Picked Pembrokeshire as your destination because of the scenery? You’ll be able to soak it up at all hours when staying at Llys-y-frân Lakeview Campsite – this family-friendly site is on the banks of Llys-y-frân Reservoir, with fabulous watery views (at their best at sunset, thanks to the site’s west-facing location). You may well want to spend a fair amount of time simply looking out over the lake while you’re here – perhaps from a table at the Lakeside Café, which serves up hot drinks and sweet treats as well as a lunchtime menu of hot food showcasing top-notch local produce. Alternatively, bring your fishing kit and settle in for a relaxed day trying to catch trout from the lakeshore or one of the electric boats. Got something more energetic in mind? You’ll be sorted too, as the terraced site slopes down to an activity centre where you can book kayaking, canoeing and paddleboarding sessions or hire bikes to hit the lakeside path or mountain bike trails. For other land-based activities, have a go at archery or channel your inner Celt with some axe throwing. For the younger adventurers, there are off-road six-wheeler ‘Crazi Bugz’ vehicles to drive, a climbing wall and an adventure playground. For something slower-paced, try woodland walks from the site, or set out a feast at one of the picnic spots. Dogs are also catered for with an agility playground. Practical facilities include hot showers, toilets in the activity centre, chemical disposal point, a washing-up area, a gift shop and wifi in the visitor centre. The village of Rosebush (10 minutes’ drive) is home to a characterful pub offering a traditional Welsh experience.

Liked: Well maintained pitches in an amazing location overlooking the lake. If you like walking this is a great place for you as the walkways take you around the lake. The area houses many bird species including Canada Geese and there are many rabbits. The lake is full of trout for those wishing to fish. The toilet and shower facilities are new and are very clean. During the summer months there will be more activities. The shop and cafe is also newly built, it is clean and has a lovely view of the lake and surrounding countryside. The site is very peaceful and quiet.

Disliked: Pitching our awning was too difficult and so we had to abandon it. This was due to the ground which is too hard to put tent pegs into, ours just bent. So if anyone intents to put sides on an awning, strong rockpegs are recommended. Mens showers are one communal room, (the womens are separate cubicles.

We will be back! We loved our weekend here.

Liked: This is an amazing site! We loved our first time camping here . The facilities are immaculate and fabulous. Every member of staff was smiling, friendly, chatty and lovely. You can tell people love working here. The cafe food was amazing...great gluten free options throughout the day...and an out of this world dog menu too!! Great shop too if you forget to bring some basics. Dogs were allowed on leads everywhere on site. We took part in swimming, running and archery over the weekend. (We will be back with our bikes next time). Security and safety day and night were excellent, as we came and went out at night to a local pub for dinner. We felt our car and kit was safe 24/7.

Disliked: This is not a dislike but a request....can you please put on more swimming life guards to enable us to swim more often during the day. It would be wonderful, as the clocks have now changed if there was a sunrise and sunset swim opportunity. Even if just for 1 hour for people staying on site. You have an amazing location and facilities for Triathlon training!!

From the manager: Thank you, for your fabulous review. We are looking at dates for future sunset activities. Triathlon training location is a great suggestion. It was a joy to see you all having such fun. We look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Liked: Very friendly staff! Great facilities - full hook up and a flat surface for our campervan. Beautiful views over the reservoir, valleys and hills of Pembrokeshire On-site cafe (not open 24 hrs) and small shop

Disliked: Would ideally like more variety of food shopping in the cafe/shop for more hours, as nearest grocery store is some distance away!

Local attractions

There’s a lot to do on site, for sure – but there’s also plenty to keep you busy when venturing out into your surroundings. The Pembrokeshire coast, for example, is less than half an hour’s drive away, for beach days in the likes of Broad Haven (half an hour’s drive), the ever-popular Tenby or its neighbour Saundersfoot (both 40 minutes). Pembrokeshire’s packed with historic places to visit too, including the lovely little city of St Davids (40 minutes), with its ancient cathedral and Bishops’ Palace. Carew Castle & Tidal Mill (35 minutes) is also worth a visit, to hear the tale of the castle’s 2000-year history and see the only restored tidal mill in Wales. If that’s not the kind of thing your kids are keen on, perhaps instead plan trips to the Pembrokeshire Llama Sanctuary (15 minutes), Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (half an hour) or the action-packed Heatherton World of Activities (35 minutes) for things like paintballing, ziplines and crazy golf.
