Coastal Stay Camping

UK Wales South Wales Pembrokeshire St Davids

Camping and glamping with immaculate facilities, wood-fired pizzas, and sea views to and Abereiddy and Porthgain.

Ah, Pembrokeshire. Truly a coastline to rival any of the world's greatest. Epic sea views, mysterious hidden coves, lush verdant fields – the undeniable allure of this area in south-west Wales is clear to see. This is the Welsh holiday experience. And yet, the trouble with top-rate tourist destinations is... all the blinkin' tourists! While the snap-happy hordes descend en masse to St Davids and the surrounding hives of Solva, Whitesands and Newgale, we know a little gem of a place a little off the beaten track. Head north from Pembrokeshire's tip, and tucked away a little inland from the glorious golden sands of Aberiddy beach you'll find Coastal Stay Camping.

Originally a one-season-side-project to the adjacent four-star B&B, campers were so enamoured with the stunning views and lazy lake-side air of relaxation that the owners have now re-opened for successive years. Your wonderful host Marilyn is a proud farmer's daughter who'll greet you with a sunny "shwmai" and some organic eggs and veg from the small-holding. With a well-tended field for tents, tipis and the odd caravan, friendly goats for the kids to meet, an onsite wood-fired pizza shack, and possibly the most immaculate bathroom this side of Offa's Dyke, facilities are ample to say the least.

Location-wise, Coastal Stay offers the perfect retreat from the tourist trail while still being readily accessible for all the region's stunning sites and attractions. After a day of foraging or exploring Aberfiddy's famous Blue Lagoon, you can retire back at camp to watch the sun descend over the Irish Sea. As campfire mingles with the heady scents from the herb garden and the unspoilt night sky starts to twinkle, you'll thank your lucky stars you went off the beaten track. Just remember, keep it to yourself...

The Owner Says

Escape to a beautifully finished campsite small-holding located in a National Trust Conservation area with uninterrupted views of the north Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Views overlooking the Pembrokeshire Coast National park with incredible sunsets and unhindered views of the night sky, making our campsite perfect for stargazing around a camp fire after watching the sun set into the sea at Abereiddy. An ideal and tranquil base for viewing the attractions of Pembrokeshire and only a few miles from the shops, pubs and restaurants of St Davids. If you are looking for a hi-tech holiday park then we are probably not for you. But if you want your children to know how to build a den or forage for blackberries, then our Pembrokeshire camping site will be exactly what you’re looking for.

Every pitch we have provides a view of the Pembrokeshire Coast. There are a range of pitches available to suit every type of camping setup. Our standard pitch is a spacious eight by eight meters, it is perfect for small, medium and large setups. ‘Forest’ pitches are offset in a small wooded area, they provide a bit more privacy and shelter from the wind, they can accommodate small and medium tents. As well as these we have a handful of pitches that are suitable for large motor homes and caravans, they provide easy accessibility in and out of the campsite. We also have two extra large specialty pitches, specifically for dome tents, tipis or other unique setups

Getting There

The campsite is on the backroad between St David’s and Fishguard, on the B4583 (off the A487), in a small village called Llanrhian less than a mile from Porthgain and Abereiddy. If you’re trying to find the campsite via GPS / Sat Nav, their post code is SA626DP. The campsite has a sign outside and a welcome notice board; there is a cattle grid over the entrance and often a little ginger cocker spaniel sleeping on the grass near the road. Go straight to the main house and ring the bell where you will be welcomed.

A frequent bus service stops directly outside the campsite and runs to and from St Davids, Fishguard and Haverfordwest.
