  • Simple Pembrokeshire pop-up campsite five minutes’ drive from Tenby
  • Wales Coast Path five minutes’ walk; Penally beach 40 minutes' walk
  • Back-to-basics pitches; farm shop within five minutes’ walk
When it’s time for a back-to-basics, off-grid camping adventure in the spectacular Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, pack up the tent and all your gear and head for Giltar Grove Camping. Part of a farm with sea views, this family-friendly pop-up site is particularly handy for hikers ‘doing’ the Wales Coast Path, as it’s only five minutes’ walk away. Basic facilities available on site include a toilet of the portable variety, a hot shower, a wash basin and a drinking-water tap on the level camping field. Please note – electricity is not available. Bonuses, however, include easy access off the main road through a farm gate, and parking is allowed next to your tent on the grass pitches. If you’ve packed the barbecue and are keen to get down to some alfresco grilling, pick up provisions in Tenby supermarkets (five minutes’ drive). Alternatively, there’s a farm shop and café within five minutes’ walk, as well as a couple of pubs in Penally (a few minutes’ drive) for the days when you just don’t feel like cooking. Filming of the Doctor Who TV series took place in the adjacent field in early 2023.

What customers say

A simple, tidy, chill spot, loved for its top location near the Pembrokeshire Coast Path & Tenby. Spotless loos & warm showers get a nod. The legend owner's super helpful. Basic but good value, with a handy farm shop nearby. A bit of road noise & wish for a direct coast path are minor points.

Cassandra J.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Campsite was basic but toilet, shower and camping area in general was very clean. Location was ideal if you like walking but no footpaths on the main road to the coastal path so not ideal for young children if your on foot but this is not a reflection of the campsite itself. Once on the coastal path walks were beautiful with some stunning views. Nice Little pub about 10 mins down the road, lovely farm shop 2 mins away. All in all was an enjoyable stay.

Yes I would recommend this site.

Local attractions

Several beaches are within walking distance of the campsite, including the dune-backed, crescent-shaped Penally beach (40 minutes’ walk or a five-minute drive), or you can turn west along the Wales Coast Path (five minutes' walk) to the sand-and-shingle cove at Lydstep Haven (15 minutes). From there, just carry on walking; after 40 minutes, Skrinkle Haven beach, encircled by steep cliffs, will hove into view. Turn east for views over to the Cistercian monastery on Caldey Island as you stroll, and you can be in the historic walled town of Tenby in about an hour. There are three sandy beaches on which to plonk yourselves down, as well as a fishing harbour and medieval castle to nose around, and colourful waterfront cottages to admire. If the kids are demanding a treat, you may like to let them be animal keepers for the day at Manor Wildlife Park (five minutes' drive). Younger offspring can run amok on the dinosaur trail at Dinosaur Park (10 minutes) or whizz around the go-kart track and wear themselves out zorbing on the pool. There’s more family fun to be had on the fairground rides at Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (15 minutes), where there are also big cats in spacious enclosures, penguins frolicking in their pool and cuddly ponies at the petting farm.
