A aimé Ready for a proper real review… honestly it’s been a long time since I found a site that was this good! We came across Gareth’s site on a whim and we were torn between Ffynnonddewi and a site just up from Newgale Beach on the roadside (you’ll see it on the left driving down to Newgale and thank yourself for booking Ffynnonddewi!). We’re so glad we booked here, it genuinely made our holiday having a great location to call our base/home for a few days. If you’re after somewhere that is quiet, has friendly hosts, great facilities, but near enough to everything in Pembrokeshire then you have to book here. So let’s talk about the facilities, and trust me you’ll take some of this for granted. Having your own composting toilet (that never once produced an ounce of odour!) on the pitch is a complete luxury we didn’t know we needed. The main shower and toilet blocks are also brilliant, and the water is hot! There is also a washing up area with kettle, so you can make sure your pots stay clean and have access to boiling water without messing about with gas cans and camping kettles. You can purchase drinks (soft and alcohol) from the on-site fridge as well as wood for camp fires. There’s an honesty payment system in place which I found it easiest to text Gareth what I’d taken and then pay up by card as I left. Now you could include this in facilities but the breakfast needs its own shout out. Every morning Gareth is on hand to provide breakfast baguettes or baps (including options for vegetarians and vegans) and the quality of the food is outstanding. Real highlight and memory of the trip for us having access to this every morning! The good to knows - BBQs and camp fires are allowed on site! Gareth can provide fire pits upon request so you don’t have to worry about bringing your own. Just be sensible and use the pits provided, and don’t go rogue with a fire on the ground. For pitch sizes, we were able to put our full size SUV with an XL roof tent on the pitch with loads of room to spare either side of the car. We also saw other pitches with camper vans, and 4-6 man tents, so they’re plenty big enough. In the local area there is loads of places to visit, but one particular seaside hamlet you have to visit is Porthgain. It’s an absolute gem! And make sure to get some fish and chips from The Shed, hands down the best I’ve had in years! The immediate surrounding fields are very walkable and dog friendly, just make sure to keep them on leads if you venture into a farmers field. It’s so remote that at night you don’t need to worry about light pollution, and if you stay up late enough on a clear night you can see the Milky Way. And can’t forget about the hosts… best site hosts we’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Gareth is always on hand to help and very friendly. Again another highlight of the trip for us having such great hosts! We had such a great time that we’ve already booked again for this year and we’re planning when to go in 2027 as well!

N'a pas aimé Nothing to dislike so I’ll give the top tips instead here: Composting toilet is outside in a field, of course there’s going to be spiders. Just take a head torch at night and brush them away if needed. The shower/toilet block can get hot on a warm summers day, so have a shower first thing or in the evening. Also dry robes and sandals/crocs are a good shout if you want to be quick in-and-out.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Wow Allan, thanks for taking the time to write such a fantastic review we are thrilled that you enjoyed our site so much and get exactly what we are trying to do. We are also thrilled that you have chosen to come back again so soon and look forward to seeing you again. Very best wishes Gareth, Luci and Harri

A aimé Large space for camping, didn't feel like you were on top of others on site at any point. If you like back to basics camping then this is a good site to go to. Local towns have food options if not using a bbq.

N'a pas aimé Unfortunately unable to have a campfire this time due to the dry grass caused by the recent heatwaves. Not really a lot to do on site, so if you're heading to Yew Tree Farm for a few days you will need to plan activities to do in nearby towns. Bins were very full and when opening them quite smelly. The toilet facilities although cleaned at times through the day can quickly become unclean if other campers aren't courteous (as was the case during our visit!).

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks for your review. If there is ever any issue with cleaning etc, I would be grateful if it was brought to my attention so I could do something about it sooner rather than later.
