Glyn-Coch's certificated location campsite is located in St. Clears, Carmarthenshire. The campsite at Glyn-Coch slopes gently to the South East and is sheltered from the North West by mature hedges. The grass is cut once a week (depending on weather.) The view is of rolling grassland. Facilities include a standpipe, chemical disposal point, toilets, and a shower. (The shower is available between 6.00pm and 11.00pm and is less then 150yds from your pitch.) Four electric hook ups are available. Access to the craft centre facilities (including the Tearoom) is free. Pets are allowed, but must be kept under control at all times.
This quiet site attracts mainly older campers and young families, but all are welcome. For those interested in wildlife there is plenty to see from our woodland walk, which hosts rare plants, over 60 species of birds, most mammals you would expect in this area. For the serious ecologists Glyn-Coch is one of the top 20 sites in the UK for moth diversity. For crafty Campers our craft shop offers items made by people from all over Wales, and the pottery offers the chance to make or decorate a range of china and ceramic products. Almost all our guests extend or repeat their stay.
Offsite attractions include (5 miles south ) the village of Laugharne, famous as the setting for Dylan Thomas's 'Under Milk Wood', about 3 miles further on is Pendine, famous for its 7 mile long sandy beach which once hosted World Land Speed Record Attempts. Beyond Pendine quiet country lanes take you Amroth which is the start of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. A few miles West of Glyn-Coch is Whitland where Hywel Dda (the only Welsh King know as 'Dda' or 'the Good') who unified Welsh law before the Normans arrived in England. Hywel's laws gave equal rights to women, and divided inherited property equally between all the children. To the West of Whitland is the pretty village of Narbeth, with its wonderful little shops. North from Narbeth roads lead into the beautiful Preseli Mountains packed with prehistoric monuments and fascinating folklore. And don't forget the castles of the Landsker line, or the resort towns of Saundersfoot and Tenby. The National Sailing Centre at Dale on Milford Haven is only just over an hour away. We are also lucky to be surrounded by golf courses and nationally famous fishing lakes. To the SE of us are the pretty estuary villages of Llansteffan and Ferryside. I could go on, but better to leave you something to find for yourself, there is plenty here!
I first went camping with my parents in 1953, and since we got married Thelma and I have camped all over the UK and northern France. In spite of our long experience we have benefitted from the help and advice of other campers when dealing with new, borrowed, and 'end of life' equipment. We know what it is like trying to perform a camping first. So if you are a new camper, or trying out new equipment, why not come here first. If you need it we are here to help, but if you learn best by trial and error, and wish to be left alone to experiment, then that's alright too. (Don't worry, we won't laugh, unless your antics remind us of one of our own disasters!
A list of local suppliers of camping essentials and emergency information is displayed in the shop. The friendly White Lion Inn, 1/2 a mile away, provides bar meals and has a small restaurant. St. Clears has a good range of food and general hardware shops. We have TWO prize winning butchers shops! (Butchers: Eynons. Phillip Hughes) Over 100 tourist attractions are open all year within 1 hours drive. The AA estimate that we can be reached in about 4 1/2 hours from London, 3 1/2 hours from NWales and 4 hours from Liverpool. Irish Ferries at Swansea, Pembroke and Fishguard are less than an hour away, Brecon is just over. For more information please click here for Directions, approximate times and distances.
The camping season is from March to October. We accept Camping and Caravan Club members only, but you may join here (subscription approximately £30 or as specified by the club).

All pitch prices include a car, caravan (or Tent), awning and a pup tent. Although advance booking is not required giving us a ring before leaving home could help avoid disappointment if the site is full. If you do wish to book a pitch we usually take a small deposit to cover the work of reserving and preparing your pitch in case you do not arrive. If you do arrive the deposit will pay for your first night's pitch fee. Contact Us for booking details).
We observe club rules, but the main rule, here, is that all campers must enjoy themselves, but to please remember that other people are trying to enjoy themselves too, and may not take kindly to being woken up at three in the morning with joyful singing when you are coming back from a night on the town.
