  • 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.

What customers say

Carn Springs is a peaceful campsite by a lake, with spacious, clean pitches and modern facilities. Staff are praised for their warm welcome and complimentary treats. Great for exploring Tenby/Saundersfoot, though walking access is tricky. Minor issues mentioned include road noise, Wi-Fi costs, and waste charges. Many want to return.

Liked Fabulous site, extremely helpful staff, clean facilities, peaceful.

Disliked Slight issue, but not the site's fault at all (more so my bad planning!) the site was slightly further out from Tenby than I anticipated.

Liked Beautiful surroundings. Loved the lake view. Good size pitches.
Friendly welcome including delicious welsh cakes as a gift. All in all a great place to stay, easy to get to both Saunderfoot and Tenby, a few minutes drive. Not suitable to walk to as roads are narrow

Disliked Tractors and boy racers on road behind causes a bit of noise but shortlived in early evening

Liked Gorgeous site, can see how well it’s maintained, very spacious pitches. Very warm welcome when we checked in and got taken to our pitch, and got given some complementary snacks. The facilities on the site are very modern and clean. Plenty of room and never felt crowded. Had a lovely day out in Tenby whilst we were there. No doubt we will be back again very soon

Disliked Nothing, beautiful weekend
