  • Small family-friendly site with spectacular Towy valley views
  • Under half an hour's drive from the edge of the Brecon Beacons
  • Herb boxes and hedgerows on site for foraging
Escapades through Welsh countryside, adventures in the great wide open and boating jaunts through a National Park… At Quarry Lodge Camping, a tiny family-friendly site in south Wales less than five minutes’ drive from the Carmarthenshire village of White Mill and 10 minutes from Carmarthen town, you’re all set for an active getaway. Quarry Lodge is less than half an hour from the edge of Brecon Beacons National Park, where you can live your best outdoorsy life with abseiling, biking, walking, riding, rock climbing, canoeing and rafting or, for a challenge, head for the Brecon Beacons an hour and 45 minutes away. If coastal walks are more likely to put the wind in your sails, head seaward with a jaunt to New Quay, just under an hour from base, to join the Wales Coast Path along Cardigan Bay. When your legs are demanding a rest day, chill out on site – it’s quietly rural and you can put your feet up while taking in views over the spectacular Towy valley. When you’re rested just enough for a stiff-legged walk, meander into White Mill (10 minutes' stroll), the local village. If your feet are still protesting, you can stick around site instead: get that barbecue stoked up and load it up with supplies from the White Mill shop. Want to give a little extra flair to the tired old munch? Wander over to the wild hedgerows and herb boxes, where you can forage for a little something to liven it all up.

What customers say

This cosy family campsite offers a chill escape with ripper country views. Legends owners, especially Linda, are super friendly & helpful with local tips. New showers get a big tick for being clean & tops. Kids love the games room & outdoor fun. While some older bits need a spruce, it's a top spot for a cruisy break.

Sarah W.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Fantastic site with a warm welcome.
Low carbon tariff for arrival by bike and also excellent kitchen facilities with kettle and fridge.
Toilets and showers were excellent and clean, including having chairs and hooks in the shower cubicle.
We were given 2 folding chairs to sit on, and when we stayed again on our way back from the southwest our chairs were already set up on the pitch.
Dry undercover area to store our bikes which was also useful when we had to pack up in the rain.
Pitches were well spaced and very comfortable with excellent views.
Would definitely visit again if we’re in the area and wholeheartedly recommend the site

Disliked Nothing (other than the hill we had to cycle up to get there!)

Liked Linda was a fab host, very welcoming, funny and knowledgable. Nice side-on pitch with plenty of space. Lovely views, and the the shower block was possibly the nicest one we have ever used. Good mobile/tv signal, chem disposal, fresh water, campfires and BBQ allowed. Uber Eats delivers from the local co-op if you forget anything like we did. Very nice small, quiet site, that ticked all the boxes for a relaxing weekend. I can see me going again this year, even just to work from as a change of scenery. Highly receommended.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked A super friendly and environmentally conscious campsite. I was cycle touring and nothing was too much trouble for Linda. Great wash facilities and some lovely communal outdoor/covered areas. Great in inclement weather and beautiful the rest of the time too!

Disliked The last 100 metres cycling up the hill to the entrance! But worth the push.

Local attractions

History buffs should surely be fans of this part of Carmarthenshire: Dinefwr, Llansteffan and Kidwelly castles are all within about half an hour, the National Trust has some fab properties nearby (Dolaucothi Gold Mines and the house and park at Dinefwr are musts) and you can nab a glimpse into the past under someone else’s steam by climbing aboard the Gwili Steam Railway, 10 minutes away. Prefer to get out and about for a stroll in nature? The National Botanic Garden of Wales, where you can traipse through acres of countryside, formal gardens and nature reserve, is a little over 10 minutes from base, and the spectacular Aberglasney Gardens are within 15. If all the rural is beginning to grate, head straight for Swansea (45 minutes away) for a taste of the urban – there are museums, markets, pubs and restaurants to check out, as well as plenty of shops. Make a 45-minute beeline for Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo or Oakwood Theme Park when the kids start to whine, and let their pumping adrenaline get them back on side.
