  • Family-friendly site with easy access to Newgale Beach, Pembrokeshire
  • Haverfordwest 15 minutes’ drive; Tenby 50 minutes
  • On the Pembrokeshire Coast Path; bistro-bar on site
If you would like your Welsh holiday to be punctuated by spectacular sunsets over the sea, now might be the time to book a spot at Newgale Campsite. This family-run (and family-friendly) spot benefits from a privileged location on the western coast of Pembrokeshire. How do you fancy the idea of getting up in the morning, crossing the road, scrambling across a low bank of shingle and being faced by the spectacle of St Brides Bay? It shouldn’t take any more than… oh, about one minute on foot to reach Newgale Beach. The time you save by staying so close to the sea can be invested in your favourite water-based activities, whether wild swimming, surfing or canoeing. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path passes just by the site; follow it north to reach Porth Mynawyd (a one-hour walk), a remote tidal beach in a deep cove with shallow waters and rockpools, or south to Nolton Haven Beach (55 minutes’ walk). This is a popular spot for surfing, so you might want to drive instead and bring your board (it takes about 10 minutes by car). National Trust - Southwood Estate (five minutes’ drive) is a top place for spotting the local wildlife, from grazing ponies to nesting birds. The nearest pub is right on site: the bistro-bar, named The Landsker Line, dishes out local Pembrokeshire ales, soft drinks and coffee, as well as food like pasties, sausage rolls, loaded fries and ice cream. It's a splendid place to refuel and unwind, especially since it has sports TVs and live music from artists throughout the season. Amenities on site include a toilet/shower block with facilities for disabled guests, a launderette and a communal freezer. On weekends in June and the school summer holidays, a catering van serves woodfired pizzas. There are also several restaurants within a five-minute drive of the site, plus plenty more in Haverfordwest (15 minutes).

What customers say

Great spot right across from a cracker beach! Staff are tops. Facilities are neat and tidy, with a decent pub and pizza van. Some folks found it a bit busy and noted road noise, plus shower/pizza prices. Still, good vibes and close to the sea.

Unpowered grass site

Liked Proximity to the beach is unrivalled! Staff were so unbelievably kind and caring. Nothing was too much trouble. Visited in the summer holidays so pretty busy and slightly chaotic, kind of a pitch up where there’s a space vibe but nice family feel to it and clean facilities. Gorgeous walk you can do up the cliffs, 5.5 miles to town called Solva, can get bus straight back to campsite, highly recommend! Excellent value for money too, especially as a solo traveller.

Liked Very clean facilities. Lovely location. Good entertainment. Love being able to walk minutes to the beach front. A nicely priced weekend.

Disliked Very busy this weekend and so no markings for pitches made it a little more difficult to find a good spot for the 2 parties arriving.
Drinks very expensive in the bistro/bar

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi There,
Thanks for your review, we’re really pleased you enjoyed the clean facilities, the entertainment, and being so close to the beach.

It can be a bit busier during peak weekends, especially without marked pitches, but we do try to help guests arriving together find a suitable area. If you're booking as a group in future, just pop a note in the comments when booking and we can rope off a space in advance.

Prices at The Landsker are in line with other local venues, but we appreciate the feedback. Thanks again!

Thanks and all the best,
Charlotte, Team Newgale

Disliked The pizza, it wasn't cooked long enough. Cheese just about melted

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi There ,
Thanks so much for your feedback. We’re really glad you enjoyed the location and facilities. Just to let you know, the pizza van is an independent business, so cooking times and quality are managed by them directly. We’ll pass your comments along so they can take it on board.

Thanks again, and we hope to welcome you back soon.

Unpowered grass site

Liked On site staff were very good, shown to pitch, and given all on-site info, toilets spotless throughout, if you are going during the school holidays you may experience a wait for the showers, but this is to be expected! The beach is literally across the road and we had awesome surf! Our Grandchildren were safe throughout, the roads are clearly marked, yet there was plenty of room for them (age 4&5)
Epic on site pizza van, the little pub, the Landsker Mine is a pure Gem, excellent variety of food and beer, if you don’t make a table, take your own chair and enjoy the live music from the pebbles 🙌

Local attractions

The smallest city in the UK, St Davids (15 minutes’ drive) has a cathedral that holds a shrine to St David, which was an important pilgrimage site in the Middle Ages. Just across the River Alun are the imposing ruins of Llys yr Esgob, Tyddewi / St Davids Bishop’s Palace. Roller coasters, water rides and family attractions await at Oakwood Theme Park (half an hour), which also has a soft-play area and indoor games. If the kids (or you…) are more into animals, book a relaxed trek at Pembrokeshire Llama Sanctuary (45 minutes). Do you like sunrises as much as sunsets? Then get up early and head to Tenby (50 minutes), which has two east-facing sandy beaches on Bae Caerfyrddin. From Tenby it’s also possible to catch a boat to Caldey Island, where you might buy chocolate or perfume made by the resident monks.
