Glamping in Tenby
Tenby is perhaps the most-loved resort in south-western Wales – and it’s easy to see why. You'll find four golden-sand beaches, a seafront lined with colourful houses and historic city walls leading down to a working harbour in this top town. Adding to the appeal, local restaurants have upped their game in the gastronomic stakes – try all sorts of food here, from Thai to Italian, as well as sip on craft beers sourced from local breweries.
The glamping in Tenby is brilliant, too. Choose from big bell tents on chilled-out farms with lots of space for the kids to play, stylish geodesic domes to suit groups of friends, and cute cabins for cosy couple time.

Where you should stay in Tenby
-
Glamping in Tenby is a great choice if you’re travelling with children as there are plenty of family-friendly options. Once you’ve picked a spot with a play area or lots of green space, turn your attention to the nearby attractions: young glampers might like to gaze in awe at the prehistoric animatronics in the Dinosaur Park or try archery and go-karting at Heatherton World of Activities.
-
Instead of glamping right by the beach, stay at a farm a short drive inland. Interact with animals like curly-tailed piglets and fluffy lambs, then meet more exotic species – including wallabies and lemurs – at the Manor Wildlife Park.
-
There’s no need to leave the dogs at home when glamping in Tenby. Settle down near the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and you can usher four-legged friends off on a 4.5-mile wander to Saundersfoot with views of the sparkling sea the whole way.
-
Drive the short distance to Oakwood for thrill-seeking rides on the Megafobia wooden rollercoaster at this much-adored theme park, then decompress at your calm glamping accommodation later on. You can opt for quieter sites by picking the ‘peaceful’ filter.
-
In warmer seasons, plump for a place that allows barbecues. This way, you can cook up seafood caught during one of the mackerel sea fishing tours that leave from Tenby’s harbour in your glamping park's kitchen.

The main draw when glamping near Tenby may be the town's outdoor seafront location, but for things to do in Tenby when it’s raining, tour the Tudor Merchant's House.

Adventurous type? Try coasteering. This sport, said to have been invented in Pembrokeshire, sees participants navigate their way from one point to another along the coastline while scaling crags and diving into the water. If you're trying this in shoulder season, it's worth making sure your glamping accommodation has heating so you can easily warm up later on.
