CAMPING
It’s possible to book the whole place for up to 20 people. Or maybe book a pitch at one of our open weekends. This is a queer campsite like no other! Here is everything you need to know before you set off to enjoy your long weekend in the wild West Welsh countryside.
Amenities
- TOILETS: We have two lovely compost toilets at opposite ends of the Orchard. Serviced regularly, it is doing your business in a bucket. We use sawdust to cut out any smells and, after a couple of years, use the compost on our fruit trees. Humanure is fascinating!
- SHOWERS: There are lovely gas powered hot showers in the Orchard. Glamour!
- FOOD: There are a number of supermarkets nearby, but we may also be making some hot meals for campers to enjoy.
- WATER: There’s many cold water taps around for washing and drinking.
- FIRE: There are many campfire spots around the place, and firewood available for purchase.
- ELECTRICITY: Available for phone-charging only. No campervan hook-ups. A shared fridge/freezer is available at the Field Shelter.
- TRANSPORT: Easy access for cars from the end of the M4, one of the first turnings off the A48. By rail the closest station is Ammanford, but Swansea station is the best connected – so consider our Shuttle service (see here for prices). If you are up for an adventure, you can alight the train in Llanelli and cycle on the National Cycle Network up through Tumble and Cross Hands to find us. For this, you’ll be rewarded with a cheaper entry price.
- PARKING: There is a limited number of spaces on site, so we encourage you to share lifts or consider public transport options if possible. You will be parked on grass with mesh underneath at the top of the Wildflower Meadow. We have wheelbarrows and the like available to help you get your tent and camping gear across to the Orchard, which is where most people set up camp!
