What customers say
Pencarnan Farm offers a stunning coastal location with beach access & breathtaking views. Staff are friendly, amenities excellent (bar, cafe, pizza), & pitches spacious. Facilities are generally clean. Some note outdated facilities & wind exposure, but overall highly recommended!
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Lovely site, great location. Would return in spite of water issue.
16-amp Rhosson Field powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Friendly and informative welcome. Quiet site with spacious pitches. Lovely scenic surrounding and great sunset views. Access to sites own beach which is dog friendly and suitable for swimming. Also lots of paddle boards and kayaks on the go. Courtyard area where you can find toilets, showers and washing up facilities. Also a coffee shop, pizzas, bar and shop with a little bit of everything available.
Access to a field where dogs can go off lead. Nice walks along the coastal path in both directions, and a regular bus to nearby St David’s.
Disliked Narrow access roads, but to be expected for remote location. Water supply can be an issue here, would not have been a problem in a motorhome/ caravan if knew to fill up before you arrive just in case. Three night stay and lost water every evening for different durations. This could have been shower use after lots of beach activity, but did impact on toilet flushing as well as water availability at times.
Also feel few toilets and showers for size of site.

Excellent location but site facilities a big let down
16-amp Rhosson Field powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Fantastic location with their own access to a dog friendly beach. Stunning views from the beach and the coast path is adjacent to the site. The Celtic Coaster was handy for travelling to and from St Davids but it was also walkable though the lane can get quite busy.
We did arrive earlier but didnt have any problems checking in. The reception was very helpful and gave lots of information too.
The bar area provided Pizzas and also breakfast was available too. We were very lucky with the weather so tended to BBQ in the evening however did use the bar and enjoyed our Pornstar Martini cocktails.
Disliked We stayed for 3 nights and for 2 of those we had no water at all. Luckily we had prepared for the last night by adding some water into our tank so we could freshen up but felt for the many campers that hadnt got any to wash or prepare food especially the families.
I did feel that the lack of any water in the toilets was a health issue and perhaps the camp site should have offered bottled water to allow hands to be washed.
My advise would be to ensure you have a shower in the morning.
I am undecided if this issue would stop me from booking this site again as signs around site do warn that this is a recurring issue. Dont think I was aware of this before I booked and considering the cost of our stay which was over £190 for the 3 nights and was the most expensive site on our touring holiday, I do not feel it was value for money.

Brilliant! Excellent location, and very friendly site.
3-amp Rhosson Field powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Everything! The whole ethos of the campsite: very welcoming, with quirky thoughtful details on site such as the sociable courtyard with coffee bar morphing into drinks bar in the evening (with rooftop seating), toiletry provisions in the showers, and lots of space in the camping fields, which run right down to the beach.

Liked Location is fantastic, there's plenty of space between pitches and the shop/bar/pizza area with roof terrace is just fantastic. The beach is right there as well and basically feels like a private beach.
Disliked Showers probably in need of an upgrade (at the very least take the cobwebs off the windows)

Great site and facilities, amazing location
3-amp Rhosson Field powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Shop, cafe and bar were great facilities. Location and access to the beach were incredible. Toilet & shower blocks were older but very clean and fully functional.
Disliked Only downside was it seemed to be hard to book a pitch in the beach view field. Couldn’t get availability online but the field was mostly empty when we were there. Would absolutely try again another time though. A few more toilets or showers dotted around would be good if possible as they could be a bit of a trek from some pitches.

Coastal site with lovely beach and easy access to the coast path.
16-amp Ramsey Island Field powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Nice relaxed site with plenty of space for pitching. Great walking/running on the doorstep. Good bus connections for such a remote site. Nice vibe with on-site bar and courtyard. The pizzas were among the best we;ve ever had.
Disliked A little exposed in the wind but comes with the territory. The loos were sometimes a little busy esepecially if any were out of service. Showers not super warm.
