 My third visit in 3yrs to this site, have stayed a total of 4 weeks on this wonderful site. Always a pleasant & warm welcome, with honest warning of gales expected on very first night!
It's dramatic location, right next to the sea means the weather can be wild. Hearing the waves at night & the stunning sunsets are more than compensation though. The shower block is great and well kept.
A covered area with washing up facilities & selection of books, games is welcome too - especially for using my stove to boil my kettle when the rain or wind a bit too much. There's a pub next door but have never experienced any noisy overspill from that.
I like a quiet site and this site us mainly good in this respect. Kids having fun is most noise have heard, not disturbing noise. Good bus service into Haverfordwest and along coast path. Stunning walks on coast path to Solva and St David's start a few yards from campsite.
The beach takes less than 3mins to reach with lots of watersports available for those inclined. I love this site & hope to keep going back again and again. The people who run it are down to earth, approachable & kind. So cheap too!

We are new to this camping game, and just got a vintage VW campervan Talent. We started our trip from Bedford to start exploring Wales. After a first couple of dodgy nights with weather and sleeping, we settled and moved each day from Cardiff area, Barry island, Tenby, Haverford West and then Skomer island (fantastic to see the puffins and all other birds). We then moved again visiting Little Haven and Broadhaven who both have fantastic beaches. We passed through and came across this campsite at Newgale, RIGHT ON THE BEACH SIDE. This is a stunning beach and so big, and with so much space we were not used to such luxury. What a stunning location. We were greeted by the lovely Stella who was warm and welcoming and we decided to stay, well 3 nights in the end. The location has everything, space, friendly campers, close to a pub with food served, a shop and cafe next door to that, and we used the bus which is a great service either way, but we went to St. Davids to see the lovely cathedral. This site had hook ups which we used, a very clean toilet and shower facility, night toilets, washing up area with library, and drinking water and fill up if required. Prices we thought were very reasonable especially as the site is so close to the most wonderful beach where you can kayak or surf or just enjoy the sands with walking. This all helped to make our holiday memorable and we will come back here next time, maybe end our north Wales tour here. We had mixed weather, hot sunshine, strong winds and on our last day a little storm, but who cares? It is this site I strongly recommend, and we look forward to seeing lovely Stella again soon. Just brilliant!

Very friendly and welcoming site owner who always took time to answer any questions and who I enjoyed having friendly chats with whenever we met.
Proper HOT showers (50p for 5 mins) and free cold shower if you are brave enough, ample clean toilets and even a night time toilet as well as washing up facilities, an information centre with books, DVDs and local bus timetables and routes. Only drawback was no shop.
No dogs allowed or young groups which meant the site was very quiet most of the time and relaxing.
The location was amazing as it is a few minutes away from Newgale beach which is a mecca for surfers and beach lovers (awarded blue flag status and has 3 lifeguard posts manned 9-5 I think).
Can't complain at the price as it was £8 per night for a single tent and as a bonus you get 2 days free if you book 5 days.
I spent the time I was there learning to bodyboard, exploring St. Davids and even tried some coasteering for the first time at the big blue experience (which was amazing) and is one of the 3 local activity/surf shops.
2 local cafes which were a little expensive but served good food.
Avoided the pub as didn't want to pay their prices but the food looked great and big portions. Did get a pint of bitter shandy at £3. 90 from there so didn't use it after that.
Highly recommend this place as a stop off or long stay campsite and now I have my own wetsuit and bodyboard I will be back there soon as it has a nice feel to the place.

Facilities are very good, great location, fantastic cafe down the road (a little pricey but good food) and fantastic pub (great value for money with a very long list of specials) practically on the campsite. Would have preferred less rules and notifications. Unfortunately there are no local shops so buying milk & bread etc became an issue for us as we were cycle touring.

The owners of the site deserve a pat on the back for even being able to open for the Easter break after seeing pictures of the floods earlier this year.
We've used and reviewed this site before, so knew what we were getting in relation to facilities, beach, surrounding area etc. However, the sea has left a degree of sludge on the main area that needs to dry out a bit more. The pub appears to have been refurbished and remains a good place to spend time if the weather is bad. We were lucky to have 2 warm days, but the evenings were very cold so we just stayed the 1 night.
Showers clean and in good order, as found in the past. Electric is paid for by the day, not what you use. We will be back later in the spring/summer when it's a bit warmer.

Spent one night here but time enough to appreciate the fantastic location across the road from the huge beach.
Unfortunately the waves weren't very good but this gave us the chance to do some more of the Pembrokeshire Coastal path to Solva.
This area has a great coastal bus service which enables you to get around quite easily and we caught the bus back to the site.
The facilities block was, at first glance, a bit nondescript but on entering proved to be first class. Yes the showers are 50p but at £14 per night without EHU we felt this was fair.
We were advised on arrival that some of the site may suffer flooding if heavy rain came and, as there was some forecast, we took this into account and got a pitch at the back of the field which proved fine.
We ate at the Duke Of Edinburgh which we found reasonable, though not a massive choice, and earlier had breakfast at Sands café which we found friendly but a bit pricey.
Would definitely return to this site.

Spent 4 nights at this site in late July. Weather was good on the whole, rained only on days of arrival & departure. Very enjoyable on the whole. The cost was £95 inc electricity. 2 adults & 2 children.
Showers pretty good, 50p for 5 mins but you have to put the money into the slot outside the cubicle and dart in to save time. On one occasion I did this to find the temp gauge missing so had to have a cold shower. There was also an occasion when washing up that the hot water ran out. Most sites don't charge for hot water, but I suppose this site does because it can, location being that good. The block was consistently clean.
The site is prone to flooding and drainage is not the best. We were fortunate to have a tent footprint as you could feel the rain gathering underfoot after it rained.
The site was very family orientated as they don't accept groups of young people. It's therefore quiet and I didn't notice any obtrusive music from fellow campers. The beach is huge, but not easy to negotiate over the stone flood barricade, particularly young children and older people.
We recommend the Cambrian in Solva 4 miles away for food and real ale. Not particularly cheap but of a good standard. The Ship is better for a cheaper but good food. The duke next to the site is friendly, but not terrific value for money.
We'll definitely return as we had a really lovely time.

We've just come back from a fantastic 6 days at this campsite.
The location is beautiful, so close to the beach that you can listen to the waves crashing on the beach as you fall asleep at night. The menu at the pub next door is the basic pub food, but the customer service is good and they welcome children and dogs. The surf shop next to that, sells some provisions and a 'ice pack' service for 15p, as well hire of all you need to play in the sea. There is also a cafe at each end of the beach, which is watched by the RNLI lifeguards during the summer.
One of the downsides to being so close to the road is that there are some idiots who beep their horn as they speed past the site late at night, but not sure what anyone can do about that! My 2 year old loved watching all the tractors drive along the road, and going to the beach with a toddler is so much easier when your tent is less than 100yards from the beach.
The toilet, shower, rubbish, recycling and washing up facilities are all of a good standard and cleaned regularly. The showers are token operated but 50p for 4mins of guaranteed temperature controllable hot water, is better than constantly feeding a meter with 20p's or a free shower that is more likely to be only luke warm. I have never been to another camp site where the facilities are so well managed.
The site had plenty of space for the first week of the school holidays and has a really good atmosphere. I highly recommend a visit.

First went to this site with mam and dad about 50 years ago( I'm 63 now) have been back numerous times with the kids when they were young and last went back about 6 years ago on our own. Our daughter is there now with her husband and 2 kids, she still thinks its great.
We've been there when it has seemed to rain relentlessly every day for nearly 2 weeks and I've not seen it flooded.
As we've recently bought a caravan I can't see us going back (mores the pity) unless they allow caravans on there (then there won't be room for tents)
Overall I still love this site and have had many happy times there, though I think sometimes you have to watch the sea conditions.

Our second visit and our water sports mad family will demand another return next year. This is mainly due to the wonderful location (beside the big surfer style beach) rather than the site's own virtues.
The beach is more exposed and perhaps not as family friendly as many others around the Pembroke coast so this site does not get as overcrowded as its position would suggest.
There's little to do on wet days even if you trek into St Davids - very picturesque but not ideal for kids.
Toilet and shower facilities are adequate and it was a huge and unexpected boon to have free access to a power point for recharging mobile phones.
Very strong wind can spring up with little warning so do pitch with care - we had to chase a neighbouring tent to stop it disappearing inland!
