  • Peaceful rural site a 15-minute walk from the village pub
  • Half an hour from the beaches of the south and west coasts
  • Firepit hire available on site, with wood and kindling to buy
Fancy a spot of rural relaxation a short walk from the village pub and with easy access to the famed Welsh castles and coastline? Then take a break at Y Bwthyn, a peaceful place surrounded by farmland and a 15-minute trot from the pub in Llandissilio. Energetic small fry (and accompanying canines) can romp about with impunity at this spacious site, and there’s plenty of stuff nearby to fuel holiday smiles too. Perhaps they’d like to play at being knights at Laugharne Castle or build sandcastles on Saundersfoot beach? Both are within a half-hour drive. Guests are welcome to set up their own barbecue or campfire for warm alfresco soirées (sensible locations away from the pitches only please, peeps) and individual firepits, wood and kindling are available to request on arrival for an extra charge. All the basics are provided for a comfy stay: the toilet and shower block is sited on the accommodation field, and has separate facilities for ladies and gents.

Liked Lovely location for exploring Pembrokeshire National Park. Campsite owners were very welcoming.

Disliked Some of the other site users were not very respectful of the shared spaces; leaving the washing up room and toilets in a very poor state. Also very noisy after 11pm.

Conin camping pod

Liked Lovely peaceful campsite. Just what we needed. Plenty of space for the kids to kick a football and the swing was the highlight for our 11 year old!
Lovely hot showers, not far from the pods. We will definitely be returning.
Thankyou for a lovely few days 😊

10-amp powered grass site

Liked Owners were very welcoming, and informative on local secluded beaches. pitches were clean, showers were hot, great real camp site to get away from the hussle, amazing star gazing.

Disliked bins overflowed but not near pitches, this is being picky but honest review

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Many thanks for your review. Appreciate the feedback. We will add extra bins. Unfortunately very few people seem to recycle their rubbish on holiday, so I have to sort it 2 or 3 times a day when busy, and sometimes I just can't keep up! Thanks for staying, and we hope you can come back again sometime.

10-amp powered grass site

Liked The owners Nigel and Erika are really personable and make efforts to get to know every camper and their families, stopping by a few times a day to check in and have a chat. The facilities are cleaned several times a day. Showers are hot.
The campsite is small and very quiet giving a real family-friendly feel. You can see the children from anywhere on site - a few boundaries set and you can relax as the children play around and feel comfortable that they can run around free.
Pitch size is generous and affordable. The EHU is very close to the pitch.
Being an ex-Steel worker, Nigel made the eclipse special by allowing
us all to see the eclipse through his welder’s mask. You can hire fire pits made by Nigel and are provided wood at a ridiculously affordable hire price.
We weren’t ushered out, allowing us to leave at our leisure made things a lot easier, especially as it was hot as we packed our tent so we appreciated time for drinks of water and rests.
It is central to Pembrokeshire so everywhere is within a respectable drive away meaning you can easily drive and explore all of Pembrokeshire.
The view of the stars at night is incredible.
We will not think twice about booking the next time we are in Pembrokeshire. This was our 3rd extended family camping holiday and we all had the best camping experience we’re had so far. We didn’t want to leave!

Disliked Providing a bin in the washing up area might help it stay tidier and smell less in there.
There was bins provided but sanitary bins in the ladies would be nice.

10-amp powered grass site

Liked .

Lovely small site. Owners Nigel and Erica are a superb! They pop down a few times a day. Will check in but aren't overbearing or intrusive. Each pitch is provided with a fire pit, buckets of wood can be purchased on site, cheaper than local shops. Tents/caravans are all pitched around the outside of the field. This leaves a big open space for in the middle, great for games like badminton, flying kites etc.

There is no light pollution apart from the odd torch, so at night the opportunity to see the stars is incredible.

Toilets and showers were cleaned daily, and set just off the site. This was perfect they were still very close but you will not be pitched up directly next to them.

Quiet policy is requested from 10/10.30, so not to disturb people trying to sleep.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for this very detailed review. We really do appreciate it very much, and are just really pleased that you enjoyed yourselves. Hopefully your nighttime journey home went well. Hope you can return again soon. Many thanks.

Route directions

In Llandissilio, turn opposite the old post office at the crossroads, signposted to Maenclochog. The site is 3/4 of a mile from the main road, (the first driveway on the left). It's immediately on the righthand side after you go over the cattle grid.

Local attractions

Half an hour’s drive takes you down to the beaches of the south coast, including the sandy stretches at Saundersfoot and Tenby, from where you can also take a boat trip out of the harbour to try your luck spotting the local seals. Active types can pick up the Pembrokeshire Coast Path from Tenby to take a ramble along part of its 186-mile length in search of cliffs, coves and castles; a popular stretch is the eight-mile section from Tenby to Manorbier Castle. Those who’d rather take to the sea can hire motorboats, kayaks and jetskis in Tenby, or have a go at waterskiing or wakeboarding. Surfing types can head west to Newgale, just over half an hour away and a well known fave for boarders. There’s always a castle nearby in this part of Wales, and at Y Bwthyn your nearest examples are Picton Castle, 20 minutes away, and Laugharne Castle, half an hour’s drive away. Picton looks like a classic castle from the outside, but has been restored inside as a smart stately home – a rather fab mash-up of styles. Leave time to walk through the woods and visit the Secret Owl Garden, too. Laugharne, in contrast, is an atmospheric ruin that overlooks the Taf estuary and provides some imagination-firing glimpses into 12th-century life.
