Grass Pitch 1 (non-electric) (1 at Shortlands Farm)
UK Wales South Wales Pembrokeshire Little Haven & Broad Haven Shortlands Farm
The Owner Says
16 NON-ELECTRIC camping pitches for tents and small vans (no motorhomes/caravans) over one large field. Pitches are round the edge of the field which leaves space in the centre of the site for children – and adults – to play and form firm friendships.
Unzipping your tent reveals absolutely breathtaking sea views across St Brides Bay to the west. There are stunning sunsets year round.
There is a drinking water tap in this field.
Just outside the field is a modern unisex toilet and shower block (3 toilets, 3 showers, 2 wash-basins both with shaving points, a freezer for cool blocks, and electric charge points - items left at your own risk!).
There are three outdoor sinks for washing-up.
There is a chemical disposal point should you wish to bring your own toilet.
We are off the beaten track and cater mainly to families, couples and small groups of friends who enjoy a busy day of beach activities followed by a hot shower, BBQ, and an evening socialising with friends or family. Shortlands Farm is a family-friendly site and we welcome well-behaved dogs on leads.
The dramatic and dog friendly beach at Druidston Haven is a 15 minute walk away, and Broad Haven with its beach, shops, pubs, cafes and surf hire is a 45 minute stroll along the coast path. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path is a stone’s throw from the campsite.
No visit to Shortlands Farm campsite would be complete without an evening of sitting round a campfire (a fire pit is provided on every camping pitch) enjoying the incredible sunsets over St Brides Bay, followed by some stargazing.
Camping at Shortlands Farm is a friendly and laid back experience. We don’t have tons of rules, we just ask you to respect your fellow guests and keep noise to a minimum after 10pm.

About Shortlands Farm

Nearby
Access to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path is 5 minutes from the farm. There are plenty of stunning beaches in the area too, with Druidston Haven the nearest, just a 10-15 minute stroll away. The medieval ruins and seaside charm of St Davids (Britain's smallest city!) is a 20 minute drive away. You'll find a wealth of aquatic activities to partake in here including coasteering, sea kayaking and, of course, surfing. For something a little more sedate, The Gallery at Oriel-Y-Felin (01437 720 386) is worth a visit, while a boat trip to Ramsey Island (01437 721 721) is also an unforgettable experience.
Food & Drink
For fish and chips, The Shed (01348 831 518) in Porthgain takes some beating. The Haven Brasserie (01437 710191) in Nolton Haven is the pick of the bunch for gastropubs with a great line in inventive dishes. The Druidstone Hotel (01437 781 221) restaurant boasts a decent menu of home-cooked dishes and some enviable views overlooking St Brides Bay, booking essential. The bar at The Druidstone Hotel is for guests and members only. MamGu Welshcakes (01437 454 369) in Solva serves delicious traditional and inventive welsh cakes, as well as dishes like cawl and their famous crempogs. For quaint little Pembrokeshire pubs, make the short trip to The Ship Inn (01437 721 247) at Solva – a CAMRA-award winning, harbourside – or The Cambrian Inn (01437 721210) also in Solva. For supplies, the nearest shop is in Broad Haven – either 5 minutes by car or a 40 minute walk along the coast path.
Family Friendly
Sea-sickness, scurvy, shark infested waters. If you're not a fan of boat trips you might not like the views at Shortlands Farm. The panoramic vistas of the sea from this laid-back cliff-top campsite are second to none. Don't worry though, you're on dry land and this campsite's not going anywhere.
