  • Family site on a smallholding in the peaceful countryside
  • Half-an-hour from the sands of Aberporth and Tresaith
  • Top spot for clear-skies stargazing
Are you looking for a change of pace and some relaxation? Then roll on up to Trenoeth, a small family-friendly site 25 minutes’ drive from Carmarthen in Carmarthenshire, South Wales, where you’ll be on the go for your entire trip – except for when you’re chilling out in the peace and quiet on site. Trenoeth is a prime spot for basing yourself for a top-notch Welsh getaway, less than an hour from tons of the major sites and towns – including Cardigan Bay and a handful of theme parks – and around 10 minutes from National Cycle Route 47, which you can pick up in Dinas. Back on site, you can relax by kicking up your feet or taking a stroll around the wildlife pond, keeping your eyes peeled for kingfishers, herons and woodpeckers, and nesting ducks and geese. Fire up the barbecue when you’re feeling peckish and load it up with treats from the supermarket 15 minutes away, then chow down next to the campfire. If you’d prefer a break from the cooking, treat yourself to a meal (or two, or three, or … well, you get the message) at one of the restaurants within half an hour of Trenoeth before returning to site for a spot of stargazing – on clear nights, you can expect spectacular views of the Milky Way.

Electric optional grass pitch (medium)

Liked: Quiet area, secluded but just a little out of the way of anywhere for our liking.

Disliked: Showers weren’t particularly hot or powerful. No hot water at all to wash dishes. Pitch was sloped which caused some problems with sleeping

From the manager: Thanks for leaving us a review, sorry you felt we were a bit far out, we do state we are a rural hideaway site, however we couldn’t be more central to Newcastle Emlyn, Carmarthen & St clears-all reached by car within a short pleasant drive (no traffic) in about 20 minutes, I do believe you knew the area as you stayed with us to house hunt down here ? No one mentioned the hot water wasn’t working, apologises for this, I’m not sure why that was, as all seems fine again now? I believe you stayed on pitch 2 which isn’t sloping ? So I’m a little confused on that comment. Thank you for your overall rating and good luck with the house hunt.

Friendly welcome, excellent ideas of where to visit in local area.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely peaceful site. Nice clean hot showers. Lovely little walks nearby and a great base for further explorations ❤️ We loved there being no Internet, though, I imagine some wouldn't. Friendly site owners. An array of wild birds and plants. We would def come again.

Disliked: Tricky getting the 7m motorhome along the steep single track roads leading to the site but that's NOT their fault I just know its good to know potential problems so I'm listing it here. We disliked having to leave

The Brambles bell tent

Liked: The site is set deep in the Welsh countryside with great views and a lovely atmosphere. Lindsey & Scott, the owners were great people and make you feel at home in their home. The bell tent was perfect with its own barbecue and kitchen facilities and the bed was so comfortable. There is a bar onsite that's super reasonable and again a lovely welcoming atmosphere. We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay again. The stars alone were worth the trip, they were amazing with no light pollution.

Local attractions

If you’re craving some salt air and the smell of the ocean, you won’t have to look too far away: Trenoeth is 35 minutes’ drive from the sandy and sheltered Aberporth beach and Tresaith beach and waterfall, and Newport Bay, Pendine Sands and Saundersfoot are only a little further. Maybe it’s nature you’re craving? Within 45 minutes of Trenoeth, take a boat trip into Cardigan Bay for some dolphin spotting, explore Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and stroll the National Botanic Garden of Wales. History buffs will be well served in the area around the site: Cilgerran and Kidwelly castles, Castell Henllys Iron Age Village, the Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber portal dolmen and the steam trains at Gwilli Railway are all less than 45 minutes away. Trenoeth is toppers if you’ve got kids with you – not only are the beaches relatively close by, but the West Wales Museum of Childhood is just 20 minutes up the road, and Manor House Wildlife Park and Oakwood, Heatherton and Folly Farm theme parks are all less than an hour from site. Older heads who might like to have a more grownup adventure should pour themselves into the car and tip over to Dà Mhìle Distillery for a (pre-booked) tour and a sampling of the artisan gin, whisky and liquors they make on-site.
