  • Family-friendly site with views over Llys-y-frân Reservoir
  • A half-hour drive to Broad Haven and 40 minutes to Tenby
  • Café and shop; watersports, bike hire, fishing and woodland walks
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.

What customers say

Great spot, clean facilities, super friendly staff. Lots to do for families, especially bike tracks. Can get a bit noisy though, and watch out for muddy spots when it's wet. Shop's a bit basic.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked We had a fantastic stay at Llys-y-fran Lakeview campsite. Really friendly staff around the site, always took the time to say hello. A special mention to the camp warden, she was so helpful on check in and even allowed us to change our allocated pitch to one of our choice. (thank you so much)
The facilities are great, toilets, showers and washing up are all really close to the camping field. Site well lit at night. We had great fun on the Bike trails and enjoyed walking the lake. The on site café in the visitors centre served food all day and even boxed us up a meal for our tea to take away to our tent.
Thank you all for great stay!

Liked Such a beautiful place to stay. Bike tracks and walks are great to keep little ones busy!
Clean site, peaceful and very relaxing!
Didn’t do any activities but everything looked fun!

Disliked It is on the pricey side for camping and would have been great if there was some kind of takeaway/food van available in the evenings!

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Helpful staff, nice cafe, good play area. Great for walks/runs/cycling. Would be awesome if we brought our own paddle board to save money.

Disliked Hedges/trees in between pitches need to grow as the pitches are close together. Could do with a few more showers and space to brush teeth.

Joanna E.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Lovely view of the lake from the campsite. Great to be so close to the activities, pump track and park. We didn’t leave the area for three nights. No need! Clean campsite. Friendly and helpful staff. Reasonable prices for the activities too. Perfect family adventure holiday.

Disliked The lack of etiquette at the site with people constantly walking across our pitch to get to the toilet instead of walking around on the path. We were amazed at the amount of campers who thought this was acceptable even when we were sitting outside!!
Slightly strange set up with the toilets and changing rooms in that they seem to be designed for the activity centre and then left open for the campers all night. Not really a dislike but weird if you aren’t expecting it!
And only two sinks for washing dishes meant there was frequently a queue for washing up!!
Would be good for the cafe to stay open longer for something to eat in the evening. For breakfast the choice is pancakes or a breakfast bap so we think there could be a few more options, even just adding toast as an option would be amazing!! (my husband did ask if they could do egg on toast for the children and was told no).

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.
