Apple Camping - The Jewel of Tenby

Five acres of Pembrokeshire farmland given over to the genuinely eccentric: converted aircraft, a UFO, an igloo dome, all within ten minutes of Tenby.

Apple Camping operates on a different logic to most glamping sites. The draw here isn't a shepherd's hut or a bell tent village -- it's a converted Airbus, a UFO pod, a jet fuselage, and an igloo dome, each fitted out with its own character and enough kit (smart TVs, games consoles, hot tubs on some units) to keep you happily grounded. The owners' instinct for hospitality is evident from first contact: WhatsApp briefings with video walkthroughs, local tips, and milk in the fridge on arrival.

The setting is Pembrokeshire proper -- the site sits within the national park, on farmland near Redberth, with Tenby and Saundersfoot both reachable in under ten minutes. The dome offers star-gazing on clear nights. It's a base with real pull for families who want the kids to have a story to tell, and for couples marking a birthday or anniversary with something they won't have done before.

Shower facilities are shared and housed separately from the individual units -- worth knowing before you pack. The site operates year-round, and out-of-season stays come with quieter roads and lower prices without sacrificing the core experience.

Before you book

Shower facilities are shared and separate from the accommodation units -- factor this in if you're used to en suite glamping.
Parking and access are rural Pembrokeshire; allow for narrow country lanes on the approach.

“The most distinctive glamping in Pembrokeshire, operated by hosts who clearly care. Book an aircraft unit for the conversation-starter alone; stay for the Pembrokeshire coast on your doorstep.”
