  • Small family-run Pembrokeshire site with dog-friendly grassy pitches
  • A 35-minute walk from Saundersfoot and a five-minute drive to Tenby
  • Barbecues welcome; farm shop within five minutes' walk
Gold-sand coves, limestone stacks and fishing harbours… get your Pembrokeshire fix at Crane Cross Camping Park. Based just 35 minutes’ walk from Saundersfoot, where the sandy cove has shallow bathing water, this small family-run site has a splendid location alright. Tenby, a popular Pembrokeshire seaside town with a castle, 13th-century walls and a harbour where boats depart to Caldey Island, is only five minutes’ drive away too. Dog-friendly? Indeed. Barbecues welcome? That too.Handy facilities? Of course. There’s a fridge and freezer in case you want to store fresh eats from the farm shop five minutes’ walk away. Other on-site facilities are handy and include ladies and gents’ toilets, handwashing basins, unisex showers, shaver points, washing-up facilities, an ironing board and hot and cold water. For an additional cost, there’s also a washing machine, dryer and payphone available. For the kids, meanwhile, there's a sand play area where they can dig, explore and make friends. The site only accepts families and couples, which keeps things nice and peaceful. Dogs are welcome too as long as they're kept on leads… It's a cracking location for walks for canines (or humans), with the countryside and coast so easily accessible.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Really lovely campsite, lots of little touches that you don't usually find camping. Site was well maintained and really clean. We saw lots of the owners, checking in and around the site throughout the day cleaning and restocking.
The park was lovely, we even saw the owner completing park checks which was really reassuring.
Crane cross is exactly what we look for in a camp site and even though we found it by chance booking a last minute trip over the bank holiday weekend we would definitely come back.

Disliked: There are honestly no complaints.. everything was perfect for us

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Not a bad site a little rough round the edges but we still enjoyed our stay. The site is well kept and clean our pitch was on quite a slope but we managed.The facilities are very basic and in need off an upgrade but they are clean and the water is warm luckily the weather was fairly mild I wouldn't like to use the showers in colder weather. The bus stop I believe is quite a walk away and unfortunately I suffer with back problems so we used the local taxi service to go into Tenby which was lovely, smaller than I imagined but loved it especially the Cornish pasty and Cream Tea's. We also used the local Chinese takeout which we had delivered and it was gorgeous. Overall we had a lovely stay.

Disliked: The site would really benefit from modern facilities.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Beautiful, quiet, well-kept site. Spotless facilities. Our young children loved the Playpark and Swing-Ball.
Lovely personal text message from the owners on the morning of arrival, directing us to our pitch. Owners were very friendly and helpful.
Secure enclosed dog exercise area was a huge hit with our dog. Paws up from her.
Definitely our favourite site so far and we'll definitely be returning soon.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: What wasn’t to like - everything from meeting the owner who was super helpful to everything on the site being absolutely spotlessly clean. Best site I’ve stayed at in a long time

Disliked: Having to write a good review and risking the site not having a space next time I visit as it’s become too busy

Seriously nothing to dislike

Local attractions

Pembrokeshire has got a few tricks up its sleeves for those who want a thrill (or two, or three). Oakwood Theme Park (15 minutes’ drive) has rollercoasters and water rides, including loop-the-loops or family-friendly coasters. Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (10 minutes) is its softer alternative, with over 750 animals and vintage fairground rides. Paintball, golf, archery, fishing… get your dose at Heatherton World of Activities (five minutes). If you’re still craving animals, however, Manor Wildlife Park (five minutes) has a walking safari where guests can have a go at feeding the wallabies. You bet that Pembrokeshire also has some gorgeous coastal path sections, with excellently clear waters and geological formations. The Green Bridge, Elugug Stacks and The Cauldron are all half an hour’s drive away, as is Saint Govan’s Chapel by the sea and the sandy Broad Haven South beach (half an hour), backed by a lily pond.
