Picked Pembrokeshire as your destination because of the scenery? You’ll be able to soak it up at all hours when staying at Llys-y-frân Lakeview Campsite – this family-friendly site is on the banks of Llys-y-frân Reservoir, with fabulous watery views (at their best at sunset, thanks to the site’s west-facing location). You may well want to spend a fair amount of time simply looking out over the lake while you’re here – perhaps from a table at the Lakeside Café, which serves up hot drinks and sweet treats as well as a lunchtime menu of hot food showcasing top-notch local produce. Alternatively, bring your fishing kit and settle in for a relaxed day trying to catch trout from the lakeshore or one of the electric boats. Got something more energetic in mind? You’ll be sorted too, as the terraced site slopes down to an activity centre where you can book kayaking, canoeing and paddleboarding sessions or hire bikes to hit the lakeside path or mountain bike trails. For other land-based activities, have a go at archery or channel your inner Celt with some axe throwing. For the younger adventurers, there are off-road six-wheeler ‘Crazi Bugz’ vehicles to drive, a climbing wall and an adventure playground. For something slower-paced, try woodland walks from the site, or set out a feast at one of the picnic spots. Dogs are also catered for with an agility playground. Practical facilities include hot showers, toilets in the activity centre, chemical disposal point, a washing-up area, a gift shop and wifi in the visitor centre. The village of Rosebush (10 minutes’ drive) is home to a characterful pub offering a traditional Welsh experience.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Superb site. Generous pitches and excellent facilities.

Own EHU and water on each pitch. Very clean and tidy toilets and showers.

Perfect place to relax for a few days.

Disliked: No facility for grey waste other than to empty it by a bucket into the Elsan point. I believe this is something that they are looking to address though.

Electric hardstanding campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Loved the views and bird song in the mornings, showers were nice and hot and powerful. Facilities were spotlessly clean. Generous sized pitches each with their own water and electric hook up. Staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Disliked: Bit overpriced - higher than most campsites where you get the same facilities. It would be useful to have a sticker on the electric hook up reminding you to turn the power supply on when you have connected your plug.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Everyone involved with the site's running was amiable. We felt really welcome. Super pitch, great view of the lake.

The toilet block was heated, which was a big plus as it was September and the start of the cold wet weather. It is good to have a hot shower and plenty of room to towel dry in the warm.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are very pleased you had a good time and enjoyed the site. Look forward to seeing you again.

We had a really nice two night camp

Anonymous The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Pitches are spacious, love the raised hump that act as separators between each pitch. Facilities are clean.
The bike ramps are a brilliant extra, kept our children busy throughout the stay.
We will definitely be back.

Disliked: No Grey waste area to dispose of waste water. There is an adequate chemical waste point but no grey waste.
Would have liked a site map on arrival included in the welcome pack.
No wi fi details in welcome pack. However not always a bad thing, children didn't look at their phones all weekend.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We look forward to seeing you all again next year.
Wi-Fi is available at the visitors centre and activity centre but is not provided on the campsite.
We do advise grey waste is emptied either with chemical waste or at the bike wash area as we do not have a dedicated grey waste disposal area.
We will take onboard your suggestion of having a site map included in the welcome pack.

Excellent clean, beautiful location!

Local attractions

There’s a lot to do on site, for sure – but there’s also plenty to keep you busy when venturing out into your surroundings. The Pembrokeshire coast, for example, is less than half an hour’s drive away, for beach days in the likes of Broad Haven (half an hour’s drive), the ever-popular Tenby or its neighbour Saundersfoot (both 40 minutes). Pembrokeshire’s packed with historic places to visit too, including the lovely little city of St Davids (40 minutes), with its ancient cathedral and Bishops’ Palace. Carew Castle & Tidal Mill (35 minutes) is also worth a visit, to hear the tale of the castle’s 2000-year history and see the only restored tidal mill in Wales. If that’s not the kind of thing your kids are keen on, perhaps instead plan trips to the Pembrokeshire Llama Sanctuary (15 minutes), Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (half an hour) or the action-packed Heatherton World of Activities (35 minutes) for things like paintballing, ziplines and crazy golf.
