Refreshing Freshwater

First lay to rest some of the below rumblings. Those reading this will have access to the web, so a quick google maps and street view will show the lie of the land and if you have sense checking out the ordinance survey map of the area would help guide before booking. I do every time, use all resources.  The site lies in a valley, a steam runs in the valley, and there is a nearby marsh.  Yep its gets wet, and yep if you are not on a hard standing pitch it will get boggy.

We arrived at a little after 1200, which is when you should arrive. We in fact left at 1200. Arrive early at any club site and take your chance.  The recent run of poor weather meant that most of the grass pitches were out of action. We got a phone call advising this, but we still went. It was a case of one off one on. Standing water on the grass pitches could be seen, it just was not draining away(see first para). On leaving even the hard standing pitches had water just inches below the top level of the gravel – I hope this ends those that favour grass pitches argument on the forum – Like many sites it needs 100pc hard standing.

We did not find the wardens rude, but they were fine. Be nice, get nice back. There are 5 and the wardens have been there many years. We had pitch 70 opposite the play ground, no issues here, no noise late night, all good.  Pitch 93 as below seems fine and no worse than the others, some pitches are not flat, but nor are they at 45degrees! Dog walk is marked as a dog walk not a play area, common sense warn your kids of possible dog mess, else tell them to keep clear.

Nothing wrong with this site, seems just some who visit.

The pub in the next static van/cabin site is an OK bolthole, Fresh Water Inn an odd place but not unreasonable,

Tenby expensive for Fish and Chips, great boat trips, the Merchants House worth a view, so to the museum, loads of Castles, Carew and Tide Mill fab, can go crabbing there, Pembrooke great too, Manorbier also worth a visit.

All good in the rain as lots to see inside. The Old Arms Hotel does good soup, as the Café in Pembrooke Castle is small and fills up. But with most places you can come and go all day in/out if you ask so pop into town to avoid the queues.  

Freshwater beach is not 100pc sandy, but why go anywhere else, it has a stream, rock pools, sand and stones. Fab, my two loved it, better than just sand. The fact the site IS being revamped, a new top block, a renewed interior lower block and more hard standings only make us want to return one day. Tents wise could see anything to moan about.
