Brynhaul Clover Field Camping and Shepherds Huts
The highest campsite in Pembrokeshire, perched on the Preseli Hills with fire pits at every pitch, private composting loos, and serious dark skies.
Brynhaul sits on the edge of Foel Cwm Cerwyn, the highest point in the Preseli Hills, and earns its position honestly: panoramic views across the Pembrokeshire landscape, Milky Way skies after dark, and a deliberate quietness that the location demands. The site carries 10 tent pitches and 3 campervan pitches across 6.5 acres, kept deliberately low-density so the hill can breathe around you.
What marks Brynhaul out from the usual eco-campsite proposition is the care in the detail. Each pitch gets its own fire pit and its own composting toilet (well-designed, no smell, reviewers note). Hot showers, fridge and freezer access, picnic benches, and a generous central grass area round out the practicalities. Cars stay off the camping field, which makes the whole place calmer and safer if you have children or dogs. Host Steve is consistently described as present and knowledgeable, the kind of person who stakes an extra guy rope on your tent when the wind gets up.
The two shepherd's huts offer a step up for couples wanting the setting without the groundsheet: hot tub access, stylish interiors, self-catered or with food available. Maenclochog village is a 15-minute walk for a pub or café. The Pembrokeshire coast, with its beaches, coves, and castles, is 20 minutes by car. Preseli Hills walking starts from the campsite gate.
Before you book
- No cars on the camping field: pitches are reached on foot, so pack accordingly.
“Brynhaul earns its reputation through the combination of elevation, dark skies, and a host who actually looks after his guests. This is the Preseli Hills at its most accessible without compromising on the real thing.”
