was spotless and everything looked brand new. There was a recreation room with a pool table, table tennis, arcade games, TV, board games and music and was all free. The kids made great use of this and my husband got to watch the rugby. The reception and shop were good and have a microwave if needed. Although, it was not really open much during our stay but we did stay out of holidays and the site was pretty quiet. There was a sign to say to call them and they would come to the shop but we didn't need anything urgently. I was very impressed with the showers, powerful and hot and very big cubicles. There was also free hairdryers. There is also free Wi-Fi on site. It was such a brilliant site and an excellent location. We went into Saundersfoot one evening for a walk along the beach and to grab fish and chips. We didn't use the public transport but it seemed very convenient and would get you into Saundersfoot and Tenby. There was also the added bonus of being able to hear the lions' roar, which we did multiple times each day. Please be aware you will definitely need screw pegs for any awnings etc on the hardstanding. We had some but even some of them bent with how hard the ground was.

Site's response

Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review following your recent stay on our touring park. Delighted to hear you had a great time and made the most of your tickets to our attraction and our fairground and that you had the added bonus of hearing our pride of lions roar! Hope to welcome you back to our holiday park again soon. Folly Farm Holiday Park

VW-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesApr 2024

Great site. Massive flat pitches, nicely spaced with grassy areas between and behind for the kids to run around safely. EHU and water to each pitch, Wi-Fi sitewide. Facilities are spotless, spacious and warm, with room for your dry gear while showering. Friendly and supportive staff. We stayed during Storm Kathleen! So no awning or pop top for us…so the recreation room was a real treat - dry, warm, plenty to entertain the kids and a welcome retreat from the rain and wind-battered van. The site is a bit exposed in this weather, but it seems pretty new and plenty of trees and hedges have been planted - I'm sure these will come into their own as windbreaks as the place matures. The zoo and farm next door are obviously a great draw for the kids - you get real value out of the ticket that allows repeat access during the stay. The undercover fun fair was another welcome respite from the storm! We'll definitely, definitely be back!
