Hi Matt

I'm assuming you mean Pillbach in Bettws Ifan near Aberporth? We sited our van for a few months there last year. A colleague of OH still has his static there and he said the Managers have changed so I couldn't say what they're like, but as for facilities:

They have a good sized clubhouse, pool right outside it, kids room with pool table and machines (our little darlings kept asking for a quid to put in the machines!), laundry area and the best shower block we've seen yet (we haven't seen many LOL!). Seriously, it was only built over the winter of 2004/5 and it was part of the kids' holiday just to go to the showers. Men and women have their own little flashy-credit card thingy's to unlock the doors, and the actual showers are power showers where you just keep pressing the button - no messing around with knobs and dials. They have a fair few statics, 2 tourer fields and a tent field. And a play area for kids.

We were there at the beginning of the season so it was quite quiet, but I think it gets quite busy. A row of vans sits around the perimeter of the field, then there's a gravel/grass road in front of them, then on the "island" in the middle, there are more pitches with ranch fencing separating them. They were a bit too much on top of each other for us (we like our space), but it was a nice clean site, only a couple of miles from Aberporth beach and I'd go again if I was touring in the area (ours is sited). We only moved ours off because it was a bit too much of a trek through the very picturesque B-roads, Pembrokeshire's quicker.

Have you been on their website?

Ooh, I just noticed you have a tent!!! Don't go in the wet weather, a friend of OH got flooded out one night last year when we had a sudden downpour, when the evening before they'd sat out till midnight enjoying the weather! The whole family were covered in mud, but at least they had good showers to get clean
