Campsites & glamping in Pembrokeshire

A Pembrokeshire camping trip can revolve around beach days, the coast path or a few quieter days inland. Choose your part of the county before choosing your pitch: a base near St Davids, one around Tenby and an inland stay near Boncath lead to different daily journeys. Start with the place or activity you most want nearby, then compare the accommodation and facilities you actually need.

Choose a base for the holiday you want

Where to start your Pembrokeshire campsite search
Area	A reason to consider it	A practical question
Tenby and Saundersfoot	Seaside-town and beach days	How will you get from the campsite to the seafront with beach equipment, and where will your vehicle stay?
St Davids and the western coast	Coastal scenery and walking	Which field or pitch will you use, how exposed is it, and where is the usable entrance to your chosen walk?
Newport, Fishguard and the north	A base for exploring the northern coast	Which specific stretch of coast matters most, and what is your return plan after a one-way walk?
Boncath and the inland north	Meadow camping or glamping with inland time	Are you content to make separate journeys to the beach, shops and other days out?
Daugleddau estuary and inland countryside	A different setting around wooded waterways and farmland	Does your planned activity start at a particular village or launch point rather than anywhere along the estuary?

Explore Visit Pembrokeshire’s local information and its Daugleddau estuary guide to narrow the area. The latter identifies walks from Lawrenny and Landshipping; consult the route details before deciding whether either fits your group.

Coastal fields or an inland meadow?

These two existing Go Explore profiles illustrate choices that a broad “camping and glamping” label can hide. They are examples to investigate, not a ranking of the county’s sites.

Two contrasting settings, checked against operator information on 2 October 2026
Go Explore profile	What the operator publishes	Why it affects your choice
Pencarnan Farm Caravan and Camping Site, near St Davids	A working farm reaching Porthsele beach, with camping fields in different positions on an exposed coast.	Choose the field for your equipment and conditions, as well as the outlook. Establish the route to the beach from that field.
Top of the Woods, near Boncath	Car-free meadow camping, separate Friends Power & Park Up pitches and several glamping options.	A meadow tent stay has different unloading and electricity arrangements from a vehicle or powered pitch.

Pencarnan: the farm’s own account describes fields overlooking Whitesands Bay and other fields set farther back. It also makes clear that wind is a feature of the location. Ask which field is proposed for your stay, how to approach it with your vehicle and which facilities serve it. A coastline photograph cannot tell you how sheltered an individual pitch will be.

Top of the Woods: the meadow camping page places parking outside the meadow and lists shared showers and kitchen conveniences. Its separate Friends Power & Park Up page describes optional electric hook-up and parking by the pitch. The main website also offers glamping and campervan options. Tell the operator exactly what you are bringing; confirm the selected product, vehicle dimensions and extras rather than assuming every camping area has the same services.

A coast-path break: choose the walk before the campsite

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs from St Dogmaels to Amroth. You do not need to tackle a long section to enjoy it: the National Park provides circular and out-and-back options through its walking guidance. Select a route for your ability, time and weather, then see which campsites fit the start and finish.

For a one-way walk, a useful approach is to arrange transport to the start and walk back towards your vehicle or base. Confirm the service for your date before committing. The National Park’s transport page links to current county timetables and on-demand services. Do not assume an old coastal-bus leaflet still applies. Check the path’s current notices too, including diversions or tidal sections relevant to your route.

Two simple short-break plans

For a western coastal stay: keep arrival day for pitching and finding your immediate surroundings. Give the next day to one suitable coastal walk or beach visit, with a town visit as an alternative if conditions change. Leave your final morning for a shorter outing near the campsite. This avoids tying every day to a long drive or an ambitious walking distance.

For an inland camping or glamping stay: allow a full day to use the site and its immediate surroundings, then choose one coastal outing on another day. Confirm any advertised activity’s booking arrangements separately. A beach, spa, guided activity or food event mentioned on a campsite website need not be included in the accommodation price.

Compare the pitch, not just the photograph

For tent camping, find out where you unload, how far the facilities are and whether power is available at the pitch. For a campervan or caravan, send the full length and width, including an awning, and request the operator’s arrival directions. Ask whether you will park on grass or hardstanding.

For glamping, compare bedding, cooking equipment, heating and bathroom arrangements. Make a packing list from the specific accommodation’s inclusions. A furnished tent and a self-contained unit can have very different practical requirements even when both are described as glamping.

Common Pembrokeshire camping questions

Does “near the beach” mean an easy walk? Check the usable path from your field or accommodation: slopes, steps and a road section can matter more than the map distance. If access is important, request specific route and facility details.

Can I bring my dog? Confirm the chosen pitch or accommodation’s policy, then check the beaches and walks you intend to use. The National Park’s walking guidance explains that some beaches have seasonal restrictions.

Can I plan a winter stay? Ask for the operating dates of the exact tent, touring or glamping area and the facilities available then. Do not infer year-round camping from a park also offering holiday homes.
