Reviewer: Wenvoeman 4 reviews from this member

 We are back again at Morawelon because it is a great waterfront campsite. We have been camping here for years and love it. We particularly like the fact that it is well run and efficiently managed by the family that own it.

Each pitch is of a generous size and a good number have electricity, there are water points spaced out around the 3 fields. The ablutions are clean and tidy and there is always plenty of hot water. There is one outdoor (cold) shower which is useful for washing off sand from the beach and good hot showers for 50p, which last a long time. The washing up sinks are also provided with lashings of hot water.

Nicky who manages the site gives everyone a warm welcome and shows people to their pitch. She and her husband Richard keep the grass cut and generally look after the well being of the campers.

The adjacent tea room and restaurant serves great meals and snacks and ice creams too.

We have had two wonderful weeks and will be booking to come again next year.

 Epic location, the view is outstanding and perfect for watersports people.

Extra charge for showers, money ran out really quick and took £1. 50 for a shower, which I thought is quite a lot as the site is quite expensive for what is actually provided.

A long walk to a pub up a steep hill, although there is a cafe on site it wasn't open.

Reviewer: Mr and Mrs B 2 reviews from this member

 We chose this site because of it's location - which is perfect for the coast path and lovely beach - but what a disappointment when we arrived. We visited Reception (a till at the back of the cafe) and after paying for our pitch we were shown up to the top field.

On the way were were horrified to see weeds growing around all the paving slabs outside the facilities, dead flowers and weeds in the pots and overflowing refuse and recycling bins - a general air of neglect (which is not what we expected as we have paid £23. 80 per night).

The toilet blocks were grubby and didn't appear to be cleaned regularly - in fact Mr B wouldn't clean his teeth at the sinks because of the smell. Due to the amount of rain vehicles were finding it difficult to drive across the top field so it became very muddy (I mentioned this to the owner and was told there are several springs under the fields which is why it was so wet).

The pitches aren't marked and some of the units are squeezed in - at one point our neighbour was so close it felt like we were camping on a car park.

We had planned on having a meal in the restaurant but were told it closed at 4. 30pm - it should be advertised as a day-time cafe for the beach. One of the worst sites we've ever visited.

Reviewer: Lilsisang 6 reviews from this member

 More like a shanty town than a campsite. Although we booked well in advance they were uncertain where to put us. From what she was saying when looking through her pitch book, it seemed the 'best' pitches were being kept for friends who were due.

We were squashed in on the top very sloped field in a pitch that was only inches from the tent next to us. That's after we struggled to get our Motorhome up the wet and muddy patch to the field.

The owner was too busy with the cafe to bother to even tell us where the facilities where let alone show us. We found the toilets but wished we hadn't. Smelly and wet floors. 3 toilets and 2 showers for each sex to service 3 overcrowded fields ! Although there was a hook up post on our pitch it was being used.

When I pointed this out I was directed to a dodgy looking extension cable thrown in the bushes and told to use that. The fire sand buckets were full of water. It was a good job it was raining as all tents and units were that close together one fire would have taken the lot up.

Oh and advertising your on site cafe as a restaurant and bar is a bit disingenuous when it shuts a 4:30pm and there is no beer on draught. The whole place bore no resemblance to the website. We had booked 3 nights but left after one. Terrible site.

 The location is lovely with nice walks from campsite and fabulous views. The staff are also very helpful.

At £23 a night for our camper with no hook up on a sloped field it was by far the most expensive site we stayed on during our trip. For this I would have expected clean free facilities but the showers were 50p and although mine wasn't particularly clean my husband described worse conditions in the gents.

Nice but expensive. Found equally appealing campsites in surrounding area for less £

 Absolutely fantastic location. Very warm welcome by owners and a lovely campsite. BUT this is our second night here and the showers haven't been cleaned. There is no loo paper left in the ladies. My husband shared his shower with a frog this morning and it was still there this evening! He has moved it out! In spite of the above would return because the location is absolutely brilliant. Please just clean the showers!

Reviewer: Deadmanjones 7 reviews from this member

 An absolutely fantastic location for this small, well maintained site, with stunning sunsets and sea views. A ten minute walk into Newport finds at least 4 pubs and a few restaurants all of great quality. Showers were a perfectly reasonable 50p; ladies block larger and generally nicer than the gents if our chats round the campfire were accurate. They have a number of kayaks which for a charity donation you are welcome to make use of if you re experience and accept liability.

We will definitely return, though being a small site it reportedly gets very crowded during school break.

 This site is all about location. Overlooking the beach at Parrog, next to the Pembrokeshire coast path and within 10 mins walking distance of Newport. Warm welcome on arrival, pitches with hookup although levellers needed and lovely cafe on site. Did not use the facilities but aware that showers were an extra charge even though the cost per night was over £20. Would definitely recommend this site.

Reviewer: Willfred 6 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a weekend visit to this site. It's location is everything. Situated at the Parog it has every thing those who enjoy the simple pleasures in life could ask for. If you are looking for a commercialised site with on site entertainment then this is not the site for you. However, if peace and quite is your thing then this is for you. The staff are friendly and helpful. Next to a beach, part of Pembrokeshire coast path, short walk to the lovely village of Newport which pretty much as what you need. We have two dogs and the site and the beach are all dog friendly. The facilities are fairly basic but clean. The only negative was the water temperature took a long time to get hot particularly in the wash basins when needing to wash ones hands. The showers were an extra 50p and again would have expected warmer water temperature quicker. It was quite and the facilities may suffer at busier times of the year. However, you could not ask for a better prime area for a camping site.

Reviewer: Singingcavy 23 reviews from this member

 An idyllic location, feet from the sea and a wonderful beach. We spent several happy days here in lovely weather - very lucky. It was a great base for canoeing (try TYF at St. David's), cycling, swimming, theatre in Cardigan and walking. We even saw a dolphin from the rocks at New Quay a bit further north.

Pros:

Location, location, location

Three fields, two with hook-ups.

Water points in several places

Three loos and two showers in both gents' and ladies'

Washing up with hot water under cover

Chemical disposal points

Cafe on site for daytime food and drinks

Delightful town of Newport just 10 mins' walk away

Coast path on the doorstep

Friendly owners

Good recycling and bins

Cons:

None really, with the exception of the cleanliness. Whilst the loos were cleaned daily and kept very well stocked with paper, the urinals stank and the showers had hair and paper collected in the traps from what looked like a long time before. Washing up sinks and area were also very grimy.

To be aware of:

Phone signal really difficult to get.

Not many pitches were level so you might need chocks.

Expensive but cost reflected the location.
