  • Peaceful West Wales rural touring pitches for CAMC members only
  • Dolaucothi mines five minutes' drive; half an hour to Brechfa Forest
  • Dog-friendly site with plenty of space for games and relaxing
This is a peaceful patch of land indeed – Blaenwaun Camping Certified Location has just a handful of touring pitches at a serene setting in rural west Wales, just outside the Carmarthenshire village of Crugybar and about 10 minutes’ drive from Llanwrda. This is a family-run place where owners David and Louise have chosen to keep numbers on site to a minimum in order to maximise the space available for guests to relax, and make the pitches available for members of the Caravan and Motorhome Club (CAMC) only. That means each hardstanding pitch measures a very generous 9 metres by 9 metres, and there's plenty of grassy space left over for picnics/ball games and generally chilling out. These touring pitches each have their own electric and water points, and there's also access to chemical disposal, heated toilets and showers (these require a £1 coin per use). Dogs are welcome, and have their own space to run about in if you haven’t worn them out on local walks. Speaking of walks… there are plenty of places for those around here, whether you choose to stay inland for Brechfa Forest and Llyn Llech Owain Country Park, wander through the western stretches of the Brecon Beacons National Park or head up to the seaside for a walk on the Wales Coast Path.

Chris L.

Electric gravel touring pitch (members only)

Liked A perfect haven of tranquility.
Well laid out flat pitches, no need to worry about levelling up, especially as we arrived much later than anticipated.
Water supply to each pitch was a pleasant addition.
Although we have our own wc/shower facilities onboard, the wife was pleasantly surprised at the onsite wc/shower facility that was very clean.

Shower and toilet are minimal for the site.

This is a great area for lots of outdoorsy activities – head to Brechfa Forest (half an hour's drive) for walks and some of the country’s best mountain bike trails, follow nature trails at Llyn Llech Owain Country Park (35 minutes) or challenge yourselves to a heart-pumping uphill bike climb on the Devil’s Staircase route (50 minutes). More walks can be had in the nearby Brecon Beacons National Park – a popular trail runs around Carreg Cennen Castle (35 minutes), and you can follow it up with lunch in foodie hotspot Llandeilo (20 minutes), which is also home to Dinefwr Castle. Alternatively, head to the coast for walks on the coast path, lunch in Aberaeron (40 minutes), dolphin spotting from New Quay (50 minutes) or days on the beach in Llangrannog (55 minutes). Other popular attractions around the area include the gold mines at National Trust - Dolaucothi (five minutes), the pretty paths of Aberglasney Gardens (20 minutes) and rides on the Gwili Steam Railway (35 minutes).
