  • Small, peaceful site on a rural Pembrokeshire smallholding
  • Within a half-hour drive of beaches, Cardigan and Folly Farm
  • Barbecues and firepits welcome; pub 10 minutes' walk away
If you’re planning to explore as much of Pembrokeshire as you possibly can, you’ll be in prime position when you stay at Maengwyn Hir Campsite. This small site is part of a rural smallholding near the hamlet of Llanfyrnach, and that location places it pretty much right in the centre of the county. The setting itself is peaceful indeed, with lovely views of the Preseli Hills and plenty of space from which to take them in (including a picnic area by a pond). The rural location means lots of great walks nearby too – handily, many of the trails will take you past the local pub (10 minutes’ walk away) for a well-earned pint to reward your efforts. Although this is a quiet location, there’s plenty of action around if you want it. For starters, you’ll be able to check out great swathes of West Wales coastline, whether you head north (to Cardigan and Aberporth), west (to St Davids and Newgale) or south (to Tenby and Pendine). Family outings to places like Dyfed Shire Horse Farm, Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo and Heatherton World of Activities are within easy reach too, while scenery seekers can head to places like Cenarth Falls and Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber. Back on site, it’s a laidback setup that welcomes dogs, families, groups and allows campfires and barbecues. A chemical disposal point and toilet block are among the handy facilities provided.

What customers say

This peaceful rural campsite is praised for its exceptionally friendly and helpful owners, clean facilities, and well-maintained, level pitches. Guests particularly appreciate the communal static caravan, which provides a shower, kitchen, and lounge area. While remote, it's a great base for exploring Pembrokeshire, with local pubs nearby. Some noted the limited number of showers, but overall, visitors highly recommend it and plan to return.

Kelly A.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked Spacious pitch with well placed EHU. Clean, well stocked facilities. Great to have use of a static caravan to relax, listen to music, watch TV and cook/wash up. Loved the eclectic collection of 'antiques' in the shed. Good location to explore wider area.

Disliked Static caravan (shower/kitchen/chill out area) has a musty smell and some visible surface mould. Shower cubicle very small.
Some issues with water supply, but not the fault of the campsite (bottled water was provided during outage).

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked Great clean site, the owners were chatty and helpful making sure we were settled, giving advice about the local area.

The site had everything you needed, decent size pitches that supported my 7mx5m tent and was easy to get to. It's a peaceful and quiet space with loads of room to run out your kids and dog.

If you are happy to drive this is the place for you. But if you wanted somewhere where you could walk and have some beers you will struggle, as the road is not great to walk and the nearest pub is not close.

Local attractions

It’s a bit of a mixed bag around Maengwyn Hir, so there should be something for everyone – a 20-minute drive will give you choices including Dyfed Shire Horse Farm, Pembrokeshire Llamas or Cenarth Falls, while in Cardigan (25 minutes' drive) you can choose from boat trips to spot dolphins and seals, a market building full of local producers and Cardigan Castle for a hit of history. For some animal action, Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (half an hour) has zoo talks and animal feeding, plus some fun rides to try out. You might also make your way to Manor Wildlife Park (40 minutes) for more exotic beasts. If you're after something a bit more hands-on, Heatherton World of Activities (40 minutes) has crazy golf, archery, karting, paintballing and treetop trails. Make your way to the coast for seaside sessions at Pendine Sands beach (half an hour) for a splendid seven miles of beach. Or head to Tenby beach (40 minutes) and take a boat ride out to Caldey Island to see the seals while you're there.
