  • 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.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Everything. We had an electric pitch and as soon as we arrived this campsite had a good vibe about it. The owner (Linda) is the perfect host. Totally put us at ease and so helpful. One of our neighbours said they travel up from Margate for two weeks at a time (thats an 8hrs drive) to stay here.. their fourth time in a row. Says it all. Lovely views across the hills. Fantastic neat clean facilities and our kids (even us big kids) really enjoyed the games area. We will be back.

Liked Owners were lovely and very helpful. Great knowledge of places to go and things to do.
The views from the campsite are beautiful.
Facilities kept really clean and well stocked.
Lovely and quiet. Games room was a bonus and a hit with us and the kids
Not far from the main road but far enough to be peaceful.
We will definitely return.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked The pitches are very generous in size and it’s not over crowded. Linda is a fabulous host, very welcoming and helpful. My 2 year old daughter loved to see the horse each morning and also loved going for walks around the campsite. The game room is also a great addition, especially if someone is coming with older children. You can also buy some free range eggs. Toilets are always very clean and we never had to wait in a queue to use the toilet or a shower.

Disliked My husband disliked the amount of flies that there were, but it’s expected when there are farm animals near the campsite. It didn’t bother me though.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked A great little farm campsite with everything you need for a relaxed, quiet stay in the countryside. Linda is very friendly and helpful. The games area was an added bonus for the little one. Showers/Toilets were very spacious and clean. Pitch was hardstanding and flat. Everything we needed for a stop over as we were passing through further south.

Liked Super friendly and helpful hosts. Lovely site with lovely facilities and level pitches. There was beautiful scenery all around. It was very peaceful. The children had a swing and games to play which was great for them. I met a family who have been returning for 10 years so that shows how good it is there. I’ll be returning too.

Disliked Nothing.

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!)

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.
