  • Spacious pitches with private facilities on the Pembrokeshire coast
  • A 35-minute drive to Welsh Wildlife Centre; 45 to Oakwood Theme Park
  • Wildlife haven, bird hide and sea views; beach five minutes' walk
Loads of campsites are off-grid and non-electric, but not that many come with their own birdwatching facilities. Luckily for all you bird-spotters out there, The Hide Pembrokeshire does, giving you the chance to spot tawny owls and woodpeckers on your back-to-nature mini break. With dramatic views to the Irish Sea, the campsite is surrounded by tall trees and set down a quiet lane in Pembrokeshire countryside. The owners are proud of their green credentials, offering eco-friendly, low-impact stays. The beach is just a few minutes away on foot, and handy local stores just a five-minute drive away in Dinas Cross. By day, you can unwind in the fresh sea air, and by night, cosy up around your campfire and – thanks to the lack of light pollution – enjoy stargazing up to the glittering sky. Spacious camping pitches are mown into long grass, and with very few pitches, there’s no chance of ever feeling crowded here. Each pitch can accommodate one family-size tent (or two smaller ones) and vehicles are not allowed on the field itself. There is an allocated parking area in the woodland at the entrance to the site, where wheelbarrows are on hand for your gear. Pitches here are fully self-contained – each one has its own hot shower run on LPG gas, clean composting toilet and a even kitchenette with washing-up bowl, work bench for food prep and a picnic table. There’s a drinking water tap on site, and recycling facilities and ice packs are available too. Please note that there is an unfenced wildlife pond at this site; children are welcome but you'll need to be careful with them around the water for their safety.

Vasileios A. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent pitch (private bathroom amenities)

Liked: Very clean Very quite Very nice hosts Great location Great toilet, shower and kitchenette.( each pitch has its own! ) Amazing footpaths to walk and a nice beach to go for a swim if you are brave enough! We were offered a late checkout as there was no booking after us to have enough time to dry our tent as it was raining all weekend. Just perfect. I would definitely visit again

Disliked: A bit pricey compared to any campsite I’ve been. Could do with a rain cover on the washing up sink.( I guess it will be sorted at some point as it is a new site! ) While pitchup says check in is at 3 o’clock actually check in is is at 4. I found both a bit late as most campsites have check in from 1 o’clock. I find a bit inconvenient that check in and out is Mon-Fri and Fri-Mon. It could do with a bit more flexibility on that!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review of our site. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay despite the weather not being great! You read our minds with the rain cover on the washing up area, it is in the pipeline I can assure you. Its good to get some constructive criticism as we will always be looking at ways to perfect our site. With regard to the check in times, we understand your frustration in not being able to check in earlier, however, because of the fact that we offer ensuite private facilities per pitch we have to ensure there is enough time to clean these and get them ready before the next set of guests arrive. Future plans include additional shared facility pitches where guests will be able to arrive a little earlier in the day. These pitches will though, be without the luxury of ensuite facilities. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us here at The Hide and you are all welcome back anytime. Kind regards, Jemma & Geraint

Local attractions

The Welsh Wildlife Centre (35 minutes’ drive) has loads of different hides and walking trails as well as resident water buffalo and the chance to spot otters on the Teifi river (nothing’s ever guaranteed when it comes to animals), while Llangloffan Fen (20 minutes) is the habitat of barn owls and hen harriers. You can book cruises from Neyland (45 minutes) to Skomer Island to watch comical puffin colonies, and you might get to see dolphins and Atlantic grey seals on the way as well. Kids can use up excess energy on bumper cars, go-karts and high ropes at Heatherton World of Activities (an hour), or go wild on the thrill rides at Oakwood Theme Park (45 minutes). Best-suited to younger children, there’s a petting zoo and walking safaris at Manor Wildlife Park (55 minutes). Newport is a cute seaside town packed with cafes, ice cream shops, a grocery store and a Monday produce market for replenishing supplies. Head west to Fishguard (both 10 minutes) for handy supermarkets and foodie options from pubs to takeaways.
