Overcrowded!!!

We visit Pembrey at least once a year but after our recent visit I don't think I will be back. I actually thought long and hard about writing this but things need to improve there. Firstly, the staff were brilliant, they work really hard and can't fault them. The biggest let down is the facilities. Staff clean the facilities to a very high standard. Unfortunately other guests leave them in a terrible state. There is not enough toilets and showers for a site of this size, especially when so many people had multiple generations staying in one caravan putting a extra burden on facilities. Water was never warm and there is no pressure in the showers. Facilities need a total overall. Overcrowding is another issues. So many caravans had 10 or more people, 60% of the site had more than one vehicle parked on site, you can now see why the lack of facilities was an issue. I am not sure what it is with Pembrey site but it seems to attract the rudest caravaners. We were fortunate to get a hardstanding pitch with a small green area behind. This seem to be busier than the M4 with so many people walking through the pitch, through infront of the awning and constantly kicking up the stones. One morning I even woke to find another family had set up their dining table directly behind our caravan and were enjoying their breakfast. The bloody cheek. Pembrey is such a good location for families but there are a few things letting it down.

We'll Definitely be Back!

We have just returned from a two week holiday at this site and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. I would say that it has been my favourite holiday in the two years since we purchased our caravan. We chose pitch 50, which was hard-standing, surrounded by lots of grassed area and trees - it was like having a garden around us. We have three children aged 14, 12 and 7. They all made lots of friends immediately, cycling and scooting around. It's about a twenty minute walk to a lovely, sandy and safe beach (although there were a lot of Portuguese Man of War jelly fish on our last day!). The beach is also perfectly firm for a bike ride up to a number of boat wrecks. Cycle route 4 provides great views out over the bay and over the salt marshes. We visited the Botanic Gardens of Wales which is a half hour drive from the site; so much to see and lots of different walking trails. The nearby town of Llanelli is a short drive away and has a surprisingly vast choice of supermarkets - Tesco, Asda, Lidl and Aldi. If you can't be bothered to go and do a big shop, there are two vans which visit the site on a daily basis, selling milk, bread, cakes, pies etc. Both announce their arrival by tooting their horns as they progress around the campsite, so don't expect a lay-in past 9:30am! I would agree with some of the other reviews that the toilet block could do with a re-vamp, but they were always clean. This site is perfect for families, but would also be a great location for campers without children who don't mind the odd child cycling or scooting past.

Pembrey country park

We have been to this site twice now and staff are friendly lots of things to do around the area. The site is always very busy when we’ve visited. My only disappointment was that I was waiting by the office for my son to to visit us for only an hour and was told by the warden not to use the key fob to let him in as the park was very busy and too many children on the site and wanted to keep cars to a minimum so I was told he had to park about half a mile outside of the campsite which was fair enough,, however whilst I was waiting another vehicle turned up and used the key fob to allow the vehicle in to visit which the warden saw , this car stayed overnight on the pitch next to us so there was a car then caravan then awning and then the second car so there was not enough gap between our awning and the breaking fire regulations. So the warden needs to use one rule for everyone.

Not for us!

Initial thought on arrival was “how soon can we leave”? We had paid for 4 nights at full price in August school holidays but we didn’t have any children as we are a retired couple having just returned from Ireland. Very few pitches to choose from on day 1 but moved pitch to a quieter one next day. Unsupervised children were thoroughly enjoying their stay on bikes and scooters so I would simply avoid this site if you want a quiet site during school holidays, otherwise it’s a bit of a kids playground! Toilet facilities are seriously outdated and small.

Fabulous Cycle Routes

We were very grateful to get a place on this site last minute. David the warden was very accommodating and helpful - thank you. The huge uncrowded beach was a lovely surprise to us. Over the few days we were there we did lots of off-road cycling, both all along the coast and the next day, on the Swiss Valley Trail.

Absolutely amazing, the best site I've stayed at, with the caravan club!!!

Just want to start by saying a huge thank you to Ducan and his wife, for being brilliant, from the start they were so friendly and so helpful, even helped us find a spot as there was three caravans in our party and we wanted to be together. Then unfortunately on the 2nd morning one of our awning poles bent, which ended up with our awning collapsing, Duncan was the first there to help us, even in the pouring rain, he didn't leave until it was fixed then continued to help us with pegs and continued to pop over throughout our stay to make sure it was all ok. The most friendly site we have stayed at, the wardens going above and beyond. The facilities were spotless overall a huge 10/10!!! There was so much to do at the country park which is within 5 minutes walk from the site, the beaches were beautiful. I couldn't fault anything about this site and its destination, we was very sad to leave but can't wait to come back again soon. If your looking for the best holiday stay here!!!!!!!

Wardens are excellent

We have recently returned from Pembrey. We thought the wardens did an excellent job of keeping the site in very good condition. We were very impressed about how friendly the wardens were and how they were willing to give good service to the guests and always had a smile when you encountered them. The thing that really impressed us was that they did do their best to enforce the club rules. So few sites do these days and you end up with lots of dogs not on leads and children(and on occasion some adults) kicking footballs about. People who join the club should read the rules and if they cannot abide by these rules then they should look elsewhere. Keep up the good work and hopefully more sites will start enforcing the rules which are there for everyone’s enjoyment.

Excellent

I’m sure it’s all been said before, just to add. Park facilities were better than I expected. As motorhomers I like to be in walking distance from a dog friendly pub. I didn’t think this had one but the cafe next to The Park’s own campsite, served alcohol and food til 8pm, with great sheds for the sheltered outdoor experience. Loved the natural feel of the club campsite with nice grass pitches. Taboggon Run, fun for adults too. Fab site for families but if like us, you prefer quiet, avoid school holidays.

Short Break at Pembrey

Just returned from a three-night stay at the Pembrey Club Site. The site was very busy with very few vacant pitches. Even though it was full it did not detract from the overall peacefulness of the environment. The wardens are doing a fantastic job. The facilities on site were immaculate and their genuine friendliness shone through. We had four miniature Schnauzer dogs with us who thoroughly enjoyed running free through the adjacent country park and the beach a Cefn Sidan. We enjoy visiting Pembey during the school term as the site retains its peaceful ambiance. This is a first-class site in a glorious location, with professional, helpful and friendly wardens.
