  • Family-friendly site 10 minutes’ drive from lengthy Pendine Sands
  • Oakwood Theme Park and Folly Farm within 40 minutes
  • A five-minute drive from Laugharne; restaurant and bar on site
Sweeping green fields, lengthy stretches of sand and wild coastal walks… If that unleashes your inner poet, get inspired at Nine Acres Camping Caravan Park, a family-friendly site five minutes’ drive from Laugharne in Carmarthenshire. Dylan Thomas called Laugharne the strangest town in Wales, but that didn’t stop him putting down roots there and it certainly shouldn’t stop you visiting… Clamber around the ruins of 13th-century Laugharne Castle before following the Dylan Thomas Mile out to his Boathouse on the stunning Taf estuary – or, if you fancy some lengthier explores, join the Wales Coast Path for 870 miles of fab Welsh coastline rambles. When you’re in need of eats, the on-site outdoor restaurant has plenty of delicious menu items (all cooked fresh in front of you), and there's also a licenced bar serving drinks. Otherwise, set the barbecue smouldering or head into Laugharne to try some local bites. There's a washing-up area on site, along with facilities for waste disposal and dealing with rubbish. Four drinking water points have been placed at strategic locations around the park, so you'll not go thirsty around here. Unisex showers and toilets are housed in a block that's been thoughtfully provided with electric points for shavers and hairdryers and has central heating (big thumbs up to that in the chiller months). Please make sure that you dispose of all waste in the areas provided.

What customers say

This campsite offers a quiet countryside location near Laugharne with friendly hosts. Guests appreciated the small bar and food offering, along with clean and adequate facilities. While many enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and large pitches, some reviews mentioned issues with hygiene and maintenance in the toilet and shower blocks, particularly regarding blockages and cleanliness. There were also isolated reports of noise disturbances and safety concerns.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Friendly staff, small bar and food shack which is great and location of the campsite.

Disliked Shower block could do with some updating mainly the men’s. Some facilities very basic such as washing up area. Day two of staying we came back one afternoon after being out exploring to find someone else on our pitch and had to move to an alternative pitch. It wasn’t a massive deal, but it is a little bit unusual as pitches are normally allocated to you for the duration of the stay.

From the manager: Thank you for your comment, i remember saying to you that leaving a item to say the pitch is occupied is advisable as you will on some occasions find people do try to move around park not caring at all of the disruption they may be causing, as for your further comments it is on the list to upgrade wash up area but obviously not quick enough for some

Liked Very friendly and welcoming.
Nice, not over the top socialising area, well priced too. Typical bar menu which was great value for money.
Do plan on returning at some point.

Disliked Wash areas were clean, really good shower temp and pressure. They possibly need an upgrade in the near future.

Dan M.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Very quiet location, good nights sleep, nice views, all grass pitches, plenty of space for a small site.

Disliked Washing up room was massively unhygienic, filthy dirty, awful bad smells. The bin hadn’t been emptied or cleaned for some time. All manner of things stuck to it. The cobwebs everywhere were certainly not new ones. They are more than well established. Filthy floor, sides, plastic unit. You expect some bugs/cobwebs etc when staying outside, I get that. But you don’t expect to see filth that’s been there for some time.

Men’s shower room had 2 showers with thin shower curtains. No privacy, no locks on the main door. Grubby in most places.

Ladies shower room was a little cleaner, but not much. Ladies toilets had no handwashing or drying aids. Just a small sink, again it was grubby.

The EHU is tempremental. It kept tripping our electric so we couldn’t use it. We didn’t mention it to the owner as we weren’t 100% sure if it was a fault with our van/ electrics or their supply. However, the night prior ours was working on another EHU site and it carried on working on the 2 other sites we stayed at afterwards. So it must be an issue with their supply.

There’s a bar in a shed onsite, which is great if that’s your thing. They will also cook food for you if you ask them too. There’s a menu with food times on the door of another shed. I didn’t see any hygiene rating anywhere for the food. But like I said, the shed the menu was on was closed up. So it might have been inside. Who knows.

Overall, even though it was a quiet night. I wouldn’t stay or recommend this place personally. For £32 it was dirty, unhygienic and overpriced.

From the manager: Thank you for your review , well what do i say you were on for one night you must have spent that time in finding all the negatives on site. , What a very sad time you must have had a good thing that i have many other visitors that do enjoy being here but know doubt you would find them to also have a problem,

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely little site, friendly staff, nice sized even pitches and grass well kept

Disliked Groups of campers allowed to party drunkenly til early hours both nights I was there. Disrupted the whole site for everyone after speaking to other people there. Rowdy, loud music, drunken shouting and singing and kids running riot screaming whilst your trying to sleep and having little ones with me. Owner was onsite and did nothing so I wouldn't stay here again knowing that anything and anyone's allowed. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet weekend or has small children because of it.

Local attractions

Be sure to pack your swimming cossie for Nine Acres stays – Pendine Sands is a 10-minute drive from base and is fab for swimming, surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding as well as its sand-based strolling and its ocean views… and perhaps land speed record attempts too? Malcolm Campbell set a record on the seven-mile stretch in 1924, so make sure to stop in at the Museum of Speed to get yourself up to speed. If you’re after more slow-paced history, there’s plenty nearby you’ll want to tick off the list, starting with Llansteffan and Kidwelly castles and the Tudor Merchant’s House in Tenby (all about 40 minutes away), before slightly longer jaunts for historical yarns at the National Wool Museum and reliving your youth at the West Wales Museum of Childhood. Stick around Tenby to nab a berth on seal-spotting cruises, spend a few hours walking and talking with the animals at Manor Wildlife Park (just don't expect them to talk back), and potter around Folly Farm – or you could stay a little closer to home base for an animal-free but spectacular afternoon at the National Botanic Garden of Wales. Finish your break on a high note by making a beeline for the heady heights and adrenaline rides at Oakwood Theme Park, 40 minutes away.
