National Trust gets approval for seasonal landpods and campervans in Pembrokeshire
Original source: Herald.Wales

In Brief

Plans by the National Trust to diversify a campsite on the Pembrokeshire coast have been approved. The 4.5-hectare site at Gupton Farm near Freshwater West will feature five landpods and 20 campervans, with total capacity unchanged at 100 people and 50 pitches per night.

The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Development Committee has approved the National Trust's application for a change of land use to allow seasonal placement of 20 campervans and five landpods at Gupton Farm, near Freshwater West. The 4.5-hectare site will operate as a seasonal campsite.

The project does not increase overall capacity (50 pitches, 100 people) but reallocates accommodation types in favour of motorhomes. Landpods will be removed from December to February. The decision was made considering the seasonal nature, lack of permanent utilities, and landscape conservation measures.

Pembrokeshire caravan site seeks approval for static caravans in National Park

Keith Stevens of Tudor Glen Caravan Park, Jameston, has applied to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park for a certificate of lawfulness to confirm that a 1988 planning permission allows static caravans, not just touring ones. The applicant argues the original consent for up to 50 caravans does not specify type or require removal during close season. The six-acre park also accommodates motorhomes and tents.

Couple sells house to buy abandoned campsite in Wales

In June 2022, Jon and Emilie James sold their home for £132,000 and purchased a former miners' campsite in Llanelli, South Wales, abandoned since 1989. Over three years, they transformed the littered plot into an off-grid glamping site with a tiny house and sauna, spending £90,000 on the purchase and leaving £500 in their account. The couple lived without electricity and hot water, learning construction from YouTube tutorials. The project has attracted thousands of followers online.
