Peace and Quiet

First visit to this site and what a pleasant experience. Lovely site with big pitches. A shower block with space to spare. Helpful wardens who gave us so much useful information. (Definitely use the coastal hopper to get round in summer) And if that wasn't enough, there is the Cathedral, Bishops Palace, Whitesands Bay and St Davids Head to visit. And just to balance things out, wd could have done without the dawn chorus each day at 0430, there's such a thing as too much nature

Excellent

2nd time at this site, but this time for longer, 8 nights. Usual good clean facilities as expected from caravan Club. The shop supplies bread, daily papers, order the day before. A further shop around the corner at a nearby site offers slightly more. Lovely walks around site, to Whitesands Bay, coastal walks and to St. Davids . An ideal place if with a motor home as you can get about, walking or the frequent coastal bus, which is brilliant, helpful drivers. Will definitely visit again

A really nice site

We stayed here for a week at Spring Bank, 2019 and really enjoyed the experience. The site feels "loved" and is well cared for with this extending to the toilet and shower block and the wardens were polite and friendly at all times. You just have to take a walk around the Whitesands area, which I would thoroughly encourage you to do anyway as the scenery is delightful, to appreciate the standard of this site compared to the ones dotted around catering for the crusty surfer community.. Ok, there are crows and they do make "crow noises" during the day, particularly during the dusk tree-top turf war, but you get used to them and they are an integral part of the landscape and are perfectly entitled to their continued tenure. I really enjoyed getting up early to watch the rabbits, particularly the 4 babies playing in the relative safety to the side to the toilet block. I sadly didn't see a badger though the signs of their nocturnal presence are apparent. St David's cathedral is only a 30m walk from the site which proved very convenient after an enjoyable evening at the music festival though the wardens can point you in the way of local taxis.

Lovely place

This was our second stay here and we loved it. The wardens were friendly and always around the site keeping everything clean and tidy. We stayed in the bottom of the meadow and pitch was a little bumpy due to rabbits digging but it was fine for us and had a fantastic view of the mountains. It was a bit quieter at this part of the site as it’s away from the site road so no traffic passing our pitch. Yes the rooks were noisy but we told where they were when we checked in, and it did not really bother us. On site shop has fresh bread, croissants and papers daily but need to be ordered the day before. Lovely little park area for the children. The toilet block was kept immaculate and just the standard you would expect from a club site. One of the wardens went out of her way to help us when we had car trouble and even put us in touch with a local garage, unfortunately he could not help us and had to take car to main dealer which delayed our departure time, as we kept them informed of the situation there was no issue with us leaving after 12pm, and the lovely lady even told us not to rush when we were packing up. We walked into St David’s and visited the cathedral, we also visited the beautiful white sands beach, great for surfing or bodyboarding well worth the visit, you can walk but it’s quite a steep walk back up so we chose to take the car and parking was £5 per day or you can ask for a week pass for £20, the land is owned by the parish of St David’s and all funds raised from parking go back into St David’s to make improvements for locals and tourists. The roads leading to this site can get quite narrow and a little hairy at times, but it certainly won’t stop me from returning. Be aware there is no club WiFi on this site, we didn’t know until we arrived. Overall A lovely relaxing holiday with beautiful scenery.

Natural beauty

It was our first time to stay at St David's and we were more than happy. There are improvements to be made, currently a new dog walk being developed. We would also like to see the motorhome drop point being extended. Perhaps some hard stands would be an advantage. All grass pitches in a Meadow. The staff were friend,y and knowledgeable about the local area and the toilet facilities were very clean. Shop well stocked with orders able to be placed for Croissant, pain chocolat, bread and newspapers. There were obviously preferred pitches by regulars and people were moving into these as they became available. Bottom of the site! All grass with plenty of water points around the site. The crows!! It's nature and when the site was quiet the crows were noisy as the site filled up the crows seemed quieter. We enjoyed watching them. So convenient to the coastal footpath and St David's. The coastal hopper bus was a bonus £3 for a day ticket friendly and helpful drivers. we will definitely return here. Plenty to do and see and wonderful walking.

Lovely quiet site, well maintained.

A warm welcome, clean facilities and well maintained site. Loved the information shack. Great location for visiting St. David’s, the coastal path or whitesands. Very noisy crows, but I don’t mind that and they stop when it gets dark! Reception sold some food and caravanning essentials. Children enjoyed the play area. Pitch grassy and a bit bumpy, but OK. Overall an enjoyable stay.

Unfriendly and noisy

Whilst I appreciate that nothing can be done about the noise from the crows, the noise is continuous and so peaceful it is not! Also, and again I appreciate that the site was full but warden in reception was more keen on telling us what we were not allowed to do than saying hello. Her exact words were if you are not exactly on the peg you will be moved. I have been a club member for several years and I know to pitch to the peg. Hello and welcome would have been nice! Also WiFi- we have paid for a years WiFi, I had research work to do and couldn’t as there is none, so take not if you need it you will have to go into st David’s. Having had my rant it’s a lovely site with beautiful views and we will be back as it’s fairly local for us.

Beautiful Location

This was our first visit to St David's and we found it a lovely site with beautiful views all around. We have two cocker spaniels and walking is a key part of our trips. There were great walks directly from the campsite and we did two walks using the Pembroke Coastal Path and another into St David's. Nice clean and tidy shower block and a pretty level grass pitch. We had been a little worried from other reviews about noise from the resident crows but while you could see and hear them in the day we had no noise at night so really they just add to the character and charm of the site. Good to hear that a dog walk is being added to the site as you have to walk along roads & lanes to let dogs off the lead, though it is only 25 mins to Whitesands Beach where they can be off the lead until May. The wardens were extremely welcoming and the site has a lovely relaxed atmoshphere. If you visit early or late in the season be aware buses may not be running as they are seasonal. We will definitely be returning to St Davids.

First Visit to St Davids

The site was very clean and tidy well kept as you would expect from the Club, The only issue i would raise is before you visit you would benefit in reading the club rule book as it would appear i broke 2 of them. I had no idea that i was doing anything incorrect but was told twice to the contrary, My electrical lead was removed by the wardens while i was out for the day as i was using a duel connection point which cut of the power to my camper van which then lead to the ice in the freezer compartment melting and spilling onto the floor inside the van. I accept that i may have done wrong but would have preferred to have been consulted first and then disconnected where i could then have taken the appropriate action to avoid the water inside my van, The following morning the warden did explain things but the damage was already done at this point. It all felt a little like being back at school and being told off by the teachers not conducive to having a good time while on holiday
