Upper Scolton Camping is a small campsite situated in central Pembrokeshire about a mile from the small village of Spittal. The campsite is part of a working farm, with spacious grounds that included a fenced-off pond area and a paddock with far-reaching rural views. The large pitches all come with a camp hut, which includes a well-equipped camp kitchen (with a two-ring hob and coolbox), a private shower and a composting toilet. Outside, there is also a picnic bench and firepit with a grill for each pitch. A parking area adjoining the camping field allows guests to move cars after unloading to leave the field safe and peaceful for all. Up at the farmyard, there are also shared facilities like fridges and freezers, as well as plugs for charging phones. In addition, a small shop is on offer where you can pick up firewood and other essentials for your stay. The farm operates 365 days a year with its 300 dairy cows and flock of Texel sheep. The owners are passionate about farming, wildlife and the environment, but because farms are busy places with machinery and large vehicles, visits to see the animals and the milking parlour are by appointment.

Foxglove electric optional grass pitch (private bathroom amenities)

Liked: Kitchen which had everything you needed, fantastic when your camping, shower was nice and hot,clean. Beautiful scenery,free use of fridge and ice blocks.
The owners mum was a lovely lady,went out of her way to welcome us.
We were very lucky and had the whole site to ourselves,so very peaceful.

Disliked: We didn't dislike the compost toilet, but there was no mention of a step you had to stand on first to get onto the toilet,it was fine for myself and my husband,but my daughter has slight mobility issues as she has additional needs,but after a few days she got the hang of it. Just a mention for anyone who has mobility issues about the toilet step.
