  • Quiet hillside rural site overlooking the Amman Valley
  • A 20-minute drive from Carreg Cennen Castle; walking routes nearby
  • Views over the Amman Valley; town centre five minutes’ drive
Raring to go for a rural stay that will help you to unwind? Then, Scotch Pine may be a good port of call. A quiet hillside spot, this site overlooks the Amman Valley, so traffic-free riverside trails and mountain hikes are very much on the cards around here. The site sits up high in a field, so there are scenic views over the countryside. In fact, the only disturbance is from the sheep and bird song, so it’s likely that you’ll find this quite a peaceful place to get in a good sleep or some downtime with a book or binoculars. Those of you who are keen to tackle the local trails will be pleased to hear that there are plenty of walks on your doorstep. The site is also 15 minutes’ drive away from the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, where mountains (and some caves) are the speciality. Despite the quiet around, you won’t have to go on quite as much of a trek to find the local amenities, as the centre of Ammanford has a wide assortment of shops, restaurants and pubs five minutes’ drive away from the site.

Local attractions

Coast, cave and castles… these three are part of the cocktail in this area of land. The local castles, including Carreg Cennen Castle (20 minutes’ drive) and Dinefwr Castle (half an hour) won’t let you miss out on a good dose of Welsh history. The same can be said for the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (40 minutes), as the dinosaur park, museum, gold panning activities and Iron Age farm open up a fair few pages in the history books. As for that coast that Wales is so well-known for, the Gower Peninsula (45 minutes) keeps some of the cleanest beaches and cool coastal path stretches, as it’s an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Then, Swansea (half an hour) has a little more of the traditional seaside life with surfing on the beaches and shopping in the city. It’s not just about the three Cs, though. There’s a waterfall at Henrhyd Falls (40 minutes) for a handsome hike, a load of plant life in the National Botanic Garden of Wales (25 minutes) and walking, cycling and mountain biking in Llyn Llech Owain Country Park (20 minutes).

What customers say

This peaceful campsite offers amazing views and a quiet atmosphere, with sheep providing the only nighttime sounds. Guests appreciated the friendly and helpful owner, beautiful location, and suitability for dogs. While some noted muddy conditions and a need for fresh gravel, this was attributed to the time of year. The site is remote but convenient for driving to shops.

Such a contrast to other campsites we visited during our trip to Wales. The only thing we heard during the night was the sheep. Super friendly, helpful owner too
