 We had tried to book this site on a number of occasions and finally got lucky! The site is open and spacious with a lot of grass, which we prefer, and great views. As it is a Caravan Club site it is well run and maintained. The warden sells a few basics, including ice cream! and there is an information kiosk with leaflets of local attractions and restaurants and pubs.
The access roads are narrow, but you can walk into St David's and to the beach. St David's is tiny but does have a good butcher and a supermarket- it isn't Tesco but sold everything you could want, including some local produce.
The site toilet block looks fairly new and was always clean. We had read reviews on the Caravan Club website about problems with water pressure, but these seem to have been addressed with the new toilet block as we did not have any problems.
We would definitely stay again - a perfect site for a family holiday.

Have just got home from spending a week on this site, after reading some reviews was a bit uncertain what to expect, but on arrival WOW, what a beautiful site, the views were lovely,
It was the start of the summer holiday so the site was full but couldn't believe how peaceful the site was.
The toilet block was new and it was spotless and did`nt have to queue once. The site is a 10 min walk to whitesands bay which was beautiful.
Also a 5 min drive into St.Davids which is so pretty. Couldn't find any faults with this site except 1, the lane to the site is very narrow and on leaving the site we met a local coming towards us, he refused to reverse back so we could pass and he continued to try and drive passed us so scratching our caravan and then getting stuck, we then had to unhitch our caravan to try and free his car, causing a very long traffic jam in the mean time, this caused us a long delay on getting on to the main roads.
Apart from that we had a fab holiday and will definitely be going back

As always the not so good bits. But first of all. Guess who didn't read the instructions on the caravan club site. Yep the Prince of Darkness Mr I don't need instructions yet again doesn't learn the hard way. Ignore at your peril. Good job he has a HGV 1 license and experience
So rant over so the not so good bits
I would strongly recommend that you follow the campsite guide on not arriving before 1200 as you will find units coming out and trust me the roads are not that good and its close quarters on this road down to White Sands.
The roads around the site are poor at best and the locals seem to blast along
The pitches get very wet and soggy and don't seem to drain very well although I will admit the weather was harsh with some of the rainfalls
Make sure you bring your storm pegs as its very windy here
Some may find the noise of the crows fine but for us not, far to noisy all day and night and had the POD up some nights with the noise
There is a play ground right in the middle which was a magnet for the kids which is fine but what part of no ball games allowed did they miss. Frustrating as the wardens didn't control or police this. Not wanting to be a kill joy but the thousands of pounds spend on caravans are not for the whacking of balls, frisbees and other missile related toys and just because insurance is available for caravans it is not an excuse for those parents who allow their kids to use your van as a potential target. The site needs to make use of the plenty of fields and make a purpose safe playground where the kids can play properly without risk of damaging units.
Good points then
Excellent take out curry house in St Davids. They don't deliver but its a 5 min drive away
Usual caravan club facilities and music whilst you shower allows for a good sing song whilst cleaning.
Shop stocks ice creams and a few bits and pieces to get you by
The wardens were pleasant enough on site and were often seen out working (not so early with the kabuta please :))
Overall summary and ultimate question
This site is very rural. The queue down to whitesands beach can be extreme on good days and its £4 to park all day if you can get a space
If you like rural and not having to travel far then this site is fine. For us it was too rural, some ideas on times
Site to Fishguard 35mins
Site to Cardigan 60mins
Site to Haverford West 30mins
St Davids is a lovely little place with everything you need including a small decently stock supermarket and the cathedral is worth a visit,
If you go for the carvary lunch at the harbour car park in Solva then make sure your there early as tables and waits could be long
Haverford West has it all with a big tescos and morrisons as well
For us we wouldn't be returning due to the location and the roads but for others it would be fine with the usual caravan club facilities
Regards

A very pleasant, quiet site. Yes there are a few rooks and seagulls, but they didn't give us any trouble.
We had pitch 117 which was tucked away in a corner by the road and next door to the commercial site over the hedge; water, elctric h/u and waste disposal were convenient.
Washing blocks were excellent, spotless, new (inside) and seemingly sufficient for a site with 120 pitches over a bank-holiday week-end.
There was some road noise occasionally and we had a big noisy family over the hedge but they didn't disturb much.
One criticism, if the Caravan Club ever reads these reviews: the parking area by the wardens office is not large enough. We arrived about 5.30pm to find a car and caravan checking-in in front of us. So, we had to pause in the gateway before moving to check in ourselves, meanwhile other solo car drivers were evidently displaying impatience behind us at having to wait a few minutes for us to get clear.

Having just returned from a stay on this site over the Jubilee weekend, I feel I must submit a review following on from my previous one submitted a few years ago which was none too complimentary about the Warden team in place at that time.
There is a new team of Wardens on site who are superb. Nice and friendly manner, whilst still doing their job properly.
Site as always was immaculate and the toilet block has just undergone a complete refurb.
I am hard of hearing, so the crows didn't bother me, but others in our group said they were very loud. Wild rabbits on site are very brave, but watch out for those borrows!

Stayed on pitch 5 op' crow alley - still noisy! Large site very flat and seemed well drained after all the rain we had!
Only met one of the lady wardens. One of the nicest I've ever met, superb attitude!
Toilets look old and drab from the outside but are warm and spotless inside, loads of hot water even over a busy period, two washing-up sinks plus veg prep area etc.
Spent the next day at Whitesands car park (£4/day) as we didn't want another night on site, no long bays and not very level, but attendant was happy when not too busy for you to take up 2 bays or more! Great area, we'll be back!

We visited 3rd week in August. As one reviewer has said, a dated site but clean. Found a nice pitch (to begin with) was fine for first few days but then we realised we 'knew' we were by the outfall for the septic tank, the sewage odour was so powerful I felt sick. Beware pitch 36 & 37 and all the pitches along, as effluent passes into the ditch they back onto.
We could have moved of course, and the warden invited us to, but we were established & having put up a difficult awning we stuck it out, but it spoiled out experience of the site.
Facilities are ok. The wash up is awkward, there are 3 sinks which are quite cramped. Ventilation in the ladies could be improved please, rather than passive (via a window) a couple of fans are needed in the toilet area. The ventilation grills in the showers could also do with a clean as dust fell on me when in the shower, other than that facilities were ok.
There is a small play area for kids with swings & a climbing frame plus grassed areas for ball games. Was reasonably quiet.
The area is just lovely, it is quite a hike to St Davids (mainly off road) if you have small kids. Whitesands beach is perfect, it has good facilities and a shop. If you take your bikes you won't have to pay the expensive parking fees but beware it's a steep climb back!

Chose this site based on the location, only 5 min drive from Whitesands Bay (or 20 min walk) in amongst farmland. Very clean and well looked after by the wardens.
Pitches are allocated on arrival, and you're given a numbered toilet block key with your pitch number. Our biggest gripe was that after spending the day in St David's we returned to find another van on our pitch! Complained to the wardens, and were told 'we should have left something there to mark it as occupied'. It did say this in the leaflet we were given on arrival, but must admit we'd missed it, and we'd not stayed at a CC site before. Would have appreciated it if they'd made a point of highlighting this to us, as they knew we'd not stayed there before.
We were given a new pitch for our 2nd night, and had no other issues.
A pity, as otherwise it's a very good, quiet site.

This is in a lovely spot, convenient for Saint Davids, Fishguard, and the beautiful bays on the coast. You can join the Pembrokeshire Coast Walk at Whitesands bay which is about a twenty minute walk.
The site is of the usual standard one would expect of Caravan Club sites although not as modern as some. The facilities were good on the whole and I never had to wait for a shower although the site was full but I thought another toilet block was needed for the size of the site. I do not know how the CC calculates the ratio of shower/WC to campers. Having to enter the whole toilet block with a key was a bit awkward especially as there is one key to a caravan.
The play area is fine but more for older children. It was littered occasionally.
We did not feel the wardens were all as pleasant and helpful as CC wardens usually are.
The crows/ rooks were noisy but that's what you get in the countryside, thank goodness. Do go there, as it is a lovely situation.
Minor points: no cloths to wipe sinks in dish area; the door to toilet block slammed almost every time someone went in and out and could be heard in the night especially;'guest' car park should be near wardens not toilet block.

Three nights here on tour of Pembrokeshire.
Spacious site all grass pitches. The one toilet block up to CC standards. Plenty of info in shed/hut. Basics in site shop. Shop 5 mins up the road on opposite camp site.
Friendly/helpful wardens. Pitched at far end away from the noisy crows!
Beautiful views all round, very peaceful.
30-40 mins walk into St Davids via quiet lanes. Some lovely pubs/shops eating places. Really liked the Farmers Arms, great food/beer and atmosphere. Cathedral impressive, in small surroundings!
Whitesands Bay 10 mins walk. Beautiful! even in the rain.
Coastal walk from site, Whitesands round to Porth Clais, fantastic views across to Ramsey Island. Celtic Coaster bus back to site road, £1 brilliant value and a lovey ride too!
Caught bus to Solva (lovely harbour/pubs) coastal walk back to St Davids, excellent day out.
Good walking from site, would stay again if in area.
