The Land Campsite

While water might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you picture rural Pembrokeshire, it has its fair share of water-based activities. To start with, there are coasteering and kayaking activities around the handsome Blue Lagoon at Abereiddy (40 minutes’ drive) and the traditional seaside surfing and swimming to dabble in at Barafundle Bay (45 minutes). While you’re on that wild swimming roll, the Rosebush quarry (15 minutes) is a good place to cool off after tackling the walking trails. There’s many a cove to take a plunge in along the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path (25 minutes) too, no matter how hot you get. There are activities on land too, of course, and that’s true of Llys y Frân Country Park & Reservoir (40 minutes’ walk or five minutes’ drive), where there are footpaths, mountain biking trails, fishing and playgrounds. Preseli Hills (half an hour) is another prime walking area, while Wood Park Off-Road (five minutes) will take things up a notch with its off-road trails. Got the full family with you? Perhaps a trek at Pembrokeshire Llamas (15 minutes), horse riding at Nolton Haven (25 minutes) or the rides at Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (25 minutes) will keep the kids nicely entertained.
