  • Small, peaceful family-run site just outside Marloes village
  • Among spectacular scenery a hike or short drive from the beach
  • Two and a half miles from boat trips to Skomer Island
Head way out west, almost to the far end of a Pembrokeshire peninsula and a peaceful break at Foxdale Campsite, on the edge of the village of Marloes: this small site 25 minutes’ drive west of Haverfordwest is surrounded by splendid scenery, and the pitches are fully sheltered from the breezes that occasionally buffet the nearby coast. There are some fab hikes around here (particularly for those who choose to treat their boots to a jaunt on the always-scenic Pembrokeshire Coast Path), and some equally excellent options for other ways to see this cracking stretch of coastline: might you be tempted by wildlife-watching boat trips, windsurfing days, surf lessons or galloping through the shallows on horseback perhaps? Such levels of activity aren’t compulsory, of course (cue sigh of relief from folks seeking flop time). The marvellous Marloes Sands is a mere mile and a half away for easy beach days – the place is so pretty it’s even earned itself a role in a Hollywood film (part of Snow White and the Huntsman was filmed here in 2011). To feed your outings (whatever they may be), settle in for meals at the pub a short stroll away. Takeaways and breakfasts are available from the on-site food trailer at weekends and during busy days during the summer (please call the site to check the availability before your stay). Essential amenities are all sorted on site: basic showers and toilets, laundry facilities, a fridge-freezer and a washing-up area. The village also has a small shop and a pizza takeaway, which are both a short walk away.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: We loved our stay at Foxdale. For those of you that want to be in the middle of the countryside will not be disappointed at all. Definitely take a moment to look at the stars at night! The pitches were a generous size. The on-site loos, showers and washing up facilities were close by and clean. There was even a fridge to store essentials in with ice packs to borrow for days out. Hosts were friendly and helpful and on site until late. We would definitely stay again

Disliked: Admitting to ourselves that we are in the middle age category!

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Location was great, close to the coastal walks and beautiful scenery. The site was small which was perfect for us and all amenities were well kept. But best of all were the hosts. They were very welcoming and attentive, I can't thank them enough.

Disliked: Pitch was slightly unlevel, but only slightly.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Nice level camping field, friendly staff and campers.

Disliked: Facilities were not the best, they felt a bit disjointed. The facilities were all unisex which was not a problem for us however… there was only 4 working toilets, 1x urinal, 1x sink, 3x showers and 2 washing up sinks. This was ok in the quiet time of day however at peak times it got busy even though the site was not full. I can imagine if the site was busy the queues would be very long. The pitches also felt quite small, again if it had been busy we would have felt like canned sardines!

Local attractions

The local beach – an energetic walk or a very short drive away – is clean, uncrowded Marloes Sands, a huge expanse of beach at low tide, with rockpools and unusual cliff formations for added drama. Turn your sights in the opposite direction to hit the north Pembrokeshire coast with a 10-minute drive for the views over St Bride’s Bay. Hop on a boat at nearby Martin’s Haven for the 15-minute crossing to Skokholm and Skomer islands, bliss for birdwatchers: as well as cormorants, razorbills and many other sea birds, between April and August the islands play home to a sizeable puffin colony. Skomer is also a good place to see grey seals, although you can often spot them from dry land as well, during the short walk around the cliff tops at Martin’s Haven Deer Park (no deer, but spectacular wildflowers and sea views). For active types, there are many more fab walks along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, as well as golf, sailing, windsurfing, sea fishing and pony trekking nearby. Also within a 45-minute drive are the teeny city of St Davids, family-friendly days at Oakwood Theme Park and Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo… plus Pembrokeshire beaches galore of course…
