About Top of the Woods

With 27 acres of nature, this is a sustainable, low density site providing camping and glamping and is dedicated to increasing biodiversity and new habitats and offering wild spaces for their guests. An easy drive of 15-20 mins to beaches (with the nearest being Poppit Sands and National Trust beach, Mwnt) and the gorgeous Preseli Hills and coastline of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the site is surrounded by the Ffynone Woodlands. With a delightful boutique feel, you can take it slow, relax and reconnect with the great outdoors. Friendly and welcoming hosts will give you a site tour and are always on hand to help, with local insight into the best things to see and do in Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire. Top of the Woods hosts a variety of onsite activities (including foraging and yoga), events (such as their Wild Gin Weekend) and delicious seasonal food options, guaranteed to make your holiday experience something special. You can get back to nature in the camping meadow, with four acres of "pitch where you want" wildflower meadow to sun yourself in the company of buzzing bees and fluttering butterflies. Or, park up in their two exclusive campervan pitches providing plenty of space for one campervan plus gazebo/awnings, or two if you are coming with friends or family. If putting up a tent doesn't tickle your fancy, you can also book a stay in one of the stylish, luxurious, eco friendly glamping accommodations. All have private cooking facilities, fire pits/BBQs, luxury feather bedding, and a basket of firewood and heating included! The Pioneer camps are perfect for adventurous families and friends, who want to discover their frontier spirits! Each sleeps up to four on a king size and two single suspended beds in two bedroom compartments. The spacious tents also have a frontier wood burning stove, campaign chairs and plenty of space for your luggage. Outside you will find the iconic Pioneer waggon covered camp kitchen and campfire area. The splendid views might tempt you into one of the nature domes, fully furnished with one king size and two single proper wood framed beds, indoor dining table and chairs and a toasty wood burning stove. Step outside into bespoke ensuite galley camp kitchen and enjoy the birdsong with your morning coffee! The huge eco-boutique safari lodges sleep up to six on a king size, two singles and two sofa beds. With their own private toilet and showers, and a heating stove to keep you cosy at night. Inside your tent you will find an open plan living space with fully equipped kitchen and dining area. Outside you can soak up the views from your own veranda, sit around the campfire or totally relax in your narrowboat hammock.

The site is open from the 28th March to 14th April for glamping and then again from 2nd May to 30th September for camping and glamping.

A note from the site themselves...

We always had a dream of creating a nature-led campsite in beautiful Pembrokeshire and becoming the best-loved campsite in Wales!

As your hosts, both Jon and I wanted to give our guests the most amazing stay. We also wanted to protect nature, our environment, and the wildlife on our doorstep. We wanted to help it thrive, with new richer habitat.

We never take the beauty of our 27-acre site for granted and see ourselves as guardians for generations to come. One of the things we have done is planted 3,500 native trees and created a new woodland at Top of the Woods, with the help of our amazing guests. We hope to welcome you soon, Soo

Small Tent - Non Electric Meadow Camping PitchesJul 2024

Very lovely place on a converted farm. Has lots of fun activities to try out onsite and is situated in a very lovely part of the country, with lots of nature and wild space to explore. The owners (Soo and John) were always ready to help out when needed and gave a very warm welcome and goodbye. I would highly recommend and will come back to stay.

Safari Tent - Eco Boutique Safari LodgesJun 2023

Went for a few days glamping- very welcoming host who greeted us. Tent was gorgeous and well equipped with everything you need including linen and bedding (bring your own towels). Everything absolutely spotless and well-maintained. Lots of games for the kids and space to run around and play. Nearest shop is a short drive away, but need to go a fair distance to get a bigger shop with everything you need. Went horse riding nearby with the team listed on their website, who were wonderful and very reasonably priced. Beautiful Newport nearby and lovely beaches. Altogether a really enjoyable holiday and I would highly recommend the site (but stock up on food on the way!).

Site's response

Thank you for your stay & review, Alex. And yes, we are in a bit of a remote location so the convenience of shops is a little further away :-) It has also taken me a bit to get used to this when I came from the city, with 24-hour shops on my doorstep. The village shop though does cover most of your camping needs & the supermarket is in Cardigan, which is in the closest town (7 country miles away) - we would love to see you all again!
