Camping and glamping in Carmarthen

Hinterland pitches — book peak weeks; this is a county town, not a beach strip.

Camping from Carmarthen is hinterland and Tywi-side rather than a coastal park — Llansteffan spit is a different day on the same taxi table. Check hook-up and whether the pitch is actually near town.
