Why hire a campervan or motorhome in South West Wales
South West Wales — a region worth exploring
South West Wales is home to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, the only coastal national trail in the UK, stretching 186 miles from St Dogmaels to Amroth through some of the most varied coastal scenery in Britain. The region encompasses Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the Tywi Valley, and the Gower Peninsula — the first area in the UK to be designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty back in 1956. From Tenby's pastel-coloured harbour to the cathedral city of St Davids, the smallest city in the United Kingdom, there is a remarkable concentration of history and landscape packed into a compact area. The drive from Carmarthen to St Davids covers roughly 58 miles, while Swansea to Tenby is around 47 miles, making South West Wales wonderfully manageable for a touring holiday. Quiet country lanes wind past Iron Age hill forts, Norman castles like Pembroke and Kidwelly, and broad sandy beaches such as Rhossili Bay and Barafundle Bay. The coastline is ideal for campervan travel, with well-spaced stopping points and plenty of smaller roads suited to all vehicle sizes. Whether you prefer a compact campervan for narrow lanes or a larger motorhome for family comfort, Yescapa connects you directly with local owners across South West Wales, giving you a genuine choice of vehicles and flexible pick-up options to start your adventure right where you want it.
Best time to visit
South West Wales is at its liveliest from May to September, when long daylight hours open up the coast for walking, surfing, and wildlife watching — puffins nest on Skomer Island from late April to mid-July. The Tenby Arts Festival in late September offers a quieter cultural highlight as the summer crowds ease. Campsites across Pembrokeshire and Gower are generally open from Easter through October, with the best pitch availability in May, June, and early September. Hiring a campervan through Yescapa during shoulder months often means more competitive pricing from local owners, and you still get mild, pleasant conditions for exploring South West Wales at your own pace.
The best road trips in South West Wales
To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travellers.
The Pembrokeshire Coastal Loop
95 km 3–6 days
Start in Haverfordwest and trace the coast south through Broad Haven and Marloes before reaching St Davids. Continue to Fishguard and loop back inland — roughly 95 km of quiet lanes ideal for a campervan, with clifftop parking spots and seasonal campsite pitches along the way.
Gower Peninsula Circuit
80 km 3–5 days
From Swansea, head west across the Gower to Rhossili Bay, then follow the south coast through Oxwich and Port Eynon. At around 80 km, this short loop suits a compact campervan and includes some of South West Wales's finest beaches, plus the Gower Heritage Centre near Parkmill.
Carmarthenshire and Tywi Valley Trail
190 km 5–8 days
Drive from Llandeilo through the Tywi Valley, visiting Dinefwr Park and Carreg Cennen Castle, before heading south to Laugharne — Dylan Thomas's home town. This 190 km route through South West Wales mixes rolling farmland with estuary views, and motorhome-friendly sites are plentiful near Carmarthen.
Saints and Castles Route
260 km 5–8 days
Link Kidwelly Castle, Pembroke Castle, and St Davids Cathedral on a 260 km tour that traces the southern coast of South West Wales. The A477 and A4075 keep the driving straightforward for a motorhome, with well-equipped campsites at Saundersfoot and Whitland for overnight stops.
The Full Pembrokeshire Coast
340 km 7–11 days
Follow the entire Pembrokeshire coastline from Amroth to St Dogmaels, dipping inland to Preseli Hills and Castell Henllys Iron Age Village. At 340 km, this route needs a week or more and rewards slow travel in a campervan, with wild headlands, sheltered harbours, and quiet lanes throughout South West Wales.
Grand South West Wales Explorer
520 km 10–15 days
Combine Gower, Carmarthenshire, and Pembrokeshire in one 520 km journey. Begin in Swansea, cross the Gower, follow the coast to Tenby, then head north to Newport and the Preseli Hills before returning via Cardigan. A spacious motorhome keeps the whole family comfortable on this extended South West Wales adventure.

Campsites and road information in South West Wales
Recommended campsites
South West Wales offers a wide spread of campsites, from clifftop pitches overlooking the Pembrokeshire coast to sheltered inland sites in the Tywi Valley. Many provide hardstanding and electric hook-ups suitable for motorhomes, while smaller grass pitches work well for campervans.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in South West Wales
South West Wales is served by the M4 motorway as far as Pont Abraham near Swansea, after which the A48 and A40 carry you westward into Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. There are no toll roads in the region. Speed limits for motorhomes over 3.05 tonnes are 50 mph on single carriageways and 60 mph on dual carriageways. Many rural roads in Pembrokeshire are single-track with passing places, so a compact campervan can be easier to manoeuvre. Rest areas and lay-bys are well signposted along the A40 and A477, and fuel stations become less frequent west of Haverfordwest, so plan your fill-ups accordingly.
Frequently asked questions
Prices for campervan hire in South West Wales typically range from around £60 to £130 per night, depending on the vehicle size, season, and spec. Compact two-berth vans sit at the lower end, while larger motorhomes with full kitchens and bathrooms cost more. Because Yescapa is a peer-to-peer platform, you hire directly from local owners, which often means better value and more flexibility than traditional hire companies.
Through Yescapa, you can arrange to collect a motorhome from owners based in and around Swansea, Carmarthen, and Haverfordwest — the three main hubs in South West Wales. Some owners also offer pick-up in smaller towns like Tenby or Llanelli. Because vehicles are listed by private owners across the region, you can often find a convenient collection point close to where you want to start your trip.
Travelling in May, June, or September rather than peak summer helps keep costs down. On Yescapa, you can filter by price, compare different owners' rates, and message them directly to discuss longer-hire discounts. Booking well ahead for South West Wales also widens your choice of vehicles. Midweek departures and flexible dates give you the best chance of securing a competitively priced campervan or motorhome for your trip.
For couples or solo travellers, a two-berth campervan handles Pembrokeshire's narrow lanes with ease and fits into smaller coastal car parks. Families of four or five are better suited to a four- or six-berth motorhome, which offers more living space and storage for longer trips around South West Wales. On Yescapa, each listing includes berth count, dimensions, and photos, so you can match the vehicle to your group size and route.
Yes — a good number of owners on Yescapa welcome dogs in their vehicles, and you can filter specifically for pet-friendly listings. South West Wales is a great region for dogs, with miles of coastal paths, dog-friendly beaches at Broad Haven and Newgale, and many campsites that accept pets. Always check the owner's pet policy on their Yescapa listing for any specific requirements before you book.
What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in South West Wales
Annemijn
5 / 5
Very nice owners, kind and flexible! The camper van was easy to understand, and comfortable to use - above expectation. Thank you!!

4 / 5
Paloma was a pleasure to drive and really comfortable for our family of four. The van was equipped with everything we needed, beds were spacious and had safety nets, the shower and toilet were very handy, there was plenty of storage space and lots of room to move around. Susana was really helpful and accommodating and very easy to communicate with throughout our trip. The only disappointing aspect is that the fridge did not work, and the freezer only worked when plugged in. While the freezer was ok for keeping some items cool, it did make things considerably more difficult for us - we were travelling with 2 young children and cooked for ourselves most evenings. It was frustrating having to visit a shop every day/every other day and we ended up having to bin quite a lot of food. It is a shame this wasn't mentioned in the listing as it would have impacted our decision to book the van. Every other aspect was faultless and despite the issue with the fridge we had a really wonderful 2 week adventure in Paloma. We would definitely recommend if you are happy to operate without a fridge and can rely on the freezer.
