  • Small family-run site with sea views at Fishguard in Pembrokeshire
  • In Pembrokeshire Coast National Park; Preseli Hills 15 minutes’ drive
  • Private toilets and showers for each pitch; café discounts for guests
You’ll be greeted by fresh sea air and views of Dinas Head and the Preseli Hills at Glasfryn Escapes, a small family-run campsite located above Fishguard Bay in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The site is kept small and natural, with pitches mown out of long meadow grasses, and you can look forward to amazing sunsets on clear nights. The pitches are big enough for families to pitch up together, with the kids, granny and the dog all sitting around the campfire enjoying an alfresco supper after a day at the beach. There’s also space to cosy up under a blanket and under the stars with your love and a glass of wine. This is a simple site but offers a few luxuries to keep you smiling. Modern toilets and showers (one for each pitch, so there’s no sharing) provide a bit of home comfort so you can wash the salt and sand from your hair. Thoughtful amenities also include a hairdryer, washing-up area, fridge/freezer to store your perishables and charging points. Wifi is only available at reception, but best of all, camping guests get a discount on the fare at the on-site Red Onion Garden Café. The welcoming site owners are on hand to make your stay in Pembrokeshire the very best they can; they are happy to share their knowledge of the area with you.

What customers say

Guests consistently praise the beautiful location, with many highlighting the convenience of private toilet and shower facilities per pitch. Spacious, well-spaced pitches and peaceful surroundings are frequently mentioned. Some reviews note an expensive feel and issues with pitch levelling. An incident involving poor pitch allocation and customer service was reported, though other guests found staff helpful. The on-site cafe is popular. Improvements to the site approach are suggested.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely peaceful site, huge pitches, great facilities, very quiet. Pitches are nicely spaced apart and private.

The private toilet per pitch is excellent. We stayed for a week and had our own bathroom with a flushing toilet, lovely and clean, very handy to be able to leave towels etc in there! Shower had great pressure and hot water, plenty of fridge/freezer space and washing up facilities. Plugs available for charging.

Lovely view down to the sea. Cafe was lovely and the owners were friendly and helpful. Five minute drive to Fishguard and close to lots of other towns.

 Mick C. 1 review

Bay View electric optional grass pitch

Liked Around 20 Free range chickens wandering peacefully around tents and vans! Site was fairly quiet so we were allocated a bathroom / shower/ toilet with our name on for exclusive use. Nice touch. Lovely views across to Fishguard Harbour and the sea front.
The site was nicely situated in the countryside but is well located with just a short 10-15 minute walk into centre of Fishguard.
We were a little late arriving but site owner Gareth was patiently waiting for us with a warm welcome. We were left to our own devices after that and not disturbed. The small communal cabin is very well stocked and has lots of useful facilities, games, books, and good information boards. All plumbing worked excellently and shower was warm and clean.
Picnic table and firepit available next to the pitch.

Disliked Only downside for us was the approach road to the campervan sites which is a bit of a building site / assortment of industrial waste material and unfinished projects. For children playing close to this area there might be a dangerous temptation for exploration.
The recycling area could be closer to the sites and we couldn't use the food waste area due to not having any compostable bags with us (maybe provide these?).
Shame that we were unable to access the cafe/shop for the 2 days we were there but we do appreciate that it is October and a little out of season.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Location, amenities, view. The cafe and breakfast, was amazing, worth a visit. Each pitch had a well built table, and chairs and fire pit.

Disliked Nothing really, weather could have been a little better but outside their control. The only think I would change is make the shower rooms a little bigger, as it was a bit small to shower, change etc, especially as my dog was with me (I would not leave him alone)..

Local attractions

First stop on any daytime perambulations of the region may be Pembrokeshire Coast National Park (direct access from the site) with stunning beaches, almost-deserted bays and spectacular cliffs. It can be explored in a host of ways: the coast path is accessed in Lower Town Fishguard (20 minutes’ walk), and there’s also a coastal bus route from Fishguard to other towns like New Quay and Aberporth along the coastline. For an up-close-and-personal experience of the Pembrokeshire region, you can try your hand at kayaking, surfing and coasteering (20 minutes’ drive) along the rugged coastline, go pony trekking (15 minutes) in the countryside or go mountain biking in the Preseli Hills (also 15 minutes). The traditional seaside town of Tenby (50 minutes) has two soft sandy beaches, and Newgale (25 minutes) a vast expanse of golden sand. Their lively vibe contrasts neatly with quiet fishing hamlets such as Porthgain (20 minutes) and secret coves along the coast (the owners will tell you all about those when you arrive at Glasfryn).
