  • Small, quiet site with sea views; two miles from the coast at Llanelli
  • Within half an hour's drive of the Gower Peninsula and Brecon Beacons
  • Great cycling access to Swiss Valley Trail and Millennium Coastal Path
A well-placed Carmarthenshire site with stunning sea views, Caemawr Camping and Caravan Site is a small, quiet spot close to Llanelli. There's plenty to do around and about – coastal strolls along the Millennium Coastal Path, taking in the Swiss Valley Trail's green vistas by bike or driving out to the Gower Peninsula and Brecon Beacons are all options on the table. You can expect flat and level grounds for pitching up on, as well as a modern shower and toilet block. Other than that, you'll be left to your own devices – it's up to you whether you opt to set up a barbecue, kindle a campfire, cycle five minutes down the road for dinner at the nearest pub or take the dog (if you've brought one) out for walks on the beach. Speaking of the sea, Caemawr Camping and Caravan Site is roughly two miles from the nearest stretch of coast, where local highlights include Llanelli beach, the Machynys Peninsula Golf and Country Club and Sandy Water Park, a peaceful nature watching spot brimming with birdlife.

What customers say

Top spot! Peaceful with killer estuary/Gower views. Spotless loos, comfy pitches. Friendly owners, great for exploring beaches & cycling. A few queues at peak times but most love it and are keen to come back.

Wonderful view.

Disliked Could need extra toilet facilities if busy.

Kate S.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Facilities were modern and kept immaculate.
I like my showers almost scolding and the showers here didn’t disappoint.
Great location, close enough to Gower for it not to be a trek but far enough out to be away from the hustle and bustle.
Lovely and quiet campsite with great views out to the bay.
My battery on my car went flat and the owner of the campsite came and saved my bacon by jump starting my car for me. Honestly couldn’t have been more thankful!

Disliked Not necessarily a dislike but the fact you weren’t given a designated space. For those in a tent I suppose there’s no issue but I had a roof tent and hence had to take everything with me when I left. But when I returned the spot I’d been in had been taken by someone else.

Liked Nice site. Large pitches. Quiet. Dog friendly. Showers/toilets clean and tidy. Views very nice.

Disliked Nothing i disliked, just a few observations.....a mirror in either the toilet or shower rooms would be nice. And maybe a notice board with a few walks from the site.

Local attractions

Exploring the Llanelli area is perhaps best done by bike – you can pedal up to the peaceful Lliedi Reservoirs (15 minutes' cycle) for a picnic before heading back to base, or make a day of it and continue on to the National Botanic Garden of Wales (an hour and 30 minutes by bike or half an hour by car), where those arriving on two wheels get a discount on the price of entry. Next, you might like to stretch your legs by heading to the Brecon Beacons (from 30 minutes' drive) – make sure to pack sensibly sturdy footwear if your plans involve top treks like the Ystradfellte Four Waterfalls Walk (an hour) or hikes around Carreg Cennen Castle (45 minutes). The national park is also home to less energetic attractions like the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (50 minutes) and the Brecon Mountain Railway (an hour). Yet another option would be to take a driving tour of the gorgeous Gower Peninsula (from 30 minutes) to soak up some of South Wales' best seascapes. The sweeping sands of Rhossili Bay (50 minutes) will probably be part of most itineraries, but for something a little different you could also head to the Swansea side of the peninsula for jetski safaris around Oxwich Bay (40 minutes).
