Coast Path Camping

Gostou In my previous review, I neglected to mention some other aspects of the site and its location. St Ishmaels has a rich history and several sites of archaeological interest from Bronze Age, Roman, Middle Ages etc and more recent. The site itself has WWII gun emplacements, now used to support military veterans in their recovery. The church dates back to 1100 CE, and is open during the day. A short stroll from the church is Monkhaven Beach, also accessible along the coastal path from the site. St Ishmaels has much to offer, and Coast Path Camping is the perfect site from which to explore it.

Gostou Sea view, friendly owners, small and quiet rural site on a working farm, very good value, lovely location walking distance to 2 small beaches and to St Ishmaels village, lots of indoor facilities in a barn including washing machine and dryer, fridge and freezer, cooker, sink, dining table, art area with sketch pads and art equipment and a separate snug with TV.

Gostou Amazing view, friendly staff. Electric hook up available. Very close to amazing beach’s by car.

Não gostou Better sign on farm entrance as missed entry and ended on a single track which reversing back down was tricky.
Toilet and showers were basic like you would find at a festival, but clean.

Gostou This was a wonderful find! We loved it so much we extended our stay (luckily they had space). The site is well signposted from St Ishmaels, and we received a warm welcome on arrival from Flo, Phil and Flynn. There is ample space for pitches, and we were lucky to get prime position with incredible views over the bay. The site - on a working farm with cute, curious cattle and sheep (including some tame hand-reared sheep happy for a cuddle) - offers private access direct onto the coastal path, which is close to secluded Lindsway beach and also to Dale (do check tide tables before you set off, though!). There is also an excellent pub nearby in St Ishmael's (10 min walk), and the fleccsi bus for access to Dale and Marloes, should you prefer not to drive. Facilities include clean, well-stocked toilets and showers, washing space for dishes, drinking water point, EHU option, etc - everything you need. The closest shop (in Dale) has all the basics, with bigger supermarkets further away should you need more. Phil and Flo are exceptional hosts, and Flynn is delightful - playful and friendly - and your stay here is sure to be wonderful!

Não gostou Nowt. Be aware, though, that the site can get breezy as it is right on the coast - great for drying washing, but make sure to hammer tent / awning pegs in well!

Gostou Small field with nice views out to sea. Cows and sheep freely roaming about mowing the grass. Well equipped site with everything you need inc hot showers, toilets, pot washing etc. Very quiet and peaceful. Walked the coastal path which is accessible right from the site and a nice dog friendly local pub with a good range of meals.

Gostou We liked the coastal location and the views. The outdoor showers were also fun! The owners were helpful and friendly.

Gostou The view was somewhat nice.

Não gostou We had a hard time finding the camping (there is no sign on the coastal path) and when we finally arrived we found a desolate farm. We walked all around the farm and did not find anyone and the owners number did not gave a response.

Later we found a field with some tents and caravans (there was a sign on the farm but some dusty van was parked in front of it). We asked some guest if they knew the owner or how to contact him/her and they told us that there wasn’t anyone and that they just took a spot on this field. This made us do the same as we were getting tired and already paid online upfront.

The facilities were decent but very dirty and old.

The next day as we wanted to leave (no one has stopped by at our tent yet). We saw a young girl with a shepherds dog (maybe the owners daughter?) going on to the meadow. Before entering the meadows the dog was running around the camping field and almost knocked over our burning gas canister, and took a leak on the campsite field. After this the young girl left, and we left shortly after this.

We and our neighbours still didn’t saw anyone upon our departure. And left the camping bewildered.

Gostou Small, no nonsense campsite with direct access to coast path and great walks either side. Nice village with good pub too. Views great but obv its on the coast so be mindful where you pitch as it can get windy! They're currently working on converting one of the barns into a lounge area. I was unlucky enough to have my car break down whilst staying there and they were really kind and relaxed letting me stay in their barns whilst waiting for the RAC. Signposting to site was super, apart from coming onto the actual yard. Seeing as its the last farm on the road and their address is clearly displayed on entrance I should have just paid more attention probably. Good mobile phone reception too, which isn't always the case on the coast.

Não gostou Earlier reviews mentioned urinals in both shower and toilet block which are shared gender. That was a bit weird to run the risk of coming across someone. That said, think most men actually used the toilet cubicles so wasn't an issue.
