What customers say
This small, peaceful campsite offers breathtaking views and direct access to the coastal path. Guests frequently praise the friendly, helpful owners and the clean toilet facilities, with some highlighting a unique shower concept. Local pubs and villages are easily accessible. While many enjoyed the quiet, "no-frills" experience, a few guests noted issues with the toilet facilities, including the presence of urinals and potential insufficiency when busy, as well as a lack of a washing-up area.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Excellent location with exceptional hosts and much to do and see.
Electric optional grass touring pitch
Liked In my previous review, I neglected to mention some other aspects of the site and its location. St Ishmaels has a rich history and several sites of archaeological interest from Bronze Age, Roman, Middle Ages etc and more recent. The site itself has WWII gun emplacements, now used to support military veterans in their recovery. The church dates back to 1100 CE, and is open during the day. A short stroll from the church is Monkhaven Beach, also accessible along the coastal path from the site. St Ishmaels has much to offer, and Coast Path Camping is the perfect site from which to explore it.

Liked Sea view, friendly owners, small and quiet rural site on a working farm, very good value, lovely location walking distance to 2 small beaches and to St Ishmaels village, lots of indoor facilities in a barn including washing machine and dryer, fridge and freezer, cooker, sink, dining table, art area with sketch pads and art equipment and a separate snug with TV.

Electric optional grass touring pitch
Liked Amazing view, friendly staff. Electric hook up available. Very close to amazing beach’s by car.
Disliked Better sign on farm entrance as missed entry and ended on a single track which reversing back down was tricky.
Toilet and showers were basic like you would find at a festival, but clean.

Wonderful site, great for a relaxing break. Lovely hosts. And views!
Electric optional grass touring pitch
Liked This was a wonderful find! We loved it so much we extended our stay (luckily they had space). The site is well signposted from St Ishmaels, and we received a warm welcome on arrival from Flo, Phil and Flynn. There is ample space for pitches, and we were lucky to get prime position with incredible views over the bay. The site - on a working farm with cute, curious cattle and sheep (including some tame hand-reared sheep happy for a cuddle) - offers private access direct onto the coastal path, which is close to secluded Lindsway beach and also to Dale (do check tide tables before you set off, though!). There is also an excellent pub nearby in St Ishmael's (10 min walk), and the fleccsi bus for access to Dale and Marloes, should you prefer not to drive. Facilities include clean, well-stocked toilets and showers, washing space for dishes, drinking water point, EHU option, etc - everything you need. The closest shop (in Dale) has all the basics, with bigger supermarkets further away should you need more. Phil and Flo are exceptional hosts, and Flynn is delightful - playful and friendly - and your stay here is sure to be wonderful!
Disliked Nowt. Be aware, though, that the site can get breezy as it is right on the coast - great for drying washing, but make sure to hammer tent / awning pegs in well!

Liked Small field with nice views out to sea. Cows and sheep freely roaming about mowing the grass. Well equipped site with everything you need inc hot showers, toilets, pot washing etc. Very quiet and peaceful. Walked the coastal path which is accessible right from the site and a nice dog friendly local pub with a good range of meals.

Quite, small, simple campsite, excellent location, clean facilities.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Small, no nonsense campsite with direct access to coast path and great walks either side. Nice village with good pub too. Views great but obv its on the coast so be mindful where you pitch as it can get windy! They're currently working on converting one of the barns into a lounge area. I was unlucky enough to have my car break down whilst staying there and they were really kind and relaxed letting me stay in their barns whilst waiting for the RAC. Signposting to site was super, apart from coming onto the actual yard. Seeing as its the last farm on the road and their address is clearly displayed on entrance I should have just paid more attention probably. Good mobile phone reception too, which isn't always the case on the coast.
Disliked Earlier reviews mentioned urinals in both shower and toilet block which are shared gender. That was a bit weird to run the risk of coming across someone. That said, think most men actually used the toilet cubicles so wasn't an issue.

Happy to go there again, hoping to take family there next year.
Electric optional grass touring pitch
Liked The site itself was a fabulous level field with amazing views, near to the coast path.
The pub in the village serves lovely food.
Disliked The shower splashed water all over the floor in the block, with no way to clear it. We spoke to the owner who apologised and said there was a mop outside, but we pointed out that a clean one inside was needed.
There were urinals in both toilet blocks, which as a woman made me feel uncomfortable, although they were clean.
