  • Dog-friendly farm site minutes away from Burry Port beach and harbour
  • A 10-minute drive from Pembrey Country Park; golf course nearby
  • Footpath access on site; farm shop, cafés and restaurants nearby
You may have rural roots on the dog-friendly farm site of Penllwyn Isaf Farm Campsite, but that doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice sand between your toes – not at all. The beach at Burry Port is only five minutes’ drive away. Kick off your shoes and sit back on the farm, soaking up the views of the Carmarthenshire coast or watching the dairy cows on their daily commute to get milked. Penllwyn Isaf Farm Campsite caters to families, couples and small groups, but there are no hen or stag parties allowed and no noise after 10pm to make for a peaceful stay for all. There’s a footpath that runs through the site that will take you down into the village of Pembrey in five minutes. Once there, get right to the action by joining a cycling track towards the Millennium Coastal Path. Of course, Burry Port’s harbour and sandy beach may take up a fair bit of your attention too. Watersports are on a roll there, and there are boating and cafés for a bite to eat afterwards. More on the food situation: there are a great deal of good eats to choose from around here, including a farm shop 10 minutes’ drive away for those more substantial bits, a neighbourhood restaurant 25 minutes’ walk away in Pembrey or a fish and chip shop down by the harbour. Other popular picks include a steakhouse 10 minutes’ drive away in Llanelli and a hotel restaurant alongside a golf course, five minutes’ drive away. The site also has a communal firepit where you’re welcome to cook too - or bring your own firepit bits along.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely, quiet campsite with breathtaking views. Clean shower and toilet block. Close to local beach and shops/eateries. This was our first camping trip as a family with two young children (7 and 4) we all thoroughly enjoyed, our children did not want to leave and asked if we can come again soon! Well organised and easy to find with detailed instructions from owners.

Madeleine B.

Bell tent

Liked We had a lovely stay at Penllwyn Isaf Farm - We were greeted by the owners on arrival as they were just finishing mowing the lawn around the bell tent.
The views from the campsite were lovely!
Great facilities - hot showers, clean toilets and well lit with some solar lighting.
The bell tent was very nicely presented and welcoming with all we needed for the night including marshmallows to toast on the campfire which our little one was very excited about!

Disliked We didn't dislike anything - Only thing I could perhaps suggest would be to provide some broomsticks in the showers (much like you get at a swimming pool) with rubber bristles to help sweep away the water in the shower and help clear up any grass / mud that's brought in from walking through the campsite field.

Kate B.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The view was delightful and was so peaceful. The owners were very friendly and responsive over text and on phone when enquiring about the Campsite and during our stay.
We arrived the first day it was open so had the place to ourselves which was an added bonus.
The shower and toilet blocks were clean. We stayed on a pitch overlooking the gorgeous view, however the toilet and shower blocks are a bit further down the hill, where there are more pitches to choose from, closer to the amenities and sheltered on windy days.
Our pitch was level and more than big enough to set up our TentBox and 6 person living tent with room to spare.

Local attractions

Sharpen up your swing at the local golf course (five minutes’ drive). Those more skilled in the art of horse-riding – or at least, keen to give it a good go - can take on a trek from the Pembrey Park Riding Centre (five minutes). Mount a bicycle instead at Pembrey Country Park (10 minutes). There’s a dry ski slope, a beach and gorgeous paths around the park - what a mix. The nearby Pembrey Circuit (10 minutes) will add a dose of more adrenaline, with racing events and driving experiences. Ffos Las Racecourse (10 minutes) has further racing and live music events too. Get into bargain-hunting mode at Trostre Retail Park (20 minutes) if you wish. You might cop a new outfit for the several family-friendly attractions within driving distance of the site. Manor Wildlife Park (55 minutes) has tigers, wallabies and lemurs. Dinosaur Park (an hour) is all about Jurassic beasts instead, with a dinosaur trail, rides and dinosaur-themed activities. Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (50 minutes) mixes together animal activities with a fairground.
