Description
Hillfort Camping & Yurts voted number 1 by the Telegraph in 2016’s ranking of ‘Incredible campsites that will convert you to canvas’. But don’t take their word for it – See all of our reviews! There is no better place to relax and get away from the stress of urban life!
Explore our Iron Age Hillfort... take in phenomenal views and experiences offered by the Pembrokeshire coast and be inspired by what we think is the best sunset in the country! Set in the peace and quiet of the Pembrokeshire countryside! Our pitches provide the perfect setting for a relaxed and stress-free camp. From Castles to beachside walks, coastal paths to local food and drinks, Pembrokeshire itself is a popular tourist attraction and has much to satisfy a diverse range of tastes. There is far too much to list, but we’ll try! We have an array of inspiring yurts with spectacular coastal views of Pembrokeshire National Park. Take a step back from everyday life and one step into our glamping arena that is the Hillfort!
Hillfort Camping and Yurts was created by affable local land owner John, who was born and bred in the farmhouse in this quite incredible corner of Pembrokeshire. John really is the loveliest of owners, an unassuming guy who just wants people to enjoy their time here. Never fear, though; if you don’t want chat, he won’t force it upon you. And the site? Well, unassuming it definitely is not; instead it is quite simply staggering. You really are camping on top of the world, with the Pembrokeshire coastline unfurling beneath you, like a rolled out carpet.
This immense, panoramic view almost defies description. To put it into perspective, anyone who knows North Pembrokeshire knows that the Strumble Head lighthouse rises from the coastline like an imposing beacon. But, overlooking it from one of Hillfort’s craggy outcrops, Strumble looks like the tiniest, least significant dot in the landscape.
John recently changed the campsite's name from 'Hillfort Tipis' after he stopped renting out the structures and began offering yurts instead. And, while the rest of its name was inspired by the remains of an Iron Age fort on the side of the mountain, it could just as easily be called ‘camping in the clouds’, for that is about as high as it feels. We often write about a place’s sense of space in our Cool Camping recommendations, but this takes space and freedom to another level. Buzzards and kestrels fly overhead, while dolphins can be spotted (with binoculars) from your elevated vantage point. Rabbits and badgers burrow amongst the gorse. Kids clamber up to the cave in the rocks. The perfect place, then, to contemplate life and all that it has to offer.
YOUR PEACE OF MIND IS IMPORTANT FOR US
Hillfort campsite is set in a large countryside setting away from centres of population. Our camping units and Yurts are all at least 20 metres apart – some more. The site is owner-managed by someone who is passionate about your holiday enjoyment – and your welfare. We believe these factors, coupled with the fact that you will be holidaying in the ‘great outdoors’ will offer you some peace of mind during the weeks and months ahead.
The peace and quiet of the Pembrokeshire countryside surrounding our pitches provides the perfect setting for a relaxed and stress-free holiday.

WHAT OUR VISITORS SAY
Amazing experience here last year, was a beautiful location and really enjoyed having the opportunity to have a real campfire and appreciated the little extras and provisions provided by the staff. Would highly recommend this location as a fantastic rural camping experience, very family orientated and the kids loved it!
