Friendly Club opens 1,500th site in Pembrokeshire

by Chris Jefferies
The Camping and Caravanning club has celebrated a major milestone this week after it opened its 1,500th Certified Site in the UK.
Dyfed Shire Horse Farm in Pembrokeshire is a “secluded and picturesque” spot, the Friendly Club claims, and members can enjoy free access to all the farm’s facilities during their stay, including toilets, showers and an on-site shop.
Furthermore, you can pre-order breakfasts or lunches during your stay, and a farm trail is available, featuring Shire horses, rare-breed pigs and sheep, as well as donkey rides.
Site owner, Huw Murphy, said: “As campers with two young children ourselves, we wanted to provide a smaller, less commercialised site similar to those we often look for when booking our own holidays.”
The site is open until October 31st at a price of £16 per night, but it can only accommodate a maximum of five caravans or motorhomes, so those looking for a rural break in the Welsh countryside are advised to book in advance.
Certified Sites are only available to members of the Camping and Caravanning Club. Membership costs £39 per year, plus a £10 joining fee.
