  • Family-friendly site with easy access to Newgale Beach, Pembrokeshire
  • Haverfordwest 15 minutes’ drive; Tenby 50 minutes
  • On the Pembrokeshire Coast Path; bistro-bar on site
If you would like your Welsh holiday to be punctuated by spectacular sunsets over the sea, now might be the time to book a spot at Newgale Campsite. This family-run (and family-friendly) spot benefits from a privileged location on the western coast of Pembrokeshire. How do you fancy the idea of getting up in the morning, crossing the road, scrambling across a low bank of shingle and being faced by the spectacle of St Brides Bay? It shouldn’t take any more than… oh, about one minute on foot to reach Newgale Beach. The time you save by staying so close to the sea can be invested in your favourite water-based activities, whether wild swimming, surfing or canoeing. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path passes just by the site; follow it north to reach Porth Mynawyd (a one-hour walk), a remote tidal beach in a deep cove with shallow waters and rockpools, or south to Nolton Haven Beach (55 minutes’ walk). This is a popular spot for surfing, so you might want to drive instead and bring your board (it takes about 10 minutes by car). National Trust - Southwood Estate (five minutes’ drive) is a top place for spotting the local wildlife, from grazing ponies to nesting birds. The nearest pub is right on site: the bistro-bar, named The Landsker Line, dishes out local Pembrokeshire ales, soft drinks and coffee, as well as food like pasties, sausage rolls, loaded fries and ice cream. It's a splendid place to refuel and unwind, especially since it has sports TVs and live music from artists throughout the season. Amenities on site include a toilet/shower block with facilities for disabled guests, a launderette and a communal freezer. On weekends in June and the school summer holidays, a catering van serves woodfired pizzas. There are also several restaurants within a five-minute drive of the site, plus plenty more in Haverfordwest (15 minutes).

What customers say

Great spot across from a beautiful beach! Staff are super friendly and helpful. Facilities are clean and well-kept, with a pizza van and pub on site. Some found it a bit busy with occasional road noise and pricey showers/pizza, but overall it's a well-loved spot for its vibe and seaside access.

Liked Everything, from polite, helpful staff, clean facilities, accessible location with amazing sea view ( literally the most beautiful & clean beach was across the road), 'Sunset pizza', - wood fire delicious pizza freshly made to order on site, to an amazing live music band! Could not ask for more.

Disliked A bit crowded. Showers a bit feeble.

From the manager: HI Harriet,

Many thanks for the excellent review!

We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to seeing you next time.

With reference to your note about the showers, we currently have a planning application in for a new facilities building which will include more showers plus other great facilities such as a reception and shop.
A small charge is made for showers to avoid long queues. If the showers are free of charge, many campers will stay under the water flow for long periods of time regardless of other campers who may be waiting patiently outside the door.


All the best,

The team @ Newgale Campsite

Liked Everything. No complaints from us about anything. As your poster says, if we had a complaint we would have spoken to you. Not written it in a review a week later 😉

Disliked Personally too far away from the shower block but that’s camping and this is not a complaint 😁

Charlie F.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Location on the beach was amazing but also that it was surrounded by countryside. The onsite pizza van and pub we also fab.

Disliked Showers that took coins! Have never had to pay for a shower in many many years of camping in Wales, England, Scotland and Europe. And it only took coins. This really needed to change. I scraped together one pound 20p for my two daughters and I yo have a shower.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Charlie,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the location and the food options during your stay. With the showers, we use a coin/token system as this helps to avoid long queues and ensures there is plenty of hot water available for everyone. For those who don’t carry coins, tokens can be purchased at reception using card, so there’s always an easy option. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and hope to welcome you again.
All the best,
Charlotte, Team Newgale

Local attractions

The smallest city in the UK, St Davids (15 minutes’ drive) has a cathedral that holds a shrine to St David, which was an important pilgrimage site in the Middle Ages. Just across the River Alun are the imposing ruins of Llys yr Esgob, Tyddewi / St Davids Bishop’s Palace. Roller coasters, water rides and family attractions await at Oakwood Theme Park (half an hour), which also has a soft-play area and indoor games. If the kids (or you…) are more into animals, book a relaxed trek at Pembrokeshire Llama Sanctuary (45 minutes). Do you like sunrises as much as sunsets? Then get up early and head to Tenby (50 minutes), which has two east-facing sandy beaches on Bae Caerfyrddin. From Tenby it’s also possible to catch a boat to Caldey Island, where you might buy chocolate or perfume made by the resident monks.
