A relaxing stay

We were lucky to be blessed with 10 days of sunshine for our second visit to Pembrey. Main facilities were all closed due to C19 regulations but we managed fine in the van. Site is well managed and maintained and there was a very peaceful atmosphere for the whole time we were there. We enjoyed lots of great cycling on the many local paths as well as forest and beach walks on the doorstep. We loved the location and explored a little further afield as well this time with trips to Rossili Beach on the Gower, Tenby to see Wally the walrus and Llansteffan for spectacular walks on the headland. Thanks again wardens for keeping us all safe and providing a lovely environment to relax in.

Autumn splendour

We've just enjoyed 3 days here and were thrilled with the autumn colours still on the trees. In addition, the bird life was spectacular, thanks in part to our neighbour having a feeding station in front of his 'van. The 2 person restriction for the shower blocks didn't cause problems as the site was around half full, but the amount of yellow and black hazard tape throughout, we felt, was excessive, like going into a war zone! We cycled each day along the trail to Llanelli and on our third day diverted up the Swiss Valley path before coming off at Cynheidre and looping back to Pwll. From there we continued back around the coast to Cefn Sidan, where the kite surfers treated us to some amazing tricks over the waves. All in all, a pleasant visit again for us and great to get away, even for a few days.

Excellent Location

This was our first visit to this site and we thoroughly enjoyed it despite the weather. It’s location next the the Country Park and Coastal Path ensure there is plenty to do and see. The nearest shops are in Burry Port almost 3 miles away but an easy walk or cycle.

Always a great stay but spoiled this time by crazy toilet block system

We often come to this site, especially with our grandchildren as they love the freedom, the playground, the park and the tarmac for biking and skating. This is very much a family site and the children make friends every time. However, if you don't like children around, then during school holidays, this isn't the site for you. It's quiet at night as there are no roads nearby but there can be some military aircraft noise at times in the day and there's a race circuit a few miles away where cars and bikes can be practising on certain days. What spoilt this trip was the crazy system with the toilet block. We didn't use it much during Covid but sometimes you need to. It may have changed now but in August they had the small block permanently closed (staff only) and the other block limited to 2 people and closed for 2 hours in the morning and 45 mins in the afternoon. Madness. Everyone understands the need for care during the current crisis but this was just ridiculous. Long queues; people in the queue turned away at 10.00, etc. We have stayed on other sites in Wales and England since July and none were as heavily restricted and seem to work fine. This wasn't just our view but everyone staying here. The block could also do with updating and when you consider the fees charged by the Club these days you wonder where all the money is going. I'm not alone in this view. Apart from that and the usual infestation of dogs, we enjoyed.

Not a peaceful site during school holidays.

Pembrey is in a lovely location but the site is starting to suffer from very noisy family groups, with children cycling in all direction during the day and older kids hanging around after dark! The wardens are nowhere to be seen during the day to control these kids and disappear after dark despite very noisy families drinking late into the night. The toilet block only allows two people at a time, when similar size sites we’ve stayed at allow 4 people. No reason for this and it creates queues and frustration at the toilet blocks. It seems like the more facilities that are taped close the less work for the wardens!! I’m hope that’s not the reason. Question: how does a mum or dad shower younger children if they have more than one child? Mum or Dad back and fore multiple times with each child. Easily resolved by opening up the second toilet block for family groups only! Come on site, use your imagination and be helpful to your members. No cover over the booking in hatch which is now outside. So you’ll get very wet waiting to book in. Come on, put up a temporary cover. Disappointing site that I won’t use for a while as all I want is a peaceful site with accessible facilities.

Pembrey Country Park

This is a lovely site set just outside Pembrey Country Park. The Park is around 550 acres, so there is lots of good walking and the beach is close by. The site was very clean and tidy, and the wardens were friendly, helpful, and hard working. Due to Covid we have not used any of the toilet blocks this year, so can;t comment on those.There is lots of good cycling through the park and along the costal path, its a 15 minute ride to Burry Port where there are supermarkets, fish and chip shops and a lovely harbour. We have stayed on this site quite a number of times and iys one of our favourites, highly recommended

A very pleasant stay.

This was my very first trip ever, and as a lone female traveller was a little nervous. I need not have been! On arrival I was met by a very friendly warden who explained everything to me and told me where I could park and how to use the electric hook up. On setting up my van I discovered my gas was so tightly closed I couldn't swich it on. It was no trouble for the warden to get a spanner and get it working for me. The site was nicely laid out and everyone seemed friendly, I felt very safe being here alone. Due to Covid I used the facilities in my van and not the shower block, so can't comment on it. Overall it's a great place, with lots of walking/ cycling, and horseriding very close by. I shall be making a return visit in future.

Insufficient facilities even before COVID

Good points of this site: Friendly welcoming and hardworking wardens. Excellent children's park Well laid out site Next to a lovely country park with good dog walks Just on the edge of millennium cycle route. What had always let this site down are the insufficient and stretched toilet/shower facilites. There is only one main block which is nowhere near enough especially as this is a popular site which is often full. Now with CVOVID restrictions there was only 2 people allowed at any time in either women's or men's Showers/toilets and no backup during 2 hour long twice a day cleaning. This means anyone without their own toilet facilities e.g campervan would have no means of going to the toilet. We would however like to thank the wardens for their hard work and cheerful disposition and working with these restrictions at this difficult time. Also on another note a member fairly near to us had a dreadful cough which caused stress as you had no idea if it was COVID. Could I suggest that members who have horrible coughs for whatever reason only known to themselves stay at home as the cough at this time caused concern to other members.

Nice mix of hard standing & grass pitches

Well located in a peaceful area adjacent to a country park access to expansive beach. Sustrans bike routes 4 & 47 accessible for some lovely scenic rides, the millennium cycle path around the coast to Burry port, Llanelli & beyond a delight. Lots to see & do from this site. COVID 19 made the facilities problematic.. 2 persons only at any one time.. if both having a shower no access to toilets or sinks for those waiting outside.. should be 3 labelled pegs ...1 for each type of cubicle. Wardens helpful & busy keeping site in good order.

Location, location, location

Location, location, location - and this site is perfect. Sand, cycling, sightseeing and walking are all on your doorstep. We loved the layout with a good mixture of pitches to suit everyone's taste and so quiet and peaceful - we slept so well during our 12 night stay. Thanks , as always, to the wardens for keeping everything clean and tidy, particularly during these times of covid. We certainly felt safe and clean at Pembrey from the moment we arrived and throughout our stay - well done wardens. Would we visit again? You bet we would. We loved all the great cycling routes on the NCN tracks using the train to return on our linear rides to Camarthen and Swansea. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and are already planning a return visit next April.
