Private vehicle access is available to porthsele beach

Family-run site situated on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path
Direct access to Porthsele beach; a mile from Whitesands
Farm shop, coffee hut, bar and pizzas available in high season

Fancy a stay on a family-run farm… with direct access to a beach below? Make your way to Pencarnan Farm Caravan and Camping Site, a 96-acre farm overlooking Porthsele beach on the Pembrokeshire coast. The site is on the most western tip of Pembrokeshire, with views of St Georges Channel connecting the Irish and Celtic seas. You'll be in good company with a stay here: generations of the same family have been running the site since the mid-1950s, a holiday spot for guests who return year after year – some with their kids and grandkids now in tow. This place is just the ticket for outdoor adventures too, as it's set directly above Porthsele beach (with private vehicle access so you can cart all your kit along with you). The sea and bay are safe for swimming and kayaking, and there are plenty of rockpools to explore at low tide. If you haven’t got your fill of sea breeze, surfing beach Whitesands is a one-mile walk along the coastal path or, if you’re feeling adventurous, a half-mile swim or kayak from Porthsele. Sorting supplies is easy at the farm too: in the high season, a site shop is on hand with camping and food supplies, wetsuits and logs for beach fires, and a coffee hut opens every day. A bar and pizzas are also available at peak times.

Beach Field primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: I stayed in the Beach Field, it was very quiet with fabulous views of the sea. Perfect location for hiking the coastal path. Very clean facilities with lovely hot showers. Wi-Fi available in The Courtyard. On arrival I discovered my tent poles had broken, I visited the shop with the hope they may have some tents for sale, they didn't, but they very kindly let me borrow one for the duration of my stay; fantastic customer service!

Disliked: Nothing!

3-amp Ramsey Island Field powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: A beautiful site with stunning scenery. A view of Ramsey Island as we sat out side our van. A lovely little beach only a stone’s throw from where we camped. The amenities were good. Nice showers very, clean. Some nice touches with lit mirrors and a few toiletries left to share. The site has a general shop, bar( weekends ?) pizza stall and a coffee shop with nice cakes. The Pembrokeshire Coastal
Path stretches out either side of the camp site. Simply stunning !

Disliked: If only the camp site could guarantee the weather💦💨🌧️🌬️☔️You can’t have everything 🤣

16-amp Ramsey Island Field powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: We visited a few sites on our Pembrokshire van trip and this was a firm favourite by miles. The views from every part of the sight were stunning, with a nearby beach to visit and direct access to the coastal path we were spoilt for choice. The facilities were 10/10 clean hot showers with little added extras in the ladies, a courtyard where we enjoyed an evening beer and pizza and a coffee in the morning was a lovely touch. We can't wait to return!

Disliked: Nothing, it was all great.

Liked: It was a fab site with brilliant views and great access to a small beach! Some great walks nearby and accessible to walk to St David’s or by getting a bus to the centre. The pizzas and bar area were so good and would recommend eating here one night. The facilities were clean and well looked after!

Local attractions

This is heaven for beach buffs: Porthsele and Whitesands beaches are both within walking distance of Pencarnan. At Porthsele, take your pick from kayaking, surfing and paddleboarding from its sandy shore; if fishing's more your bag you can fish for mackerel, pollock and seabass from the beach and from certain points on the cliff around Pencarnan's land. There are also a few marked climbing spots around the cliffs on the land and some good entry points for coasteering or a coastal swim back to Porthsele beach… followed back at base with a sunset beach fire or barbecue to end the day. The famed surfing centre of Whitesands, a mile away on the coast path from Pencarnan, has a café, deckchairs and wetsuit hire, plus lifeguards in the summer months. Heading south, St Justinian’s (under a mile away along the coast path) is home to RNLI St Davids Lifeboat Station and a departure point for boat trips around, onto and beyond Ramsey Island to spy seals, seabirds, porpoises, whales, dolphins and sharks. Make time too for a trip to the tiny city of St Davids, to browse its shops and galleries and take a look at sixth-century St Davids Cathedral.
