Disappointed

This was our first stay at this site.good location,facilities were spotless. However,although it’s a rural location on a country park,there is often a continuous noise from a nearby racing circuit which really spoiled the tranquility of the site during the day. Half way through the week,all of the bins at the service points were removed for reasons unknown,meaning you had to do a long walk to the site entrance to dispose of your rubbish. Although the facilities were clean,shutting them for cleaning between 10.30-12.30 was a poor choice of times.why couldn’t they be closed in the afternoon at anytime?,and I didn’t appreciate being barked at by one of the wardens that the facility was closing for cleaning at 10.25. Whilst the site had rules,it seems the wardens were a bit haphazard of how and when these were implemented.there is no dedicated dog walk on site,so you have to walk off site to allow for dog exercise/toilet,one morning my wife was chastised abruptly by one warden for the dog doing its business,although we always clean up after our pets.we noticed other campers dogs doing the same,but not being challenged.although there is a 10 pm traffic curfew,on a number of occasions vehicles were driving around the site after 11 pm,and although there was a Covid ‘no visitor’ rule,the motorhome next to us had visitors staying.? We found a couple of the wardens ‘sergeant’ like and this took the ambience of the site away. Unfortunately,if you have a less than perfect holiday you tend not to go back or recommend a site which I would apply here. Shame.

First time disappointed

We've visited this site for over 20 years and always loved it but this year is the first year of disappointment. The bins have all been taken off site and are all now placed at the entrance of the site meaning you have to carry your rubbish to the entrance, all the money they charge to stay and you have to walk almost out of the site to dispose of rubbish. The shower block has always had a spare lock to use when cleaning is in progress for the main block but this year the spare blocks have been shut down meaning from 11am until 12pm daily you have nowhere to toilet or shower! Fist time for us to ever be disappointed with this site!

Comment from the Club

We just wanted to let you know why these changes have been made to clear up any confusion. The new waste management process has been implemented due to health and safety issues and to assist with the vast volume of rubbish on site. The use of alternative toilets during cleaning is simply down to the site staff all doing their utmost to adhere to the Welsh COVID regulations and guidelines.Unfortunately, they have experienced continued misuse of the facilities including cutting zip tied doors of the closed toilet and shower cubicles. We hope this helps explain the changes and would like to assure you the team at Pembrey Country Park work incredibly hard to ensure that everyone stays with them has the best possible time during their stay.

Pembrey - What A Fantastic Place To Stay

Fantastic site and fantastic staff. Except for the Covid break have been visiting for 7 years. Interesting to sit outside the ‘van on a Friday/Saturday lunchtime and see some arrivals walk thru’ the barrier with chairs and steps to reserve pitches for themselves and/or others for their weekend stay. Is this fair when there is a queue? Also driving a camper onto an already pitch in use pitch when the camper had gone out for the day and kicking over the ‘camper using this pitch’ sign. I guess some people are just ignorant. Lovely and peaceful during the week but some weekends can see a change. Based on continuous drinking and rise in noise level after 9 hours and their dogs constantly barking. However, hats off to the Wardens who curtailed those problems close to midnight. Neither were the Wardens aware of some people ‘reserving’ pitches rather than taking their turn and customers ignoring the protocol of taking over a pitch already in use. Having said all that the site and staff are quite fantastic and the Baker who calls sells cakes to die for. Will I be back next year? Of course I will as I am not going to let a minority of people spoi my stay at a stunning location.

Beautiful location

Fabulous site adjacent to Pembrey country park and beach. The site itself is very well run with friendly, helpful staff. The entrance as you arrive is one of the best we have come across for a feeling of spaciousness and with beautiful flowers and hanging baskets. You can walk directly from the site into the Country park and then on to the eight mile long sandy beach. A real haven for dog walkers, cyclists and beach lovers.

Well run and very clean

We stayed here for a total of 12 nights. Mix of grass and hardstanding pitches. Approach and direction were simple to follow and booking in was easy. Then to find a pitch you like - interesting to watch people swapping pitches and using various ways of *reserving* favoured pitches. We got lucky with our pitch on the outskirts as someone vacated just as we arrived at 3.00. There was some daytime building noise from a property close by but at night it was very quiet. The staff here seem to be on the go constantly keeping the site clean and tidy. Superb access to the neighbouring Country Park which has lots to offer and a lot of visitors but is so vast we rarely met anyone else while walking through it. Beach access nearby fantastic and rarely had anyone else on it. As others have mentioned, the wet/ humid conditions of the park nextdoor are perfect for monster size mosquitoes and horseflies, despite being liberal with the citronella we did get bitten a fair bit. A nice site and seemingly quite popular with local people too. We didn't use the facilities so cannot comment, but did have to request a replacement hose for a badly fitting/leaking service point which was changed the same day.

Well-kept site

Well kept site in a great location by the entrance to Pembrey Country Park. Large pitches - a mix of grass, hardstanding and fully serviced. Friendly staff keep the site in pristine condition. Great location for cycle trips along the coast path.

Lovely stay BEWARE OF MOSQUITOS

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay but with the help of the very friendly wardens left a day early. I was badly bitten by mosquitos the weather had turned very warm and was then wet. I do feel repellant should be stocked in the shop and a warning somewhere. The site itself is perfect a good mix of grass and hard standing, we had a hardstanding with a generous amount of grass around us. The facilities are good but in order to use the motorhome service point you have to go through the exit after use and back in again. We were politely told we couldn’t use the other point with a motorhome. We luckily took a waste trolley and a watering can. The toilets are closed for an hour and a half and is the only block. We will return but armed with lots of repellant. Maybe. Loved the country park and beach. So peaceful at night. No shops around so the milk van and bread and grocery van are a godsend. Unfortunately in the week no meal vans visit. But there is a pizza van at the weekend.

Great location, great team, what's not to like?

We spent 3 nights here exploring the Country Park with our dogs and had a marvellous time. We walked into the Country Park every day and varied our walks between beach and forest trails. As we had arrived from the Gower, we didn't need to go back over to the beaches there but they are very accessible had we needed to. We ventured into Burry Port to visit friends and can recommend the Crazy Crepes in the harbour! Pembrey is a great site with a nice balance of grass and hard standing pitches, nice relaxed atmosphere and the team are fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend it

Fantastic Family Holiday at this site

We've just spent 8 nights having a great time here. From the initial call (late booking due to overseas holiday cancelled) Gail and John were brilliant - our motorhome is 10m we fitted nicely on the hardstanding pitch with a freshly cut grass area around us. We use our onboard facilities & my only comment regarding the pitch is that there are not many water points close by- In a motorhome bring an aqua roll and pump to fill up and save the hassle of 'unsetting' everything and driving around the site to the service points! A waste hog is ideal for the grey & black tanks. Although, we were very lucky, John (one of the wardens) was amazing, I passed my hose to him on his season pitch next door to fill up - this was fantastic and incredible service. We were blessed with amazing sunshine...great for sitting out...also great for the huge mosquito type flies... bring your repellent and candles if sitting out in the summer.! The site is right next to the country park, you can cycle in or walk in FOC - we cycled every day along the coastal path, one day to Llanelli - its lovely, flat and plenty of stop offs for a cuppa or ice cream. A very friendly site for all ages, we have a 14yr old with us, lots of families, dogs on site, we didn't hear any barking at night. Our daughter loved the stone baked Pizza oven that visits the site Friday and Saturday. The site does go very quiet at night, we sat out at 9pm sipping a cold wine and it was quiet, maybe everyone was in their unit avoiding the mozzys? :) The wardens especially John and Gail go above and beyond to make sure you have a brilliant stay - we will be back for sure. Thanks for a great week ;)

Great site, beautiful location.

The hard standing pitches are soulless, regimented and in my opinion, too small. The grass pitches are fabulous though, loads of room which gives you a relaxed space. Best part of this site are this season’s wardens who are superb. Friendly, polite, efficient and unobtrusive. I was rightly admonished for an error on my part but this was delivered with such charm, skill and subtlety that it was impressive. I frequently read negative comments about wardens but have nothing but admiration for the team at Pembrey. I highly recommend this site if you want proximity to a beach, great cycling and a holiday away from bars, restaurants and shops (there aren’t any) ... heaven. If you are adults who don’t like children then this site isn’t for you because it’s very popular with families and the kids made loads of noise playing about the site. Personally the sound of kids playing and enjoying themselves gives us joy but understand that some seek to avoid it; just so you’re aware.
