  • Simple back-to-nature site in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park
  • Boat trips around Ramsey, Skomer and Grassholm a short walk away
  • Spacious grassy pitches, spectacular views and close to the coast
If all you require from a retreat on the Pembrokeshire coast is wide open skies, plenty of grassy space and spectacular views towards St Davids and lush Welsh countryside, it’s a safe bet that Rhosson Campsite will very much float your boat. This family-run site in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is a 10-minute walk from the St Davids Lifeboat Station at St Justinian – also the departure point for boat trips around the islands of Ramsey, Skomer and Grassholm – and is half an hour’s walk from the teeny city. Set across two spacious grassy fields, this is a back-to-basics site that aims to keep things nice and simple. When you arrive, pick yourself a preferable pitch in one of two large fields overlooking the spectacular Pembrokeshire countryside; most are on a gentle downhill slope, with some flatter pitches available near the bottom of the field. As befits a simplistic site such as this, there’s oodles of space for kids to bound about and play ball games in, and campfires are also actively encouraged, so be sure to bring plenty of eats, a well-tuned guitar and your very best scary stories… Amenities include cold running water suitable for drinking and washing, as well as outdoor cold showers, and separate ladies’ and gents’ toilets. This site is generally left to run itself so isn’t always staffed – but you'll be provided with contact details should ever you need to get hold of someone.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, back-to-basics campsite with stunning views and a great location for coastal walks and visiting St David's. Guests appreciate the spacious pitches, affordability, and the communal barn with fridge/freezer access. Facilities are generally clean and adequate for the price, though cold showers and dated toilets are frequently mentioned. Some visitors noted occasional noise from other campers.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Cheap! Peaceful 😌 Pool table for free and charge points. Second year in a row I’ve been there.

Disliked Loos aren’t the finest, it’s a bit like semi-wild camping in this respect. Doesn’t bother me but won’t be for everyone.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked The campsite is two open fields with incredible views. You can pitch up wherever you like. The location is great. You can walk to the coastline paths and St David's is close by. The site is well kept and is lovely. Would definitely return if the two dislikes were fixed.

Disliked There were 6 dogs on the site not on leads. We have an anxious dog (who is on a lead at all times) and we couldn't fully relax when outside with him incase a dog came over. There were 2 dogs in particular that came over to our dog and were aggressive. They then tried to approach our dog every time we walked past their pitch (which was on the exit to the field). It seems dogs are allowed off lead here.

The toilets are also in desperate need of refurbishment. You can't put toilet roll down the toilet so people's poo tissues are sometimes on display in the bin.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Beautiful location, quiet and scenic. Allow dogs, BBQ's and groups, very friendly staff - great.

Disliked Toilet block. I don't mind basic, but only having one men's toilet for about 50-60 men/ boys onsite during busy periods is not enough (there are two ladies toilets). Last year there were 3 portaloos provided onsite as well but they were not there this year. There is no hot water, so brace yourself for a cold shower with no screen inside the very basic cubicle to stop your clothes getting soaked when you hang them up. There is only one sink to wash up at (cold water).

Local attractions

As the site's right in the middle of the Pembrokeshire National Coast Park, there’s a whole heap to do around here. Start off at the RNLI St Davids Lifeboat Station at St Justinian to take a boat tour around Ramsey, Skomer and Grassholm and to look out for seals, porpoises, dolphins and whales. A short two-mile drive (or half an hour’s walk) away is the handsome city of St Davids, with a 12th-century cathedral, the ruins of the medieval Bishops Palace and a good collection of independent shops and excellent eateries to peruse. Spectacular beaches fringe this area’s coastline too: a short walk away is the enclosed sandy cove of Porthsele, a splendid and peaceful spot for open beach fires and sunset gazing. Award-winning Whitesands, famed for its soft golden sands, clear waters and watersports, is the most popular beach on the peninsula and an easy three-mile drive from Rhosson, or if you’re confident when it comes to navigating tide times, you can walk to it at low tide from Porthsele. For outdoorsy and adventurous activities, a company based in St Davids organises activities such as coasteering, kayaking, surfing, and climbing for individuals and groups.
