To comply with countryside planning policy, the site is a member of The Greener Camping Club. Founded in 2015 by four friends with experience as campsite owners, the brand is dedicated to providing premium, environmentally friendly campsites. Campsites undergo a rigorous application process, and all share a commitment to high-quality, sustainable camping in stunning locations. Their goal is to create a network of top-notch, eco-friendly campsites across Wales and England that consistently deliver an exceptional camping experience for our members.


They offer a wide selection of exclusive camping and glamping sites in breathtaking areas across West Wales and other parts of Wales and England.


For a nominal fee of just £12, their membership grants you access to these exceptional sites. Membership is valid from January 1st to December 31st, with an automatic extension to the following year if you join on or after September 1st of the preceding year.


As part of their commitment to the environment, they have implemented the 'Trees for Life' initiative. For every new member, they plant a tree. To date, they have planted over 65,000 trees, with their campsites alone planting nearly 18,000 trees in 2023. They expect to plant at least the same number in 2024. This endeavour aims to offset some of the environmental impact associated with even the most eco-friendly holidays. The membership fee funds these trees.
