  • Peaceful site next to the River Taf in rural Pembrokeshire
  • Close to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and the Preseli Hills
  • Woodland walks, small farm park and modern heated amenities block
Pembrokeshire’s perhaps most famed for its stunning coastline – that’s the feature that gave it the country’s only coastal national park, after all… Inland’s definitely worth a bit of exploration too though, especially if you’ve bagged a spot at Wellstone Country Camping. A stay here is a proper rural escape – this peaceful south Wales site between Tegryn and Llanfyrnach is on the banks of the River Taf, with woodland and riverside walks around the grounds and corners where those with the appropriate licence can dangle a rod in the waters. Guests can go wild swimming in either the River Taf or local Wellstone Lake. Kites and kingfishers are among the natural residents you may spot as you wander around the place, and there’s a little farm park where you can hang out with furry friends including rabbits, goats and chickens. This is a wifi-free site, so you’ll need to step away from the gadgets and find more traditional entertainment. Free-roaming kids and dogs (and grownups too, of course) have plenty of space for games, barbecues and campfires, and there are heaps of family-friendly days out nearby (beaches, horse riding, theme parks, a waterpark – the list goes on…) Facilities on site are fairly basic but well kept, including a modern and heated toilet and shower block, and a washing-up area. A couple of pubs are within a few minutes’ drive if you fancy having dinner cooked for you.

Liked: Cute, small campsite in beautiful surroundings. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Wow! Wow! Wow! This place is a hidden gem! Something from a fairytale... The sound of the river, beautiful wildlife! On arrival we was amazed by how beautiful this location was! Lovely walks, lake, river, wild swimming was lush!.. Firepits available & firewood, clean facilities with powerful hot showers. We enjoyed it that much we asked to stay another night. It is very rural, country lanes, no phone signal but we would definitely pick this place everytime!! Friendly owner & cleaners. Thank you for a magical stay!!

Disliked: No phone signal, but we enjoyed being without our phone!

Local attractions

Between the site and the coast (about a 15-minute drive) are the Preseli Hills, a fab area for a walk, mountain bike ride or a horse/pony trek organised by one of the local stables. It’s also an intriguing area on a historic front, for there are many ancient spots around the area: Castell Henllys Iron Age site and the Pentre Ifan Bronze Age burial chamber are both about 25 minutes away. If you do fancy heading for the coast, there are splendid beaches in all directions – head north to Newport Sands or south to Pendine, both about half an hour away. For coastal activities, take a long walk on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path or head to Cardigan (25 minutes) for coasteering, kayaking, rafting and the like. The town's Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park is worth a look for sightings of seals and dolphins. This is a fab area for family-oriented days out too: Oakwood Theme Park, Blue Lagoon waterpark and Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo are all within a 40-minute drive.
