  • Simple pitches on a 29-acre family farm overlooking St Brides Bay
  • A 10-minute drive to Newgale beach; 25 minutes to St Davids
  • Walk to dog-friendly Druidston Haven beach in 15 minutes
Even in a region as blessed with fabulous views as Pembrokeshire, Shortlands Farm stands out – the Ledwith family’s 29-acre farm looks out over St Brides Bay, and camping guests have sea views from every pitch on site. This splendid spot is just a few minutes’ walk from Druidston Haven beach, one of the quieter parts of the Pembrokeshire coastline with sandy stretches, rockpools and soaring cliffs to take in (and it welcomes dogs all year round – good news if you've got a hound that needs a holiday). The Pembrokeshire Coast Path passes by too, so you can take a stroll to other places like Broad Haven and Little Haven for more beaches and some seafront places to eat. The pitches are generously spaced around the edge of the field, so you’ll have plenty of space to spread out and set up your barbecue or firepit for an evening grill while you watch the sunset over the sea. Dogs are welcome to join in the fun, as are families – there’s lots of space set aside for kids (and adults…) to play in the field. For practicalities like supermarket shopping you may like to head into Haverfordwest (10 minutes’ drive), or you could walk to the local farm shop at Nolton Cross for foodie supplies (15 minutes).

What customers say

Shortlands Farm gets a big tick for its huge, flat sites with killer sea views. Ablutions are always spotless and tidy. It's a ripper spot for beach strolls and hitting the sand. A few blokes mentioned it can get a bit breezy, the unisex loos aren't for everyone, and sometimes you have to wait for the shower. The track in can be a bit rough, and some sites are a fair hike to the facilities. Still, heaps of folks reckon they'll be back.

Liked Shortlands farm was honestly perfect! As a family traveling with a 4 year old and 19month old, we were nervous for how the stay would go, but the term was so peaceful and had lots of space for our kids to run and play in. Only a short 8 minute drive to broad haven beach with shops and restaurants too was perfect! Honestly cannot sing our praises enough at the experience we had here. We will be coming back!!

Disliked Nothing!

Powered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked Arrival was really easy, drive straight to your pitch and thats pretty much it.
We loved the view and the large pitch in the electric field was great.
The site is really well maintained and the facilities appear pretty new.
It's a fantastic spot to stay if you want to be close to the costal walk and little villages and towns along the route.
It's a great place for dogs.
The wind is constant, if you're in a roof tent try to request a pitch next to the tree line.

Will happily stay there again!

Liked Stayed here two years in a row. Good facilities and ideal location. Walked down to the beach this year was hard going coming back but nice little touch 15 minutes away from site.

Disliked If I had to put something the track in could do with a little TLC. The pot holes are a big presence

Local attractions

Pembrokeshire’s perhaps most well known for its stunning coastline (there’s a good reason why it’s home to the UK’s only national park dedicated entirely to coastal landscapes…) A good place for Shortlands Farm guests to start is Newgale beach (10 minutes’ drive) – it’s got great waves for surfers (plus kit hire and lessons) but it’s also a great place for a stroll or paddle. Stop by too at Broad Haven (10 minutes) and the pretty harbour at Solva (20 minutes) en route to St Davids (25 minutes). The UK’s smallest city has some lovely shops and cafés to visit between tours of the cathedral and Bishop’s Palace, and it’s also the launch point for boat trips to Ramsey Island to see sea birds and seals. If the kids need something different from scenery chasing, try Dr Beynon’s Bug Farm (25 minutes), thrill rides at Oakwood Theme Park (half an hour) or animal encounters at Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (35 minutes).
