  • Family-run, dog-friendly site 300 metres from Llys-y-Frân Reservoir
  • A 15-minute drive to Preseli Hills; half an hour to the coast
  • Campfires allowed; watersports and cycling tracks on the lake nearby
Heading to Pembrokeshire in hunt of bays, Iron Age villages and streets lined with Georgian houses? Perhaps a peaceful place to touch down in a meadow, just 300 metres from the Llys y Frân Country Park & Reservoir? If you’d like to roll out of bed and get stuck into watersports or end your day with a wander along the lakeside, the dog-friendly family farm site at Llys-Y-Frân Meadow Campsite is a peaceful spot to lay your head down in West Wales, just outside the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Sailing, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing or open water swimming… with Llys-y-Frân Reservoir five minutes’ stroll away from the site, watersports can certainly be on the cards. Or, if you’d rather keep on dry land, the lake has a splendid seven-mile walk and 14 kilometres of bicycle tracks (including pump bike tracks). Back at base, you may want to set up a campfire, look at the stars or listen out for the wildlife around the site. With plenty of space in the meadow, children have room to stretch their legs or splash around in the stream (and well-behaved dogs on leads can join them, too). Tell the kids to keep an eye out for farmer Nigel on his rounds. Hosts Rachel and Nigel are always happy to point out cows and sheep grazing in the pastures or help you map out your way to Maenclochog (five minutes’ drive), the local traditional Welsh village with a small food shop, cosy café and village pub.

What customers say

Great family spot! Clean facilities, good play area, and ample pitches. Near Llys-y-Fran Reservoir, handy for coast trips. Owners Rachel & Nigel are welcoming. Pizza nights and charging lockers are a bonus. Some queues for loos at busy times, one loud group mentioned. Highly recommended for its friendly, family vibe.

Dawn S.

Powered grass site

Liked Peaceful
Great location
Swing,slide and football pitch for the children
Wood fired pizzas were a hit

Disliked Showers were either too hot or too cold and I was left with no water when others were washing up

Toilet disposal was not ideal due to having to reach over,undo the cap and lift your heavy waste into an ibc tank where you can see and smell everyone else’s waste

The waste tap was buried under hedge where there was a wasp issue

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Dawn, thank you for your feedback. We’re always working on little improvements around the site, and your comments are really helpful in guiding us. We are not aware that the showers have been temperamental and will explore this further. As for the waste point, we know it’s not the most glamorous job on any campsite, we will look into making some tweaks to make it easier to use.

We’re glad you came to stay with us and hope you’ll come back and enjoy the peace of the meadow, the pizzas and starlit skies l🌿✨

Family run, friendly camp site.

Liked This was our first time camping with our 3 and 6 year old boys and dog.
Facilities were very clean and more than we expected. Never any wait to use the toilets or showers. The campsite bake their own pizza’s on Friday night which were delicious! Plenty of space for the children to play and stay safe. Site owner came at least twice a day to clean facilities and check that everyone was ok. Log fire pits available to hire which was a nice touch. Only a few minutes walk into Llys y Fran itself. We really enjoyed and would definitely return.

Liked Lovely, small campsite with spotlessly clean facilities. Very peaceful location. Children loved the playground especially the swing. Pizza night was a nice and delicious surprise. Yes, there are only two showers and two toilets but we didn't have any issues with that.

Liked We absolutely loved our stay here. The welcome and hospitality was brilliant and our young children had the best time exploring and playing in the park. The location was great- we had already planned to have various day trips around the coast- from St Davids up to New Quay- so Llys-Y-Fran was perfectly placed for this. Facilities and space were great- always clean and plenty of room. A very memorable holiday, would definitely recommend and go back. No negative points to raise.

Local attractions

What to sniff out first? A hike through the Preseli Hills (15 minutes’ drive) to see the Castell Henllys Iron Age Village (25 minutes) or the National Trust’s Cilgerran Castle (35 minutes)? Perhaps the coast might be the first to call your attention. If so, the sandy stretch at Newgale beach (half an hour) is fit for surfing and kitesurfing. There are pastel-coloured Georgian houses in the harbour at Tenby (40 minutes), the dunes and church at Broad Haven beach (half an hour), the dragonflies at Lilly Ponds (50 minutes) or a splendid bay along the coastal path at Barafundle Bay Beach (50 minutes). Up north, Cardigan (half an hour) and Newport (25 minutes) have more compact beaches. And to the west, history fans will want to scout out St Davids (40 minutes) for its cathedral… or perhaps Pembrokeshire’s castles, such as Pembroke Castle (40 minutes) and Carew Castle and Tidal Mill (half an hour). Narberth (20 minutes) has all the scents of a market town… browse cheeses, meats and wines, sample artisan ice cream or sip on gin and craft ales. There are independent shops selling antiques, jewellery and homeware if you fancy a shopping spree.
