  • Small, rural and no-smoking site a couple miles from the coast
  • Basic facilities; a five-minute drive to Llansteffan beach and castle
  • Bar on site with occasional live music/food nights on weekends
Walks in west Wales and pet-friendly stays in a peaceful country setting… what a lovely location is Laugharne View Caravan Site, a strict no-smoking site. Bringing a dog along or not, this park on a working smallholding has spectacular views over the Taf estuary and Caldey Island, so it’s a first-rate place for a break soaking up the Carmarthenshire scenery. With paths to ply all around, it’s also a splendid spot for walks that should appeal to those on four legs or two – it’s possible to potter over to Llansteffan, a couple of miles away, directly from the park for visits to a wide sandy beach (make sure to check for seasonal restrictions if you're taking a dog) as well as a castle that dates back to the 12th century. From there, you might choose to extend your walk on the coast path or settle on the beach to fish for flounders and bass. More interested in strolls that result in supper? A pub is within a five-minute walk, and the eateries of Carmarthen – the oldest town in Wales – are just over 20 minutes away by car. If you've got a bit more time in town, ride on the antique Gwili Steam Railway into the hinterlands of the country or stay in Carmarthen to browse the boutiques. If you’re firmly sticking to country pursuits, stay on site to peer at the chickens on the farm, take the dog for a run around the spacious grounds, or set up a camping chair and use the wifi to help build tomorrow’s itinerary. You might also like to pick up a couple of drinks from the site's Hayday bar to complete the picture… The basic amenities at Laugharne View Caravan Site include a toilet block and a basic shower block. Please note that there is a non-smoking (and no vaping in family areas) policy in place at this site and that some parts of the site are adults-only.

What customers say

Beautifully kept campground with stunning estuary views. Guests rave about the friendly owners, clean facilities, and roomy sites. The bar with live music is a hit. Despite minor waste disposal comments, most find it peaceful, well-equipped, with great nearby pubs/walks. Highly recommended for couples & families.

Liked The showers and toilets very clean. The pot washing area . Nice pub 5 minutes walk
Lovely little village 5 mi utes drive.the view is brilliant overseeing the estuary very peaceful.

Disliked Very quiet not ideal for families but couples wanting a quiet time doing very little . Nothing to dislike over the site at all

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review Jane. The main descriptors on our site from guests are 'peaceful' with 'spectacular scenery' so your experience of our site is 100% accurate and backs up the description on pitchup.

Facilities: I can see you marked us down for our facilities but apart from toilet/showers - we don't state we have anything on site but are very pleased you found them clean.

Value for money: You paid £20 per night. Pretty impressive for amazing views and peace and quiet with clean facilities.

Customer Service: For us to improve in this area, it would be useful give us an insight into your expectations.

Wifi: This is not a facility we state we have.

Child Friendliness: Extremely low mark considering you did not travel with children.

Non recommendation/Return: We concur that it would be difficult for you to return or to recommend your friends/family. As you would have been aware (prior to booking) and whilst onsite, we do operate a strict recycling policy which you could not be bothered to adhere to. You were blocked from rebooking shortly after you left due to the large black bag of general waste you left during your 2 night stay.

All the best in your future travels - hope you find a great family friendly site to suit your needs.

Liked The beautiful location.
The site is incredible my well cared for. The shower/toilet facilities are absolutely spotless.
Dogs are very welcome.
The local pub does brilliant food and the portions are somewhat HUGE!

Disliked The site is an advertised as having a bar on site, but this is only open at weekends. I may have missed that when booking so apologies if I did, but we had hoped to use this facility during the week.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the review - yes the bar is only open on weekends and was open on the night you arrived which was a Saturday - glad you had a nice week!

Lovely, quiet and relaxing.…

Route directions

As the site is in a rural area, the postcode covers a wide area. The site advises you not to solely use the postcode to find the site. They suggest arriving via the bus route (227 Carmarthen) through the village of Llansteffan and then follow signs for Llanybri. There is no need to access the site through any gated fields or dirt tracks. The entrance is clearly marked with a large sign. What3Words: rebounder.glass.wasps.

Local attractions

While Laugharne’s visible from the park, it’s a 25-minute drive away around the estuary to this pretty village famed for its castle and poet Dylan Thomas’ writing shed. For more of the area's history, National Trust attractions further away – like the Roman-era Dolaucothi Gold Mines (an hour’s drive) and the handsome house and park at Dinefwr (50 minutes) – should also feature on your to-do list. Also inland are many adventures, including the mountain biking trails of Brechfa Forest (55 minutes); swing back to the seaside and cycle more sedately along the Millennium Coastal Path if thrill-seeking on two wheels sounds a little bit too much for your tastes. Of course, you’re also never far from the coast in this part of Wales… Pembrey Country Park’s miles and miles of sandy beach are a 45-minute drive away, and the shorelines of the Gower Peninsula and Pembrokeshire are also less than an hour away.
