A super-friendly, family-run campsite on the edge of Pembroke

For camping and glamping that’s a short walk from the amenities of town and a short drive from Pembrokeshire’s loveliest beaches, set the sat nav for Glan Y Mor Camping. It’s an excellent location in West Wales and, on top of that, the site has plenty of charm. It’s friendly, family-run, and located on a farm. A warm welcome is included as standard, facilities are clean and lovely, and extras are simple but sensible ways to enhance your stay. Think campfire kits for the evening, breakfast muffins for the morning. This feels like a campsite that’s run by campers – right down to small details like the classical music that’s piped into the washrooms to make a soothing soundtrack to your ablutions.

The main camping field is a grassy couple of acres that’s kept car free. It does mean you have to wheelbarrow your kit to your pitch – but that’s all part of the fun. It also means it’s a safe space for kids to run around in and there’s a private beech woodland that’s good for that too. The Bunker, a converted Cold War-era trailer from the Czech Republic, is the most fun of a handful of glamping options that are available on site. You’re welcome to bring your own campervan here too. If you do, you’ll be pointed to one of the hard-standing pitches which are closer to neighbouring buildings. It’s a less pretty backdrop than the field, but there’s still plenty of greenery and you are welcome to wander the woodland and use the other site facilities, which include a campers’ kitchen and communal fire pit.

The signs of civilisation around the edge of the campsite remind you of how close you are to Pembroke. You can walk into the centre to explore the castle, go for a coffee or visit the local pub. The town makes for a great base; a 20-minute drive to Tenby and only 15 minutes from the coast where beaches include Barafundle Bay. It’s been recognised not only as one of the best beaches in Pembrokeshire or even in Wales but one of the best in the world. Like the rest of this part of West Wales, that’s got to be worth a look.

Fantastic place to camp

Honestly when I first arrived at this campsite , entering through the school road, thought to myself Lord have mercy, but on arrival we were greeted and made to feel highly welcome, our host’s father came to ensure we were comfortable and happy with our pitch, which was very clean, green short well groomed grass , The facilities were more than 5 stars rating, toilets were very roomy and clean, no smells around, communal area provided with fridge and free phone charging stations. Come night it was so quiet and peaceful to sleep, morning you’re greeted by singing birds, even other campers seem to be at peace with everything there, so friendlier and happy. I wished I could have stayed more, the lovely host lady cared to come see us off and wished us a safe journey. I would recommend to anyone to visit and I wish to visit there time after time .

For me and my boyfriend’s first ever camping trip together, this camp site was beyond my expectations. Fabulous location and a safe, clean space for us. Plus the showers were better than most hotels I’ve been to!!!!

A nice tidy site. There is a small circular walk through the woods. The facilities are good, with a communal area. The site itself is close to the town centre and in a good location.

The bunker

Perfect weekend

Can’t fault this campsite. Second time visiting with friends and family and it was perfect. Lots of space, quiet in the evenings and just a perfect little camp in a beautiful location that’s only a short walk into town. Love the little things left for us such as dish soap, fire wood, candles and all the stuff we needed to cook. Hosts are always super friendly, polite and happy to help! Always a pleasure visiting! Look forward to our next stay! ☺️

The bunker

A warm and lovely welcome! We stayed in the bunker, and just like the pods it has its own seating area outside. There were lights, there was cozyness, there was nature, all in walking distance of Pembroke. Special detail: in the lavatory and shower block, there was always music (classic fm), a very nice touch. And the littles vases with flowers and welcoming words from Catherine made it clear that this is a place where the hosts care about the well being of their guests.

Great time in camping in Pembroke.

The Hosts was fantastic. The campsite was just what we needed and had a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. It was peaceful and central. So we could travel to all the local sites, Pembroke and its castle, St David’s and its Cathedral, the many beach and course Tenby wonderful Tenby and Caldey Island. The campsite facilities were extremely good and the piped classical music in the toilets and showers was a good touch. The kitchen with its electrical points was a big help. While the local walks on site and beyond we loved.

From the host

Glan Y Mor is a small family run farm in Pembrokeshire with a beautiful woodland campsite overlooking the Pembroke river estuary with views towards Pembroke Castle. We are ideally located close to local amenities, cafes and restaurants but also amazingly secluded and private. We offer an environmentally friendly and well maintained site with careful attention to detail.

Nearby attractions

Glan Y Mor Camping is on the edge of the town of Pembroke with the town’s amenities and attractions within walking distance. There’s the high street, the 11th-century castle where Henry VII was born, the museum, the rowing boats and the mill pond. For a longer walk, join the Pembrokeshire Coast Path near the castle and carry on in either direction. The closest beaches are good ones: Freshwater East (five miles) on the south coast and Freshwater West (nine miles) which is good for surfing with beautiful Barafundle Bay (six miles) in between. The pretty harbour town of Tenby is 10 miles from site and there are plenty of family-friendly attractions close enough to visit too. These include Manor Wildlife Park (eight miles) and Folly Farm (12 miles).

Food and drink

There are lots of good places to eat and drink near Glan Y Mor Camping and your hosts Catherine and Adam have plenty of recommendations, many of which are written up on blackboards around the facilities block. For breakfasts on weekends in peak season, however, you don’t have to go anywhere. A choice of breakfast muffins are served on site – just order yours the night before and you can pick up from the camper’s kitchen in the morning. Alternatively, try Cafe Rose on Pembroke’s Main Street. For dinner The Old King’s Arms in the centre of town is the recommended pub to head for and is just a short distance away from the castle. The Waterman’s Arms is another nice spot in Pembroke, with views across the mill pond. For fish and chips, there’s Rowlies. Further afield, The Stackpole Inn (six miles) is highly recommended for food. If you want to stock up on supplies for campsite cooking, there are plenty of shops in Pembroke too including Mott’s Butchers for all your barbecue needs.
