 What a super site! Really friendly owner too. We had a pitch with one of the big picnic benches and it was brilliant, made outdoors cooking/eating/socialising so much more pleasant.
The views from the field we were in are stunning and the area is so peaceful. If you like walking there are plenty of local routes.Grab a map and go!
There is a handy shortcut path from the campsite into Newport itself which is signposted off the driveway too!
The showers are awesome! I have never been in a shower so big on a campsite. There is none of the cramped balancing acts to be had that you get in some places. One is more of a 'wet room' than a shower.
There are plenty of sinks to wash up in and a tap to get hot water from.
In all a lovely, peaceful and very well kept site. I loved it and will visit again.

I hadn't been to this site for a few years, but instantly remembered why I used to use it so often!
We arrived at about 10.30pm, within 5 minutes Mr Harris had called by and invited us to a little gathering 'and bring a glass with you'.
By midnight we had got to know practically everyone on site.
Loads of space and the views are fantastic, having a picnic style table available made cooking and eating so much more pleasant.
We enjoyed a 5 hour walk the next day, found what we needed locally (including wild garlic) and a really good shower when we got back.
Sunday morning saw a car struggling to pull its caravan back out of the field (bad driving) the owners were there in no time to pull them out without having been asked.
Very welcoming, very friendly and such a stunning and well kept camping field.
I notice some negative reviews, very typical of some people's attitudes, those that show respect are treated with respect!
Its camping after all, not a 5 star hotel.
Relax and enjoy the site, it really is a special one.

Make sure you confirm the price with the owner before you pitch tent. We were charged £120 for two nights for two 4 man tents (4 adults and 4 children) which we felt was outrageous.The amenities are very basic and not that clean. The view is fantastic but the town is a bit of a walk away if you're not keen on walking too far. Also, much of the site is sloping so you have to make adjustments for caravans etc.
There is no playground for children at the campsite.

Accueil très agréable par un gentil grand père circulant sur son Quad . :-)
Il nous proposera des champs complets pour nous installer. D'innombrables possibilités s'offrent à nous. Finalement nous choisirons le haut d'un des champs permettant ainsi une vue inoubliable et exceptionelle sur la mer.
En tracteur, le grand père viendra nous installer une table et des chaises pour déjeuner en plein air : une délicate attention que je salue.
L'électricité est présente aux normes internationales (prises bleues).
Les toilettes et les sanitaires sont un peu 'justes' pour la capacité des terrains. Mais en CC cela ne pose pas de problème majeur.
Tout cela sent bon le camping authentique et ce fut un vrai plaisir de parcourir le sentier du littoral au bout du champs pour découvrir de merveilleux paysages marins.
A recommander aux amoureux de la naure, la vraie. :-)
Very pleasant with a nice grandfather running on his Quad. :-)
We offer full scope for us to install. Countless opportunities ahead. Finally we choose the top of a field to a memorable and exceptional view on the sea
Tractor, the grandfather we will install a table and chairs for breakfast in the open air: a delicate attention which I welcome.
Electricity is introduced to international standards (taken blue).
Toilets and bathrooms are a bit 'fair' for the capacity of the land. But in DC it does not pose a major problem.
All this smells authentic camping and it was a real pleasure to browse the Coastal Trail at the end of the field to discover wonderful seascapes.
To recommend to lovers of naura, true. :-)

Being new to camping, this being our first camp holiday and not really knowing what to expect in the way of facilities etc, We were very impressed with Tycanol, Mr Harries made us feel very welcome.
The site was very clean and tidy, facilities were more than adequate, we will definitely be visiting again in the near future, a hidden gem on the pembrokeshire coast.

Will be using this site again and would recommend the site to anyone. Facilities are basic but were spotless, the owner was very friendly and stopped to talk and check if everything was ok everyday. Views from the site are fantastic and the site gives easy access to the coast path.The provision of the picnic table was a nice touch. Look forward to returning in September.

I am sorry to see the negative reviews of this site - our experience was was that it is superb and I have no doubt that we will return. The views across Newport Bay are perfect, you get a huge amount of space and the owner comes round two or three times a day to make sure all is well.
Yes, the toilets, showers and washing up facilities are basic, but they are clean and free. The one thing that I think could be added without detracting from the spirit of the place would be drying facilities - rain is not unknown in Pembrokeshire! A modern toilet and shower block wouldn't come amiss but that *would* change the character for the worse. Our children love to make use of the play areas on campsites but there are so many things in the hedgerows to look at and so much space to run around in that they didn't even notice that there isn't one here.
It was quiet when we were there (Whitsun half term), I can believe that the facilities would be under strain if the site were busy and no, it's not the cheapest site - but you don't get that much space and that perfect a location for nothing. As others have reported varying prices I'll include that we were told that the price would be £20 for the caravan with 2 adults plus the camping rate of £7.50 per extra person, which would have taken us to £35/night but we were offered a price of £25/night - and no, we don't speak Welsh.
A thoroughly enjoyable week.
Take blocks and chocks!

This site saved our holiday. We were having a torrid time at another site on the Pembrokeshire coast which was too filthy for words, so deciding to up sticks and move, we spent a precious morning of our two-week holiday inspecting other sites on the coast. Tycanol hit the spot in providing exactly what we wanted. This is a well-maintained site, perched on the cliffs above the estuary of the Nevern at Newport, with direct access to the coastal path and really stunning views of the beach, cliffs etc. The facilities, though neither numerous nor new, were clean and well stocked, although I can imagine that in high season there might be queues (our visit was in September). Two showers with good flows and decently hot water, one washing-up sink, four basins, four loos (two for each sex), a couple of urinals and a disposal point were on offer along with drinking water taps etc. Hot water is included in the very reasonable off-season £7.00 per head/day we were charged (huge tent plus dog and hook-up included!). The owner of the site, Mr. Harries, could not have been more helpful and the regular visitors, many of whom appear to keep their caravans on site for the whole season, were welcoming and equally helpful (we got together with some of them for an impromptu BBQ in the shelter provided with free-to-use large gas-fired griddle plate and gas). We loved this place and will make this our base next time we are in Pembrokeshire.

Just spent bank holiday weekend at Tycanol and feel totally ripped off. It appears the prices were hiked up for the bank holiday and that we don't speak welsh!
We paid £20 per night for 2 persons in a motorhome with electric hook-up however a friend of ours went there the previous week and was charged considerably less but he is welsh speaking. The toilets were without toilet paper for the greater part of the weekend and even though they advertise as providing a free barbeque we have never witnessed it. The showers could have been hotter.
Yes the views are good but are they really worth all that money

Keep away !
The man is a nice man but if I receive £20 a night (£10 Ea ) I would be. Talking to ppl on the site it has not been up dated for 20 yrs. One small toilet block serving at least 6 acres of campers . This said block had plant life climbing though every orifice, lacked in paper and cleaning was just a quick hose down during 0830 and 0930 when we all want to use them.
No other facility's are on the site.
I was planning on a three night stay but moved on after the first night , my partner could not even face breakfast due to the smell from the local sewage plant.
Three over parties also left the same morning due to the conditions.
