  • Peaceful woodland pitches on a 300-acre Pembrokeshire farm
  • A 10-minute drive from Oakwood theme park; 25 mins from Barafundle Bay
  • Pitches with a firepit, picnic table and firewood provided
Peaceful Pembrokeshire nights interspersed with days packed full of beach trips, castles and family activities – that’s the plan for stays at Dragonfly Camping, 15 minutes’ drive away from both Kilgetty and Pembroke. A handy central location here puts guests within easy reach of several of south Wales’s finest beaches (including well-known stunner Barafundle Bay 25 minutes' drive away), and lots of excellent days out at the likes of Oakwood (10 minutes' drive) and Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (15 minutes). Days in are an option too, as the site has a ping pong table kept under cover in the communal area. The team here like to call their site ‘wild camping with perks’, as each pitch also has its own little clearing in the woods with a firepit, picnic table and shelter. A pile of firewood (sustainably sourced from the farm) is thrown in with your booking. At the centre of the site is the communal area (100 metres max from any pitch), home to an off-grid wash house (with hot showers) and a canvas-covered building with a washing-up area and a shared chest freezer where you're welcome to freeze your own ice packs. There is no daily delivery of ice packs to keep cool boxes cool.. Solar panels provide the power here so there’s no wifi or electric hook-ups but the communal area has a couple of USB charging points to keep phones topped up.

What customers say

Private pitches in peaceful woods, much loved for seclusion & size. Rustic, clean loos & showers (some miss privacy). Handy covered picnic tables & fire pits with wood. Great value, beautiful spot, very peaceful. Mostly great, but a few hot water hiccups. Most want to come back!

Julie D.

Non-electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (XXL)

Liked This was my 3rd stay on this lovely small site .
The pitches are very private which I love and a fire pit and covered bench are included.
This is the prefect site for a quiet low key and peaceful time . A stones throw from Cresswell quay and a 5 minute drive from Carew castle

Non-electric grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch (large)

Liked Lovely quiet location spacious and private pitch clean facilities having your own shelter and picnic table means less stuff to cart along in the car ! Well located for all local attractions and beaches. No electric no problem as we are equipped to be off grid but …..

Disliked I had no phone signal and with no WiFi either that was a bit too disconnected for me ! Unable to research where to go or contact family back home …

Heather P.

Non-electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (small)

Liked Covered picnic table- made the periodically wet stay very happy!
Very secluded pitches.
Fantastic workmanship with in-house made shower block (lots of hot water) and vvwry adequate communal area for washing up and phone charging. Very unique well kitted out campsite with lovely neighbours- great minds think alike!

Disliked Hot water was very noisy to run so felt guilty having late night showers. Pitched are 9 years old so the bark around/ under the picnic table area isn’t fresh, still completely serviceable!

Non-electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (small)

Liked Totally quiet (except for some primal drumming experience off-site). I loved that each pitch is private. The showers were amazing given that it was off-grid. Will definitely return

Teresa M.

Non-electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (XXL)

Liked Amazing space we had .. private ..well thought out -and such cheap prices too - where we stayed was amazing - a great private space in woodland - we had the dormouse area .. with a private fire pit- bundle of wood provided ..picnic table area under cover .. toilets/showers nearby and all for £20 .. amazing !!! it’s opened my eyes up to many new adventures - as a city girl used to hotels .. this trip we took and where we picked to stay impressed me so much .. I will most definetly be using this site again .. so much beauty - countryside -woodland etc Iv been missing out on !! A very happy guest .. 😊

Disliked Nothing .. it was a last minute on the day decision to find somewhere whilst we were in wales to stay and it was so easy to book - even for that same night .. which Is what we needed .. a lot of places wanted me to have booked the day before .but when it’s a last minute decision .. this made it so easy - booked and was in the fab woodland space we’d booked within the hour ..

Local attractions

First port of call for all should be Cresswell Quay, 10 minutes' walk away – home to the local pub and a great place for watching boats bob about or launching your own kayaks. Carry on the coastal vibe by planning trips to some of Pembrokeshire’s spectacular beaches: the traditional resort of Tenby (20 minutes’ drive), famed Barafundle Bay (25 minutes) and Freshwater West (half an hour), home to surf waves and a cracking mobile café, are some of the top picks. If Pembrokeshire’s beaches are famed, then so (quite rightly) are its castles. Lovely lakeside Carew Castle is the closest at just over five minutes’ drive, and it’s also worth taking a look at those in Pembroke (15 minutes) and Manorbier (20 minutes). Should the kids be demanding a bit more adventure in their lives, shuttle them off for days out at Oakwood theme park or the waterpark at Bluestone Resort (both 10 minutes’ drive), or to Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo and Heatherton World of Activities (both 15 minutes’ drive).
