Celtic Camping Reviews

Couple camping

Awesome- had a great time and will come back with a few friends.

Helpful beyond belief

We arrived late at night after the ferry from Ireland, baby in tow, they put us up in a room rather than the pitch we booked to make life easier. I cannot understate how much I appreciate that. Cannot recommend enough!

Amazing campsite

Amazing campsite, very clean, lovely location. Will definitely be back x

A break away

The site was very easy to find and close to amenities. There was a lovely choice of fields to choose from with beautiful sea and countryside views. Their washing, toilet and shower facilities were spotless at all times, they also had lovely areas to wash dishes. There's a lovely large room on site with a stage area and lots of settees and chairs that could be used in bad weather. There was also a very small shop with basics on site. There is also a cafe area, freezers and other things available which I didn't use so cannot comment. There are lots of different bins available for recycling everything possible, which is brilliant. We ventured down to the little cove, which is stunning and the ciasral oath is easily accessible. We really enjoyed staying here and will definitely return.

What a lovely review Gail! Thank you for taking the time to leave such thorough and positive feedback. Much appreciated. Great to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Views as far as I can see

This campsite has the potential to be amazing. Right now, what's selling this campsite for me is the views you get out to sea and watching the sunsets/sunrises. The staff were really friendly/welcoming and knowledgeable about the local area. You are within walking distance (1 hour one way) from Blue Lagoon. However, the toilets and showers I feel need to be cleaned more regularly. The lack of sinks to do your cleaning queues built up regularly. The showers would be better suited if they had an area to put clothes, rather than hooks on the back of the door. The organisation of the campsite could be improved. They have a "free for all" attitude to get a spot, which they advised on the website, however, it wasn't to my personal taste. I feel that clear boundaries for each pitch would make it more aesthetically pleasing, such as hedges, as there is not much privacy .The location is remote and you would need to travel to St David ( 20 min away) to access the nearest supermarket, although they do have a shop that is adequately filled. However, it has strange opening times. This campsite has the potential to be amazing. It just needs time and some further investment. The location is remote, but stunning.

Wonderful stay

Our first time camping and everything was excellent, views were amazing.

Lovely stay with beautiful weather and scenery

Beautiful location. So much access to the Pembrokeshire countryside and stunning views. As advised, it was rustic, and was a little busy over BH weekend which meant facilities were very stretched. Can get windy - again all advised in their write up. It's as near to wild camping as we want to get, but we were lucky with the weather.

Many thanks Tracey for taking the time to leave a review about your recent stay. We are truly lucky in terms of our location and the stunning views of the coast and country that this affords. In all of our literature and correspondence, we do always do our best to provide guests with sufficient information to paint an accurate picture of what to expect in terms of the campsite and what it has to offer so I'm glad that this appears to have been successful. Please do come back and visit us again soon.

Fantastic campsite

We have had an amazing stay at Celtic Campsite!! Scenic panoramic sea views in the perfect location for what we wanted to do during our stay. Facilities were fantastic, very clean too! All staff were so polite and helpful, from the catering staff to the office staff nothing was too much trouble. Such a chilled campsite which made for a nice atmosphere for all campers. We will 100% be staying here again and we will be recommending this campsite to our friends and family too! Thank you to all the staff, you all do a brilliant job.

Lovely site

Loved our recent stay here, lovely site with great views and helpful staff.

Amazing views, shame about the rest

A stunning location for sure, which initially made up for the basic facilities provided in the Blue Lagoon field. Sadly ruined over the weekend when huge groups turned up and facilities were really not adequate - one male and female toilet with running water for the whole field, portaloos with no chemical in as an alternative, several of which became full and had to be closed. Hot water in the showers were not working on more than one occasion and generally dirty and unpleasant. Did not see a cleaner come once. Also, we were amazed they allow loud music and burning of campfires in one of the driest summers on record - a potential fire hazard and damaging to this beautiful area. Would not recommend.

Thank you for leaving feedback regarding your trip Vicki, which we always take on-board with a view to looking at how we can improve to experience for campers on site. When guests check in at reception on arrival, we try and give enough information to guests regarding the site to allow them to decide where may best suit them. Normally as part of this, we would explain that the Blue Lagoon field is really all about the views and that the facilities in that field are more basic than the rest of the site so that this manages the expectations, but that obviously they can still come down and use the more established facilities in the main campsite. That said, we appreciate that during the busy times, and given the popularity of the field, the facilities were under strain at times and certainly this is something that we are looking to develop and improve in advance of Summer 2023. Regarding the campfire situation, we did monitor this situation carefully and put a temporary ban on the use of BBQ's and campfires on site on a couple of occasions when necessary. However, we also appreciate that being able to have a controlled fire in a small fire pit is an enjoyable part of the camping experience for many guests so when we felt it was safe, we did allow this but with a little guidance to campers regarding safety etc. The fact that we had no incidents on site is testament to this. We are sorry to hear that you were disturbed by loud music during your stay. The owner, Ian, is always fastidious in his efforts to ensure all campers are happy and enjoying themselves, whilst being considerate of others around them, and will 'do the rounds' throughout the evening and into the early hours to monitor music levels and have a quiet word with groups who are maybe a little too loud. We are sorry that this was not your experience. Many thanks for coming to stay with us and we very much hope that you may revisit at some point in the future. Chris.

Great campsite

Would highly recommend this campsite, beautiful views and excellent facilities!

Celtic Camping, a great place

1st time staying there and it was excellent. Site shop is a little overpriced, but aren't they all. Toilets and showers were always clean with loo roll. Great access to the coast path and local beaches. Will definitely return 100%. The toilet cassette wash area could do with a hose on the tap to make washing out a bit easier. If you are looking for a site that is close to all the modern trappings of life, this is not for you, if however you are looking to set up turn of all electrics and get away from it all, this is definitely the place for you. Kids had a great time exploring, loved it. They have washing machines, tumble driers, microwaves, fridges freezers that you can use free of charge, WiFi if you need it and serve food daily. I could go on forever, get down there and try it out for yourselves.

Fantastic campsite!

Large site with plenty of space. Good access to the sea, great views. Facilities excellent.

Stay for 2 nights

Excellent park ... please can we ask if we can store our RV over winter with you and price that would include as we liked this, very much especially with my dad who is disabled with wheelchair.

Lovely stay!

Lovely stay in a beautiful location! Campsite has plenty of space and you could pick your own spot! Facilities were fantastic. You had access to kettles, microwaves, fridge, freezer, washing machine, sinks and chill seating areas with WiFi! Showers and toilets were pleasant, but could do with more regular maintenance and cleaning, and possible upgrading as décor looked a little shabby and worn, but it didn't affect use whatsoever! Staff were polite and friendly and were very informative. We went as a couple, but there were families with children. Although, there wasn't a huge amount for children to do, as there was no play areas or entertainment.

Beautiful views, great canpsite

Great campsite. Also a bunk bar so lots of extra facilities, including hot water urn and indoor eating spaces, and breakfast and evening meals on some days. Friendly staff. Great views on all pitches, but and open coastal campsite so very windy. Shop and wood available. Loads to do from the site and close by. We've had a lovely holiday.

Thank you Hannah for taking time out to leave a review regarding your recent stay at Celtic Camping and the positive comments regarding the site, facilities and staff. Much appreciated and great to hear that you had a lovely holiday. Hope to see you again soon.

Excellent facilities and great staff

Fantastic food available at a very reasonable price. The gentleman behind the reception had a fantastic haircut. The views along the coastline were stunning. Highly recommended.

Great stay

Chilled yet well managed environment. I will return! A great campsite as a base for North Pembrokeshire. Mi fyddwn yn ôl! (I will be back!)

Could be better

Budget campsite with poorly trained staff on arrival. Very noisy at night due to music from group parties. I think there are much better sites available.

Site's response

Thank you for your feedback from your recent stay at Celtic Camping Martin, and apologies for the delay in responding. We think that the campsite represents good value for money, as on top of a stunning location, there are a whole host of facilities on site that are available for campers to use at no additional/hidden costs. The vast majority of reviews make reference to our helpful and friendly staff, who will do their best to provide a warm welcome on arrival and provide a brief overview of the campsite and local surroundings, so I'm sorry this was not your experience. Similarly, whilst extensive efforts are made to try and ensure noise levels are appropriate around the site, undoubtedly there will be occasions when unfortunately we do have some campers who are not so considerate of others and it does cause a disturbance, so apologies if this was what you experienced. Whilst Pembrokeshire and, in particular the St Davids Peninsula, is blessed with numerous excellent campsites which people can choose from, we are delighted to have recently won the 'Campsite Of The Year' award at the Visit Pembrokeshire Croeso Awards, which we hope is recognition of the high quality of service and facilities we provide to many happy campers.

Everything nice

The site is on a prime spot, with stunning views and enough space to have privacy even in the busiest days. The only thing that could be better is the cleanliness of the facilities. This was summer holiday, so the place was full, but still, the bathrooms and common areas were a bit dirty most of the time. it would have been nice if there was staff cleaning around more often. It was still a very pleasant stay and I would recommend it.

Amazing campsite

This is an amazing campsite and I would certainly recommend. It has all amenities that you need and more! Very friendly and safe. Amazing sunset and sea views. Staff very helpful, reassuring and very friendly. You can pick your own spot which is definitely a bonus! There is a steep walk to a little bay which is rocky. Only 11 minutes to the Blue Lagoon which is a must do! And 7 minutes to the bug farm. A real positive was being able to turn up and leave when you wanted to on your start and end days. The shower block could be a little cleaner but I'm being picky! They were adequate. There is a little shop and the opening times could have been a little better, but that's only because we ran out of milk early in the morning and it was shut at 8:30! I would most certainly come again to this campsite, thank you for an amazing stay!

Amazing space to recharge

Amazing space to zone out and recharge away from busy everyday life. Nice and peaceful area with great facilities, which made our stay a lot more comfortable. Beautiful scenery and amazing water activities. Visited nearby beaches (Whitesand Bay and the Blue Lagoon), which were both less than 10min drive. Staff members were lovely, polite and very helpful. Totally recommended and will definitely visit again.

Absolutely stunning location, I'd 100% return again

What an absolutely stunning location! We loved the fact that you can choose your own pitch and that literally everywhere has a sunset view 😍 It was so relaxed, sitting watching the sunset whilst eating tea and enjoying a glass of wine was perfect! A walk along the coastal path whilst the sun set and spotting seals is something my family will always remember. 😊 The only thing that I can criticise are the toilet facilities. The portaloos in the fields were fine the first and second day we were there. However, despite having toilet roll (which shows they were checked) there was never any hand sanitiser available on the pump and the smell was awful from day 4. There is a main shower and toilet block at the top of the hill, but you don't always want to walk up there when it's very late or very early and you need the toilet. The toilets in the main block were basic, but showers were warm, and I never had to wait to use a shower 👍 More regular emptying of the portaloos, especially in the body summer season is a must. However, despite the toilet situation, we would definitely return. Our boys and my husband and I loved the view.Not far from St David's or The Blue Lagoon which is beautiful!

Almost perfect

Busy time of year to visit, but with it being a large site the non electric spaces were relatively quiet. Great facilities on site and helpful staff, and the only thing that let it down was the porta loos being rather yucky. The main toilet blocks and showers were much better. Overall highly recommend this site.

Site's response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your positive comments regarding your recent stay Alison. Sorry that you found the portaloos a little yucky. We bring them in during the busy periods to help take a bit of pressure off the main toilet/shower blocks so it is disappointing to hear when this doesn't necessarily help the situation. But thank you for recommending the site and we look forward to hopefully seeing you again soon.

Lots of space, lovely views, great location

Good location just outside of St David's. Great walk along coastal path to nearby Abereiddy beach (~30 mins). Plenty of toilets and showers, never had to queue. Really lovely views of the sea, especially from higher up the hill. Really appreciated being able to leave at any time on check out day. Really enjoyed our stay (4 people, 1 dog).
