What customers say
Peaceful, scenic campsite with coastal path access. Friendly owners and clean loos (some with a unique shower idea). Local pubs nearby. Some found it a bit basic, with toilet facilities and lack of washing-up area noted by a few.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Peaceful, unhurried, friendly field.
Power optional grass caravan site
Liked We loved the simplicity. We wanted somewhere that we could just be, without the pressure to go and do. Signage from the main road was clear.
Someone was on hand to welcome us when we arrived and everyone we met there was friendly and helpful, including the other campers.
This is a field on a farm, surrounded by other fields with cows and sheep. The coastal path is 5 minutes walk and has fabulous walks and views.
We had electric hook up, there are 2 toilet and shower blocks, basic but clean, a washing up area, water pipe and sewage disposal (past the toilets, through the gate and you’ll see the pipe from the silage tank and 2 small pipes to the sides- use any of the pipes!).
We loved the quietness, views out to sea and of Pembroke Refinery, the dark skies at night and the friendly, helpful owners.
Highly recommend if you want a simple camping experience in a beautiful location.

Great vfm, amazing views and good facilities when site is not busy!
Power optional grass caravan site
Liked The site was incredibly quiet, pretty flat ground and tidy. The views were excellent and the hosts were very welcoming. Access to the coast path was a real plus. Toilets, showers and washing up facilities were pretty straight forward but perfectly suitable. Electric hookup was fine but needed to be checked a few times as it tripped off due to others using power hungry equipment.

Power optional grass caravan site
Liked Great views and really friendly staff who introduced us to some of the animals on the farm. Great walk down to small bay, straight from the site.
Disliked Shower block is dated. Maybe an additional sign at the farm gate to highlight the location.

Excellent location with exceptional hosts and much to do and see.
Power optional grass caravan site
Liked In my previous review, I neglected to mention some other aspects of the site and its location. St Ishmaels has a rich history and several sites of archaeological interest from Bronze Age, Roman, Middle Ages etc and more recent. The site itself has WWII gun emplacements, now used to support military veterans in their recovery. The church dates back to 1100 CE, and is open during the day. A short stroll from the church is Monkhaven Beach, also accessible along the coastal path from the site. St Ishmaels has much to offer, and Coast Path Camping is the perfect site from which to explore it.

Liked Sea view, friendly owners, small and quiet rural site on a working farm, very good value, lovely location walking distance to 2 small beaches and to St Ishmaels village, lots of indoor facilities in a barn including washing machine and dryer, fridge and freezer, cooker, sink, dining table, art area with sketch pads and art equipment and a separate snug with TV.

Power optional grass caravan site
Liked Amazing view, friendly staff. Electric hook up available. Very close to amazing beach’s by car.
Disliked Better sign on farm entrance as missed entry and ended on a single track which reversing back down was tricky.
Toilet and showers were basic like you would find at a festival, but clean.

Wonderful site, great for a relaxing break. Lovely hosts. And views!
Power optional grass caravan site
Liked This was a wonderful find! We loved it so much we extended our stay (luckily they had space). The site is well signposted from St Ishmaels, and we received a warm welcome on arrival from Flo, Phil and Flynn. There is ample space for pitches, and we were lucky to get prime position with incredible views over the bay. The site - on a working farm with cute, curious cattle and sheep (including some tame hand-reared sheep happy for a cuddle) - offers private access direct onto the coastal path, which is close to secluded Lindsway beach and also to Dale (do check tide tables before you set off, though!). There is also an excellent pub nearby in St Ishmael's (10 min walk), and the fleccsi bus for access to Dale and Marloes, should you prefer not to drive. Facilities include clean, well-stocked toilets and showers, washing space for dishes, drinking water point, EHU option, etc - everything you need. The closest shop (in Dale) has all the basics, with bigger supermarkets further away should you need more. Phil and Flo are exceptional hosts, and Flynn is delightful - playful and friendly - and your stay here is sure to be wonderful!
Disliked Nowt. Be aware, though, that the site can get breezy as it is right on the coast - great for drying washing, but make sure to hammer tent / awning pegs in well!
