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.

Powered cement/asphalt campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Lovely sized pitch which was perfectly level. Clean toilet block and washing up area and loved the mixed changing so we could shower the children together. Showers were lovely and hot. The site felt really safe with the main gates closed over night (access via code). I felt happy letting the children (5&8) have a little independence. Perfect for adventurous little ones, we are regular visitors to Llys-Y-Fran but this was our first time camping and it was excellent having access to the pump track and park “out of hours” when it was much quieter. The kids loved the pancakes in the cafe and the staff are so lovely and friendly. Plenty of mobile service so can’t comment on WiFi (hence half stars)

Disliked: No camp fires allowed but we understand and respect the prohibition.

Powered cement/asphalt campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The small campsite is in a very picturesque location close to the lake with a selection of pitch types. Showers/toilets were situated in the Activity Centre close by and were clean and accesible day and night. Plenty of walking and activities on and around the lake, plus lovely cafe and shop, all managed by very helpful and friendly staff. We booked Self Launch with our paddleboards and had a fabulous paddle around the beautiful lake, discreetly supervised by the safety boat. Would also highly recommend the walks around the lake.

From the manager: Lovely Review , thank you so much. We are glad your enjoyed the paddleboarding and hope to see you again in the future

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: I had an electric pitch which was flat and level and an easy walk to the showers, which were the best showers I’ve been to in a campsite!

The views were amazing and there was so much to do and explore!

Disliked: The toilets were clean and tidy, there just needed to be more of them - especially on a busy weekend

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.
