  • Small wildlife haven site set around a large pond
  • Within walking distance of many attractions including Heatherton
  • Modern toilet and shower block
What a peaceful place… Pembrokeshire's Carn Springs, in a wildlife haven near the coast at Tenby, is set in mature grounds with a central lake making up a natural habitat for many species of birds, waterfowl and other critters: rest relaxedly here around the campfire to see swallows and bats flitting overhead as dusk falls… This is a site for switching off at, whether you want to lie back and think of nature spotting, read, paint, or visit the many traditional towns and villages nearby. When/if you want to switch on again, Heatherton World of Activities, Manor House Wildlife Park and Tenby Dinosaur Park are all within walking distance and the harbour village of Saundersfoot is a short drive away. Carn Springs has geese, guinea fowl, chicken and ducks so free-range eggs are often available. Its modern toilet and shower block has large showers and hot running water; the site also has a washing-up area and chemical disposal.

Liked: Exceptionally clean facilities, some of the best shower blocks on a camping site we have stayed on. Beautiful site very well maintained. Fantastic location just a few minutes drive to both temby and Saundersfoot. The owner was a lovely ladie also who gave us free homemade Welsh cakes on arrival. Have booked to go back I'm a few weeks.
