  • Peaceful 10-acre site two miles from Solva harbour
  • Within 15 minutes' drive of St Davids and Newgale beach
  • Campfires welcome, with firepits provided and wood for sale
Stretched across 10 acres, with open space all around and within easy striking distance of St Davids and Solva… Ffynnonddewi’s a super spot for a break in pretty Pembrokeshire. ‘Back to basics camping as it used to be – but with better bathrooms’ is how the folk here see their site. In fact, each pitch has its own composting toilet, and a dog shower is available for four-legged friends. Hot showers for humans are also on hand to hose off the sand after a beachy outing. Stargazing around the campfire is one of their fave pursuits, so they’ve kitted the place out with firepits and will happily sell you some wood to stack up in them. Barbecues are welcome too, with supplies to be sourced from the delis of St Davids or the bigger supermarkets 15 minutes away in Haverfordwest. Ffynnonddewi has its very own cidery on site and is fully-licensed to sell ciders and other local beers and wines. These can be delivered right to your pitch, and there's also the option of having baguettes and hot drinks delivered for breakfast the next morning. Nippers with energy to spare have plenty of space to run about and play games on site, and there’s a separate six acres next door where dogs can be liberated from the lead for some dashing about.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: A fantastic 5 night stay at this camp. Everything you need, a hot shower and toilet block, compost toilets on each pitch as well. Breakfast hut and fridge that you can purchase beers, own cider and milk which was a huge plus. Perfectly situated for our walks or short drives out. Cannot fault it or Gareth who runs his site well. Thank you, we'll definitely be back.

Local attractions

Pembrokeshire’s famed for its beaches – and rightly so, for they are many and varied. Stride forth on foot from Ffynnonddewi and you’ll get to the nearest little beach in about half an hour; for something somewhat more massive, it’s a 10-minute drive to the two miles of splendid sands at Newgale, or 20 minutes to Whitesands. Both are popular surf hangouts too, with kit hire and guidance to be had. In between the beaches, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs along all 186 miles of the county’s coastline and makes for some cracking days of sea-view strolling. Should you be hankering after something more energetic, activity centres 15 minutes away in St Davids can hook you up with days of kayaking, paddleboarding, coasteering and climbing. It’s worth sticking around in St Davids for a while too, to take a wander around the cathedral and Bishop’s Palace, and grab a bite in one of its independent restaurants or pubs. It’s also the place to sign up for boat trips to Ramsey Island, home to Wales’s most sizeable grey seal colony.
