The Best Campsites in Pembrokeshire: 15 Top-Rated Sites

Pembrokeshire is one of the finest camping counties in Britain: a coast path that runs for 186 miles past sandy bays and seabird cliffs, small harbour villages, and farm campsites where the sea is never far away. We list over 350 campsites across the county, including more than 100 that welcome dogs and over 100 with glamping. These 15 are among the best rated, grouped by the kind of trip they suit.

Camping in Pembrokeshire: which stretch of coast?

Most of Pembrokeshire's coastline is protected as a national park, and each part has a different feel. The south, around Tenby, Saundersfoot and Stackpole, has the busiest beaches and the most family facilities. The west, around St Davids, Dale and the Marloes peninsula, is wilder, with boat trips to Skomer for puffins in early summer. The north coast around Newport and Fishguard is quieter again, and inland the Preseli Hills, source of some of the Stonehenge bluestones, offer open walking away from the crowds.

Practical tips for camping in Pembrokeshire

Book ahead for summer. Coastal sites near Tenby and St Davids fill early for the school holidays. May, June and September are quieter.

Expect the wind. Clifftop and headland pitches are exposed to Atlantic weather. Bring extra pegs and storm guys, and pick a sheltered spot if gales are forecast.

Plan wildlife trips early. Boat trips to the islands depend on the weather and sell out in peak season. Our wildlife and nature staycations guide has more ideas, and dog-friendly staycations covers travelling with a dog.
