★ ✶ Our adventures under the stars . . .

Breakfast pancakes on the beach! Classic bacon, maple syrup and blueberries. ? Starting the year as we mean to go on, by cooking outside. It takes a strong intent (and strong arms!) to cook on Barafundle, as the beach is only accessible on foot or by sea. Watch this space for more news of what's cooking on the campsite later this year. #stackpolecamp #diningout #outdoorcooking #cookingwithfire #beachbreakfast

A strong start, 2021. Deal us all some more good stuff would ya? Happy New Year all, may it be full of adventure in surprising ways. #stackpolecamp #barafundlebay #upatdawn #seethesunrise #newyearsunrise #visitpembrokeshire #pembscoast #wales #frostybeach #frozensand #moonlitbeach

$We wanted snow but we'll settle for this lunar halo above the camping field last night, caused by the cold weather. Evidently this can happen when moonlight is refracted through ice crystals in the earth's atmosphere. Pardon the pun but it was VERY cool (and for once my moon photo actually looks like the moon and not a whitehead ?) #stackpolecamp #nofilter #lunarhalo #fullmoon$

Something to look forward to. ? #stackpolecamp #nationaltruststackpole #bluebells #hope #springwillcomeagain

The lily ponds are so high now, the waterfall has carved out new sand cliffs on the beach. And we had to do some serious off-piste on the way there (**swipe**) as the paths are flooded higher than we've ever known. And this was before Storm Bella fully blasted into town last night! Hope everyone is safe and dry and that in spite of storms and restrictions you are able to get some nature in your bones. #stackpolecamp #bosherstonlilyponds #broadhavensouth #nationaltruststackpole #stormbella

Christmas may be different from how you imagined this year, but be sure to cling onto those magical moments with all of your being. Thank you, from all of ours, for your kindness and support this year. We wish you a happy and healthy Christmas, one and all. Laura, Stan and Ossian xxxx #stackpolecamp #getoutside #outdooradventure #beinnature #itsawonderfulworld #santaschristmasrobin

Merepool Valley, all filled up with rain and Scottish-looking. If you've been to Broad Haven South beach but never explored the valley behind the dunes, you're doing it wrong! ? (There's usually a footpath here!) #stackpolecamp #broadhavensouth #therainitrainetheveryday #nationaltruststackpole

This Shortest Day, As promise wakens in the sleeping land: They carol, feast, give thanks, And dearly love their friends, And hope for peace. And now so do we, here, now, This year and every year. Welcome, Yule! From 'The Shortest Day' by Susan Cooper #stackpolecamp #wintersolstice #wintersolstice2020 #shortestday #barafundlebay

It's been a daily challenge lately to find the break in the wind or rain to walk the dog in that elusive "best part" of the day. We have lucked out many times including at Broad Haven yesterday where the sunlight suddenly sneaks up on you like this. ? #stackpolecamp #breakintheweather #sunlight #broadhavensouth #welshbeaches #pembscoast #igerspembrokeshire

Exploring the submerged forest at Amroth at low tide. So cool seeing whole tree trunks exposed. AND... I saw an otter in the stream! Very exciting! Typically I had just put away my camera ?‍♀️so now you'll never believe me! #stackpolecamp #hiddenforest #submergedforest #ancientwoodland #pembscoast #visitpembrokeshire

Another raging torrent that used to be a stream, this time at Fresh West. This weather is transforming the beaches. #stackpolecamp #freshwaterwestbeach #winterstorms #wintersunset

It's rained a bit at Fresh East! If you're familiar with this beach and its meandering little stream in summer, it's barely recognisable when it's in flood and can take all sorts of different courses over one winter. #stackpolecamp #freshwatereast #ragingtorrent #thepowerofnature

Aaahhh it hurts my eyes! Bless us trying out our first fancy Insta-doodah to draw attention to our gift vouchers! ? Vouchers of any amount are available to buy on our website. Who wouldn't want the promise of outdoor adventure for Christmas? Your voucher will be emailed to the purchaser and/or recipient so there's no need to worry about the Christmas post. Link in bio. #stackpolecamp #givethegiftofadventure #outdooradventure #christmasgiftvouchers

Hands up who likes playing "Who can find the best pebble on the beach?" ? Dragon egg and St Govan's Chapel in the space of 5 feet. Surely unbeatable...isn't it? Show your hands, people! What have you got? #stackpolecamp #beachfinds #stgovanschapel #dragoneggs #freshwatereast #pebblybeach #pembscoast #visitpembrokeshire #takenothingbutphotos

Stan's Christmas wish is that 2021 will be the year we finally get our outdoor kitchen up and running on the campsite. He is planning experimental Christmas Day barbecued turkey (whatever the weather) so here he is testing out the cider brine. Colourful innit? #stackpolecamp #cookingwithfire #outdoorcooking #campfirechristmas #kotlichcooking

Just too lovely to ignore ? #stackpolecamp #wintersunrise #beautyeverywhere

Whatever your feelings about the new vaccine, sunrise at Barafundle remains a beautiful and hopeful sight to behold. #stackpolecamp #barafundlebay #rays #glimmerofhope #visitpembrokeshire

First frost under the morning moonlight on a verrrry peaceful camping field. #stackpolecamp #winteriscoming #firstfrost #andthentheyweregone

Aaaaarrrrgghh! A monster is about to devour the headland at Fresh East! We saw the beach in a whole new light today. It's well worth exploring the far east end at low tide, it's full of hidden scrambles, rock pools and teeny coves. #stackpolecamp #freshwatereast #winterwalks #visitpembrokeshire #pembscoast

Half blue sky and half cloud...well that just about sums up our fluctuating feelings today. Having planned to reopen tomorrow after our break that followed the Welsh lockdown, we have now taken the decision to remain closed until after Christmas. We don't yet know whether Wales will reopen its borders - at the moment you cannot travel into or out of the country, and because we are also limited on pitch availability due to ground conditions it is just not viable for us to reopen. With coronavirus infection rates rising even here now too, it feels the right thing to do. We hope to be able to honour our existing bookings between Christmas and New Year, but this will depend on Covid-19 guidelines. Please check the Covid-19 page on our website (link in bio). Thank you again for your continued support and we're so sorry to disappoint some of you. #stackpolecamp #whatayear #keepwalessafe

Bosherston Lily Ponds is on our doorstep and it's part of a National Nature Reserve in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. If you've only ever been in spring or summer, here's a taste of how it looks in autumn. Flippin' lush. #stackpolecamp #beautyeverywhere #nationalnaturereserve #nationaltruststackpole #pembscoast

Forgot to include this pic of Druidstone in the last post! Yet again that Pembrokeshire coastline - so dramatic. #stackpolecamp #druidstone #walescoastpath #pembrokeshirecoastpath

Picnic lunch in a cave, shower in a waterfall...what more could you want from a Sunday in November? Druidstone Haven. Absolute belter of a beach, about 40 minutes' drive from the campsite. #stackpolecamp #lunchinacave #druidstone #picnicinnovember #alwaysoutside #beachwaterfall

Mesmerised by the lichen lines on the rocks at West Angle Bay in the morning sun...and (scroll) the sunbeam shining down on those righteous folk at @wavecrest_angle #stackpolecamp #beautyeverywhere #morningsun

Perhaps it's my 2020 mood but I'm really craving those giant pieces of vanilla fudge on the beach. It's another murky day here so here's a spot of September sunshine at Monkstone, in case you're shrouded in murk too. #stackpolecamp #beachheaven #dreamingoffudge #comebacksun #pembscoast #visitpembrokeshire

No matter your choice of campsite crib - and we've seen all sorts - we'd love to share our stars with you! Camping pitch bookings now looking a bit tight for July and August 2021 so get in quick if you're hoping to join us. P.S. If you spot yourself or your set-up, say hello! #stackpolecamp #summer2021 #staycation2021 #campinginwales #campinginpembrokeshire

Fast forward to spring 2021! If you've been trying to book one of our safari tents between Easter and June next year you will have had no luck, due to a glitch in our booking system which our new favourite customer has just pointed out today! So please know: we are not fully booked and there is plenty of safari tent availability left in spring 2021! #stackpolecamp #safaritentglamping #glampinginwales #spring2021

We've loved the moody skies recently, bringing out all the colours on the coast. Ooh, and swipe to see our favourite coloured rock at Fresh West - we call it The Hulk Fist ? #stackpolecamp #freshwaterwest #autumnlight #lookslikehulk

Fun with sea foam in the gorgeous evening light at Broad Haven South beach. The giggling is on account of the invigorating feeling of being literally slapped in the face by nature. #stackpolecamp #vitaminsea #autumnlight #naturestherapy

Thank you weather gods for finally giving us two dry and calm days to take down our yurts for winter hibernation. We look forward to the day we put them both up again in the spring... ??? #stackpolecamp #yurts #yurtglamping #glamping2021 #handcrafted

Hey rock fans! We ain't no rock gurus here at Stackpole Under The Stars but we do know that the coastline round these parts is pretty special. Scroll these pics and on this one beach you'll see an incredible variety of rock formations. The diversity of rocks in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park (its 'geodoversity') is the main reason why this coastline won its protected 'National Park' status back in 1952. Nowhere else in the UK can boast this! #stackpolecamp #pembscoast #uknationalparks #geodiversity

Need an easy Christmas gift that you don't need to deliver or post? Stackpole Under The Stars gift vouchers are now available to purchase on our website (link in bio). You can choose any amount and the voucher is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. The recipient will receive the voucher by email, then they just get in touch with us to arrange their 2021 camping or glamping stay. #stackpolecamp #giftvouchers #giftideas #shopsmall

Halloween, Samhain...or just a plain old windy Saturday night in autumn, we wish you fun, laughter and good health. Do you spot the camping themed carving? #stackpolecamp #pumpkincarving #vwcampervan #lostholidays #lockdowncrafts #stayhome #keepwalessafe

Happy Friday everyone! The beach is our Amber's happy place. Where is yours? #stackpolecamp #dogsofinstagram #clumberdoodle #dogsonbeach #beachdogwalks #dogswhocamp

Beautiful autumn colours around the stormy shoreline right now. #stackpolecamp #beautyeverywhere #autumnvibes? #visitpembrokeshirelater

Rainbows at sunrise this morning at Broad Haven South beach. Posting pretty pictures of places other people can't get to during lockdown is a treacherous thing... Let us know, should we do it or not?! #stackpolecamp #staylocal #lockdownwalks #dailyexercise

We're back to just 3 people and a dog for a little while. Back into lockdown we go, wishing everyone well and with MUCH thanks for your continued support. #stackpolecamp #freshwaterwest #sanddunes #staysafe

Welsh Government is imposing a 2-week 'fire-break' lockdown across Wales from this Friday 23 October, meaning we must close the campsite again. If this affects your booking, please read the info on the Covid-19 page of our website. For full lockdown details visit gov.wales Meanwhile here is a picture of Broadhaven South, our local beach. Always a sanctuary, lockdown or not. #stackpolecamp #stayhome

After a week or so of P & Q we are open again and looking forward to seeing happy campers back on these pitches and sharing more amazing October skies (this was last night). #stackpolecamp #beautyeverywhere #octoberskies #autumncamping #campinginwales
