  • 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 peaceful, basic campsite with a great location near beaches & coastal path, a short trip to Tenby. Praised for clean facilities, attentive owner, and nice views. Road noise & busy single washrooms noted at peak times, though improvements are underway.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Pretty good I quite liked it. One toilet and shower so might have to que for 5mins in the morning but of a decent standard. Also had bins and a washing up sink which made it GVM as it's quite a pricey area. Nice coastal walk to Tenby took me about 1hr (it's 3 mile) although there is public transport options a short distance away.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Site is very simple and flat - perfect for a campervan and tent - I noticed the access was very tight onto a fast road, so this might not be a suitable option for large motorhomes/campervans.

Cleanliness is on point and the site owner comes out within a few minutes of being notified of any issues.

Disliked Could do with an additional toilet or shower during busier periods.

Recommend to friends Visit again

A great back to basic site. Clean and well kept.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked General location is good, back to basics site with shower, tap and toilet. The owners are really pleasant people.

Disliked Next to road, possibly could use an extra WC and shower whilst busy. That said all manageable with a little timing. The pitches are slightly tight together, you can just about manage the required separation as long as you pitch lengthways from the perimeter. Some larger tents would struggle with the pitch sizes.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Great simple short stay with good access local sites.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Pleasantly surprised. Will definitely book again. Perfect location. Small, quiet spot, basic but has everything you need. Family of 5 had a great weekend. Bring some games for kids and their happy.

Disliked Completely out of the owners control. Although it states you can't arrive after 8.30 lots of people do, especially ones who hadn't booked so first night there where cars turning up fairly late. But wouldn't stop us booking again.

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.
