The 9 Best Camping Sites in Wales

The county of Pembrokeshire has the sea surrounding the shores on three sides, making it a haven for exciting water sports, breathtaking coastal walks, and the freshest seafood.

It has a wild and incredibly beautiful landscape, and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, is a great way to take in some of the most incredible scenery in Britain. The path hugs the coastline for 186 miles, visiting coves and harbours, over 50 incredible beaches, and through vibrant towns and villages. And the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is one of Wales's best kept secrets, and is the UK's only truly coastal National Park.

Away from the coast, Pembrokeshire is a great location for family holidays, with an endless choice of adventure parks, historical sites, boat trips and many other exciting attractions and events. So if you’re looking for a fun family holiday, here are some of the best campsites in Pembrokeshire.
