Pitch-Perfect Family Holidays in Pembrokeshire

Remember the joy of waking up in a sleeping bag, eating cereal out of a plastic bowl, and running wild all day without a screen in sight? That’s what family holidays in Pembrokeshire are all about — pure, unplugged joy, wrapped up in sea air and salty hair.

And if you’re ready to swap the usual hotel routine for something a little more exciting, may we suggest… camping? Not just any camping — camping with sea views, luxury touches, and all the fresh air your family could ask for.

Welcome to the ultimate family holiday in Pembrokeshire, with a twist of tent life thrown in for good measure.

Camping That Doesn’t Feel Like Compromising

Gone are the days of soggy guy ropes and midnight torch hunts for the toilet. Campsites like Rainbolts Hill, just above Newgale Beach, are giving camping a fresh spin—comfortable, scenic, and totally family-friendly.

Think:

• Flat, safe pitches for tents, campervans or motorhomes
• Clean loos and warm showers (no chilly queues here!)
• Easy access to beaches, coast paths, and ice cream vans
• Dogs welcome, kids encouraged, and adventure guaranteed

Days Full of Pembrokeshire Magic

Camping makes your base camp simple — but the real fun starts when you step outside. Pembrokeshire is basically one big outdoor playground for kids (and grown-ups who still act like them).

Here are some of our tried-and-tested family favourites:

• Newgale Beach – Jump the waves, build epic sandcastles, or learn to surf
• Folly Farm, Heatherton & Manor House Wildlife Park– Zoo, adventure park, and soft play all rolled into one
• St Davids – Smallest city in Britain, with big ice creams and even bigger coastal views
• Coasteering & kayaking – For the brave adventurers (age 8+, and helmets provided!)
• Whitesands & Broad Haven – More family-friendly beaches, and cracking chip shops too

And don’t forget a walk along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Pack snacks and take it at your own pace. You never know what you’ll spot — seals, puffins, maybe even dolphins.

Don’t Leave the Dog Behind

One of the best things about a camping holiday in Pembrokeshire? The whole family can come, including the dog.

With so many dog-friendly beaches, cafes and pubs, your pooch will have just as much fun as the kids. Campsites like Rainbolts Hill welcome dogs with open paws (and maybe a few treats too).
