Gupton Farm was a traditional Pembrokeshire farm before its reinvention as a gateway to the surrounding coastal habitats, with a sustainable and conservation-focused approach to farming. It's a great place for an active holiday. Experience one of the best beach surf breaks in Wales, or loop onto the coast path for St Govan's Head with its cliffs full of seabirds, the Stack Rocks and Green Bridge of Wales. For a nature-filled family holiday, explore the golden sand, rockpools and dunes, and head along wetland paths to the bird hide.

The campsite is welcoming and relaxed, with plenty of facilities in the old farm buildings to bring ease to your beach holiday, like a shared barn (the hwb) for all weathers, space to dry wetsuits and a hot outdoor shower. There’s a network of paths right from the site, and it's an easy, ten-minute walk through the fields for sea views and the beach.

It takes about half an hour to drive to Stackpole, with history and thousands of acres to explore as well as award-winning beaches like Barafundle Bay, watersports and lots of outdoor activities. Tenby is about 40 minutes away, with eclectic shops, cafes and traditional fisherman’s inns, as well as the 15th-century Tudor Merchant's House which you can visit for free during your stay.

Check-in is from 2pm, with departures by 11am. For group bookings, directions, late arrivals, facility information, electric vehicle charging, local area guides and more, please check the Guide to Gupton Farm Campsite.
