Welcome

  • Small, peaceful family-run site just outside Marloes village
  • Among spectacular scenery a hike or short drive from the beach
  • Two and a half miles from boat trips to Skomer Island
Head way out west, almost to the far end of a Pembrokeshire peninsula and a peaceful break at Foxdale Campsite, on the edge of the village of Marloes: this small site 25 minutes’ drive west of Haverfordwest is surrounded by splendid scenery, and the pitches are fully sheltered from the breezes that occasionally buffet the nearby coast. There are some fab hikes around here (particularly for those who choose to treat their boots to a jaunt on the always-scenic Pembrokeshire Coast Path), and some equally excellent options for other ways to see this cracking stretch of coastline: might you be tempted by wildlife-watching boat trips, windsurfing days, surf lessons or galloping through the shallows on horseback perhaps? Such levels of activity aren’t compulsory, of course (cue sigh of relief from folks seeking flop time). The marvellous Marloes Sands is a mere mile and a half away for easy beach days – the place is so pretty it’s even earned itself a role in a Hollywood film (part of Snow White and the Huntsman was filmed here in 2011). To feed your outings (whatever they may be), settle in for meals at the pub a short stroll away. Takeaways and breakfasts are available from the on-site food trailer at weekends and during busy days during the summer (please call the site to check the availability before your stay). Essential amenities are all sorted on site: basic showers and toilets, laundry facilities, a fridge-freezer and a washing-up area. The village also has a pizza takeaway, a short walk away. The nearest shop is at a café in Dale, 10 minutes' drive away.

What customers say

This well-maintained, peaceful campsite offers friendly and helpful staff, with a strong emphasis on cleanliness. Visitors frequently praise the spacious, level pitches and the excellent, often newly updated, toilet and shower facilities. The on-site food van is a popular and convenient addition. Its location is ideal for exploring the Pembrokeshire coast, particularly for trips to Skomer Island. While some noted the remoteness and lack of nearby shops, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many intending to return.

Electric grass pitch

Liked I stayed here as it’s so close to Skomer Island parking and jetty. Maroles sands is a lovely beach. There just isn’t huge amounts to do In local area.
Friendly campsite and staff are lovely
Good clean toilets and shower blocks - showers were really hot and liked the clothes hanger, bench and sinks in each shower cubicle.
Great food van on site
Big pitches with hedges separating so added more privacy
Lots of wildlife/birds
I do recommend RunwaySklin for lunch

Disliked Not much to really dislike good value. Just in a very quiet area with no much to do.
No wifi but you can survive without it :)

Liked Nice well maintained site in a quiet area.

Disliked No enough toilets and showers for the number of people staying on the site.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments, and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We are engaged in a process of improvements which inevitably takes time. Guidelines for a basic campsite such as ours suggests 1 toilet and 1 shower per 10 pitches. We currently have 7 and 3 respectively, for 26 pitches, but hope to further improve that ratio over time.

Local attractions

The local beach – an energetic walk or a very short drive away – is clean, uncrowded Marloes Sands, a huge expanse of beach at low tide, with rockpools and unusual cliff formations for added drama. Turn your sights in the opposite direction to hit the north Pembrokeshire coast with a 10-minute drive for the views over St Bride’s Bay. Hop on a boat at nearby Martin’s Haven for the 15-minute crossing to Skokholm and Skomer islands, bliss for birdwatchers: as well as cormorants, razorbills and many other sea birds, between April and August the islands play home to a sizeable puffin colony. Skomer is also a good place to see grey seals, although you can often spot them from dry land as well, during the short walk around the cliff tops at Martin’s Haven Deer Park (no deer, but spectacular wildflowers and sea views). For active types, there are many more fab walks along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, as well as golf, sailing, windsurfing, sea fishing and pony trekking nearby. Also within a 45-minute drive are the teeny city of St Davids, family-friendly days at Oakwood Theme Park and Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo… plus Pembrokeshire beaches galore of course…
