Glan Y Mor Camp Site

For camping there is plenty of room for traditional camping in any size tent, touring caravans or camper vans and we can accommodate any size Motor-Home and thousands of campers have enjoyed our site – however, if you are looking for something on par with a Caravan Camping Club site then you could be disappointed. On our rustic campsite, we have lots of electric hook-up points (please book early to avoid disappointment at busy times) around every field, including water facilities and washing-up areas. So for camping, you can go native and get away from it all by setting up camp in your own little corner of Pembrokeshire or you can set up camp in friends or family groups and enjoy what our campsite has to offer. There are spectacular views from everywhere on our campsite and a cracking sunset across the sea. We have 3 main large camping fields with additional satellite fields for those campers looking to get away from the main camping areas.   

Please note during the peak camping periods, we will bring in additional portable toilets to support our fixed toilet and shower blocks – these ensure that toilet facilities are in every field – they are cleaned daily and emptied on a regular basis.   We have a dedicated CCTV system that covers the campsite and provides that overarching security for peace of mind.

Camping Pitch

 Celtic Camping is a rustic open-field campsite, which provides you with loads of space to breathe, reconnect, explore, discover, play and relax whilst being surounded by our beautiful Pembrokeshire Coastline.   Set in 250 acres of open farm land, you can enjoy knockout ocean views, and have direct access onto the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path from almost any part of our campsite. This 186 mile long National Trail twists and turns its way through some of the most breathtaking coastline in West Wales if not the whole of Britain.

With any coastal camping, whilst it offers amazing seas views, it can at times be a little breezy – therefore you need to ensure that your camping equipment is robust enough to withstand our coastal weather systems and you should also be knowledgeable on tent erecting and the use of your camping equipment and the vehicle you intend to use (campervan, motor-home or caravan).  If you have not put up your tent for a while or you are a first-time camper, then turning up here and trying to erect your tent for the first time in breezy conditions is not recommended. We are on hand to offer advice and assistance.  Please also note we do not allocate pitches – we allow our campers to select a pitch that suites them and their requirements  – after all it’s your holiday, so we allow you to find somewhere that meets your needs, rather than us dictating where you should go.

Celtic Camping

This pitch provides everything including the kitchen sink! All you need is your tent and bedding - everything else is here, just a short walk from your parking space. The spacious polytunnel kitchen contains a 3 burner gas hob, sink and running cold water, a picnic table, pots and pans, cutlery and crockery. Outside there's another picnic table next to the firepit and grill, while alongside the kitchen is your own gas powered shower in its wooden cabin. With no mains electricity on the field, we've located your personal fridge freezer in the campsite shower block. Here you'll also find toilets, an electric shower, washing facilities and a washing machine.

Deluxe Grass Camping Pitch

Greener Camping Club membership. Required to stay at a greener camping club site.

Greener Camping Club

All 5 grass pitches are rotated to keep the turf in good heart. There are usually 3-4 pitches being camped on the main camping field, each separated by vacant pitches. The fifth pitch is sited at the near end of the deluxe camping pitch field. If pitches want to camp close to each other we usually site them on the campervan field - this is the only field where vehicles are allowed. No vehicles are otherwise allowed on site except for pitching and taking down tents on arrival and departure.

Only 5 pitches are in use at any one time. Each pitch is 10 metres wide. Camping gear, kitchen tents, awnings and gazebos must be pitched within the 10 metre spacing.

If you come with friends we will do our best to site you on adjacent pitches.

Picnic Tables
Every pitch has its own picnic table which you can place where it suits, either in a gazebo or under a tarp or just leave it al fresco depending on whether you want to use it as a meal table, a work table or somewhere for the kids to do stuff.

Campfire Camping
Lighting Campfires, cooking and Stargazing.

You can light a campfire in the evenings and enjoy its warmth and glow or you can hone your campfire cooking skills. Campers have roasted a chicken on a spit to perfection and stews are frequently made in dutch ovens so if you have a dutch oven or any heavy cast iron pots, do bring them with you.

You can also bring your own wood but logs and kindling are on sale at near cost price per net.

Recycling your waste
Colour coded bins.

We've made it as easy as possible for you to recycle all of your waste. There are colour coded bins clearly labelled for glass, metal, clean plastic, cardboard, food waste and - as a last resort - landfill.

We have provided the facilities and we hope you will do your bit for the environment and recycle conscientiously.
