The rooms are a real problem and spoiling this site
We stayed for three nights here in early July. First the good points. The warden who booked us in was very friendly and more relaxed than is often the case and we were informed we could either drive or reverse onto the all important peg. This is important for campervans like ours to have the opening door into the sun. The shower/dishwashing facilities were cleaned to the normal high standard and the block appears to have been refurbished not too long ago. There is only one block but 10 showers for ladies anyway. Grass was kept cut and bins etc emptied. We loved the location as it was great for using our electric bikes into St Davids, to the beach and as far as Porth Gain to visit the excellent Shed for fish and chips.
Now for the irritants. My usual moan is why does the shower block have to be cleaned so early, at least 10.30 here not 10.00 as in some places, and why does it have to be closed for 1.5 hours. Most commercial UK and foreign sites manage to keep blocks just as clean as the club without closing at all. Most are happy to use the facilities whilst a cleaner is present. For the 1.5 hours of closure it leaves one toilet for the entire site. Why not clean the block later in the day so people can enjoy being on holiday and not have to dash to get there before it closes. With four wardens it must be possible to clean and deal with new arrivals? Also on Sunday anyway reception also closed for the hours the block was being cleaned meaning having rushed to shower we couldn't get our Sunday paper to enjoy.
Major problem is though that the site is being overrun by the rookery. We live in the country and are used to cows, sheep and early morning jackdaws but here there are literally hundreds of rooks making a racket from 3am until late at night without let up. As they roost in the centre of the main field they affect you on most pitches and after three days we had had enough of them. Something needs to be done to control them even if it means cutting down the trees. if I return to the area I will chose nearby commercial options because of this problem. I do not want to be woken at 3am every day.
