  • Family-friendly rural hideaway on a farm site with sea views
  • A 30-minute drive from Tenby and 20 minutes from Laugharne
  • Food shop and dog park; barbecues and campfires; coastal paths nearby
Grab your best beach gear and strap on your sturdiest shoes… when staying at Thorning Farm Glamping and Camping, the Camarthenshire coast is yours to uncover. Within 30 minutes’ drive of Tenby’s sandy beaches and 20 minutes from a mecca of Welsh poetry in the town of Laugharne, this Pendine site is well-versed in the art of coastal living, with sea views from the site and two coastal paths spinning out to local sandy beaches. Simply pick your plot among these hideaway pitches, settle down with your family, dogs or partner (whichever you please)… and hike, mountain bike or kayak your way around the coves and clifftops. As the day comes to a close, head back to site to warm the evening with a barbecue or campfire, storing any bits for the grill in the communal fridge. If you’re missing your favourite condiment, there’s a food shop on site or more shops within a 10-minute drive. Everyone is made to feel welcome here, even those of the canine kind, as there’s a dog park for them to stretch their legs. And for when you fancy a meal out, the small strip in Pendine, 10 minutes’ drive, has a nice selection of restaurants and bars where you can dig into a meal… with a side dish of sea views, too.

What customers say

Grand spot with lovely views. Pitches are big, private, and kitted out, with plenty liking the compost loos. Owners are sound and helpful. Peaceful and close to coast paths/beaches. Access track a bit rough, showers could be more consistent. Great for nature lovers.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Great private pitches, each with it's own toilet cubicle! Really friendly and helpful owners. Great view (when we could see it - we visited on a very wet and misty weekend!)

Disliked Quite a bumpy, stony track to get to the campsite, but this was a minor annoyance, and definitely wouldn't stop us from coming back again.

The shower could have done with a shelf and/or hook to keep belongings on whilst showering.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked We loved this place the scenery and the owners.
Lovely walk to the beach.
The site was very nice and most of all the owners are great.
We did come home early due to severe weather but we were very reluctant to leave.
This place is just going to get better and better.
We will definitely be back in the summer term.
Thank you for the lovely ice creams they were delicious.

Disliked Nothing at all.

Local attractions

Take a turn on all manner of rides in one of several theme parks in the area, from the big coasters of Oakwood Theme Park (half an hour’s drive) to the smaller chugging trains and swings of Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (20 minutes) or the assorted antics at Heatherton World of Activities (half an hour). A pre-historic twist on amusement, Dinosaur Park (half an hour) has plenty more roaring rides; afterwards, cool off on the slides at Blue Lagoon Water Park (half an hour). For something less adrenaline-fuelled, stroll through the valley of Colby Woodland Garden (15 minutes), perhaps stopping at the tea room for a cuppa. There are hundreds more plant species under the glass dome in the Botanic Garden of Wales (40 minutes), and once you’re done with the plants, you can visit the animal world on a walking safari through Manor Wildlife Park (25 minutes). Over in Laugharne (20 minutes), you can visit the grave of one of Wales’ most adored poets and walk through his old stomping grounds in the Dylan Thomas Boathouse. Further into the village, it's easy to see why the ruins of Laugharne Castle (20 minutes) inspired his verses.
