Typical electric pitch

  • Clifftop site a three-minute walk to the pub and 10 mins to the beach
  • 10 minutes’ drive to Tenby for its castle, harbour and boat trips
  • 10 minutes from Heatherton and 30 from Oakwood
Penally Court Farm… a clifftop cracker. Sandy beaches, castles, coastal walks with spectacular views, colourful harbour towns – Pembrokeshire needs little introduction. But this little bit of it, in Penally just above Tenby, deserves more than simply introducing: ideally via fanfares, fireworks, a parade… But none of the above is needed on this peaceful family-run site. In lush green fields on the cliffs overlooking Tenby, it concentrates on simple, well-maintained facilities that don’t get in between you and the surrounds. You can park up where you stay, cook up alfresco feasts on barbecues, or take a three-minute stroll to a pub with grub in Penally. The village also has a shop for stocking up on basics; bigger stores and supermarkets are under 10 minutes' drive away in Tenby. Not that you’d only visit Tenby for baby wipes and beef burgers – it’s a handsome harbour town with pastel-hued houses, a castle, a fort (on an island) and lots of spots for eats and treats. And a cluster of beaches. The 20-minute walk into town is a terrific way to introduce yourselves to the area, or you could just run into the sea (five minutes’ walk from the site).

What customers say

Great spot, close to beach & Tenby. Staff are lovely. Facilities clean but a bit dated. Pitches can be sloped, and some noise from the road. Still a top base for exploring, and people would come back.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Location is beautiful 😍 fantastic views up onto the coastal path which is just over the road
Tenby only 30mins walk on track next to train track and more on coastal walk then drop down onto beach and walk in amazing
Bus and Trains to tenby, penbroke castle, Saundersfoot 5mins walk away
Two close pubs The cross inn and The overlander, very nice traditional dog friendly and nice food
The pitches are kept ok but you need levelling blocks
We had a hard standing and grass motorhome pitch
The you lad who showed us to our pitch was very friendly and helpful
Also the seasonal pitches people around us were so nice and friendly too

Disliked Very old toilet block needs up dating and cleaning
Although there is a selection of wooden blocks dotted around the campsite with newer showers and toilets in. They have good pressure and are hot with no button keep pressing 👍
But they could be cleaner 🤔

Road and train noise, we were next to the hedge on the bottom pitches and the road and trains are direct at the back of hedge
Although you don't hear them at night
So we did sleep ok

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Located close to Tenby, the beach was not far away and on good bus route.

Disliked Did not like the fast road that this site was located on, very noisy. I thought the old toilet block was dreadful and the new toilet block was even worse. You had 2 toilets/showers for a lot of people. Ran out of toilet paper & hand paper towels, no hand gel in the dispensers, lucky enough I took my own!! Was not cleaned often enough. That said some people are disgusting, they do not clean up after their selves. Someone had obviously trimmed their beard and left the sink covered in hair, could’nt be bothered to clean it up, brushing teeth in the kitchen area. I would not recommend or return to this site again.

Cleanliness is not their forte and would not recommend this campsite.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Friendliness of staff.

Disliked Toilets were lacking in quality, quantity and cleanliness- 3 toilets & 2 showers for ladies plus 2 unisex toilets/showers for the whole site. One sink was cracked and had been for a long time if the dirt in it was anything to go by.
There were no plugs for the sinks.
The backs of the toilet doors hadn't seen a cleaning cloth for sometime either.
The site was on a hill and backed onto a busy and noisy main road, plus the train tracks were on the other side of the busy road. Admittedly we should have checked before booking.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Very little. Location good for Tenby and Penally Beach.

Disliked Shower Blocks - Dirty and constantly running out of toilet paper. Water pressure intermittent. Toilet brushes disgusting. No vacant or engaged on the door. Toilets built into shower cubicle so waiting twice as long for the loo.
Noisy campsite with no regulation or policing after dark. Rowdy family noise and joint late night bbq’s with music playing most nights
Road noise not great and for some reason mobile vans and campers put there.
Misleading pictures on website would make it seem this camp site enjoyed cliff top bay views, on the contrary it really didn’t.

New integrated shower and toilet for family use. Site well maintained.

Electric grass touring caravan pitch

Liked Friendly greeting. Shown to pitch and everything explained.

Disliked Pitches seemed a little too close. Caravan a challenge to get level as on a slope, but breeze blocks supplied for extra levelling. Water very very hot in old shower blocks but if you can stand it a good strong shower. Dangerous for kids.

Nice well kept pitches. Close to Tenby and beach. Two good pubs…

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Nice site and the young man who greeted me was friendly friendly and helpful. Great location, 10 mins to beach and sea and 40 mins walk along the beach to Tenby.

Disliked No hand wash in be loos. This needs correctly as it's a terrible hygiene issue.
People playing loud music in the evening.
Screaming kids but I blame the parents.
Noise patrols required.
Wouldn't stop me coming back, just not in school holiday.
It's people letting their dogs roam about. Mine was kept on a long lead on our pitch. Dogs on leads needs to be strictly policed.

Local attractions

Tenby is a port of call for people wanting more than a paddle on the sea: boat trips will take you round the cliffs or out to spot the seals (pick a sunset cruise for marriage proposals, or just to be romantic) and to visit Caldey Island, a rocky nugget of peace, nature and history offshore where monks have been living since the sixth century (not the same ones, of course). To hit the beach, popular Saundersfoot and Pendine are 15 and 30 minutes' drive away, while surfers head for the big waves at Broad Haven and Newgale (40 and 50 minutes). The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path is 186 miles long, but don’t feel you have to do it in a day; marked trails along the cliffs give you cracking views and plenty of opps for nature spotting everywhere you go. (A popular short stretch is the eight-miler from Tenby to the castle at Manorbier – and the pub.) Also in the area, Heatherton World of Activities (10 minutes) gets you zipping through the trees, climbing ropes and driving go-karts; Oakwood Theme Park (half an hour) has rides to thrill and spill your drinks over, and at Folly Farm (20 minutes), you can combine a traditional fairground jolly with meeting farm animals and exotic beasts.
