Overlooking the sea (added by manager 12 sep 2019)

Family-run site situated on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path
Direct access to Porthsele beach; a mile from Whitesands
Farm shop, coffee hut, bar and pizzas available in high season

Fancy a stay on a family-run farm… with direct access to a beach below? Make your way to Pencarnan Farm Caravan and Camping Site, a 96-acre farm overlooking Porthsele beach on the Pembrokeshire coast. The site is on the most western tip of Pembrokeshire, with views of St Georges Channel connecting the Irish and Celtic seas. You'll be in good company with a stay here: generations of the same family have been running the site since the mid-1950s, a holiday spot for guests who return year after year – some with their kids and grandkids now in tow. This place is just the ticket for outdoor adventures too, as it's set directly above Porthsele beach (with private vehicle access so you can cart all your kit along with you). The sea and bay are safe for swimming and kayaking, and there are plenty of rockpools to explore at low tide. If you haven’t got your fill of sea breeze, surfing beach Whitesands is a one-mile walk along the coastal path or, if you’re feeling adventurous, a half-mile swim or kayak from Porthsele. Sorting supplies is easy at the farm too: in the high season, a site shop is on hand with camping and food supplies, wetsuits and logs for beach fires, and a coffee hut opens every day. A bar and pizzas are also available at peak times.

Beach Field non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Nice site, lovely views and decent pitches. Just a few steps down to the beach which was beautiful. The facilities on the courtyard were pretty good and the people in the shop were very friendly.

Disliked: Came home early due to the weather which was obviously no fault of the campsite. Very remote but that's what you get when you're looking for the scenery and there was a small shop on site. Very expensive for what is actually there though.

Beach Field non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: View from my pitch across the cliffs and out to sea was excellent. Facilities were clean. On site pizza was great. It was very quiet. The beach was a 30 second walk away, always quiet, great for playing with the dog or taking a dip. The walk along the cliffs was also lovely.

3-amp Ramsey Island Field electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: This campsite is just perfect. Lovely facilities, good showers & very clean. Loved the extra touches & wood-fired pizza for tea. You can’t get better. Just under 2 miles to St David’s & a short walk from the site to a beach. What’s not to like. Friendly staff is the cherry on the top of a great site.

Disliked: Having to go home

Local attractions

This is heaven for beach buffs: Porthsele and Whitesands beaches are both within walking distance of Pencarnan. At Porthsele, take your pick from kayaking, surfing and paddleboarding from its sandy shore; if fishing's more your bag you can fish for mackerel, pollock and seabass from the beach and from certain points on the cliff around Pencarnan's land. There are also a few marked climbing spots around the cliffs on the land and some good entry points for coasteering or a coastal swim back to Porthsele beach… followed back at base with a sunset beach fire or barbecue to end the day. The famed surfing centre of Whitesands, a mile away on the coast path from Pencarnan, has a café, deckchairs and wetsuit hire, plus lifeguards in the summer months. Heading south, St Justinian’s (under a mile away along the coast path) is home to RNLI St Davids Lifeboat Station and a departure point for boat trips around, onto and beyond Ramsey Island to spy seals, seabirds, porpoises, whales, dolphins and sharks. Make time too for a trip to the tiny city of St Davids, to browse its shops and galleries and take a look at sixth-century St Davids Cathedral.
