About the site


Located in Whitesands Bay, close to the beach and 2 minutes from St Davids. Escape the hustle and bustle of every day life and unwind in this idyllic location, just a ten minute stroll from Whitesands Beach, where you can enjoy surfing, kayaking and windsurfing. Explore the beautiful Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, enjoy super spacious pitches and visit the charming St Davids Cathedral. The site features just 22 spacious grass pitches, with 11 including a 10 amp electric hook up. The hideaway pitches are secluded, offering privacy from other campers, while the meadow pitches are more open but still spread out, allowing plenty of room to relax and enjoy your stay. Campers are welcome on all pitches, with some also suitable for trailer tents, campervans and motorhomes. Awnings, gazebos and pup tents are welcome free of charge. Guests are welcome to drive to their pitch to unload and pack up camp, but cars must be parked in the designated parking areas to help protect the flora and fauna. All pitches have a designated shelf in a communal fridge and are complete with a picnic table and fire pit, perfect for an evening of al fresco dining! Guests can purchase logs, charcoal and fire lighters from the site. Please note, as this is a Greener Camping Club, guests will need to be members. Open fires are permitted in the designated raised fire pits. BBQs are also permitted but please make sure they are raised off the ground, and disposable BBQs are not allowed.
