One of the UK’s top camping destinations has been revealed — and it comes with safari lodges, secret waterfalls, and even a family of pet pigs.
A Welsh site, Top of the Woods, claimed the top spot in a ranking of the best campsites in the country by Time Out. Nestled near the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, this 27-acre nature retreat is surrounded by 325 acres of ancient and conifer Welsh woodlands, with wild beaches and waterfalls just a stone’s throw away.
Top of the Woods encourages visitors to reconnect with nature through its eco-friendly glamping accommodations. Guests can choose from Safari Lodges, Nature Domes, or the one-of-a-kind Pioneer Camps — all of which offer self-catering facilities, cozy wood burners, BBQs, and fire pits ideal for relaxing around during the evening sunset.
But the site is more than just a place to sleep. Activities include the unique Vintage Barn Cinema, a quirky barn transformed into a movie space with straw bale seating. It screens classic family films as well as selected titles for adults, showing every Wednesday and Saturday at 6pm and 8pm — completely free for guests.
For those seeking relaxation, summer yoga sessions are held onsite, giving campers a peaceful way to begin their holiday. The campsite also features a variety of recreational activities: table tennis, basketball, badminton, and a games meadow perfect for football or general play. Campers can also borrow board games to enjoy throughout the day.
One of the most enchanting experiences includes a guided five-mile round-trip trail leading to a hidden waterfall. Nature lovers will also delight in the local wildlife, with regular sightings of owls, woodpeckers, and bats.
Adding a personal touch, the owners share the grounds with two dogs, a Norwegian cat, and a family of pigs — all known to enjoy attention from guests, as noted on the campsite’s website.
Top of the Woods isn’t just for holidaymakers — it also caters to workplace retreats. The site offers flexible indoor and outdoor spaces suitable for meetings, networking, feasting, wellness activities, and social gatherings. While encouraging digital detox around the campfire, the venue also provides fast Wi-Fi in designated work zones.
For budget-conscious travelers, pitching your own tent in the meadow starts at just £16 per adult per night. A jumbo pitch, ideal for two tents, is also available for £15 per night.
Tucked beside a national park, this small but remarkable campsite has also earned recognition as the best-value site in the UK — blending natural beauty, sustainable living, and unforgettable experiences into one award-winning destination.
