  • Dog-friendly farm site minutes away from Burry Port beach and harbour
  • A 10-minute drive from Pembrey Country Park; golf course nearby
  • Footpath access on site; farm shop, cafés and restaurants nearby
You may have rural roots on the dog-friendly farm site of Penllwyn Isaf Farm Campsite, but that doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice sand between your toes – not at all. The beach at Burry Port is only five minutes’ drive away. Kick off your shoes and sit back on the farm, soaking up the views of the Carmarthenshire coast or watching the dairy cows on their daily commute to get milked. Penllwyn Isaf Farm Campsite caters to families, couples and small groups, but there are no hen or stag parties allowed and no noise after 10pm to make for a peaceful stay for all. There’s a footpath that runs through the site that will take you down into the village of Pembrey in five minutes. Once there, get right to the action by joining a cycling track towards the Millennium Coastal Path. Of course, Burry Port’s harbour and sandy beach may take up a fair bit of your attention too. Watersports are on a roll there, and there are boating and cafés for a bite to eat afterwards. More on the food situation: there are a great deal of good eats to choose from around here, including a farm shop 10 minutes’ drive away for those more substantial bits, a neighbourhood restaurant 25 minutes’ walk away in Pembrey or a fish and chip shop down by the harbour. Other popular picks include a steakhouse 10 minutes’ drive away in Llanelli and a hotel restaurant alongside a golf course, five minutes’ drive away. The site also has a communal firepit where you’re welcome to cook too - or bring your own firepit bits along.

Spectacular views & tranquil vibes praised. Great value, friendly owners, free fire logs & neat bins. Hot showers are tops! Pitches generally good. A few found facilities a bit far or limited when busy.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked It was a lovely site, great views and sunsets, friendly, simple and not far from lots of amazing places. We camped below the hill to avoid the wind but the views from the top are spectacular.

Disliked The bathrooms were cleaned regularly but it was kind of unavoidable for people to go in with dusty shoes so that sometimes left the floor muddy.

Liked Would stay again! Incredible views and very well located. Bin bags provided. All the good bits of camping – dogs, campfire etc allowed. Pretty spacious and friendly, welcoming owners. A separate toilet on the lower level would make this 10/10.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Amazing place to stay with the most lovely views. Owners were very helpful when we wanted a fire pit and wood, also suggested places to visit whilst there with our 3 year old. Will definitely go back.

Disliked Shower facilities could have been better by having more as had to wait a while some mornings or when my toddler needed the toilet.

Wonderful break from the usual grind!

Local attractions

Sharpen up your swing at the local golf course (five minutes’ drive). Those more skilled in the art of horse-riding – or at least, keen to give it a good go - can take on a trek from the Pembrey Park Riding Centre (five minutes). Mount a bicycle instead at Pembrey Country Park (10 minutes). There’s a dry ski slope, a beach and gorgeous paths around the park - what a mix. The nearby Pembrey Circuit (10 minutes) will add a dose of more adrenaline, with racing events and driving experiences. Ffos Las Racecourse (10 minutes) has further racing and live music events too. Get into bargain-hunting mode at Trostre Retail Park (20 minutes) if you wish. You might cop a new outfit for the several family-friendly attractions within driving distance of the site. Manor Wildlife Park (55 minutes) has tigers, wallabies and lemurs. Dinosaur Park (an hour) is all about Jurassic beasts instead, with a dinosaur trail, rides and dinosaur-themed activities. Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (50 minutes) mixes together animal activities with a fairground.
