About Birtwick Park Certificated Site

Birtwick Park is a flat and level campsite situated on a working equestrian smallholding just outside the pretty village of Solva. Britain's smallest city of St Davids is close by (15 minutes) featuring the spectacular cathedral and Bishops Palace and Newgale's (10 minutes) magnificent sandy beach, popular with surfers and families alike is also nearby. The campsite is surrounded by beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside with glorious views towards the coast and enjoys the peace and tranquility of being set back from the main road, whilst remaining easily accessible for all vehicles. Livery for horses is available onsite and riders are able to take advantage of superb hacking to the beach and aerodrome. Wildlife has been encouraged to return to the land and a family of barn owls are regular visitors, hunting the paddock adjacent to the camping field. Well behaved pets are welcome.

Birtwick Park Certificated Site is open from 29/03 to 29/09.

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass and Hardstanding PitchesSep 2024

A lovely site, I never saw the owner but they were available if needed! Very well kept. Just a few points, a stool in the shower if needed and I couldn't find water tap for ages (could do with sign saying drinking water!). A lovely view and very quiet, I would definitely stay again.

All round great campsite!

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchSep 2024

A great campsite! It was on the smaller side which we enjoyed. Overall it was very peaceful, especially with the horses on the next field and the occasional cat in the yard. The facilities were all clean and tidy. The family who own the farm were friendly and welcoming too. It's within walking distance to Solva, a quick drive to ST David's and close to beaches and the coastal path. It's in a fab location for both trips to the towns and getting out into nature. Really great value for money, I would absolutely recommend this campsite

Love it
