  • On a 250-acre National Trust farm with stunning sea views
  • Wildlife haven five minutes' walk from the Pembrokeshire Coast Path
  • Firewood or charcoal available to buy for campfires and barbecues
In an utterly lush location just four miles north of St Davids, Celtic Camping in Pembrokeshire is based on the 250-acre working and wildlife-laden National Trust farm of Pwll Caerog, part of which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. And then there’s the beach: the pebbly cove of Aber Pwll is at the foot of the farm about five minutes’ walk away. You’ll be reeling with glee at the views from all around here, right across the Irish Sea and Abereiddy Bay with slate quarry-filled Blue Lagoon, a deeply desirable spot for diving and twice host of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series. If you want walkies, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path is about 500 metres from the farm and coastal trails run from Abereiddy to the village of Porthgain in one direction, and to Whitesands Bay via St Davids Head in the other. This is a relaxed and friendly site with loads of space for all: dogs, families, individuals and couples included. Toilets and showers are cleaned and maintained on a regular basis by a dedicated cleaning team. During peak season, the site opens up a restaurant for breakfast and evening meals. There's a shop on site during high season, as well as musical entertainment every Saturday evening during the summer months. The site also has a large temporary indoor dining area, but you might reckon this is one of the most viewsome places around to eat alfresco: campfires and barbecues are – naturally – allowed, and firewood or charcoal can be bought from the amiable Celtic Camping team.

What customers say

Fantastic sea views & coastal path access. Staff are brilliant & facilities (hot showers!) are spotless. Pitches are roomy with a relaxed vibe. Can be breezy & some pitches are sloped, but it's a hit for location & features.

Lower Abereiddi Field electric grass pitch

Liked Stunning view, absolutely breathtakingly close to the coast. Truly beautiful.

Disliked Wind trap (all directions) which unfortunately cut our trip short. The wind was relentless and due to its location meant that very little sleep was had.

Lower Abereiddi Field non-electric grass pitch

Liked All the facilities were great and the location was perfect

Disliked Our only gripe was that there were other campers who were being SO loud until around 4am (it was the bank holiday weekend) no enforcement given to be respectful of others.

Lower Abereiddi Field non-electric grass pitch

Liked I really enjoyed my stay. It was the bank holiday so it was busy, there’s aways one group that can be annoying. However I let staff know of the situation and it was handled immediately. Absolute legend with 2 german shepherds helped me out! The problem was solved, very grateful as the rest of my stay was great. View was amazing also!

Tony S.

Lower Abereiddi Field electric grass pitch

Liked Amazing views. The nearby coastal path leading the the blue lagoon.

Disliked The toilet and shower block were unclean and not enough for the size of the campsite. The pitch we had was really unsuitable for a campervan and we had to purchase blocks to level the van and even then we were on a slant. Rubbish and dog poo were left around the vacant pitches. We informed the office about the mess, nothing was done.

Pen Berry Field electric grass pitch

Liked Pitch size.

Disliked Site being used as a gas chamber due to a large fire being lit to burn off rubbish next to the barn, resulting in overnight burning and the tents then being filled with smoke in the early hours.

Size of the site is far bigger than reviews lead you to believe,

Small / inadequate facilities, male 2 toilets and 4 female toilets to accommodate hundreds of users.

Dirty facilities.

From the manager: We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
Our site is indeed very spacious—something we’re proud of—and we’ve made every effort to showcase its scale through photos and videos on our social media channels so guests can plan accordingly.
Regarding the fire incidents, this was the result of campers discarding disposable BBQs in general waste skips, which was unfortunate. This resulted in 2 fires that eventually required the intervention of MWF&RS We have provided designated metal bins for BBQ disposal and clear signage, but we cannot always prevent misuse. We’re continually looking at ways to improve safety and awareness around this. Sadly, this incident resulted in smoke drifting into the camping area overnight. On the back of that incident, we are reviewing how we can better manage this in the future to avoid any disruption to campers should this happen again.
On the facilities front, we’d like to clarify that what you have reviewed are the additional temporary toilets which were placed in the field to support peak demand. We have two main toilet blocks, which are located in the main building on the farm, each one which includes:
• Male facilities: 4 urinals, 4 toilets, and 6 showers
• Female facilities: 6 toilets and 6 showers
Additionally, we have designated disabled toilets and showers along with baby changing facilities.
These are cleaned twice daily by our dedicated team, with an additional top-up clean in the evening. We take pride in our cleaning standards, which are regularly praised by many of our visitors. However, we also rely on all campers to help maintain these standards, as cleanliness can vary depending on individual use.
We’re grateful to the thousands of campers who enjoy our site each season, and while we know we can’t please everyone all the time, we’re committed to providing a safe, clean, and enjoyable experience for all.
Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us improve.

Local attractions

Coasteering, kayaking, sailing, surfing, rock climbing and other hair-raising and scenic adventures are all around, with several activity centres easily reachable from Celtic Camping; the site staff can arrange something for those who’d like to plunge in. If you’re taking to the area under your own steam, Pembrokeshire has dozens of eye-wateringly pretty beaches to pick from: award-winning Whitesands, about 40 minutes’ walk from Abereiddy Bay, is a hit with surfers for the breaks on its northern end. A little further along the coast from Whitesands and towards the north end of St Brides Bay on St Davids Peninsula, slip around to the fishing village and harbour of Solva to drop jaw at the views around the Griben coastal walk. Pick up freshly dressed Pembrokeshire crab at the village seafood shop for later back at the barbie: three pubs, two cafés and two restaurants are around too for a pitstop. The Puffin Shuttle coastal bus goes from Solva to Britain’s smallest city St Davids three times a day in summer: get the early one to see the cathedral properly as well as Bishops Palace beside it.
