Bôn

Good grounding for Great Apes...

Busy Apes like us all too easily forget

our forest and grassland past.

Let’s not lose sight of the stars,

the sea,

song and firelight.

It’s as old as the hills and older.

Come and get grounded at Bôn.

Sir Benfro, Cymru

Campio yn y BÔN

We invite you to stay in our magical west Wales coastal valley campsite, at the heart of Britain’s only coastal National Park. Our 29 acres are teeming with wildlife, meadows and trees.

We are an Eco conscious campsite, with re-wilding the land at heart. The perfect base for your Pembrokeshire summer adventure. A chance to reconnect with family, friends and the great Pembrokeshire outdoors.

About Bôn

 
 

So what’s it all about?

We are a small family run eco campsite certified by the Greener Camping Club. We have been running since 2017, and in that time have developed a unique style of camping experience, offering private facilities on every pitch.

Every pitch and glamping pod comes with it's own en-suite eco loo, hot shower and undercover washing up sink on the pitch, and not only that, we also provide eco products like washing-up liquid, shampoo and conditioner to use whilst you are here.

Inspired by Knepp’s story, we’ve embarked on our own rewilding project. Our mission is to get out of the way, and let natural processes run wild. The aim is to improve the life of our soil, grasses and woodland, to encourage wildlife from the smallest beetle to the larger creatures like Stoat, fox, badgers and many more (all have been seen on site).

Our accommodation includes:

  • 5 x meadow camping pitches

  • 7 x woodland clearings

  • 2 x furnished bell tents (both with fully equipped kitchens)

  • and one yurt (with fully equipped kitchen)

We are a car-free site. Yes! It's a total game changer. You leave your car at the car park and when you're on site, just walk about.

Wheelbarrows are provided to take luggage to your pitch. The kids can roam free, they make friends easily.

It's a short 30-60 second walk to your pitch. Secluded woodland pitches takes just over a couple of minutes to walk to. We are perched halfway down the valley, so the woodland pitches are downhill. The woodland clearings are big spaces, sheltered from the coastal breeze. The birdsong will wake you in the morning if you're a light sleeper! But the sound of the waves lapping against the shoreline at Niwgwl will lull you to sleep (if the breeze is in the right direction).

The meadow pitches are a wee higher up, on a small gradient but so easy to walk to. They benefit from panoramic views across the valley and the final salute to the setting sun. There is the BIG sky at night to be in awe of. We can't take much credit for that, or in fact the beauty of nature that cannot be ignored, for we are also nature. A truth worth remembering whilst you are here.

There are a network of paths to go for a stroll around the 29 acre site. We are blessed to share this land with not only the wild creatures, but also Mimi, our farm cat, Patch our faithful and loving dog, Glyn and Gladys, our rescue kune-kune pigs and most recently Marylegs our working shetland pony and three longhorn heifers.. You must pay them ALL a visit if you stay! But remember not to feed them, please.

The longhorns, pigs and Marylegs the pony are part of our biodiversity plan and desire for a real connection to this beautiful land, that has been developing slowly, year by year, as we listen carefully to what the land wants and needs.

Remembering our way home,

remembering that nature is not a separate entity,

but that Nature is innately in us.

We hope you get a chance to book and visit soon.

Fran and Gordon

 
 

TESTIMONIALS

There is magic in every nook. But don’t take our word for it…

August 2022 - We thought bôn camping was an absolute paradise! We stayed down in the woods and loved waking up to to the sound of woodpeckers and enjoying the views of the fields. Gordon and Fran were so friendly and happy to help out with anything too. Thanks for an amazing holiday and we hope to be back again. 👍👍. Ann Marie, Chris, Callum and Amber

October 2022 - We are so pleased we found Bòn Camping, it was perfect, we wouldn't change a thing. Thank you Fran and Gordon for sharing your beautiful space with us, you've created a wonderful campsite.

May 2022 - I think Bon Camping could quite possibly be my favourite campsite - the woodland pitches are spacious and what a treat to have your own toilet, shower, kitchen, picnic table and fire pit. Visiting in April meant being able to enjoy the tree's coming into blossom and yellow gauze. Perfect place to relax to the cacophony of bird song. Fran, Gordon and their dog are welcoming hosts. Thank you!

August 2019 - “We absolutely loved the wild meadow with grasshoppers and butterflies everywhere. We loved dining with that view and star gazing with a crackling fire.…Thank you for creating such a perfect haven - we can’t imagine a better place to camp and explore beautiful Pembrokeshire.”

August 2019 - “Thank you so much for hosting us again. We’ve had such a lovely time camping down in the woods, exploring the jungle eating the blackberries, drinking coffee on the lawn, eating marshmallows and drinking rum beside the fire underneath the stars, riding bikes, visiting beautiful beaches and generally felling so relaxed in such beautiful surroundings. But we’ll be back - it’s a tradition now!” (Visitors book review)

July 2020 - The PERFECT campsite! We loved every minute of our 10 day stay. Frances and Gordon have created something very special here, the site is just beautiful and they are such warm, natural hosts.

The facilities are first rate and (because of covid restrictions) we had a shower, compost toilet and sink to ourselves. All worked faultlessly.

The site is peaceful, quiet and all the other campers are friendly. It was mostly families staying when we were there so our kids ran off with the other children and we usually only saw them at meal times. Got through 2 books. Perfect!

Newgale beach is less than 5 mins drive and there are lots of beautiful walks from the site (as well around it).

We left feeling relaxed, happy and looking forward to many more visits.

August 2020 - The perfect place to get away from it all in the gorgeous Pembrokeshire countryside. Close to the beaches but tucked in a valley so away from the wind. The new composting loo / hot shower / sink with hot water units on most pitches are excellent. The effort to get your kit up and down the track to the sites is hard work, but worth it for the quiet and the freedom the just let the kids roam. Highly recommend.

August 2020 - Had such an amazing time at the campsite, the best we’ve ever stayed at. We had a woodland pitch and felt so secluded. Gordon and Fran were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back!!

August 2020 - We spent 2 weeks in August at Bon Camping. As a family (2 young boys) we were desperate to escape from the world for a couple of weeks, get back to nature and have some quality family time. Bon Camping was the perfect environment for this and we had a fantastic time. Fran and Gordon were extremely accommodating and perfect hosts - always checking in on us as we braved 2 storms!
We will definitely be back. This is a really special part of the world and a great place to unwind.
Thanks, Fran and Gordon.

August 2020 - My family and I have just come back from a week stay at Bon Camping. I’ve never camped in such a beautiful location. We stayed in the woods. The pitch was large, secluded and nestled beautifully in the woodland. I’ve never stayed anywhere like it before. The owners were so welcoming and lovely. We will definitely be going back.
