  • Serviced campervan pitches in the grounds of a Pembrokeshire pub
  • Folly Farm three minutes' drive; 10 minutes to Tenby or Saundersfoot
  • Family-run pub with beer garden and home-cooked meals
Finding a campervan pitch in the grounds of a pub is always a good idea for ease of access to an evening meal and a drink or two at the end of the day. But it gets even better at The Begelly Arms, where you’ll get not just that but also a handy location that puts you within just a short drive of some of Pembrokeshire’s top attractions (beaches, castles and family attractions among them). This family-run pub is about half a mile from Kilgetty, in a very convenient spot close to both the A477 and A478 for easy journeys to all sorts of places – Folly Farm is pretty much just round the corner, and the beaches of Tenby, Amroth and Saundersfoot are about 10 minutes’ drive away, as are places like Carew Castle and Manor Wildlife Park. That means filling your days should be straightforward – and so should catering for your evenings, as the pub has a restaurant serving up home-cooked meals (using local seasonal produce where possible). There’s a good range of drinks, too – including an impressive range of whiskies – which you can sip in the cosy interior or out in the beer garden on sunnier days. You’ll be pitching up in the pub’s car park, which has a small number of dog-friendly hardstanding pitches with grass areas and services including water, waste and electricity. You’ll have access to the pub’s toilets during opening hours, and you can also buy breakfasts in the restaurant if you like. Dogs are welcome on site, but not inside the pub please.

What customers say

Great value stopover at this pub with level hardstanding pitches, EHU & water. Generally clean facilities with 24/7 toilet access. Friendly, helpful staff. No showers, but great for exploring Tenby/Saundersfoot. Pub serves good food. Rubbish & dog policies clear.

Catherine A.

FHU cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked The Begelly Pub was a very basic pitch, without scenic views we have grown to like on our tour of Wales. Our stay was in wet weather so we welcomed having a pub with big tables for a family game and a simple, cheap pub meal.

Disliked We disliked sharing the toilet block with the pub customers making it awkward being in your PJs or brushing teeth whilst people were enjoying their night out.

Unfortunately we had booked pub breakfast but it was cancelled

From the manager: Hi and thanks for the review, We are a very basic place with hard standing pitches, but central for buses and trains into and out of local villages

We are a CAMpRA site as a camper aire stop and do not provide showers or changing facilities. the idea of camper site is to be self sufficient and leave no trace, all we have is 24 hour access toilet facilities the majority of camper vans have facilities on board or should have ?

breakfast and evening meals.staff friendly and good facilities

Louise S.

FHU cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked Check in was quick and simple. Cameron was very helpful and friendly, showing us where to pitch and where the facilities were to be found.
The pitches are a good size and the paved parking area and astro-turf with picnic bench meant the pitches were clean to use even after a lot of rain. The services at each pitch were close and easy to use.
The buses and train are within easy walking distance of the pub in Kilgetty, with a Co-op, chemist and a few other shops.
There was nothing not to like and would definitely stay again as it is very great value for money.

Disliked nothing
