Guest JudgeMental Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 We have to be in Brecon for a few days at Whitsun bank holiday and thinking of bringing the camper and having a few days on the Welsh coast.......Can anyone recommend some decent enough campsites? CC will do as long as convenient *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auntyjanet1 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Hi, JudgeIt depends how far west you want to travel, can recommend Three Cliffs Bay on the Gower or Pembrey near Llanelli ,even further west cc sites at St Davids and Freshwater East .South Wales is now a Tracker free area so come and enjoy!

Guest JudgeMental Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Thanks Cliff! Pembrey looks ideal, good reviews, nicely situated with excellent cycling, but as per usual with bloomin CC BOOKED! *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmaggott Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 We go to Pembrey quite often and have found that, even if the website said it was fully booked, if I ring them they take the booking. I think they just leave a few pitches vacant or something. Try ringing a couple of days or fewer before you want to go, for last minute cancellations. It is a great site because of the park next door; wonderful for the dog and/or cycling. Another site in a very picturesque setting is Fishguard Bay; set on the cliffs overlooking the harbour and right on the coastal path. The bus passes on the main road at the end of the (quite long) drive, handy for Newport, Fishguard, St Davids, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie gibblebucket Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Pencilli Castle caravan site is very nice, quite upmarket and priced accordingly! We also found a good CS in Llandovery, miles from anywhere but very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyreman Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Pembrey is ok but go a little further,Tenby is fab,2 nice sites with great views are Trevayne in between Saundersfoot & Tenby & Windmills which is walking distance into the town,Tenby has 2 great beaches with super clean water,nice shops & pubsclosest CC site is Freshwater East but it is a bit out of the way.If youre into surfing you really should check out Newgale,stunning beach,cheap campsite across the road from the beach and a nice pub (with camping in the carpark),St Davids is just up the road with its stunning cathedral,superb site with great views & excellent facilities is Caerfai bay or CC site is Leithyr meadows with Whitesands beach just a stroll down the road and loads of places to explore on bikes eg Porthgain harbour.....if the sun is shining theres nowhere better,hope you enjoy it.

Way2Go Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 If you're in the Caravan Club there is a great CL called 'Glantowy Farm' (51.86169, -4.13073). Really quiet, individuals bays with great views. There's the 'National Show Caves of Wales' (51.83211, -3.68064) which is a brilliant day out AND they have an excellent camp site on site again with great views.Whilst in South Wales don't forget to check out the Llanelli Wetlands and Wildlife Trust http://www.wwt.org.uk/visit-us/llanelli (51.66502, -4.12453).Another good place to visit is The National Botanic Garden of Wales (51.83861, -4.15103).. . . . and somewhere where you 'may' be able to get a booking on the Gower is http://www.carreglwyd.com/ (51.5443, -4.21056). Hope this helps and gives you a few ideas?PS. How come some people's posts are black and some are a crappy grey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JudgeMental Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks again everyone! Th CC gets on my nerves with their stupid booking policy that encourages block booking in advance...easily remedied if they took a deposit :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1footinthegrave Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Try the Gower, lovely cl there, also lots of sites, or travel up to Gwynedd starting at Aberdyfi following along the Cambrian coast ( giving Barmouth a miss perhaps depending on your likes and dislikes), but lots of nice sites with sea views all along that coast all the way up through Porthmadog, and beyond to Abersoch. Can't imagine a need to book as there are so many to go at ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel wood Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 1footinthegrave - 2011-04-22 2:06 PM along the Cambrian coast ( giving Barmouth a miss perhaps depending on your likes and dislikes), We think that Barmotyh has a lot to offer (preferably out of High Season). There's a super site (Hendre Mynach) and wonderful walking and cycling - including a superb flat surfaced route to Dolgellau. If you enjoy mountain or coastal walking and easy cycling there is much to do without ever moving your van during your stay. There is also an interesting Fishermen's Reading Room near the harbour which is open to all. If you wish to go father afield without using your van you can travel from Barmouth by train. The views of the Myddach Estuary and valley from the bridge are truly wonderful sites to behold. You can even walk across and, if you time it right, return by train. Alternatively continue your walk to the point and return by small ferry or even walk to Fairbourne, take a narrow guage steam train to the point for the ferry.

Guest pelmetman Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 We were well impressed with North Wales when we went last year, and will go again when we get the chance :D ...........As for sites we liked the Min Y Don site at Harlech (CC affililiated site) a few minutes walk from a lovely beach and not far into Harlech it self, although a steep up hill walk :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 We are in Brecon staying at a hotel for 2 days for a wedding, then one night visting friends we made in Italy who live in Swansea....So south coast for 3 nights is what we are looking for :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1footinthegrave Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Sounds like the Gower would be just what the doctor ordered then, no shortage of sites, and some CL's with Rhosilli being the icing on the cake, on a nice day the views from the pub on the headland are stunning, also some lovely walking too. Some roads a bit tight, but not too much of an issue with our PVC. Swansea not too far down the road either. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyreman Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 If your going to the gower Nicholaston Farm is beautiful with great views over Oxwich bay,make sure you go to Rhossili beach as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
