Picked Pembrokeshire as your destination because of the scenery? You’ll be able to soak it up at all hours when staying at Llys-y-frân Lakeview Campsite – this family-friendly site is on the banks of Llys-y-frân Reservoir, with fabulous watery views (at their best at sunset, thanks to the site’s west-facing location). You may well want to spend a fair amount of time simply looking out over the lake while you’re here – perhaps from a table at the Lakeside Café, which serves up hot drinks and sweet treats as well as a lunchtime menu of hot food showcasing top-notch local produce. Alternatively, bring your fishing kit and settle in for a relaxed day trying to catch trout from the lakeshore or one of the electric boats. Got something more energetic in mind? You’ll be sorted too, as the terraced site slopes down to an activity centre where you can book kayaking, canoeing and paddleboarding sessions or hire bikes to hit the lakeside path or mountain bike trails. For other land-based activities, have a go at archery or channel your inner Celt with some axe throwing. For the younger adventurers, there are off-road six-wheeler ‘Crazi Bugz’ vehicles to drive, a climbing wall and an adventure playground. For something slower-paced, try woodland walks from the site, or set out a feast at one of the picnic spots. Dogs are also catered for with an agility playground. Practical facilities include hot showers, toilets in the activity centre, chemical disposal point, a washing-up area, a gift shop and wifi in the visitor centre. The village of Rosebush (10 minutes’ drive) is home to a characterful pub offering a traditional Welsh experience.

Disliked: Nothing!

Carys E. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass tent site

Liked: Wonderful setting, pitches impeccably clean, showers and all facilities were excellent. Diane was very welcoming and we were grateful to her for making sure people kept to the quiet time from 9.30 onwards.
Our children loved the pump track and park and we had a nice walk around the lake. Nice pancakes in the cafe on our last morning.

Disliked: Pitches weren't very big and they were quite close together. This wasn't a problem for us but might be for others. We personally missed having green space around the tent for the children to play. The park was great but you couldn't let children go over there on their own as it's out of sight of the campsite.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked: Superb site. Generous pitches and excellent facilities.

Own EHU and water on each pitch. Very clean and tidy toilets and showers.

Perfect place to relax for a few days.

Disliked: No facility for grey waste other than to empty it by a bucket into the Elsan point. I believe this is something that they are looking to address though.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely comments. We will be addressing the grey waste (drive over) for next season.

Excellent site, spotlessly clean and warm indoors, staff were lovely

Local attractions

There’s a lot to do on site, for sure – but there’s also plenty to keep you busy when venturing out into your surroundings. The Pembrokeshire coast, for example, is less than half an hour’s drive away, for beach days in the likes of Broad Haven (half an hour’s drive), the ever-popular Tenby or its neighbour Saundersfoot (both 40 minutes). Pembrokeshire’s packed with historic places to visit too, including the lovely little city of St Davids (40 minutes), with its ancient cathedral and Bishops’ Palace. Carew Castle & Tidal Mill (35 minutes) is also worth a visit, to hear the tale of the castle’s 2000-year history and see the only restored tidal mill in Wales. If that’s not the kind of thing your kids are keen on, perhaps instead plan trips to the Pembrokeshire Llama Sanctuary (15 minutes), Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (half an hour) or the action-packed Heatherton World of Activities (35 minutes) for things like paintballing, ziplines and crazy golf.
