We have visited this site on numerous occasions, the last time about four years ago. On arrival the warden was very abrupt and this continued throughout our stay. I appreciate the current situation with covid means that members may be required to queue for the facilities, but it doesnt seem right that as the site was completely full, the facilities were closed for cleaning between 10:00am until 12:00pm and again at 14:45-15:30pm, without an alternative toilet being available (thankfully the toilets by the beach were open). We visited the Brecon Beacons site the weekend before and they did leave an alternative toilet open during cleaning.
Unfortunately due to the attitude of the staff on site we have cancelled the further two bookings for this year. As members and regular users of club sites, I must say that this is the only site that despite passing staff on numerous occasions during our stay, they did not speak or acknowledge us at any time. I appreciate this is an extra busy time for them, but they are not the only people to work extra hard during this pandemic.
I enjoyed that I could chose which pitch I wanted to stay on - the whole site was laid out well and interestingly with groups of trees. I was warmly welcomed with information and a map and really enjoyed my stay.
the site is excellent for everything, the only thing that, in my opinion is not worth the money you have to pay for it is the wi-fi. rated as silver, my opinion, not worth a penny, please be aware
Excellent staff excellent service. Great location lots to keep you occupied, also nice to sit back and take it easy. Very good access. As others have said the toilet block is in need of updating its very tiered. As usual a few people who think the rules don’t apply to them, ( car being driven wrong way around one way) as 1 example.
Thank you wardens for your hard work.
Excellent staff, very helpful and friendly, so good we stayed 2 extra nights. if you like the beach, country walks, horse riding, cycling, skiing, windsurfing, or just peace and quite then look no further this site has it all. One of the best locations we have been to, although the site is a little expensive. Despite the restrictions still had a great time.
First time visit on opening w/e (turned out to be closing w/e too!) little disappointed with advice from HQ when trying to contact site in advance. Facilities fair only, surprised routine maintenance not complete after closed period e.g. MH service point water leaking, dish wash area dirty, Access to Pembrey Park is great although the biggest shock was the dreadful state of the beach with extensive piles of rubbish along the whole beach, not CMHC fault but surely should be raised with Welsh Assembly, not good impression. would not rush back.
Just came back from spending Christmas week at this site, as we had never seen it in the winter. What a wonderful week we had and I have already booked to go again next year.
If you have dogs, this site is simply the best on the network for walks in both Summer and Winter, not a dirty paw all week!!.
I agree that the toilet blocks need updating, but I will forgive this as I love this site so much.
Spent a blustery but beautifully peaceful long weekend here to finish a piece of writing. So quiet and inspiring.
Lovely walks, spotless showers, friendly welcoming wardens.
I’ve been before both when the site is totally full and when like last weekend quiet. Will be back again perfect place to recharge.
This is without doubt my favourite site ~ why? Access to an amazing Country Park, a splendid beach and a wealth of places to visit if the mood takes you.
I have visiting this site for almost 30 years, it was much smaller back then but still had the wonderful park, beach and surroundings. It has grown considerably over the years and with the addition of the Millennium Coast Path it gained the attraction of a footpath / cycle path to satisfy most needs and with the cycle path progressing further Eastward each year it becomes more attractive. Last year saw the opening of the Welsh Road Cycling circuit almost adjacent to the Club site and venue use for Road Running events too.
Sadly now, I see the gents toilets (can't comment on the ladies obviously) looking tired and in need of a refurb, badly fitting toilet seats, cracked tiles in the showers and poor showers. The number pad door locks stay stuck open - so not secure, they are so high on the door children cannot reach them. The smaller back-up facility is looking old but is in better condition. The pitches are very scruffy weeds and grass pop up everywhere and pitch edges are overgrown, the Wardens are smashing so I have no idea if this is policy or too much work to cover??? When Terry and Will looked after the site discipline was strict but just - be 12" off the peg and Terry would have you re-pitch - even if you had the awning up (too strict). Both Terry & Will kept the pitches pristine spraying with weed-killer when the site was quiet.
The outside dish washing area is shabby but does get abused with many members leaving it dirty, inside facilities are good but again some members are not respectful to fellow members and do not leave sinks clean and tidy.
Last comment from a fellow member at the water point filling his aqua roll ~ I asked if he'd had a good time his reply "The water points OK, pressure is so low all I've done in 3 days is fill one barrel" He was right water pressure is very low, but less waste if you overfill.
YES, IT HAS FAULTS BUT IT'S STILL MY FAVOURITE SITE AND I'LL KEP GOING THERE.
We spent two weeks at Pembrey during the school holidays on a hard standing pitch and had a great time. The staff were both welcoming and friendly, great with the kids doing Tourer Exploring trails. The campsite is kept clean and tidy. The facilities are a little dated, and I would agree with previous comment about narrow shelf in showers and limited hooks. Although there was only one shower block, we did not once queue in two weeks. Excellent location for cycling/ walking, 5 minutes you are in country park next door, we loved the toboggan ride (3 for £5), miniature train ride, adventure park and girls went horse riding. Would recommend to anyone visiting this area of Wales.
