  • A half-hour drive to Broad Haven and 40 minutes to Tenby
  • Café and shop; watersports, bike hire, fishing and woodland walks
Picked Pembrokeshire as your destination because of the scenery? You’ll be able to soak it up at all hours when staying at Llys-y-frân Lakeview Campsite – this family-friendly site is on the banks of Llys-y-frân Reservoir, with fabulous watery views (at their best at sunset, thanks to the site’s west-facing location). You may well want to spend a fair amount of time simply looking out over the lake while you’re here – perhaps from a table at the Lakeside Café, which serves up hot drinks and sweet treats as well as a lunchtime menu of hot food showcasing top-notch local produce. Alternatively, bring your fishing kit and settle in for a relaxed day trying to catch trout from the lakeshore or one of the electric boats. Got something more energetic in mind? You’ll be sorted too, as the terraced site slopes down to an activity centre where you can book kayaking, canoeing and paddleboarding sessions or hire bikes to hit the lakeside path or mountain bike trails. For other land-based activities, have a go at archery or channel your inner Celt with some axe throwing. For the younger adventurers, there are off-road six-wheeler ‘Crazi Bugz’ vehicles to drive, a climbing wall and an adventure playground. For something slower-paced, try woodland walks from the site, or set out a feast at one of the picnic spots. Dogs are also catered for with an agility playground. Practical facilities include hot showers, toilets in the activity centre, chemical disposal point, a washing-up area, a gift shop and wifi in the visitor centre. The village of Rosebush (10 minutes’ drive) is home to a characterful pub offering a traditional Welsh experience.

What customers say

This campsite gets rave reviews for its scenic setting, up-to-date amenities, and super-friendly staff. Families love the on-site fun like bike trails and playgrounds. While mostly peaceful, some note noise and strict quiet hours. A few downsides: the shop has limited items, and pitches can get muddy.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked Fantastic holiday, campsite was clean, with all necessary facilities within easy reach. The staff were polite, always available and extremely helpful.
My daughter enjoyed cycling on the cycle track and around the lake with the various cycle paths. We enjoyed a trip in a canoe on the lake and several hours in the park.
The shop was well stocked with essential items and lovely gifts. The cafe was a big hit from breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea and cake.

Simon L.

Powered cement/asphalt campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked The friendliness of the staff is the stand out feature of this campsite. From the reception staff, warden, cafe staff and most notably the activity centre staff. Everyone is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.
The reservoir is beautiful and there is such an array of activities to enjoy for all ages. We hired the recreational boat which was so much fun and very relaxing on one of the hottest days of the year.
Pitches are moderately sized so we were unable to fit our outdoor shelter as well as our VW van and awning but luckily we didn't need it as the weather was perfect.
The views are awesome especially at sunset.
We saw peregrine falcons, herons, bats, buzzards, water vowels (on our pitch, they were so cute) geese, swallows and much more.
It's a very calm, relaxing site which suits those who enjoy outdoor pursuits including mountain biking, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, walking etc.

Disliked None! There was limited to no WiFi which for us was great as it helped reconnect as a family and just enjoy the location and occasion.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked Great pitches. Lovely clean site. Showers were great. We were staying with two kids under 5 so appreciated the strict quiet times. Playground is excellent for the kids. Bike park also very good with different routes for different abilities.

Disliked Not being able to have the car at the pitch. Only a slight inconvenience - won’t stop us from coming back!
Breakfast at the cafe wasn’t great.

From the manager: Thank you. Glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We look forward to seeing you again.

Will definitely be staying again.

Liked It was exactly what we wanted peaceful walks, quiet countryside and water where the dog had a dip. The site was clean and tidy with all the facilities you needed. Just the place for a relaxing wind down from the Hussle and bustle of everyday life.

Mary P.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (disabled friendly)

Liked The views, the disabled shower and toilet facilities. Cleanliness of the whole area, cafe, helpful staff who smiled all the time and we liked that it was quiet at night.

Disliked Unfortunately the other able campers constantly used the disabled toilets allowing their children to do so whichmade the floor very muddy and not so pleasant to use.

Recommend to friends Visit again

We will be back to this gem of a campsite it had plenty to do.

Local attractions

There’s a lot to do on site, for sure – but there’s also plenty to keep you busy when venturing out into your surroundings. The Pembrokeshire coast, for example, is less than half an hour’s drive away, for beach days in the likes of Broad Haven (half an hour’s drive), the ever-popular Tenby or its neighbour Saundersfoot (both 40 minutes). Pembrokeshire’s packed with historic places to visit too, including the lovely little city of St Davids (40 minutes), with its ancient cathedral and Bishops’ Palace. Carew Castle & Tidal Mill (35 minutes) is also worth a visit, to hear the tale of the castle’s 2000-year history and see the only restored tidal mill in Wales. If that’s not the kind of thing your kids are keen on, perhaps instead plan trips to the Pembrokeshire Llama Sanctuary (15 minutes), Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (half an hour) or the action-packed Heatherton World of Activities (35 minutes) for things like paintballing, ziplines and crazy golf.
