Family-friendly site on a family-run smallholding with sea views
A 10-minute drive to Manorbier beach and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path
Firepits available for hire; play area and toys on site; pubs close by

Highland View Camping and Glamping will throw you headfirst into Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. A laidback site where families are welcome, you’ll be able to soak in distant sea views by the day and stargaze at night thanks to the location in a low light pollution area. When you want to admire the sea up close too, you’re in luck, as the closest beach is only 10 minutes’ drive away (a prime spot for paddleboarding), as is the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Other ways to unwind at this eco-friendly site include off-ground firepits and barbecues – and handily, if you don’t have your own, there are firepits and wood available for a small charge. The site has board games and a play park too, which includes two trampolines, bikes and ride-on toy tractors (a likely way to tire out the kids while you kick back with a drink and admire the views). Alongside a kitchen/cooking area there's a small washing-up area where you can deal with any leftover pots and pans from your meals. Elsewhere, there’s composting toilets, a urinal and a hot water shower. While the patch itself is rural (and that’s not something you’ll forget, thanks to the surrounding fields and piglets on site), there’s easy access to bigger places such as Tenby or Pembroke from the A477, just a few kilometres away. As for food (that’s surely on your brain), there’s a farm shop, fish and chip shop and pubs serving food within three miles of the site. Interested in paddleboarding? Highland View Camping and Glamping can arrange hire with a reputable company on your behalf – they can even be delivered straight to the site.

Route directions

The postcode takes you to the farm just past the site – do not go down the difficult track to Hayes Farm. The site is just after where the road narrows if coming from Milton. There is a wooden 'campsite' sign outside the gate, along with a big oak tree; opposite you'll see a mirror and telephone mast.

Bell tent (six person)

Liked: safe, small campsite, with a play area where the children gathered. Richard was very helpful and I loved having the off the ground firepit at night. The tent and linen provided was very comfortable, the eggs from his chickens yummy. thank you! as everyone has said before, literally 10 minutes from everywhere!

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Brilliant location, great facilities if required for camping.Friendly staff, always have time for a chat. Well looked after animals on site also for the kids to look at. Playground facilities , basic but does the job to keep them occupied, even a punchbag.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: We stayed for x2 nights here with our 3 year old son. The play area was great for young children. The site has x2 compost toilets which were in good condition and also x1 shower with hot strong water. The campsite has lovely views towards the sea and is in an excellent location for exploring the coast. The owner is relaxed, welcoming and friendly. Would stay here again, it was very suitable for families.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Compost toilets and the solar showers. The layout of the campsite. The views are also really good as it is on a hill. The owner was very relaxed and friendly.

Disliked: The campsite owner does not enforce a curfew for noise. This unfortunately meant we were kept awake until 0300 with a party going on in the tents next door, with loud music, shouting, agressive behaviour and noisy children in a big group of people. This is the reason for putting we wouldn't return or recommend to a friend.

Liked: Location

Disliked: The 2 toilets were not cleaned often enough and was not enough for the over crowded campsite, 1 shower which was okay but definitely needed more, the children’s play area staying open all night, the over crowded campsite - far too many campers for the size campsite.
