  • Family-friendly site 10 minutes’ drive from lengthy Pendine Sands
  • Oakwood Theme Park and Folly Farm within 40 minutes
  • A five-minute drive from Laugharne; restaurant and bar on site
Sweeping green fields, lengthy stretches of sand and wild coastal walks… If that unleashes your inner poet, get inspired at Nine Acres Camping Caravan Park, a family-friendly site five minutes’ drive from Laugharne in Carmarthenshire. Dylan Thomas called Laugharne the strangest town in Wales, but that didn’t stop him putting down roots there and it certainly shouldn’t stop you visiting… Clamber around the ruins of 13th-century Laugharne Castle before following the Dylan Thomas Mile out to his Boathouse on the stunning Taf estuary – or, if you fancy some lengthier explores, join the Wales Coast Path for 870 miles of fab Welsh coastline rambles. When you’re in need of eats, the on-site outdoor restaurant has plenty of delicious menu items (all cooked fresh in front of you), and there's also a licenced bar serving drinks. Otherwise, set the barbecue smouldering or head into Laugharne to try some local bites. There's a washing-up area on site, along with facilities for waste disposal and dealing with rubbish. Four drinking water points have been placed at strategic locations around the park, so you'll not go thirsty around here. Unisex showers and toilets are housed in a block that's been thoughtfully provided with electric points for shavers and hairdryers and has central heating (big thumbs up to that in the chiller months). Please make sure that you dispose of all waste in the areas provided.

Local attractions

Be sure to pack your swimming cossie for Nine Acres stays – Pendine Sands is a 10-minute drive from base and is fab for swimming, surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding as well as its sand-based strolling and its ocean views… and perhaps land speed record attempts too? Malcolm Campbell set a record on the seven-mile stretch in 1924, so make sure to stop in at the Museum of Speed to get yourself up to speed. If you’re after more slow-paced history, there’s plenty nearby you’ll want to tick off the list, starting with Llansteffan and Kidwelly castles and the Tudor Merchant’s House in Tenby (all about 40 minutes away), before slightly longer jaunts for historical yarns at the National Wool Museum and reliving your youth at the West Wales Museum of Childhood. Stick around Tenby to nab a berth on seal-spotting cruises, spend a few hours walking and talking with the animals at Manor Wildlife Park (just don't expect them to talk back), and potter around Folly Farm – or you could stay a little closer to home base for an animal-free but spectacular afternoon at the National Botanic Garden of Wales. Finish your break on a high note by making a beeline for the heady heights and adrenaline rides at Oakwood Theme Park, 40 minutes away.

What customers say

Friendly, family-run spot with great owners, ample pitches, and a chilled vibe. Bar and food a hit. Facilities are clean enough for most, though some reckon they need a spruce-up. A few grumbles about noise and off-leash dogs.

Liked Piece and quite .
The owner was lovely.

Disliked Site a bit untidy and needed a freshen up. I know it was the end of the season but this was historic and could have been attended too. If you don't mind basic it's fine.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review your stay, dont suppose you had the terrible stormy weather all last week this storm caused many of my seasonal storm damage so if this is what you are referring to so sorry, as for more detail yes this is what i do but again one can only do what is possible, i am on a weekly basis supplying hooks in showers, again i am so sorry this spoilt your stay, but due to the weather on Friday and Saturday i suppose the frustration had to be taken out on me

We camp regularly (went to 3 this summer). Not a place we'd stay at.

Annette M.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked nothing at all

Disliked We booked this for 4 nights. Google maps took us to a quarry. Driving on along the country lane we soon found it on the left. Reception is a small wooden shed that was locked. There was nobody there. We parked up as after a 3hr drive we all needed to use the bathroom facilities before pitching. The toilets were the worst I have ever seen - at any campsite. There was poo on the floor and stuck inside the toilet bowl. The mens seemed worse, from what my 8 year old and my husband described, and they could tell it had not been cleaned for some time. Their sink was adorned with many dead flies. We got in our car and left.

Tom F.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Everyone at the site were really friendly. The site was busy as we visited on bank holiday weekend but there was still plenty of space for the children to ride their bikes and play games around the site. There was some bike racing organised which was enjoyed by about 15 kids pinning it around the course trying to beat their own, or friends and siblings, previous times. The bar and kitchen were a nice addition with a good selection of food and drink. We were lucky enough to be there at the same time as a previous XFactor contestant who got the karaoke up and running providing some good entertainment in the evening. Durning the day, visiting Ginst point was a highlight as passing through the security gates and past the MOD land made it feel like a real adventure. Once on the beach it felt like we had the place to ourselves as we enjoyed a swim and collected some cockles for our tea. Pendine was also nice and had some interesting caves and rock pools to explore.

Disliked Having to go home after a brilliant stay.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Solitude

Disliked Not a single sign of site manager / owner reception was achieved via phone number on pitch up …..… The advertised services .. of evening food and drink ..did not materialise …. Toilets and showers needed updating… empty bottles and glasses left in communal areas. This was a mid August stop over and we are left feeling very unhappy from a comparatively expensive site that failed to deliver the facilities it advertised ….

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review your 1 night stay, and finding everything unacceptable to you, the glasses were being returned from visitors that had permission from me to take there drinks back to there pitches, as well there had been a few parties that had a leaving party, but why am i explaining this to you you were obviously not liking anything. The bar would have been open on request as well as the kitchen
