For those who haven’t yet visited this glorious part of Wales, you need to get down to Point Farm Campsite which is situated in this stunning county, just a stone’s throw away from one of the UK’s most spectacular stretches of coastline.
Point Farm Campsite is a new campsite but the farm itself dates back to the 18th century, meaning that there is much to explore at this historic place. Point Farm offers panoramic views that are simply stunning. From one window, you will see the wonderful blue sea and from another, you may find yourself gazing up into the Preseli Mountains. This part of Wales features every type of landscape that you could ask for so is perfect for anyone who loves to explore.

You will find a pub just 400 metres from the campsite and high-quality washing and laundry facilities available on site. Each pitch also comes with its own fire pit for roasting marshmallows under the stars. To buy food or have a meal out, you will need to head down to the local village, Dale Village, which is the thriving hub in this local area. In Dale Village, you will find a host of pubs, corner shops, cafes and other essential amenities.
