So what... it rained

Spent ten days (mostly wet) here in August 15 with 9 year old son and our dog. Yes, it rained, no, we did not care! Beach = awesome, even in rain! Park = awesome, tobogan run is open all weather. Our son made friends, we watched them ride bikes, scooters etc and have fun. A beautiful, but quiet, part of the world. Don't expect tourism stuff here or to walk to a shop, pub, takeaway but do go! Make use of the vans that arrive selling milk, juice, bread, bacon etc each day and, if got a dog/child buy the car park token for the park from reception as its a fair track from site to the beach!

Holiday at Pembrey

This was our first visit to Wales camping. The facilities at Pembrey were very clean and the staff welcoming. The toilet/shower block is only accessible with your key which is given to you on arrival. You only forget it a few times and then it becomes normal! The country park which is minutes away is beautiful, opening out onto a huge sandy beach which was stunning. Cycling around the park was amazing with routes being relatively flat. The facilities on the park included archery, skiing and horse riding. The Wifi was not available for a couple of days due to a fault, once repaired it was patchy and generally quite slow. Not sure if this was down to the volume of people or the system.

Welsh Treasure

Just returned from a wonderful couple of weeks at Pembrey. This was our 3rd visit here in 3 years. The site, as always, was immaculate and the staff were wonderful. We had our 2 granddaughters with us (13 & 7) and there was plenty to do especially the steam train at Carmarthen and Dan-yr-Ogof caves. We were very fortunate to have 10 sunny days and even though the last couple were very wet, we still managed to find plenty to do. Daily visits to the site by local baker, milkman etc were very welcomed - we particularly enjoyed the cream cakes. Thoroughly recommend this site and area and we are already looking forward to our next visit.

ok in fine weather

It wasn't really the site's fault that my two days here were rather grim. The rain was incessant. I was on a grass pitch which had obviously previously had a long-stay awning over it. The result was a muddy mess which my dogs brought into the motorhome. As for dogs, there is no designated dog walk. There is a vast country park with miles of walking. Unfortunately, the rain meant people were just walking their dogs around the campsite and not always picking up the doo-doo. Being August there were of course lots of children for whom the location of the site would be bliss, given the right weather. In the event there were numerous children just cycling and scooting around the site and cluttering up the reception/shop for lack of anything better to do. The on-site playground is quite small and uninteresting. I felt sorry for the wardens who had to keep telling children to mind out for vehicles. I came home early!

No need to leave

Pembrey is a little haven beyond the main tourist areas of the Gower. 7.5 miles of sandy beaches of which about 200 metres are a no dog zone and lifeguarded. Huge areas of wooded cycling, a dry ski slope, a couple of cafes and a few ice cream vans. The site itself is impeccably clean and maintained, it has some classic South Wales traditions which highlight why you won't have to leave the site. It has a milkman delivery van, a baker/grocer van in the mornings, and an ice cream van in the evenings that travel around the site and parp their horn. Its become our new favourite location.

An excellent introduction to the Caravan Club!

This was our first caravan holiday and we couldn't have chosen a better place to start. The site was excellent, from the check in when we arrived to the excellent warden who congratulated the children on finding all the hidden clues around the site. A great location with the beautiful Pembrey Beach just a quick cycle ride away. Thoroughly recommended

Holiday Park

When reading the reviews on this website for this Caravan Site, I’m not quite sure if they’re referring to the same site we’ve recently just spent a week visiting? Also, judging by some of the comments by other fellow club members that we were pitched next to, they’ll probably agree. The site itself is a lovely and well kept site with good sized and clean pitches. The site is right next to the entrance to the Pembrey Country Park with its woodland walks and miles of open sandy beaches with various activities on the Park to entertain children. The Site Wardens are helpful, the shop ok and the milkman and baker calling round each morning were a nice touch which the whole family enjoyed. However, we were expecting to spend our weeks holiday at the usual type of Caravan Club Site that we enjoy and not this type of commercial ‘Holiday Park’. We knew it was peak holiday season when we booked but didn’t expect….. continual dogs barking, dog mess left on the road outside our pitch – once with no sign of dog owner and once when our neighbour had to actively encourage the owner to clean it up before they tried walking off. We didn’t expect ball games close to our caravan on several occasions or groups of children cycling round on bikes without a care for the speed limits, the one way road system, the barriers or cars or footpaths or us! We didn’t expect the limited number of toilets and showers that were available and we certainly didn’t expect to find the unacceptable level of cleanliness in the toilets block. Each day the facilities were cleaned thoroughly but each day they soon became filthy to a point where we didn’t actually want to use them. Surely, as a Club, we can’t expect the Wardens to have to clean up such mess on a daily basis? As for the local area, we were disappointed to find so little to do locally. The beaches were good, the local castle was fun but there was little to keep our family entertained without driving miles. We even struggled to find a pub or restaurant that looked inviting to try ¬– a first holiday for us without spending on food or drink out! Not even one pint or coffee!!! Pembrey Park was good for walking around but by the end of the week we found visiting uncomfortable. Maybe this was due to the Police helicopter hovering over one evening looking for a man believed to be carrying a firearm…. or perhaps it was due to thieves targeting a ‘pop-up’ caravan site on the Park… or perhaps visitors to the Country Park being able to enter the Club Caravan Site without question which we also witnessed. Perhaps we had mistimed our visit, but one thing for sure. We won’t be returning.
