We visit this site quite often

We visit this site quite often the roadway access is better than most with plenty of passing spaces. The site is always clean and tidy and the New Wardens are so friendly and informative. The Pembrey Country Park is accessible on foot through a gate which keeps you away from traffic you can take a vehicle in through barrier operated access which takes your vehicle registration number and on exiting the park you have to pay at pay machines dotted around the park. There is a decent cafe / restaurant in the P C Park. From site to the beach takes you approximately 20 minutes Brilliant Site

A good park but too isolated for us

We’ve just returned from a short stay in the run up to Easter. On balance we had a good time here. It’s easy to access and the roads aren’t bad at all when towing. The park is very well kept and the facilities are well looked after. The park borders onto a large country park which leads down onto the huge Cefn Sidan beach where you can literally walk for miles and miles. The pitch was good sized and well spaced and the new approach to the layout of caravan / awning / car worked well for us. We did have some overhanging trees which given the time of year didn’t cause an issue but I’d worry a bit about the roof of the van when the branches would be in full leaf. Despite all the positives of the park and its staff the location was more than a little ‘isolated’ for us. The local towns of Burry Port and Kidwelly have very little to offer which means you have to travel to either Swansea, Gower or further into the main holiday spots of Tenby / Saundersfoot. Each of the these locations at about an hour away by car. The local area doesn’t have any real amenities either. The nearest shop I believe is 3 miles away and there isn’t a pub in sight either! Sadly the weather had been horrendous in the run up to our stay so part of the park was flooded for most of the time we were there. Totally beyond the control of the club and, of course, the park staff. In summary a good stay on a well kept park. If you’re looking for a walking and cycling holiday and enjoy getting away from it all then this will probably suit you down to the ground. If you prefer a bit more ‘local life’ then you’ll really, really struggle at Pembrey.

This site always gives 100%

Third stay of 14 plus days and still blown away and this despite appalling weather. Easy to get to, great pitches , facilities and it's location all make this site worth the 160 mile trip from Newbury. The access to miles of traffic free tarmac cycle tracks makes this a perfect site for all levels of cyclist and the park is always hosting events for something to see. The biggest draw is the location close to the beaches of the Loughor estuary and the views across to the Gower peninsula. This site is a hidden gem and well worth discovering. And We mustn't forget to mention the people who do a great job of looking after the site so well. Thank you for another great stay and see you again soon.

Yearly visits

Have stayed on this site nearly every fireworks night and New years for 10 years now. Started with a caravan but have now swapped to a motorhome. The site is great for walking beach stays or just relaxing. Wardens have as all club sites always been friendly and helpful. Just one thing have noticed about most clubsites is that they only have ONE motorhome service point. which when it takes 20 to 30 mins to fill tank this surely would cause a queue for the service point during busy times of the year. Just observation as we usually go for the smaller CL sites during busy times.

What a lovely site!

We had heard of Pembrey Country Park but had not been previously aware of a club site there. Having found it we booked a few nights and what a lovely stay we had! The site is pristine and the Wardens very friendly. As some have said the toilet blocks are a little dated but they are spotlessly clean and warm so we had no complaints. There is a dog walk around one side of the site but given the location there are ample dog walks available. The site is situated on the edge of the country park which has miles of tracks and trails for walking and cycling. A 20 minute walk will take you to the most fabulous beach which I understand is 8 miles long so plenty of room for everyone! There are lovely views of Gower and Worms Head from the beach. The park also has a dry ski slope with a cafe and there is a park run caravan site which has its own licensed cafe which is open to anyone. It was peaceful during our stay but I would imagine it would be very busy during peak times / school holidays as it’s a great place for families. The only small complaint we had was the lack of lighting around the perimeter of the site at night, particularly at the service point where it was extremely dark. I did mention this to a Warden who said they would look into it. A minor issue which didn’t spoil our stay and we will most definitely return.

Fantastic Stay

We love Pembrey. We have stayed here regular since April. As you enter, you are greeted by beautiful hanging baskets and raised boarders. There are beautiful trees around the site which helps with shade if you are like us. The staff, Mel and Co are a wonderful bunch. Always eager to help or stop for a chat. They are kind and caring towards the children. The pitches are well laid out with ample of room between each pitch. As mentioned before, Mr Whippy calls every night, but the only downside is no local bread or milk on-site. The facilities are well kept and highly presented, however a little dated which can’t be helped by the wardens. Pembrey country park is a wonderful place to explore, woodland walks, lovely beach, great biking, E-Carts and crazy golf to name a few. It’s a wonderful site and area. The nearest shop is Co-op about a 8 minute drive away or head to Llanelli which is about 20-30 mins drive.

Another Fantastic Trip to Pembrey

As you drive in to the site, you are greeted with beautiful flowers - hanging baskets and raised borders. The site is well maintained, the wardens certainly work hard to keep their site spotlessly clean and highly presented. The facilities could do with a little update and revamp, however, saying that we always find them spotless. The wardens, Mel and Co are friendly, lovely and always full of top advice. Mr Whippy comes around every night. Unfortunately, as some have already said, would be nice to have local bread and milk on site due to the location. Pembrey Country Park have a small shop with high prices available and also a milk machine. CoOp is about a 10 min car ride away, otherwise the local supermarket would be either Llanelli or Carmarthen. The surrounding area is fantastic for walkers, cyclists and families. The park itself have miles of areas to bike etc…. Lovely walks and activities such as crazy golf. We are very much looking for coming back here next week.

A pleasant country site

We stayed a week here in August and chose the site because of its proximity to a beach and to the huge Pembrey Country Park. The site is very pleasant and divided into a number of areas giving it a more intimate feel. We like the use of two pegs to mark each pitch as it makes it very easy to place the caravan correctly. We selected a pitch in what looked like a quiet corner, but later discovered that the area behind our caravan was used as a meeting place for the many children on the site. This in itself was not a problem, but our electricity tower was so far away from the caravan that our cable lay across the access to the meeting area. We saw children riding bicycles and scooters over the cable and hoped that they were not doing any damage. Perhaps some thought should be given to the proximity of electricity towers to pitches. We were surprised to find that the only waste disposal point was just inside the entrance and were told that this is becoming club policy. We understand the idea of saving hundreds of plastic bags a year but wonder if the daily emptying of the bins at the various service points gave the wardens a chance to keep an eye on the whole site. It also gave visitors the opportunity to speak to a warden without making a special journey to reception. We were pleased to see that a mobile pizzeria visited twice a week and bought pizzas on one evening. They were delicious and certainly saved on cooking.

Pembrey - Lovely site

We stayed her for 3 nights with our dogs and loved it. Excellent site with good size pitches. Facilities were very clean and warm and well lite. Not too crowded so plenty of showers etc. Being able to walk directly into the country park was brilliant for us and lots of different walks to do. Downloading the "Historical Trail Pembrey" to your phone is definitely worth doing as the information on the History of the place was really interesting and a lovely informative walk around. we loved the Dairy in the park for fresh milk and milkshakes. The cafe at the Visitor centre was good value for money. Nothing fancy but good for a coffee and cake or quick pizza if wanted. The beach was a lovely walk and being able to take the dogs on there was definitely a plus. Would definitely come here again.
