  • Small, quiet site with sea views; two miles from the coast at Llanelli
  • Within half an hour's drive of the Gower Peninsula and Brecon Beacons
  • Great cycling access to Swiss Valley Trail and Millennium Coastal Path
A well-placed Carmarthenshire site with stunning sea views, Caemawr Camping and Caravan Site is a small, quiet spot close to Llanelli. There's plenty to do around and about – coastal strolls along the Millennium Coastal Path, taking in the Swiss Valley Trail's green vistas by bike or driving out to the Gower Peninsula and Brecon Beacons are all options on the table. You can expect flat and level grounds for pitching up on, as well as a modern shower and toilet block. Other than that, you'll be left to your own devices – it's up to you whether you opt to set up a barbecue, kindle a campfire, cycle five minutes down the road for dinner at the nearest pub or take the dog (if you've brought one) out for walks on the beach. Speaking of the sea, Caemawr Camping and Caravan Site is roughly two miles from the nearest stretch of coast, where local highlights include Llanelli beach, the Machynys Peninsula Golf and Country Club and Sandy Water Park, a peaceful nature watching spot brimming with birdlife.

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Very helpful and friendly host. Good, modern showers and toilets. I think the panorama must be great, but it was rather wet and misty when I stayed.

Disliked: Some might think the access road rather uneven, but it's a farm track. No problem in my VW.

SHARON C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The view must be amazing, we couldn’t see it due to the rain, large pitches, water points at pitch.

Disliked: Shower block was freezing, had radiator but was switched off and took an age to heat up. No heating in toilet, it was February and cold.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your comments. The new toilet/shower block has warm electric showers with an additional electric radiator that does provide you with the luxury of a heated shower room and the radiator can be turned on and off to suit each individual. Disappointing weather during your stay as there is a beautiful view from the field of the Gower Peninsula/Loughor estuary.

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Stunning views of the river estuary far below. Open space high up. Not busy in February. Clean spacious ablutions. Good walking in the area. Dawn was very friendly and most helpful with advice on access to the site, a local shop and walks.

Disliked: The very cold weather! But of course that's nothing to do with the campsite.

Local attractions

Exploring the Llanelli area is perhaps best done by bike – you can pedal up to the peaceful Lliedi Reservoirs (15 minutes' cycle) for a picnic before heading back to base, or make a day of it and continue on to the National Botanic Garden of Wales (an hour and 30 minutes by bike or half an hour by car), where those arriving on two wheels get a discount on the price of entry. Next, you might like to stretch your legs by heading to the Brecon Beacons (from 30 minutes' drive) – make sure to pack sensibly sturdy footwear if your plans involve top treks like the Ystradfellte Four Waterfalls Walk (an hour) or hikes around Carreg Cennen Castle (45 minutes). The national park is also home to less energetic attractions like the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (50 minutes) and the Brecon Mountain Railway (an hour). Yet another option would be to take a driving tour of the gorgeous Gower Peninsula (from 30 minutes) to soak up some of South Wales' best seascapes. The sweeping sands of Rhossili Bay (50 minutes) will probably be part of most itineraries, but for something a little different you could also head to the Swansea side of the peninsula for jetski safaris around Oxwich Bay (40 minutes).
