Rhydfach Valley Camping is an informal little campsite in Pembrokeshire that’s available for exclusive hire only. So, if you book a stay, you'll have the whole place to yourselves: all seven acres of it. It sits on the edge of the Pembrokeshire National Park and is made up of field, scrub, and trees with a stream running along one side. There’s also access to a little pool that’s just right for pond dipping and wild swimming. And if the idea of that appeals, you’ll definitely like it here. There’s an even better wild swimming spot a walk away in the Preseli Hills—not to mention Pembrokeshire’s beautiful beaches, 20 minutes’ drive away.
This is a simple Hipcamp whereby your hosts, Dennis and Sue, have opened up a field behind their house. As a result there’s nothing too formal here; it’s just good old-fashioned camping. You pitch where you please (though most folk opt for the top of this gently sloping field) and can park up next to your tent. Facilities are found in a mobile home that’s positioned at the bottom of the plot where you have access to a hot water shower and a flushing loo. Outside, there’s a tap for your water supply and there’s a stone-circled fire pit in case you want a campfire.
All that separates your pitch from the site's pond is a little bridge over the stream at the top of the field. For more wild swimming, hike 20 minutes into the Preseli Hills, which rise up to the north. At Rosebush Quarry Pool you can enjoy a swim in emerald waters and, perhaps afterwards or instead, warm up with lunch at the nearby Tafarn Sinc. Alternatively, head for watersports and walking at nearby reservoir, Llys-y-frân, or take your pick from the beaches that line the Pembrokeshire coast.
Please note we only accept one booking for any given period, so you will not be sharing the site with any other campers. Payment is per person and guests are welcome to pitch more than one tent.
Rhydfach valley camping is located in a peaceful valley within the Pembrokeshire National Park and within walking distance of the Preseli hills. Shower and toilet facilities are available in our mobile home. Guests can choose where to camp anywhere in our large gently sloping, south facing field that is surrounded by trees and with views over the surrounding countryside. There is a small spring fed swimming lake in a separate area which guest are welcome to use. Wild swimming is also available at the local quarry pool and at Lys-y-fran water park which also offers other waters ports and has a cafe. The local village is just over a mil and has a grocery shop garage and cafe. The community owned pub of Tafarn Sync located in the pretty hamlet of Rosebush, has beautiful views across the valley towards the Preseli hills. The coast towns of Fishguard and Newport are a 20 minute drive (11 miles). Newport has a large sandy beach, ideal for swimming and from where you can also access the 186 mile long Pembrokeshire coast path.
