Littlewood Campsite

Littlewood Campsite sits just outside Burry Port in Carmarthenshire, a modest spot that appeals mainly to caravan and motorhome users rather than day-trippers. It's the sort of place you'd base yourself for a week, not visit for an afternoon. The site itself is fairly functional - more working holiday ground than destination attraction, if we're honest.

What makes the location worthwhile is what's around it. You're minutes from Pembrey Country Park, which has proper walks, a lake, and some decent woodland. Burry Port itself is a real working harbour town with a bit of character - none of that over-prettified tourist nonsense. The beach here is fine if you don't mind a bit of industrial backdrop, but the walks along the coast towards Llanelli are where you'll actually want to spend your time.

Families tend to do well here because the pace is low-key. Kids won't find theme park thrills, but there's room to move about, explore the estuary, and actually breathe without being herded through a visitor centre. It's genuinely useful as a base if you're doing a broader Carmarthenshire tour - close enough to Carmarthen town for supplies, far enough away to feel like you've escaped.

The campsite itself requires a bit of investigation regarding specific opening dates and fees - it's not the sort of place that shouts about itself online. Contact locally or check caravan club websites before turning up.
