Carn Springs

Liked Everything! Very quiet, peaceful and well kept site. Facilities were very clean and well presented. Small shop on site. Close to Saundersfoot and Tenby along with lots of attractions. Owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be returning.

Disliked Having to leave!

Liked This was our very first time camping - but we have been staying in and around Saundersfoot for almost 30 years so know the area really well. Having passed by Carn Springs many times whilst on holiday and thought what a lovely place it looked, it only seemed right that we should embark on our new camping adventures here. On our arrival (Friday of May Half Term) Linda showed us to our pitch which was right by the lake, where to leave or rubbish (all recycled) and where the nearest loo/shower block was located (nice and close but not too close). The block offered several cubicles with a loo, shower and wash basin altogether which was much appreciated and always clean during our stay. Everyone visiting (a mix of older couples and young families plus some well behaved dogs) seemed friendly and considerate which we really appreciated as we had read many horror stories (not about Carn Springs but camping in general) about disturbed nights, loud music and so naturally we were a little nervous. We need not have been. Linda came round to check on us each evening (armed with enormous marshmallows) and asked if we needed anything. She could not have been more helpful. We also noticed that she was not afraid to remind people of the rules (drive no faster than 5mph onsite/no fishing in the lake etc) and she did so kindly. Our pitch was even and faced the lake catching the sunshine all day (when it appeared). You need to know that there is virtually no wi-fi here and no facilities for children. Both of these aspects were a plus for us and it was refreshing to watch children happily making their own fun, connecting with family and nature - surely what camping is all about. When it was time to leave (Monday), we realised it hadn't only been us camping in the tent, but a hole host of tiny frogs that had made their way from the lake and got between the footprint and the base of the tent where it was dark and damp! Thankfully none made their way home with us. Lucky them - they get to stay at Carn Springs.

Disliked .....nothing about the site. The road that runs past Carn Springs has always been a quiet country road, but it is now used as a cut-through between two main roads and can sometimes be noisy. This is no fault of the site and is just indicative of the increase in road traffic and inconsiderate drivers.

Liked Owner was there to meet us she(sorry forgot her name)was great explain the site and showed us to are pitch.
Peaceful and a lake side pitch was great

Disliked WiFi bit expansive for me

Liked Definitely 10/10, our favourite place to stay so far. The site has an outstanding view overlooking the lake, there are colourful lights dotted around the grounds at night. The host was very warm and welcoming, Welsh cakes and marshmallows were a hit with the wife! clean facilities, ideal location- Tenby and Saundersfoot just a small drive away. We will be back! 😀❤️

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Liked This campsite was really quiet and peaceful. The lake is lovely and my boys loved seeing the ducks, and hearing them in the morning.
The pitch was pretty level and we appreciated being able to park at the pitch. The picnic bench was a lovely addition.
We were a short walk from the toilet/shower block nearest the entrance (there are 2 toilet / shower blocks), which was always very clean and tidy, as was the large washing up area.
We didn't know prior to arriving about the dog shower, and while we didn't use it on this occasion, I can 100% see it being useful on a longer / muddier trip.
The location on the campsite is fantastic for visiting many attractions in the area (Heatherton, Wildlife, Dinosaur Park) as well as Tenby and Saundersfoot.
The staff members on site to welcome us and say goodbye were lovely and we appreciated the Welsh cakes. We were even lucky with the weather!
We'll definitely be making another trip.

Disliked We were a little disappointed not to have a fire pit with marshmallows like other reviewers have had, but understand that this might be due to us visiting out of season.
We were also disappointed that the tumble dryer when we went to use it.

Liked Lovely bathroom like having an ensuite.
Beautiful site, nice owner.

Disliked Only one bus per day to surrounding towns.

Liked Lovely friendly owners, peaceful site lake view was beautiful, spotless toilet/shower block. Looking forward to returning soon.
