cae du campsite — Cae Du Campsite In Wales

If you’re looking for a seaside campsite for your next summer holiday or even just fancy a weekend away by the sea, we’re here to help! We’ve done the research for you, and have rounded up a selection of seaside campsites and holiday parks, many of which we’ve actually stayed at ourselves.

If you’re not sure whether camping for an entire week is for you, then why not go for a self catering lodge or a static caravan at a Haven holiday park or similar?
