About the site

Tucked away near the sea, this campsite is a small and peaceful spot that's perfect for a coastal escape. With just 12 pitches in total, it is ideal for a quiet getaway. Surrounded by countryside and just a ten minute walk from Abercastle Cove and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, it's a great base for anyone who wants to explore the outdoors. The grass pitches welcome tents, campervans, caravans and motorhomes. Each one comes with its own fire pit, a picnic bench, and plenty of space thanks to the privacy hedging between most pitches. Optional 10 amp electric hook ups and a nearby water point are available too. Being so close to the coast, it's no surprise that it is popular with watersport lovers. The host offers watersports gear to borrow, including kayaks, paddleboards, bodyboards and wetsuits, so you can make the most of the waves without needing to bring your own kit. Evenings are made for sitting around the fire pit and stargazing. Please note that disposable BBQs are not allowed and fires must only be lit in the provided fire pits. The site is dog friendly too, with the nearby coastal path offering plenty of scenic routes for walking your four-legged friend. Please note that this campsite is part of The Greener Camping Club, and so at least one member of the booking party has to be a member. Membership is £12 for the year and can be bought upon booking.

A note from the site themselves...

Camping has always been part of my life. From when I was a baby, I camped with my family all over the UK, Europe, America and Africa. Some of my fondest memories are of those adventures - exploring new places, living simply, and always being outdoors. One thing I loved while camping in France was how many sites offered large, individual pitches.

So when the opportunity came to set up a campsite here on my land at Garn Isaf, I knew just what I wanted to create. With groundwork carried out across the property, we had plenty of excess stone and earth - and, with the support and permission from the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, we decided to shape it into traditional hedge banks between most pitches.

These not only provide natural privacy and shelter for campers, but also create fantastic wildlife habitats, which have become a haven for birds, insects, and small mammals. It fits perfectly with the character of Pembrokeshire - the land of the little fields - and helps the site blend beautifully into its surroundings.

I hope you'll find the same joy here that I've always found in camping. I feel incredibly privileged to welcome new guests here - and absolutely love welcoming back our regulars, many of whom have now become friends - some who have been coming since the very beginning in 2005.I look forward to welcoming you here and letting you see for yourself.

A 15 minute drive brings you to the famous Blue Lagoon at Abereiddi, a bright blue natural pool surrounded by dark slate cliffs. Once a working quarry, it's now a popular place for wild swimming and coasteering.
