  • Off-grid site with spectacular coastal Carmarthenshire views
  • Access to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path; Pendine beach 20 minutes
  • Adults-only location with a communal firepit; on a 37-acre farm
Wide skies, ocean on the horizon, skylarks singing, the sound of waves and salty sea air… If any of the above perks your interest, make your way to Bryn a Môr, set on a 37-acre farm on the edge of the south Camarthenshire coast. This green place has spectacular views of Carmarthen and Saundersfoot bays – you can see the Devon coastline on clear days – and is an adults-only spot. The site is 10 minutes’ drive away from Pendine (where you can pick up grocery basics) and has three beaches within 40 minutes’ walk. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path is directly on the boundary of the property, backed by craggy cliffs which are popular with climbers. Within around 30 minutes, it's also possible to walk to ancient burial cairns and hilltop forts. In line with the site’s eco aims, it’s off-grid (although charging facilities are available), so it cannot cope with any high-energy appliances, and there is a strict recycling policy, with bins provided. If you’re keen to leave the car at home, the site owners can pick you up from Pendine when notified in advance. The site is accessed via a long track skirting a wooded valley, a little walk from the car park; guests are offered wheelbarrows to transport their belongings. After a day of beachcombing or hiking, cosy up around the communal firepit and keep warm while stargazing on clear nights. A campfire cooking set can be hired from the site.

Liked We loved the peaceful vibes and being surrounded by nature. You can see the sea from the site and easily walk to a couple of nearby beaches. We really enjoyed learning a little more about the plants and animals around the site, and it was particularly nice purchasing some of the eggs and veg!

Coed Bach non-electric forest floor tent pitch

Liked Bryn a Môr was such a great find! We always look for sites that feel like a nice hybrid between wild camping and having facilties like a toilet and shower nearby, and this delivered perfectly. The site is really close to a number of secluded beaches and some lovely walks. The facilties - compost toilet, hot shower, outdoor sink and indoor stove, recycling- were amazing, super clean and it was basically just us using them. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, and the resident dog was a particular highlight.

From the manager: It was so lovely to meet you both, and I was very pleased to teach you some willow weaving too! Hoping to see you again next year :-)

A friendly campsite, close to the sea.

Coed Bach non-electric forest floor tent pitch

Liked The hosts are really welcoming and give you a tour of the site to make sure you know where everything is. The camp site has a really nice tranquil feel to it, and each pitch is spread out, so you have a quiet space to yourself. Camping under the tree was a nice way to get some extra cover and made me feel extra close to nature in my tent.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review and glad you loved the pitch under the chestnut tree! It's our favorite too :-)

Lovely peaceful site, great views, good facilities and friendly hosts.…

Liked Everything ... The hosts have been incredible—very supportive and helpful. The landscape is enchanting, and the beach is just a short distance from the location. There is not internet and it is adult only.

Liked Beautiful location, close access to beach

Disliked Strict pack up time for no real reason. Unfriendly owner. Camped with friends and had a lovely stay until the owner got shirty on the last day over being 15mins over the check out time. Check out time had not been stated on any information we had been given and check in time is after 3pm for a tent site…no cleaning required. Also additional charges for dogs for no real reason as no additional cleaning required for a tent site…potential to be a beautiful site without the human factor.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: This guest says there was no stated leaving time - it is clearly stated on pitch up as 11am.
This guest repeatedly let their dog off a lead - despite it being clearly stated this wasn't allowed. We have now decided not to accept dogs because of this guest's behaviour. So other guests with dogs now can't enjoy our beautiful place.
This guest is why we charged for dogs, as they can be a nuisance to other guests and to the host.
This guest was given free firewood and loaned extra matresses for their comfort. We received no thanks at all. Their review is both factually untrue as well as being personally insulting.
This review does not reflect the high standards of our facilities, nor does it reflect the high standard of our other reviews.

Fantastic semi wild camping gem with everything!

Local attractions

Close to Bryn a Môr, there’s a beach to suit every mood. The busy sands at Pendine (20 minutes’ walk) are a hub for watersports, with a hire shop and instruction available. Near-deserted Morfa Bychan (10 minutes) is backed by dunes, while wild Marros Sands (30 minutes along the coast path) has walks to a petrified forest. You can also head to Saundersfoot (half an hour’s drive) or Amroth (15 minutes). To mash up your outdoor adventures with a spot of culture-vulturing, visit the former waterside home of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas at Laugharne (20 minutes), stopping by Laugharne Castle to see the Norman towers and tour the knot garden. Medieval Carew Castle (half an hour) should also be on your to-do list for the looped walk around its ruins to the 18th-century mill. Animal antics more your style? Spot tigers and rhinos on a walking safari at Manor Wildlife Park (half an hour), or watch raptor flying displays at the National Botanic Garden of Wales (40 minutes).
