A truly unique camping and yurt holiday experience, just minutes from the outstanding Pembrokeshire coast.
That’s what we offer at Ty Parke Farm Campsite. There probably isn’t another campsite in Pembrokeshire that provides such a feeling of space and freedom - but at the same time, has great facilities and campfires!
Meadow Camping
To start with we have the original ‘family camping meadow’. This is a sheltered 2-3 acre field that has eight designated pitches - each with its own campfire place and picnic table. Apart from arrival and departure days, the camping meadow is a ‘car-free zone’, so there are no ‘comings and goings’ during your stay. We do however make exceptions for camper vans! The camping meadow is close to our lovely facilities and the barn where we store a huge supply of firewood. Cars are parked about 150 metres from the meadow.
Secluded Camping
Then we have the secluded camping pitches. We have six at present and we add a new one every year or so. This doesn’t mean that we let them all out at once. We stick rigidly to our self-imposed ‘ten pitch limit’ - this includes the pitches in the family camping meadow. The secluded pitches are dotted around our 52 acre sheep farm - in a little clearing amongst the new trees here, or in an open field with a huge view there.
Luxury Yurt Camping!
Then there are our four luxury camping yurts. These are all decked out with solid wood floors, wood-burning stoves, double beds, single futon beds, tables, chairs, rugs and wall hangings. In a word - amazing! Each yurt has a separate, covered outside kitchen tent, with cooker, all utensils and picnic table. We prefer this to cooking in the yurt - which is what some yurt sites do. The three ‘hideaway’ yurts also each have their own private use dry-composting loos.
Working with nature
We continue to ratchet up the environmental projects here, such as habitat creation, tree planting and renewable energy. We encourage the recycling of everything possible and have made provision for this. Whilst we have very nice, conventional facilities for showering, loos and washing up, we also have an 'off-grid' facility for the boys and the aforementioned composting loos for the yurts and a couple of the secluded pitches.
And finally...
In 2014 we built a wood-fired pizza oven and ‘pizza night’ is now a weekly ritual up at the farm house. In the school holidays we have a story telling evening each week. There's a 2km nature trail around the farm. Children are completely safe (we are several hundred metres from the road (a quiet country lane) and can wander off, make new friends and enjoy the space and freedom. We are about a five minute drive (20min cycle) from our nearest beaches of Abereiddi to the north and Penycwm/Newgale to the south.
We hope to welcome you here one day!
