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.

On average, it's about a 3-4 minute walk to your pitch, depending on your level of fitness. Secluded woodland pitches takes just over 5 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
