  • Clean showers and toilets; campfires and barbecues allowed
Hide away here for as long as you can manage. Covert Farm Camping is a family-run haven next to a Site of Special Scientific Interest, home to a wide variety of birds and wildlife living among reeds and trees… and it's only 10 minutes' drive from this splendid spot to the spectacular Pembrokeshire coast. The owners have set the site up to be a peaceful getaway for guests who want to unwind in a wildlife haven. The farm is surrounded by fields for leisurely walks away from roads too, and a huge amount of family days out are close by: Saundersfoot and Tenby beaches, Heatherton, Folly Farm and Manor Wildlife Park are all within 15 minutes' drive. Gratified former guests have approved most fervently of this lovely little site, hailing the friendly team, the spotless amenities and the setting among other aspects. Campfires are encouraged too as long as they're in firepits: these are available for hire, along with firelighters, logs and kindling to buy. Levelling blocks may be required for some pitches. The toilet and shower block has hot running water and washing-up facilities.

Robert F. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (large)

Liked: Friendly welcome on arrival and throughout our stay. Everything we needed was there, hard standing pitches were a good size, levelling blocks were required but not a problem. All the usual facilities on site, all working, all clean, might be a bit short in peak season if the site gets busy, from memory only three or four toilet/shower cubicles. Make sure you have everything you need/want with you if you don't want to drive off site to get it, nothing available in the village, except a pub we didn't try.

Disliked: Nothing really!

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (large)

Liked: Friendly owner on-site, easy two nighter over Ironman Tenby weekend. Quiet, felt rural yet so easy to get about. More than adequate sized pitch. Quirky mini container toilets (take your own hand towel). Roomy wet room style showers. Basic but perfectly adequate. Ok I read the earlier reviews before my stay and comments about copious hand written signs, I won’t be negative as I’ve no doubt many would find them useful and they are intended to be helpful, others are just simple reminders that have probably become necessary such as turning off a tap. Something to read while you pee! It’s got to be better than a big notice board, the info is exactly where relevant. Our stay was camping as it should be, basic and sociable - what’s not to like?

Perfect site. We will definitely be returning.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Campsite is a nice location

Disliked: Firstly I should explain I never leave reviews good or bad but on this occasion I have to speak up. We had a terrible drive due to traffic in terrible weather and the owner told us off on arrival for being late for check in at 7pm when we finally arrived. It got worse from there on there seemed to be a lot of rules that were not explained and Iv never come across in camp sites before (we are very seasoned campers) and we felt incredibly uncomfortable and as if we were an inconvenience to the owner rather than paying customers. The owner actually told us off at one point because friends who lived in the area had joined us for a bbq despite us having filled a form in with her son clearly stating we had day visitors. Owner has provided in my option the bear minimum she can get away with and expects people to be great full for this. Fire wood and fire pit is the most expensive Iv come across and the wood was terrible very damp very light weight wood. Wouldn’t go back if you paid me avoid!!!

From the manager: Hi, sorry for the bad weather not a good start to your stay. Our check in time is 3.pm to 6.pm, If guests are going to be late or outside this time to phone ahead to let us know please. Visitors are ask to checks and sign in so we know who is on the site . The fire wood is from a company located to us and the wood has always been first class , The wood should be kept dry and out of the rain so it makes it easier to burn. Thank you for your stay 😊

A good experience. Quiet at night. Not far from the coast. No Wi-Fi?

Local attractions

No more than 15 minutes' drive (handy if you have less-than-patient kids) will take you to an excellent range of family and sandy days out near the farm: take your pick from beach and paddling days, boat trips, wildlife adventures, amusement parks, castles… and a dinosaur park. Saundersfoot (10 minutes' drive away) is, along with Tenby, one of the most visited holiday spots in Wales, home to an award-wining beach and the Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo. Another award-wining beach is at Tenby, along with the ruins of Tenby Castle, boat trips to Caldey Island and the Tenby Dinosaur Park. Two other famed Pembrokeshire theme parks are also within 10 minutes: Heatherton World of Activities and Oakwood Theme Park. Most kids should also clamour for a day at Manor House Wildlife Park, the only walking safari in Wales and home to exotic and endangered animals from around the world. Then try and get your small sorts interested in a spot of history with ventures to Carew and Pembroke castles each within 10 minutes' drive: these are so splendid it might be easier than you think…
