Family and other activities
There are many possibilities. St. David's itself is a nice place to spend a morning or afternoon. The main tourist attraction is the cathedral, but there are plenty of interesting shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants there too.
There are several good beaches very nearby. Caerfai bay is a pleasant walk along the cliffs from the campsite, a deep cove with high cliffs and sandy beach. Whitesands bay is a short drive to the other side of St. David's and is a huge wide sandy beach with local "facilities".
If you like birds, Ramsey Island is very close and Skomer Island about an hour's drive, both of which have a short ferry service. Skomer in particular is known for it's puffin colony. At this time of the year they're nesting all over the island, so there should be plenty to be seen.
If you are looking for a bit of action, there's the TYF adventure centre in St. Davids that runs coasteering, rock climbing and surfing, as well as sea kayaking.
There are also lots of interesting small local villages dotted around the coastline of the peninsular, often with a good pub (beer and food) or ice cream.
