Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely friendly welcome from Huw. Pretty, rural site. Basic facilities but that's what we like. What it lacked in amenities it made up for in charm and wonderful countryside.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked A perfect spot to get away for a few nights. The site is peaceful and well-loved by Huw, with plenty on land to explore. If you time it right, you can even see the waters of the Taf flowing upstream as the tide changes and the river suddenly fills - magical! Simple but clean facilities - I loved the back to basics style, which is what camping should be! I also recommend trying the cider in the little honesty shop. Great location for walks, beaches, close to small towns.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely campsite, the owner was friendly and welcoming. The pitches were very spacious and all the facilities were clean and tidy. It was lovely to see the lambs and chickens and the wildlife, very relaxing to wander and sit by the river. The site has a good little shop which we bought some burgers and eggs from the owners animals.
We will definitely return.

Electric grass pitch
Liked We had a wonderful stay at The Marsh. The views are beautiful, the surroundings are very peaceful, and the facilities were perfectly clean and more than sufficient for our needs. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even nicer.
The campsite’s location on a farm added so much charm, with chickens, cows,and even the occasional rabbit keeping us company. We also loved the honesty shop, which offered lovely local produce.
Overall, it was such an enjoyable stay that we immediately booked to return. Highly recommend!

Great little camp site in a lovely area.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Clean site with well spaced pitches. Cute little shop with local produce, including on-site free range chicken eggs!! Clean and well maintained toilet and shower facilities. Huw is very friendly and a great source of local knowledge!
Disliked No hot water for washing up and no WiFi.

Lovely small campsite that was very peaceful and serene
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely small campsite that was very peaceful and serene. Absolute beautiful scenic views. Lovely walks with the dogs. The onsite facilities are very clean, tidy and spacious. The shower is fantastic. There is an elsan for your portaloo, dish washing facilities and a small shop onsite with fresh local produce almost every day. The owner Huw is very kind, helpful and friendly, explaining everything clearly, nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him. The electric hook up pitches are on hard standing and fairly level. We will definitely be coming back again.
Disliked The hard standing made it difficult to set up the awning. The chipping hard standing was uncomfortable to walk on. Electric pylons do spoil the vista but that is something we have to put up with everywhere in the UK.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review it's much appreciated.
I'm sorry you had difficulty setting up your awning I would purchase the correct awning pegs for hardstanding pitches this will safe you having difficulties in the future
Thanks Huw

Lovely site! Friendly owners. Level pitches. I’ll be going back 😁
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked I stayed on a non electric pitch just me and my dog. Absolutely beautiful location with lovely walks and views! The owners were lovely people and have an honesty box where you can buy eggs bacon and other local produce. Chemical disposal, shower available. Short distance from St Clears where there are a couple of pubs and local shops etc. honestly, I would recommend this site if you have a tent, camper van, motor home or caravan. The views are beautiful and the walks are more.
Disliked No hot water station to wash dishes etc but spoke to the owner and he said it’s next on the list of things to do.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Loved walking around the grounds discovering various ponds and places to sit and relax. Right on the coastal path and lovely local walks too. Lovely view and peaceful site. Fab shop with local produce on site. Huw, very welcoming and chatty.
Disliked Another toilet and shower would be good, however, £15 a night is great value so happy with this.
