LOW IMPACT GLAMPING ON THE PEMBROKESHIRE COASTLINE (Full review coming late August)
Kirsty and Andrew would like to welcome you to their vision of a luxury eco-friendly glamping site.
The ECO-ESCAPE campsite in Pembrokeshire is a low-impact rural site designed in harmony with everything this beautiful county has to offer. We have a passion for all things wild including local ecology and wildlife, water sports and outdoor activities. We have ventured into the camping market to share what we love with you!
The Farm
Castle Pill Farm has been an agricultural holding for a good part of the 20th century. Through the years we have grown potatoes, run a farm shop and grown pick-your-own fruit. We currently keep sheep and have recently branched into renewable energy.
The site slopes towards Castle Pill; a tidal inlet of the Cleddau estuary and an ancient oak woodland. You don’t have to travel far to see beautiful bays and picturesque beaches; Pembrokeshire is Britain’s only coastal national park, and boasts over 52 spectacular beaches with over 166 miles of coastal paths exploring them.
The ‘Eco’ Bit
We are passionate about recycling and upcycling, and doing our part to look after the environment. Our aim is reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible whilst also ensuring our guests have a lovely stay. Eco-features to our site include;
- homemade furniture from sustainable timber sources,
- bat and bird boxes in our trees,
- sustainable firewood,
- solar lighting,
- upcycled firepits,
and we offset our energy use by having wind turbines gently generating away on the edge of the farmland. There’s no electricity; just firelight and the starry night sky!
We are also a Greener Camping Club campsite, which means that by staying with us and becoming a member you are supporting environmental projects such as habitat creation and a carbon off-set scheme, which means that for every separate camping party we host, a tree is planted! Further information is available on the Greener Camping Club website www.greenercamping.org
We offer a range of stay-options to suit all tastes, such as –
MEADOW CAMPING & GLAMPING
Our sunny wildflower meadow is perfect for families wanting a bit more space, to keep a watchful eye on the kids and to play with your dog. We offer fully equipped bell tents or spacious camping pitches so you can bring your own.
WOODLAND CAMPING & GLAMPING
Our woodland bell tents and camping pitches are slightly more cosy and more secluded than our meadow tents so are perfect for couples or small families wanting a bit more privacy. All our bell tents come fully equipped with luxury foam mattresses and bedding & all the necessary lighting and cooking equipment.
Woodland Bell Tents (Max. 4 persons)
Our four metre bell tents nestled within our woodland glade are cosy, tastefully furnished and perfect for either couples wanting a romantic getaway or small families wanting a peaceful woodland glamping experience. These charming tents are set apart from the open meadow so provide a more private and secluded alternative to our meadow glamping.
Each bell tent is kitted out with a luxury foam mattress set on a cushioned floor, pillows, duvets and full bedding, basic cooking equipment (cutlery, crockery, cooking utensils, BBQ tongs, pots and pans, a coolbox to store your food, etc.) and solar powered lamps. You also get a private fire pit/BBQ, table and stools & use of the hot tub.
Our Eco-Escape is the perfect base to explore Pembrokeshire’s coastline. This magnificent and diverse area boasts plunging cliffs that meet frothing seas in some places, and crystal clear waters that lap gently at hidden coves in others.
Pembrokeshire’s coastline was made to be enjoyed: there are beaches for lazy days or the coastal path for walking and taking in the stunning scenery. So click here to get high on life and low on Carbon.
