  • Dog-friendly West Wales site on a working dairy and sheep farm
  • A 20-minute drive from Oakwood and Folly Farm
  • Firepits allowed; food shop, café nearby
Wake up to views of the Preseli Hills before mapping out your way to castles, waterfalls and beaches… on the border between Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, Camping at Beca is in West Wales, half an hour’s drive from the Preseli Hills landscape and the seven-mile Golden Road footpath, where geologists believe the bluestones of Stonehenge came from. This dog-friendly rural retreat is part of a working dairy and sheep farm run by a Welsh-speaking family. Intriguingly, it’s named after the Rebecca Riots of 1839, which commemorates the history of how a local farmer and his crew destroyed the first tollgate at Efailwen. While you won’t be attempting such a feat, walking and cycling fans alike will have plenty of peaceful walks and the National Cycle Route 47 from Fishguard to Swansea to take on. This cycling route is only 10 minutes' drive away… and for those of you looking to trade in the wheels for buckets and spades, the nearest beach is in Amroth, 25 minutes’ drive away. When you’re ready to wind down after a day out, settle by one of the firepits on site. Perhaps you’ll want to bring snacks from the small food shop and petrol station 10 minutes’ walk away (handily, they sell essentials such as fresh bread and milk). There’s a café and fish and chip shop here too, when you need hot food in a hurry. Guests at Camping at Beca will have access to both toilets and showers during their stay.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Honestly we cannot fault our stay here, the hosts were very attentive to all their guests needs, very friendly and chatty, not just with the adults but the kids too. They go above and beyond to make sure your happy and comfortable. The animals were a lovely touch and they have no issue with people saying hello to them and giving them a pet, which the kids loved. There's a very unique and quirky bar that they created from a horse box with extremely reasonable prices, a good choice of beverages and snacks, including hot drinks. They have indoor and outdoor seating areas for all weathers, where they put out a TV to show the football for other campers during the game. They have toilets and showers available which were restocked and tidied daily for people's needs, I would say all are of a decent size and easily accessible. I honestly cannot fault a single thing, the views are incredible the space and the environment was welcoming and friendly and just beautiful, as well as peaceful. Not only would I strongly recommend this to other campers looking for somewhere to pitch up, we as a family will be returning because the place and the people running it all left quite an impression on all of us. The best moment for the kids, was when they got offered a ride on their quad bike (at an appropriate slow and steady speed, driven by the owner).....cannot praise them enough for their relaxed, clean and friendly environment.

Bell tent

Liked: What an amazing place to stay! Well equipped tent with own chairs, table and bbq, lovely little playground, bar and stunning views, topped with friendly owners. This place makes you forget to look at your phone, all you want to do is to sit back, relax and enjoy the views, or to go and feed the animals. Close to shops and some great places, with Folly Farm as best example. Loved our stay, and can't wait to be back many times. Definitely can recommend

Liked: Really lovely hosts. Stayed in a non electric pitch, plenty of space and got to choose our spot. Lovely warm log burning bar, cheap drinks and fantastic customer service. Travelling as a single parent was nice to have the good company at the bar In the evening.

Disliked: Nothing

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: A very beautiful and peaceful area. The tent looked like a fancy hotel room - beds very warm and comfortable, it was very cosy inside. We were travelling with our friends and five kids in total. There was a lovely playground that took all their attention while we could rest peacefully :) A toilet and a shower very exceptionally clean. We loved everything - I would definitely come back again. And many thanks to the host - she was very attentive!

Local attractions

You don’t need to be an adrenaline junkie to appreciate the rides at Oakwood Theme Park (20 minutes’ drive). They’re likely to raise your pulse a little, that's for sure, but those of you with kids who require rides that are a little more low-key might want to visit Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (25 minutes) too. That’s not the only way to pack some action into your stay, though, as the outdoors is just the place for delving into more activities. To start off slow, perhaps walks and wildlife spotting followed by a hot brew at the Welsh Wildlife Centre (half an hour)? Then, hiking, fishing or coasteering somewhere along the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park (30 minutes)? Or full-on watersports, such as canoeing on the Afon Teifi (30 minutes)? More on that outdoors you’ll have around you… waterfall hikes are the thing of Cenarth Falls (25 minutes), while Cardigan (25 minutes) is suited for dipping your toes into beach sports, crafts or shopping on the shore. For that look at the battles of times gone instead, the National Trust’s 13th-century Cilgerran Castle (20 minutes) is the place to do that.
