  • Spacious pitches on a farm five minutes' drive from Whitland
  • Sandy Telpyn Beach 15 minutes’ drive; Tenby 25 minutes
  • Private showers and eco-friendly bathroom pods
Situated on Pen Back Farm, in the splendid Carmarthenshire countryside of south-west Wales, family- and dog-friendly Cowpots Camping spreads over three large fields. The biggest of these, anchored by a Welsh oak tree, measures about 11 acres. If you struggle to picture it, it’s roughly the size of the roof that covers Wembley Stadium – not too shabby, right? Separated from each other by long grass and willow trees for privacy, all pitches have their own individual eco-friendly bathroom pods, which include a composting loo and a private off-grid shower with plenty of hot water – a welcome luxury after a day spent hiking in these hills, perhaps looking for foxes, rabbits and birds like red kites and buzzards. Speaking of birds, if you fancy waking up to a dawn chorus of blue tits, magpies, robins and finches, you’ve come to the right place. Alternatively, you can spend a day at the beach: sandy Telpyn (15 minutes’ drive), sheltered at its eastern end by a headland with smooth rocks, is a popular sunbathing spot. The beach also welcomes dogs all year round, so your four-legged buddy can join you as you brave the cool waters. Back at the site, each pitch also comes with its own water supply, washing-up area, picnic bench and stone firepit. Barbecues are allowed on site, and guests can purchase wood and firelighters at the on-site pizzeria, The Cowshed, which serves delicious homemade pizzas and award-winning ice creams. The closest town is Whitland (about a five-minute drive away), which has convenience stores, restaurants and pubs. The site also has the Wild Wellbeing Spa, where guests can purchase an outdoor spa experience to access the relaxing outdoor sauna and hot tub, the cold plunge pool and a calming outdoor space (note it's also open to the public and for exclusive hire).

What customers say

Stunning, quiet spot with amazing views & huge pitches (many with own loos/showers). Great pizza, lovely spa, and friendly staff. Just a few noted it's a bit pricey for the vending machine and the dog field grass could do with a tidy.

Frisky and Nugget unpowered concrete and grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site (private bathroom amenities)

Liked Really spacious pitches. We loved the private toilet and shower. We had a raised fire pit and a lower fire pit. We loved the pizzas. Absolutely delicious.
Martin was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely come back. We want to book the spa next time.

Tree Field unpowered concrete and grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site (private bathroom amenities)

Liked Great spacious pitches, lovely site, staff are really helpful, on site pizza and ice cream was great and the wild spa is a great feature! Compost loo's won't be to everyone's liking but not a problem for us.

Disliked We wish that the on site shop was still there and selling essentials. It's not a mega issue nipping into the local village but it would have been nice to buy bits and bobs without a 20/30 minute round trip. Even more so if you travel without a cool box like us!

It's a great back to basic site and it was lovely to relax for the week but I can imagine that it could be tricky to keep younger kids entertained. There was a games shed but it seemed largely empty when we popped our heads in.

Liked Beautiful setting with amazing views.

Really large pitches with own shower/ toilet/ washing up facilities.

Incredible pizzeria, The Cow Shed, onsite with lovely, friendly staff. It gets busy so make sure to book.

Disliked Loved the concept of ‘dog field’ as space to let dogs off lead but the grass here hadn’t been cut for a while and very long which meant wasn’t as great as it could have been.

Local attractions

For a family day out, head to Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (15 minutes' drive). Adults might get all nostalgic at the vintage rides, including dodgems, waltzers and a big wheel with colourful carriages; meanwhile, the kids can make friends with barnyard animals or blow off some steam in the large adventure play area. A walk among the wildflower meadows and blossoming rhododendrons at National Trust - Colby Woodland Garden (15 minutes) might yield more than gardening ideas, with traces of the local mining heritage still visible around the grounds. And if vintage wheels and old tramway tracks don’t do it for you, check out the view across Carmarthen Bay. It’s easy to spend a few hours in the coastal town of Tenby (25 minutes), with the ruins of a medieval castle, a sandy beach and a quaint harbour lined with pastel-coloured houses. Tenby is also the departure point for boat trips to monastic Caldey Island, where you can visit a chocolate maker and look out for resident seals.
