General
- Peaceful, rural Pembrokeshire site with valley views near Carmarthen
- A half-hour drive to Oakwood Theme Park and Wild Lakes Wales
- Fishing the Taf river on site; five minutes’ drive to shops and dining
Sitting in 25 acres of West Wales countryside and with great views of the surrounding valley, The Marsh is well-placed for exploring the Pembrokeshire coastline around Carmarthen – with multiple kids’ attractions within half an hour’s drive, this is a top-notch spot for families with active kids – and their dogs are welcome too. It’s also a cracking choice for anglers, as they can practice casting for salmon, sea trout and bass amid a glorious backdrop of birdsong along the Taf river (extra cost).
If you’re looking for a relaxing day on site, have a potter along its nature trails or wander down to the Taf for a waterside stroll. To up the pace a bit, head to the seaside town of Tenby (half an hour’s drive) for splashing around in the sea and boat trips to Caldey Island, or go sailing and windsurfing in Saundersfoot (25 minutes).
Back on site, there’s a variety of grass pitches (some uneven and unmown) and simple facilities stretch to a washing-up area, a portaloo and ice-pack freezing to keep barbecue goodies fresh.
Pick up basics in the village of St Clears – where you can also down a caffeine fix – or do bigger shops in Laugharne (both five minutes), home to a ruined castle and displays in the Dylan Thomas Writing Shed. If you prefer, you could dodge the cooking completely and pick up fish and chips to eat back at camp or try a couple of Pembrokeshire brews in a local pub.

Local attractions
What a spot for family holidays. You can keep the kids going all day with animal encounters at Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (20 minutes’ drive), or challenge them to mini-golf games and paintball fights at Heatherton Leisure Park. With adrenaline-busting rollercoaster and thrill rides, Oakwood Theme Park (both half an hour) is another action-packed day trip for active families.
Rather be out in the water? There’s a wave pool and high-impact flume rides at Blue Lagoon Water Park (25 minutes), or you can book family wakeboarding lessons at Wild Lakes Wales. On sunny days, jump in the car and head for Saundersfoot (both half an hour) beaches for some downtime messing about in the waves.
To slow things down a bit, the National Botanic Garden of Wales (20 minutes) offers lots of strolls in peaceful landscapes and rare plants in a Norman Foster-designed glasshouse, or you can up the cultural element of your Wales break with a guided tour of majestic Pembroke Castle (35 minutes), perched on rocks above the sea.
