  • Simple pitches on a 29-acre family farm overlooking St Brides Bay
  • A 10-minute drive to Newgale beach; 25 minutes to St Davids
  • Walk to dog-friendly Druidston Haven beach in 15 minutes
Even in a region as blessed with fabulous views as Pembrokeshire, Shortlands Farm stands out – the Ledwith family’s 29-acre farm looks out over St Brides Bay, and camping guests have sea views from every pitch on site. This splendid spot is just a few minutes’ walk from Druidston Haven beach, one of the quieter parts of the Pembrokeshire coastline with sandy stretches, rockpools and soaring cliffs to take in (and it welcomes dogs all year round – good news if you've got a hound that needs a holiday). The Pembrokeshire Coast Path passes by too, so you can take a stroll to other places like Broad Haven and Little Haven for more beaches and some seafront places to eat. The pitches are generously spaced around the edge of the field, so you’ll have plenty of space to spread out and set up your barbecue or firepit for an evening grill while you watch the sunset over the sea. Dogs are welcome to join in the fun, as are families – there’s lots of space set aside for kids (and adults…) to play in the field. For practicalities like supermarket shopping you may like to head into Haverfordwest (10 minutes’ drive), or you could walk to the local farm shop at Nolton Cross for foodie supplies (15 minutes).

Emma V.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked The beach is lovely

Disliked Very windy as very close to the sea had to cut our stay short. States no electric hook ups on line and clearly only 2 vehicles pitched on the electric hook up so was available. Showed and toilets unisex didn’t really like going to the toilet and shower on that environment no staff onsite just all internet based anyone could pitch up at anytime

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I'm sorry you experienced wind during your stay but the trade-off when you come for the sea view is that you are exposed to possible weather.
The electric hook-ups were sadly not available during your stay. It may have looked like there were pitches available but I assure you there were not.
And lastly, we make it very clear that the toilets/shower block is a mixed facility so I'm not sure there's much we could have done to improve things for you.

Lewis J.

Powered grass tent or RV campsite

Liked A fantastic site, we stayed in oyster catcher. Would visit again in the future. a wonderful part of the world. the local beach and bar/hotel was fantastic and all within walking distance.

Disliked The mixed toilets and showers. Haven't seen this on a site before, Wife and daughter were not overly keen on this arrangement.

Would be better with individual facilities.

There are also only 3 toilets and 3 showers. When we visited the site looked half empty and still had to queue to go to the loo and shower.

Local attractions

Pembrokeshire’s perhaps most well known for its stunning coastline (there’s a good reason why it’s home to the UK’s only national park dedicated entirely to coastal landscapes…) A good place for Shortlands Farm guests to start is Newgale beach (10 minutes’ drive) – it’s got great waves for surfers (plus kit hire and lessons) but it’s also a great place for a stroll or paddle. Stop by too at Broad Haven (10 minutes) and the pretty harbour at Solva (20 minutes) en route to St Davids (25 minutes). The UK’s smallest city has some lovely shops and cafés to visit between tours of the cathedral and Bishop’s Palace, and it’s also the launch point for boat trips to Ramsey Island to see sea birds and seals. If the kids need something different from scenery chasing, try Dr Beynon’s Bug Farm (25 minutes), thrill rides at Oakwood Theme Park (half an hour) or animal encounters at Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (35 minutes).
