  • Small and friendly site on a Carmarthenshire family smallholding
  • A five-minute drive from Kidwelly; 15 mins from Pembrey Country Park
  • Meet, feed, groom and handle the farm animals during your stay
It’s been proven that there are many benefits to interacting with animals – including a reduction in blood pressure and a boost to your overall mood. It stands to reason, then, that you can quickly expect to feel cheerful and chilled out when you stay at Parc Y Mynydd Camping, where you’ll be sharing the site with a friendly menagerie of goats, pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens and a Shetland pony (among others). This friendly little site is part of a family smallholding in the peaceful Carmarthenshire countryside, with views over Ffos Las, Pembrey Mountain and the coastline. You’ll be welcomed into the gang when you stay here, with the chance to meet, feed, groom, handle and learn about the farm animals that live here. As a pop-up farm site, the facilities here are on the simple side, with a toilet block but no showers on site. In a clever move, the team here have set up two different camping areas: one that allows dogs and the other that’s kept pet free for those who prefer it that way. They’ll also make the effort to group families with small children together and keep older families and couples in a different area so that you’re always likely to be around like-minded guests. Barbecues and campfires are both allowed at this farm site, so it’s a good idea to stop by in the local town of Kidwelly (five minutes’ drive away) to pick up the necessaries for an evening by the flames. The town has a couple of pubs, cafés and takeaways too if you’d rather someone else did the cooking.

Liked: Fantastic pitch, fantastic hosts. The kids loved the animals and our dog loved the nature walk. Toilets were kept clean. It's clearly stated when booking what facilities are not available, so we were fully prepared not to shower and brought our own drinking water. 100% stay again 👍

Front Field powered grass tent or campervan site

Liked: We had a lovely stay on the lower field on the electric hook up pitch. We loved the site and are super excited to see how it develops in the future. No showers at the moment but they are in the process of being installed. There was a trampoline for campers use and this was a godsend. We travel with a disabled child and a CPAP breathing machine and this site was perfectly accessible and accommodating of our needs. We had a lovely welcome from Josi. We took full advantage of being able to feed the animals and the woodland word search was a huge hit. We look forward to staying again.

Disliked: Slightly uneven pitch but we got used to it and it was in such a lovely location.

From the manager: Thank you so much Kathryn for your kind and honest review. I am so glad we were able to meet your needs as a family. We look forward to seeing you all here again 😃

Top Field unpowered grass tent site

Liked: What a beautiful place to stay. Was so peaceful. Josie and her husband were absolutely fantastic. And a kind man, farm help (didn't get his name) was so kind and helpful. Nothing was a problem. We loved staying there. My daughter who is 14 absolutely loved being there, she loved the petting farm. She fed all the animals and loved spending time with them. She wants to live there. Ha ha. Which I have told her wouldn't be possible. But we will be camping there on a regular. The shooting stars were amazing to watch up on that feild. In pure darkness. Myself and my son loved it.Thank you for having us.

From the manager: What an amazing review! 🥰 Thank you so much Amanda. We are so glad you all enjoyed your stay, and seeing the animals. We loved meeting you all and will look forward to seeing you here again.

Top Field unpowered grass tent site

Liked: We loved absolutely everything! We stayed in the top field and the views were beautiful, there was a gorgeous little woods on site that you could forage fire wood and nature walks, very idilic setting. We loved that there was so many animals on site, especially all the baby bunnies and goats! The owners were so lovely, Josi always had time to stop and talk about the animals and was incredibly helpful. Perfect location for beautiful beaches and castles. Our new favourite campsite, perfect for family camping. Will definitely be coming back!

Disliked: Nothing at all!

Top Field unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Our new favourite Carmarthenshire campsite! We stayed with friends in the top field with outstanding views across the countryside, very large generous size pitches each with a fire pit. Great forest next to the pitches to forage for wood for the open fire which was enjoyed for hours whilst stargazing. The onsite animals were so lovely and cute, the children loved the cuddles with the baby rabbits. Toilets were very clean and tidy throughout our stay. We are already making plans to return to this site, 110% recommended.

Local attractions

Going into Kidwelly shouldn’t just be about finding food – the town is also home to a splendid Norman castle in such a classic style that it featured in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Of course, you’re never that far from a castle in Wales, so you may also like to visit Llansteffan Castle (half an hour’s drive) or head up to the western side of the Bannau Brycheiniog/Brecon Beacons National Park to climb up to Carreg Cennen (45 minutes). The coast around here is spectacular too, with the seven-mile stretch of beach at Pembrey Country Park (15 minutes) a real highlight. The park also has a miniature train, a crazy golf course and a dry ski slope so there should be plenty to keep you all busy for a day there. Elsewhere nearby you may like to explore the shops and market in Carmarthen (20 minutes), wander around the exhibits at the National Botanic Garden of Wales (25 minutes) or look out for wildfowl at WWT Llanelli Wetland Centre (half an hour).
