Llandyfan Camping and Fishing

A quiet corner of Carmarthenshire, with fishing on site and a golf course and pub within easy ambling distance – land yourself a spot at Llandyfan Camping and Fishing and all this shall be yours.

Being on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, this peaceful place is mighty scenic. It’s rather handily located too, a 10-minute drive from both Ammanford (where there’s a train station, restaurants and a sizeable supermarket for supplies) and pretty Llandeilo (for artsy shops and an excellent deli).

Naturally (this being Wales) there are castles nearby – both Dinefwr and Carreg Cennen are within a 10-minute drive. Beyond them are outings to botanic gardens, beaches and of course the Beacons themselves, a most fab place for all manner of outdoorsy activities. Perhaps don’t tire yourselves out too much by day though, lest you fall asleep early and miss the starry shows in the country's first International Dark Sky Reserve...

Out and about in this area has much to recommend it but so does sticking about on site for a bit, especially if you’re into fishing. Bring along your rods and a licence and for a small charge you can use the site’s coarse fishing lake.

This is an eco-friendly site, which generates its own power from wind and solar energy and backup generators and has its own water supply. And it’s a friendly one too: owner Bob’s garnered many plaudits from previous guests, partly because he’s a helpful chap and partly because he’ll sort you out with a firepit and firewood for your cosy evenings (for a small charge).
