Return Visitor

This was our 3rd visit to Pembrey once again had a wonderful time, lots of cycling and things to do. However the conflicting report on arrival times, we endeavoured to arrive just after 1pm (exactly 1305hrs) and found at least 4 or 5 arrivals already setting up which means they must have arrived before 1pm. Whilst we were there we noted that some wardens allowed access prior to 1pm others not until 1pm. We travel approx 3.5 hrs to reach Pembrey and it’s annoying when we have ensured we adhere to the times laid down that others can arrive early and gain access. Also the ongoing problem with dog owners allowing their dogs to defecate on pitches, this happened within our sight at least 2/3 times, admittedly it was cleaned up however the residue still contaminates the pitch. As non pet owners (I appreciate this will cause controversy) we would like a clean pitch to set up on, perhaps pitches for non pet owners may be an idea. We stayed in a serviced pitch, they are not in the best position, perhaps a move to the row behind would be better and provide more serviced pitches. The van that visits each weekday is great and his custard tart is to die for, only wish he visited every day and perhaps stocked daily papers as well. We will be returning later in the year. Thank you to all the hard work keeping this site clean and tidy.

Great site

Driving access to site is easy. Great site. Wardens friendly and helpful. Spotlessly clean, walking access to the Pembrey Country park is gained by a gate on the west side of the site which keeps you away from the traffic going into the park.

Who Could Ask For Anything More?

We returned to Pembrey after a very long time away, and it was simply wonderful. We could not fault any part of our stay. The facilities were spotless, the staff were very helpful, and the grounds were in immaculate condition. We will return as soon as we can find another space in our calendar.

Lovely site

Must say a few words about the reception received on arrival. We were unfortunately early. Big mistake! Having been told big no no!! we were instructed to enter site and drive round and exit site as not allowed to wait at entrance, where we was not blocking any one. We drove out and found somewhere to turn around not easy as road is narrow. We then waited on main road causing congestion for other road users. I must add that the site was virtually empty it was early in season. The warden was not very accommodating .Having visited other sites with 1 pm.arrival time. We have been able to wait at check in and in some cases allowed to enter. No one can accurately time their arrival depending on distance travelled or road conditions. Another negative is the insistence that dogs must be taken off site for toileting, not always easy. The positive is the sites location , huge beach and great outdoors space. Worth returning even with abovementioned.

Enjoyed the stay despite the frosty initial welcome

We made the mistake of arriving 15 to 20 minutes before 1pm and were refused entry despite dozens of free spaces on site. I know the site rule is in after 1pm only but we've stayed here before and found others arriving well before that time. We've since had an even frontier welcome at Tredegar Park when we were 10 minutes early so I do wonder whether head office have told wardens to strictly adhere to the start times? Can anyone confirm? Apart from that we again has a nice stay here and would recommend the site fully. Just don't turn up early!

Lovely site - fully serviced pitches not in the best location!

The site is lovely, quiet and ideal for both families and couples alike. My only gripes with this site are - fully serviced pitches are in an awful position and should be avoided and are not worth the extra cost. I found this site to be expensive when compare against the independent site on Pembre Park. I paid £133 for fully serviced pitch (which was in an awful position, in my view) compared to £95 on the Pembre park site with same facilities. Apart those gripes. Great location, with excellent facilities, let down by pricing and location of pitch.

Happy as Larry

Fabulous site in a wonderful position

You really can't find fault in this site. It has everything that you expect from a CAMC site, but the position is something else. You have access to a pathway that runs all the way along the coast for about 18 miles which you can cycle along or walk. It's mostly flat and very well laid out and takes you all the way to a bird sanctuary. In the other direction is the Pembrey Country Park where you can walk for miles. The beach is accessible via the Park and is magnificent and extremely clean. This site is a MUST visit for it's position alone. We didn't eat out so cannot comment, but there are so many towns and villages within close proximity that you are certain to find something you like. With regard to the bins, well its not too much bother to walk to the gate with your rubbish, so no complaints from us.

Halloween

Visited with my daughter and niece in my motorhome. Lovely friendly greeting from all staff and chatted to Dave the Warden as I was setting up. This lovely (flat), sheltered & pretty site to our joy had been decorated for Halloween! Dave mentioned there would be a 'walk through the graveyard*' in Halloween costumes later with a prize for the best outfit and this would be followed by some music and hot dogs and mulled wine (for a very reasonable fee of £1.50). We were delighted - but readily admit that despite the fact we had parked opposite, hadn't noticed either the graveyard or poor Eric** (who had found himself in something of a tangle in a nearby tree), until 2 hours after arrival! (Note to fellow travellers, do NOT rely on us for observational skills or emergency aid when we are erecting our awning... and yes, it took us 2 hours - oh how we laughed!!). We had mentioned to Dave that we would indeed be delighted to attend and would be dressing in our onesies - he insisted that we could just come as we were, but we planned on walking through some local woods after so wanted to be suitably dressed... We attended the Halloween Hoola later that evening (early enough for children to enjoy the experience but dark enough to be fun) and enjoyed seeing that so many adults and children had dressed up. We of course, looked ridiculous but that was the point. After the children had their costume & dance competition, the three of us were asked if we would like to do a dance for the gathering. Well, how could we refuse! I fear that Mamma Mia will never be the same for all those who were there... and children were suitably horrified - it seems that 3 grown women in onsies dancing to Mamma Mia is a lot more horrifying than anything the horror channel can produce. However, we were rewarded with a glass of mulled wine which was super. The staff here were just fantastic. We had a wonderful time and will be returning (if they let us!). The site is clean and tidy and really well appointed. Yes the bins are at the front, but it really isn't far to walk wherever you are on site and it is very close to the toilet block. We were allowed to stay a little later after normal checkout because it took as long to take the blasted awning down as it did to put it up! I will get better though. Probably. Was surprised that despite the windy weather, we hardly felt it on our pitch as it was so sheltered. Great all season pitches too! *created by the staff ** tastefully done

First time here.

We visited this site for the first time in September and were impressed by the layout and variety of the pitches. The location is excellent with easy access to the endless beach and the natural facilities of the country park. The wardens were most helpful in assisting us to move pitch to one that suited us better the morning after our arrival and were very friendly throughout. This was one of four sites were visited on our tour of S. Wales and we noted the move to centralised waste collection at them all. Although this is slightly less convenient than the old system of bins at every service point it is very much the norm on Continental sites and not really a major problem as it can be dropped off each time you exit the site if a special trip is too much exercise for you! Would certainly visit this site again when touring S. Wales in the future and recommend it to both families and we oldies.

Cleaning times

This is lovely site right next to the country park. I have to complain about the times the cleaning is carried out at the toilet/shower block at 10.30 to 12, this is a ridiculous time as this is when most people want to use the facilities, I have been to other CMC sites and most do their cleaning in the afternoon when everyone is out for the day. Also the bins and recycling are not by the taps anymore but there are big euro/biffa bins by reception. A van comes round every morning selling milk etc a good idea but please don't beep the horn at 9 as some like to lay in on a weekend after working all week.
