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: It's a stunning and serene place to stay. The landscaping has been well thought out. The pitches are excellent. The shower facilities are spotless and have constant running water ........ seasoned campers will know that is a rarity. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to our next visit 😀

I didn't take picture because they don't do the site justice ........ although a bride and groom arrived in a horse drawn carriage to have photos taken ....... speaks volumes

Phil Y. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric hardstanding campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Location and facilities.

Disliked: Kids playing ball sports on unoccupied pitches.
Sign written commercial vehicles on site.
Vehicles being parked next to caravans and tents, not adhering to the 6m rules.
Items being thrown for dogs to retrieve in the direction of unoccupied pitches.
Children arriving back on site, laden with trout, caught on spinners. (Did they even buy a fishing ticket, as they obviously didn't read the rules ?)
I had a breakfast which was really nice, but surely a pot of tea would constitute two tea bags compared to a cup that would include one? Not everyone likes weak tea!
As someone that abides by rules, that I presume you stipulate for a reason, it doesn't sit well with me.
If there's no catch return, and no one checking who's fishing and whether they have a permit, then who knows what the stock levels are?
I hope you find my reply useful?

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The location is fantastic, DCWW have done a great job of turning an important water resource into a tourist destination. The campsite was clean, pitches were generous in size.

Disliked: Slightly narrow to get a tourer in if you haven’t got a motor mover (or someone to guide you in).

Non-electric hardstanding campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Scenery, pitches, facilities good. Make sure you bring everything with you for your stay as only small fridge selling few items.
Cafe onsite but food very average.

Disliked: Ball games played on empty pitches as no area close by for football. Every child had a ball, including our grandson.
Not able to kayak due to sailing race but not advertised so we were unaware until we arrived at site, grandson disappointed.

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.
