The great views

  • Small family-friendly site with spectacular Towy valley views
  • Under half an hour's drive from the edge of the Brecon Beacons
  • Herb boxes and hedgerows on site for foraging
Escapades through Welsh countryside, adventures in the great wide open and boating jaunts through a National Park… At Quarry Lodge Camping, a tiny family-friendly site in south Wales less than five minutes’ drive from the Carmarthenshire village of White Mill and 10 minutes from Carmarthen town, you’re all set for an active getaway. Quarry Lodge is less than half an hour from the edge of Brecon Beacons National Park, where you can live your best outdoorsy life with abseiling, biking, walking, riding, rock climbing, canoeing and rafting or, for a challenge, head for the Brecon Beacons an hour and 45 minutes away. If coastal walks are more likely to put the wind in your sails, head seaward with a jaunt to New Quay, just under an hour from base, to join the Wales Coast Path along Cardigan Bay. When your legs are demanding a rest day, chill out on site – it’s quietly rural and you can put your feet up while taking in views over the spectacular Towy valley. When you’re rested just enough for a stiff-legged walk, meander into White Mill (10 minutes' stroll), the local village. If your feet are still protesting, you can stick around site instead: get that barbecue stoked up and load it up with supplies from the White Mill shop. Want to give a little extra flair to the tired old munch? Wander over to the wild hedgerows and herb boxes, where you can forage for a little something to liven it all up.

Powered grass tent site

Liked: It's difficult to know where to start - you just felt like family before you even arrived. As soon as I booked we received an email with directions and the morning of travel we received texts giving updates and tips for arriving and the conditions on the day. We were welcomed onto site with a friendly smile and showed to our pitch. We were then visited a while later and given a plethora of ideas for things we could do during our stay - the suggestions were mindful of the ages of our children and what we wanted to get out of our holiday. It is the warmest welcome we have had for any holiday. If you like your club houses and kids entertainment then this site is not for you and that's ok. If you want something a bit more laid back and feel like you are getting away from the world then this is perfect. Toilets were always clean and we never had to queue for the loo or shower. You genuinely do get everything you need without over complicating it. We cannot speak highly enough of our time here and will be back.

Liked: We had such a lovely stay here, Linda the owner could not do enough for us, she is lovely and very welcoming. The kids were able to go off and explore and play in the gardens and they all loved playing on the tyre swing and in the games area. There are also fresh eggs for sale each day. We will definitely be returning :)

Disliked: Nothing!

Local attractions

History buffs should surely be fans of this part of Carmarthenshire: Dinefwr, Llansteffan and Kidwelly castles are all within about half an hour, the National Trust has some fab properties nearby (Dolaucothi Gold Mines and the house and park at Dinefwr are musts) and you can nab a glimpse into the past under someone else’s steam by climbing aboard the Gwili Steam Railway, 10 minutes away. Prefer to get out and about for a stroll in nature? The National Botanic Garden of Wales, where you can traipse through acres of countryside, formal gardens and nature reserve, is a little over 10 minutes from base, and the spectacular Aberglasney Gardens are within 15. If all the rural is beginning to grate, head straight for Swansea (45 minutes away) for a taste of the urban – there are museums, markets, pubs and restaurants to check out, as well as plenty of shops. Make a 45-minute beeline for Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo or Oakwood Theme Park when the kids start to whine, and let their pumping adrenaline get them back on side.
