Camping by the Beach in Wales
Experience waking up on the beach by camping at one of the many campsites along the stunning Welsh coastline. Rise to the sound of crashing waves, and the smell of breakfast barbecues for the ultimate summer adventure.
Bert’s Kitchen Garden
Pitch your tent at Bert’s Kitchen Garden, a hidden gem just a stone’s throw from the Trefor coast in Northern Wales. You can choose from already pitched tents or huts to stay in during your time at Bert’s Kitchen Garden, each set in a natural meadow with breathtaking views. You’ll find barbecue facilities, a cafe, and a restaurant serving local and sustainable produce on site. This is a unique spot for both families and couples looking for a tranquil escape.
Whitesands Camping, Pembrokeshire
For camping right by the beach, pitch your tent at Whitesands Camping. There’s availability for tents, campervans, and motorhomes and there’s no need to book – perfect for that unpredictable British weather. While dogs are welcome on site, they must stick to the coastal paths during the summer months as they are not allowed on the beach itself. Thanks to its exposed location, Whitesands Beach is a perfect destination for surfers, with consistent waves year-round. Amenities at the campsite include showers, and a cafe to refresh after a long day on the beach.
Three Cliffs Bay
Three Cliffs Bay in Gower offers glamping, pitch, and motorhome options. The campsite is dog-friendly, and has stunning views over Gower Peninsula, with easy access to the beach from accessible coastal paths. Open daily for all campers, the campsite shop offers freshly baked goods and local produce to ensure your camping experience includes delicious foods. Three Cliffs Bay also offers camping essentials on-site and beach and watersport rentals – great for busy families looking for an easy packing experience. This is a great spot to visit, with everything you need available on the campsite and local activity centres for the ultimate outdoor escape.
