🏕️ Camping Off-Grid Style

While true wild camping requires the landowner’s permission in Wales, there are plenty of coastal sites that feel wonderfully remote.

• Dafan Rhos Caravan and Camping Site– relaxed, dog-friendly, dunes on your doorstep.
• Camp Bongo – adults only pop-up camping right by Porth Trecastell Beach
• Pen y Bont Farm – riverside pitches with direct access into the Inland Sea.
