Erwlon Caravan & Camping Park in Llandovery and South Wales Touring Park at Llwynifan Farm near Llanelli feature in Premier Parks’ collection of the best campsites and touring parks across the UK.

Two family-run Carmarthenshire touring parks have been named Premier Parks after site inspections. Erwlon Caravan & Camping Park sits on the edge of Llandovery, while South Wales Touring Park at Llwynifan Farm is based at Llangennech near Llanelli.

Both have long family histories in the county. The Rees family established Erwlon alongside their dairy farm in the 1950s and the park is now into its third generation. At Llwynifan Farm, Hywel and his family moved to the farm in June 1976 and are marking 50 years there in 2026. The touring park followed in 1985 and is now run by brother and sister Hywel and Cathrin.

The parks are part of a Carmarthenshire visitor economy which the county council says now contributes an estimated £764 million a year. Erwlon gives visitors a base close to Llandovery, the Cambrian Mountains and Bannau Brycheiniog, with separate family and adults-only areas, while the 25-pitch Llwynifan Farm park is adults-only and sits around a mile from junction 48 of the M4.

Premier Parks brings together around 100 campsites and touring parks across the UK. Before a park can join the collection, it is visited and assessed by the Premier Parks team or one of its contributors, looking at areas including the pitches, facilities, landscaping, setting and what visitors can access nearby.

Jack Hart, a spokesperson for Premier Parks, said:

“Erwlon Caravan & Camping Park and South Wales Touring Park at Llwynifan Farm are a really good fit for Premier Parks. They have their own characters, strong settings and give people a real reason to stay in the area, which is exactly what we look for when putting the collection together.”

Further details about Erwlon Caravan & Camping Park and South Wales Touring Park, including facilities and booking information, can be found through their profile on thePremier Parks website.
