  • Dog-friendly rural site on a working north Pembrokeshire farm
  • A 15-minute drive from Newport; lots of local walks to choose from
  • Five minutes' drive from a popular local pub; 20 mins to Fishguard
Making your way to Pembrokeshire for walks, beaches, cliffs and countryside galore? Look to Gwaun Valley Camping, part of a working north Pembrokeshire farm in a scenic valley with native pasture land where guests can experience hands-on holidays. Enjoy a picnic by your pitch and stroll off onto footpaths and bridleways as you please. Farm life carries on as usual around you and you’re in the front-row seat. Here, you might want to track down local woodland and mountain walks. There are streams and waterfalls nearby, as well as a pub 45 minutes’ walk away (or a five-minute drive if you’d rather give your feet a rest). There are also plenty of places to taste the local fodder in the local towns and villages. If you’re particularly keen to sample the local alcoholic brews, there are two microbreweries a short drive away too. Handily, the coast isn’t far off. Fishguard, known for its seafood cuisine and fort, is 20 minutes’ drive away and there are coastal hikes and beaches within 20 minutes’ drive of the site. As this is a dog-friendly site, your canine can join you on your adventures – whatever they might be.

Local attractions

If you’re not one to shy away from the bigger hikes, Dinas Mountain (15 minutes' drive) is one gorgeous setting. Keep your eyes peeled for wild ponies, red kites and buzzards as you climb. Just as active days can be had on the coast with less hiking involved. Perhaps coasteering along to the stunning Blue Lagoon (40 minutes)? Kayaking along the coast by Fishguard (20 minutes), followed by some local seafood or crab sandwiches? Fishing or beach paddling in Cardigan (25 minutes)? Historical sites are in good supply too, with the neolithic tomb at the Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber (15 minutes) and the Iron Age roundhouses at Castell Henllys Iron Age Village (15 minutes). If you’re after a ride – of one kind or the other – head for the rollercoasters at the Oakwood Theme Park (40 minutes) or Llys-y-fran Reservoir (half an hour), where visitors can captain a watersports vessel of their choosing.

What customers say

This tranquil, roomy campsite offers a simple getaway in lovely countryside. Guests loved the stunning location with forest walks, lots of space, and great value. Modern washrooms were a hit, though one guest found a bathroom wasn't spotless. Hosts were consistently praised as amazing, friendly, and helpful. Some spots got waterlogged.

Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely, quiet campsite set on a large field. We had a great family holiday. Loads of space for our T5 campervan and tent. Plenty of room to play games. The campsite is set amongst wooded hills. Beautiful woodland and hill walks straight from the campsite. Great for our two dogs to relax and play, well away from the busy streets and noise in Newport. Friendly and helpful hosts. Clean facilities. Excellent value for money.
