Peaceful semi-wild pitches at a Carmarthenshire farm near Cross Hands
Llandeilo and Aberglasney Gardens 20 minutes' drive away
Easy access from the A48 and M4; fresh chemical-free veg for sale

It’s all classic Carmarthenshire countryside around Glan y Glasnant Farm, where pitches are mown into long meadow grass and views look up towards the gorgeous green hills that cover this part of West Wales. From this spot, easily get out to the Gower Peninsula (from half an hour's drive) and Bannau Brycheiniog (from 20 minutes) with its Waterfall Country (40 minutes) for wild swimming. You can usually expect complete peace at this farm, which has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its work in preserving and encouraging natural wildflowers and pollinators. There’s lots of chemical-free veg growing within the gardens, with whatever’s in season available for guests to buy – maybe some courgettes or pumpkins, or a bag of fresh salad to go with your picnic dinner? You’re welcome to take a walk around the farm to see what’s growing and going on – and there are plenty of other places to get out for a walk nearby too, including hikes in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park and strolls along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path (both 20 minutes’ drive) as well as wanders along local public footpaths (with your dog if you’d like to bring them…) Maintaining the wild feeling is important to the owners, so they’ve kept the campsite off grid and just set up some simple amenities for guests including a mains water tap, a washing-up area, a compost separator toilet and a cold-water shower cubicle. Parking is separate from the pitches in order to keep everything safe and peaceful. You’ll probably feel like you’re out in the middle of nowhere here – but in fact this site is easy to access, as it’s less than a mile from Cross Hands on the A48 (giving you an easy link to/from the western end of the M4).

The entrance to Glan y Glasnant is between 81 and 83 Bryngwili Road. Look out for Watkins Timber Buildings and turn left. Come through the farm gate and close it after you. Drive down the track past the farmhouse and then follow the track past the wooden basketry studio to the large car park. Walk past the shower and the washing-up sink to the meadow. Wild campers can walk past the meadow and up the hill to choose a pitch and the staff will drive your gear up on the quad bike.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (wild)

Liked: Wonderful friendly hosts and a beautiful camp site. Back to basics camping but facilities were clean and you can’t beat a cold shower to wake you up in the morning. Falling asleep to the sound of the babbling brook was bliss. Felt super safe camping on my own and will definitely be returning next year!

Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass tent pitch (wild)

Liked: Very friendly owners and a very peaceful site tucked away from the world. I chose to stay on the little field by the stream but other options are available.

Disliked: Only a cold shower available but that seems normal for wild camping.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: This is as near to wild camping as you can get. Tent pitches on grass near the stream and the woods on the other side. Campervans on the next field in car parking area but still with the same gorgeous views. You are camping on a real farm with simple, clean fascilities. Everything you really need. Beautiful fresh veg is available grown on the farm and the firewood was excellent. Ideal base for exploring the Gower peninsula. Our first visit. We will be back.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Nice site if you want quiet seclusion in nice countryside.
