Shepherd's hut

  • Peaceful campsite on Pembrokeshire's Dale Peninusla
  • A 200-metre walk from the coast path; Saint Ishmael's half a mile away
  • Working farm with livestock on site; a short walk to the village pub
Located in Pembrokeshire's gorgeous national park, Coast Path Camping is a peaceful West Wales site set on a working beef and sheep farm. This laidback spot is 200 metres from the coastal footpath that skirts Wales' entire coastline, making it a top pick for hikers. It's also mere metres from Lindsway beach, a secluded spot where Queen Elizabeth and her son King Charles picnicked in the 1950s. The Dale Peninsula has lots more coastal villages to explore, as well as lots of history – this stretch of the coast path has old forts, beacons and lighthouses to explore, as well as some truly spectacular views out to sea. Coast Path Camping is home to good amenities, including well-maintained toilets and showers. Well-behaved dogs are welcome here, but they'll need to be on leads at all times due to the goats, cattle and sheep on site. The campsite is located in a rural area, away from any busy roads and about half a mile from the pleasant village of Saint Ishmael's. In the village, stop off at The Brook Inn for evening drinks or a meal, or head over to the garden centre to see whether any fancy foliage is on offer.

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: The site itself was a fabulous level field with amazing views, near to the coast path. The pub in the village serves lovely food.

Disliked: The shower splashed water all over the floor in the block, with no way to clear it. We spoke to the owner who apologised and said there was a mop outside, but we pointed out that a clean one inside was needed. There were urinals in both toilet blocks, which as a woman made me feel uncomfortable, although they were clean.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Friendly staff, beautiful view, level pitches! On arrival we were shown about by a really lovely lady who kept us up to date with weather patterns, what wildlife has been seen in the area and what is around locally. The toilets (4 of them) were all kept clean. We loved the water butts that had been made into showers - such a cool concept and lovely hot water! Pitches were level and there's a cut through the fields to get straight onto the coastal path. Its a proper campsite, no frills or fancy canteen at the top of the hill, just a quiet campsite where we felt safe - made it perfect for backpackers like us, we'd definitely stop in again.

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Lovely location. So much to see and do locally. Bring all your catering and cooking needs with you. Ideal for an upgrade on camping in a tent but no frills.

Disliked: No washing up area: this could be. Problem if you stay for a while.

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Brilliant hosts, goats and access to coastal path.

Disliked: Facilities not as advertised only one toilet and shower, no pot wash or elsan. Limited electric hook ups,

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: anonymous really I’ve had a bad review off someone that can’t even tell me who they are . How can I take this seriously. I’m sure you can only use one toilet at a time and I only shower in one at a time . They were clean and tidy . So not really sure what the problem was . There is an Elsan and there is hook ups I’m sure if you paid for one you got one . If I knew who you were I can check you paid for it . Really Pitch up you’re going to let this bring my overall score down . Someone who has not the bottle to leave their name .

Liked: Small-sized campsite with excellent view and a very friendly host. The toilet block is impeccably clean.

Disliked: Nothing in fact, however the toilet facilities may be insufficient when the campsite is full - it wasn't when I visited so everything was perfect for me.

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Absolutely fantastic place with stunning views. Phil was very welcoming and friendly. The toilets and shower were clean with hot water. A friendly and welcoming pub a short walk away. The weather was lovely which meant we could relax outside after a beautiful coastal walk easily accessed through the field. Ate lunch at the local garden centre which was very good. The people were so friendly in the local village.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike this farm is run by one of life’s true gents.
