Preseli Glamping

Fourteen spacious camping pitches fringe a rolling meadow amongst the wildflowers and saplings whilst a luxurious geodesic dome is sheltered in an arboreal amphitheatre of birdsong, hidden at the foot of the valley. Two large hardstanding and grass campervan pitches overlook the camping meadow with stunning views down to the sea, each with a picnic table and fire pit with cooking grill.

A rural retreat, rich in wildlife, Preseli Glamping offers a unique opportunity to restore and reconnect with Nature in a secluded sanctuary for adventurers of all kinds wanting to explore the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. With private picnic tables and fire pits for every pitch and a wide open grassy space for yoga, reading in the sun, ball games and children’s games, this is a perfect place for families, couples or friends to escape, relax and reset in beautiful, peaceful surroundings. What sets this campsite apart in luxury is its excellent facilities: a sparkling clean bathroom block, a WiFi hub, a woodshed where you can purchase logs for your firepit, a shed with a freezer for freezer blocks, a wetsuit washing station and a chemical toilet disposal point. You’re never far away from a drinking water tap and there is a covered hot-water dishwashing station. There is a noticeboard detailing all the best circular walks from the campsite taking in the nearby glorious beaches, places to eat and shop, as well as a large interactive map of Pembrokeshire which shows activities and places of interest to visit.

CHOOSE YOUR PITCH

Every pitch harbours uniquely charming characteristics. The higher camping pitches such as Gannet’s Ledge, Fulmar’s Nest, Hermit Crab and Compass Jellyfish have the most spectacular views down the valley to the coastline; they have a wonderful sense of open space and are a little closer to the bathrooms. The lower pitches such as Mermaid’s Purse and Kelp Beds benefit from the shelter of the woodland that swathes the lower part of the valley; each is a cosy suntrap immersed in birdsong. Grey Seal is at the opening of the woodland clearing at the foot of the valley, perfect for watching woodpeckers and ravens in the valley. Blenny’s Nook is in the far corner of the campsite, a cosy quiet nook fringing the outer woodland; this is a perfect little suntrap with hardly a whisper of wind! The pitches are all surrounded by saplings and bordered with wildflowers, which gives them a sense of personal space and privacy. The Geodesic Dome is situated in a hidden woodland clearing and the foot of the camping field, in the pitch called Harbour Porpoise.

WALKING THE PEMBROKESHIRE COAST

A plethora of circuit walks starting and finishing at the campsite as well as longer walks which link up with the coastal shuttle buses will immerse you in the historical heritage of the landscape from craggy cliffs and undulating sandstone coves to volcanic headlands and glacial valleys; ancient drowned forests to Neolithic burial chambers; from the oldest working woollen mill in Wales magnificent 12th-century cathedral. From these well-traversed trails, swathed in sea campion, yellow gorse and pink thrift flowers, you can spot inquisitive grey seals lazing on the rocky shoreline, pods of harbour porpoise and Atlantic sea birds fishing, peregrines diving and kittiwakes nesting. Mull over mesmerising rock pools where ruby-red beadlet anemones sway, blennies dart between pebbles and winkle shells shimmer in the sun… Comb the tideline for a mermaid’s purse or sea-smoothed pottery amongst the driftwood.
