On the edge of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park
Three fields run out from the farm gate toward St Brides Bay, each pitch on grass, without electric. Some pitches are on a gentle north facing slope and from the upper field the sea fills the horizon — in the evening the sun drops straight into it.
West Hook is run by Robert and Karre Thomas, a working farm on the Marloes Peninsula inside the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The Marloes Peninsula is one of the most unspoilt stretches of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, and the campsite sits right at its tip.
There’s almost no light pollution here. When the campers have settled in for the night, the stars are extraordinary.
A mile from the beach. Minutes from Skomer.

Martin’s Haven & Skomer Ferry
The departure point for the Skomer Island ferry is a cliff-path walk from the campsite gate — the closest camping to the crossing. Follow the path through gorse and bracken straight to the cove.
-
Marloes Sands
A magnificent National Trust beach with crystal-clear water and dramatic sandstone cliffs. One of the finest — and least crowded — beaches in Wales.
-
Dale & St Brides Bay
The sheltered bay at Dale is ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, and sailing lessons. The Griffin Inn is close by for when you’re done.
Views. Tents. Sunsets. Puffins.
Three fields. Grass pitches. No electric.
Tents and campervans on grass, spread across three fields with the sea at the end of each view. Some pitches on a gentle slope, all with open sky. No electric hook-ups, no static caravans — just the farm, the fields, and St Brides Bay.
