Overlooking the sea (added by manager 12 sep 2019)

Family-run site situated on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path
Direct access to Porthsele beach; a mile from Whitesands
Farm shop, coffee hut, bar and pizzas available in high season

Fancy a stay on a family-run farm… with direct access to a beach below? Make your way to Pencarnan Farm Caravan and Camping Site, a 96-acre farm overlooking Porthsele beach on the Pembrokeshire coast. The site is on the most western tip of Pembrokeshire, with views of St Georges Channel connecting the Irish and Celtic seas. You'll be in good company with a stay here: generations of the same family have been running the site since the mid-1950s, a holiday spot for guests who return year after year – some with their kids and grandkids now in tow. This place is just the ticket for outdoor adventures too, as it's set directly above Porthsele beach (with private vehicle access so you can cart all your kit along with you). The sea and bay are safe for swimming and kayaking, and there are plenty of rockpools to explore at low tide. If you haven’t got your fill of sea breeze, surfing beach Whitesands is a one-mile walk along the coastal path or, if you’re feeling adventurous, a half-mile swim or kayak from Porthsele. Sorting supplies is easy at the farm too: in the high season, a site shop is on hand with camping and food supplies, wetsuits and logs for beach fires, and a coffee hut opens every day. A bar and pizzas are also available at peak times.

3-amp Rhosson Field electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: A brilliantly thought out site right above a beautiful beach which has everything you need when you're travelling with an 8 year old - rock pools, a stream for damming, sand and caves. The courtyard is a great place to hang out in the evening with excellent pizza and a good selection of drinks and the shop offers a good selection of essentials and BBQ stuff.

Disliked: Nothing, we'll be back.

16-amp Rhosson Field electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Spacious pitches, hot showers, bar and pizza in the courtyard, friendly staff, quiet location, cleanliness.

Disliked: Several dogs off lead, a couple with with no owners in sight. A dalmatian in particular was crapping wherever it wanted and bothering other campers and their tethered dogs on their pitches.

Beach Field non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Fantastic views from the Beach Field, absolutely love it here, it’s our happy place! Love having access to the beach from the campsite. The courtyard with shop, little cafe, bar and pizza place is so handy. Will be back again next year. Appreciated the lower sinks for the children and the accessible shower/baby change really helped when needing to clean up the little one. Children loved being wild and free in the big field, lots of space.

Disliked: So windy! But worth it for the views and the kids got to fly their kite

From the manager: Thanks so much for your review, we're glad you enjoyed your time at Pencarnan and hope to see you again soon.

Local attractions

This is heaven for beach buffs: Porthsele and Whitesands beaches are both within walking distance of Pencarnan. At Porthsele, take your pick from kayaking, surfing and paddleboarding from its sandy shore; if fishing's more your bag you can fish for mackerel, pollock and seabass from the beach and from certain points on the cliff around Pencarnan's land. There are also a few marked climbing spots around the cliffs on the land and some good entry points for coasteering or a coastal swim back to Porthsele beach… followed back at base with a sunset beach fire or barbecue to end the day. The famed surfing centre of Whitesands, a mile away on the coast path from Pencarnan, has a café, deckchairs and wetsuit hire, plus lifeguards in the summer months. Heading south, St Justinian’s (under a mile away along the coast path) is home to RNLI St Davids Lifeboat Station and a departure point for boat trips around, onto and beyond Ramsey Island to spy seals, seabirds, porpoises, whales, dolphins and sharks. Make time too for a trip to the tiny city of St Davids, to browse its shops and galleries and take a look at sixth-century St Davids Cathedral.
