  • Small family-run site with sea views at Fishguard in Pembrokeshire
  • In Pembrokeshire Coast National Park; Preseli Hills 15 minutes’ drive
  • Private toilets and showers for each pitch; café discounts for guests
You’ll be greeted by fresh sea air and views of Dinas Head and the Preseli Hills at Glasfryn Escapes, a small family-run campsite located above Fishguard Bay in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The site is kept small and natural, with pitches mown out of long meadow grasses, and you can look forward to amazing sunsets on clear nights. The pitches are big enough for families to pitch up together, with the kids, granny and the dog all sitting around the campfire enjoying an alfresco supper after a day at the beach. There’s also space to cosy up under a blanket and under the stars with your love and a glass of wine. This is a simple site but offers a few luxuries to keep you smiling. Modern toilets and showers (one for each pitch, so there’s no sharing) provide a bit of home comfort so you can wash the salt and sand from your hair. Thoughtful amenities also include a hairdryer, washing-up area, fridge/freezer to store your perishables and charging points. Wifi is only available at reception, but best of all, camping guests get a discount on the fare at the on-site Red Onion Garden Café. The welcoming site owners are on hand to make your stay in Pembrokeshire the very best they can; they are happy to share their knowledge of the area with you.

Local attractions

First stop on any daytime perambulations of the region may be Pembrokeshire Coast National Park (direct access from the site) with stunning beaches, almost-deserted bays and spectacular cliffs. It can be explored in a host of ways: the coast path is accessed in Lower Town Fishguard (20 minutes’ walk), and there’s also a coastal bus route from Fishguard to other towns like New Quay and Aberporth along the coastline. For an up-close-and-personal experience of the Pembrokeshire region, you can try your hand at kayaking, surfing and coasteering (20 minutes’ drive) along the rugged coastline, go pony trekking (15 minutes) in the countryside or go mountain biking in the Preseli Hills (also 15 minutes). The traditional seaside town of Tenby (50 minutes) has two soft sandy beaches, and Newgale (25 minutes) a vast expanse of golden sand. Their lively vibe contrasts neatly with quiet fishing hamlets such as Porthgain (20 minutes) and secret coves along the coast (the owners will tell you all about those when you arrive at Glasfryn).
