  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked LOVED this place. We stayed an extra couple of nights. Two fields, sloping but flat(ish) areas available. Good to get out and walk around before pitching as windy at times but there is lots of natural shelter if you pick well. Met Bethan who was lovely as was her son, it is very much a run itself campsite. Other campers were very considerate. Loved the barn and use of the freezer and fridge. Excellent location, 20 min walk to beach, St Davids a few minutes drive. Cold shower welcome in hot weather. I would suggest if you need a hot shower take some of the solar shower bags and use the cubicles. Good washing up area. Spectacular views. Just loved loved loved this site and we will come back.

Liked The views are amazing! The facilities are great for first time campers. There were flushing toilets and showers, also a brilliant barn with electric, picnic benches and fridge freezers. They also had free fire pits you could borrow while you were there.

Disliked No staff about really, but that was all.

Liked What I liked was how peaceful and quiet it was. The field was plenty big enough so everyone could spread out.
All we wanted was a Field and toilets and that's exactly what we got.
They have toilets, washing up facilities and cold water showers.

Highly recommended.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Fabulous and atmospheric unspoilt location. So peaceful. So easy to book line and just drive in and park up. Can arrive anytime which was a bonus as arrived late (9.40pm). Such a good price and although basic, had all we needed. If you’re into your cold showers this one’s for you….like I said, basic but still had this facility. Liked the idea of a free fire pit with wood supply if you fancied sitting by a camp fire of an evening. Big barn with picnic benches and pool table to keep you entertained if raining or feeling competitive. All in all a relaxing 2 days and will definitely be back. Short walk to bus stop for bus to St David’s or for walkers the coastal path is also a short distance.

Disliked Not much to dislike. But if you’re not a fan of basic toilet facilities it will be a struggle. Not a problem for us though.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely campsite with both flat and sloped pitches. Fantastic views out to St. Davids and the surrounding countryside. Rustic facilities, but the cold shower was very welcome after a very sunny and warm hike.
Friendly owners and easy check-in (book online and park up).
Only a short walk to St. Justinian's and the Coastal Path, can recommend the walk to Whitesands Bay and back. Walk to St. Davids is also very manageable, or under 10mins by car.

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.
