Tor Cefn Farm

View prices & book Last booked 6 hours ago 9 21 reviews

Simple pitches at a Carmarthenshire farm, 10 minutes from Kidwelly
A 20-minute drive to Cefn Sidan beach; half an hour to Brecon Beacons
On-site woodland walk; access an uphill walk to Mynydd Llangyderyn

A campsite in the lovely Carmarthenshire countryside – now doesn’t that sound like a fine idea? Tor Cefn Farm is high up in the Gwendraeth area about 10 minutes’ drive from Kidwelly. Tracking down hiking trails with stunning scenery is another fine idea: and that’s easily done in this scenic part of the world. For starters there’s a little woodland walk on site (where you can sometimes spot buzzards and red kites), and you can take a good uphill walk to the top of Mynydd Llangyderyn in about 25 minutes. There are plenty of cycling routes around too, and you can get to the Wales Coast Path with a drive of about 20 minutes or the Brecon Beacons National Park in about half an hour. Back on site, it’s not all about the views – there are also chickens, ducks, sheep and goats to meet, and you may have a visit from Freddy the inquisitive cat. Facilities at the camping field are fairly basic (just a composting toilet, drinking water tap, a chemical disposal point and washdown area) but there’s a washroom with proper flushing loo and hot water up at the tearoom (about a 250-metre walk from the pitches).

Jul 2024 Chris P.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Quiet, accessible, well located for our purposes, casual ( no fixed pitches etc ). Nice grass. Plenty of potential. Pleasant owner who we only saw briefly once.

Disliked Run down appearance. It does not look like it did a few years ago and some of the facilities are now derelict/not in use anymore.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: What a ridiculous review! The facilities are clean in good order and exactly the same as they’ve always been and as described in the listing. The camping field is well maintained and is in particularly good condition this year due to all the rain we’ve had - There is a polytunnel beside the field which has been stripped ready for a new cover next week but that’s nothing to do with the camping field. Apologies if a work in progress offended your sensibilities but that is under maintenance and certainly not ‘derelict’.
As you can see from the previous reviews including a 10/10 from the day before you arrived your review is misplaced. We are not a commercial site and never will be.

A perfect camping experience. Will definitely be back. Loved the fact there…

Liked Lovely peaceful site and very clean.
Only thing I would say it would be better if the grass was a bit shorter and therefore the ground would of dried a bit quicker for walking through

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely little campsite, dark spot so great for star gazing if there are no clouds. Cut grass, mainly flat and trees to camp under for protection from the drizzle.
The free to use off the ground fire pits are a brilliant facility and you buy wood and fuel from the owner.
Lovely chap, very friendly.
Super value for money.
The compost toilet was spotlessly clean and had loads Andrex toilet rolls!!
The donkey is amusing to listen to at night time.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Local attractions

There are several country pubs a few minutes’ drive from the farm, but if you’d like to see where some of their provisions come from, stop by at the White Hart Inn (15 minutes’ drive), which has its own microbrewery, take a tour of Jabajak Vineyard (35 minutes), or head up to the visitor centre at Penderyn Distillery (50 minutes). There are lots of lovely spots to visit along the west Wales coast: head to Cefn Sidan beach (20 minutes) for a long, long sandy stretch, visit Dylan Thomas’s former home at Laugharne (half an hour) or cross into Pembrokeshire for days in Tenby (45 minutes). More active times for the kids can be had with the crazy golf, dry slope skiing and bike hire at Pembrey Country Park (20 minutes) or the many attractions of Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (40 minutes). You should also plan to stop in at Kidwelly Castle (15 minutes) or head up to Llandeilo (half an hour) for a walk to Dinefwr Castle.
