This is a fantastic little site with plenty to do out and about. We where very impressed with Pembrokeshire, a great alternative to Cornwall that is no where near as busy. The site was clean and tidy and was in a great location with a surfing beach just down the hill from it.
Favourite site
Wonderful site,scenery,wildlife.Visit every year our favourite site,only drawback is no wifi
Nice site, some small gripes
We stayed here in August, and whilst I cannot fault the friendliness of the wardens and the layout of the site, the main grip was the times chosen to clean the toilet block. 10:30 - 12:00 seemed to be when most people actually wanted to use the facilities and this was when they chose to clean them ! Perhaps going to a time later in the day when most folks are out exploring would be more suitable? Worth noting as well that there is no wi-fi on site & mobile signal is "variable" (this is great if you really want to live off-grid for a bit, but after about a week we started to get withdrawal symptoms). The road in is quite narrow & don't expect all drivers to be considerate to the fact that you are towing a caravan ! Local Nisa supermarket in St. Davids provided a good (and mostly cheap) place to shop.
A nice site
We stayed here from 8th to 15th August 2015, accompanying a disabled friend and his wife. The wardens are to be commended for their helpfulness, as they allowed us to use an otherwise closed pitch so we could be next to them. This otherwise small gesture made a huge difference to the support we were able to give.
It was a pity that a coded lock has had to be put onto the toilet block, due to vandalism from certain people, presumed to be from the neighbouring site.
Be warned that the approach road B4583 is very narrow in places. We damaged the caravan trying to squeeze into a too small gateway to allow a tractor and trailer past. (He would not give way despite the fact that had he backed up 20 yards or so, the lane widened enough to pass.) It is also the main route to Whitesands Bay, and you should expect to meet not inconsiderable opposing traffic. We solved the problem for the return journey by leaving at 07:00!
We were aware we were visiting in school holidays, and were not therefore surprised to find children racing round on bicycles. Family friendly, and we would imagine quite peaceful out of school holidays.
All in all, a nice site with friendly, helpful wardens.
A Little Lacking
We spent 10 days at this site at the height of the summer school holidays. The site was practically full the whole time we were there. The weather was not kind to us being very wet and windy but we still enjoyed a number of walks along the coastal path which I have to say has some of the best sea views in the country.
If you stay on this site in the holidays you need to be aware that there is only one toilet block serving some 150 pitches and it is not adequate at certain times of the day. However the block was clean and tidy most of the time. Whilst we were there the wardens had to fit a keypad to the toilet block door as it seems likely that the campers on other sites which surround this one were using the facilities. This may have contributed to the overcrowding problems encountered. Having said that the site is a good base for walking the coastal path and visiting the beaches especially if you enjoy surfing.
Nice but room for improvement
The site is in a lovely setting but disappointed with times for cleaning with early closing time. In the two weeks we were there was one shower cubicle in both the ladies and gents out of order. For a site of that size needs more, another toilet block. Toilet block closes early in the day and when it is closed the laundry also closes. There is one spare toilet but not really enough for a large site. On two occasions whilst we were there there was no hot water. Hard standings would be good but we understand this is because CC don't own all of the site. Would also be good to have somewhere to walk/exercise dogs. When toilets were being cleaned the shop/reception was closed too.

St Davids
This is a really friendly site the wardens are excellent helpful & kept the site clean tidy & rubbish free. We have a motor home which means moving a round lanes difficult so we like public transport which St David's has a service runs Past the entrance of the site which cost £1 when ever you get on the bus if you are going to white sands St David's & plenty of other places. If you have a car it is a great place to tour from. The toilet block is kept very clean plenty of showers wash basins, a good laundry & washing up room over all the site is in a beautiful area with nice scenery & very peaceful.

Fantastic site!
We visited this site and stayed for 4 nights in July and absolutely loved it! The staff were all very friendly and the site was immaculately clean! The toilet block was first class, plenty of hot water, spacious dressing rooms and plenty of toilets. Myself and my daughter loved the added bonus of being able to listen to the radio while we showered, a super addition!
As for the area, WOW! A first visit to Pembrokeshire for us but definitely not our last! The coastal walks were fantastic with absolutely breathtaking scenery, we even saw a few seals bobbing their heads up and down out of the water, just perfect!
The city of St David is beautiful with various good places to eat and enjoy the surroundings and the cathedral is just stunning!
Already thinking about booking for next year and staying a bit longer!
Highly recommended!
Excellent site
We have just come back from two weeks at this lovely site. It is ideally located near to one of the best beaches in Pembrokeshire, great clean and spacious facilities. Very friendly and helpful wardens. We ordered fresh pastries and gorgeous bread, fetched by the warden each morning from local bakers - still warm when it arrived.
Can not recommend this site enough!

A Bit Disappointing
The site is very well situated, being but a short walk to the beach, and an even shorter walk to the excellent Celtic Coaster bus service which will take you to and from the wonderful city of St David’s and/or the beach. Should you prefer to walk, the city is little more than a mile’s easy stroll through delightful countryside and, further afield, unlimited walking along the coastal path is a joy. The site itself though, we found rather disappointing, and in need of some improvement compared to other Club sites we have visited. It is quite a large site, having 115 pitches and, perhaps because it was mid-August and the site virtually full, we found the toilet facilities inadequate for the numbers involved. It really needs a second toilet block. Despite the best efforts of the wardens, some toilets were horribly blocked and unuseable. Several pitches had been badly affected by groundsheets left for lengthy periods, and there are no hardstandings. We felt, had the weather been really bad, there would have been a real chance of our motorhome becoming bogged down. We also felt that more speed humps on the roads were needed, as some drivers clearly had no idea of the 5 mph limit, although it has to be admitted that this is not the only site to which this applies! All in all, we enjoyed our brief stay, but we have been on better Club sites, and I’m sorry to say it may be some time before we return.
