 We arrived just in time before the office closed at 5pm. We were able to choose from lots of pitches so thanks to this site I knew about Crow alley. We were at pitch 25 which was nice and quiet. A bit further to walk to the toilets and showers but we were ok with that. All the time we were there the site wasn't overly busy so there were no problems with showers and toilets, however on leaving Saturday morning there was a queue for the showers at about 9am for both the ladies and gents. In the ladies there is 6 showers but only 4 were working due to water pressure. You might want these working in busy periods.
We did the 11 mile cycle ride from the site which was pleasant and we also walked from the beach car park along the coastal walk. Be prepared to pay £4 for the car park which off peak I think is a bit expensive. We had a lovely 4 nights at this sight. No complaints at all, we will revisit again.

Situated at the foot of Carn Llidi in the midst of fields full of highland cattle, miniature ponies and sheep, the location is just perfect. By night the remote location means star-lit skies are simply dazzling due to the lack of light pollution.
We visit Lleithyr regularly and never tire of the site or its location. It's a site where the car becomes redundant: Down the lane a useful little shop provides newspapers and provisions. A short walk will take you to Whitesands beach where there's a cafe serving decent food and, best of all, a stall selling wonderful ice cream made from local farm milk
From the site a network of footpaths will lead you up onto the coastal path and some breathtaking views. Whatever the wind there are plenty of perfect sheltered picnic spots. Wildlife is plentiful and we have never failed to spot seals (this time including three gorgeous pups) and peregrine falcons. It's equally prolific on the site - expect close encounters with foxes and badgers.
St Justinians is an easy walk if you want to take a boat trip round Ramsey. Or, as a special treat, take the car to Porth Gain on a Monday or Tuesday for the best fish and chips you will ever taste. (The fish is caught in the morning, coated in beer batter and served with chunky chips and home-made tartare sauce. The grey Mullet we had was simply wonderful!)
The site is probably one of the most dog-friendly we have ever been on. Although about a quarter of the campers have dogs, the site and the lanes are perfectly poo-free (caravan club members seem to be responsible pet owners.)
If you can I'd avoid pitching along the central tree-lined strip ('Crow Alley') unless you are a deep sleeper. The far end of the site has fabulous views of Carn Llidi but is more prone to puddles and is a longer trip to the facilities.
The wardens are friendly and welcoming and work hard to ensure the facilities are always immaculate. Now all of the showers are back in service and even when full we have rarely had to queue. When we first visited Lleithyr there were problems with people from a neighbouring site using (and abusing) the facilities - hence the need for individual access keys. But it's a minor irritation.

Noted a recent review of the site had certain discrepancies. The toilet/shower block is closed daily for cleaning between 11am and 12-30pm.
On certain days when there is only 1 warden couple on duty, the reception/office is closed whilst the wardens are cleaning the toilet/shower block, then between 1pm and 2pm whilst they take their well earned lunch break.
They present the site in a very well kept manner, and we found them to be extremely pleasant and helpful. Keep up the good work, well appreciated by the majority.

Rooks make a lot of noise early AM. Keep to open pitches at bottom of site to avoid noise. Toilet facility adequate but are closed from 11:30 to 13:30 for cleaning, wardens office closed from what appears from 11:30 until 14:00. Only basic provisions provided at booking office, we used the shop at the adjacent site which has all available provisions.
Closest beach about 1/2 mile away, very steep incline to get to it, but car park at bottom costs £3.50 to park. Very nice beach blue flag award.
Electric hook-up, water fill point, waste disposal and elsan disposal points and rubbish 3 areas in all Bottle bank behind toilet block.
Toilet block facility also contain washing and ironing area and place to wash crockery.
Small play area for children climbing frame and swing.

Lovely site, fabulous views all around. Wardens were very friendly and helpful. Maybe the shower,s are a little dated, but they are clean. There's a nice little play area for the children. A 15 minute walk down to the beach, quite steep walk back up the hill. But worth the walk. The best sunset I have ever seen.
The shop on site has not much to offer, but the usual (bread, milk). The worse thing about this site,are the crows squawking all day. I love to here the birds, but these crows were annoying. One couple even moved their van from under the trees, after one night stay. These birds were so loud (That's nobody,s fault though). It's the most Beautiful area to tour. Looking forward to going back.

We stayed at this beautiful location for 7 nights. The site was full but everything was well maintained. We had a badger visit us in our awning every night. The beach, Whitesands Bay is lovely. The costal walk is breathtaking but unsuitable for infants. St David's cathedral is amazing. We had wall to wall sunshine for the whole stay which makes such a difference to any place. We would use this campsite again.

We have visited many Caravan Club sites in recent years, all of which have had immaculate facilities. This site is in a lovely though exposed setting, not far from a sandy beach (though a steep walk). We were disappointed at St David's to find that several showers were locked (owing to 'low water pressure'). In the ladies toilets 2 were locked as they had been 'deliberately blocked' and the hairdryer had been 'vandalised'. In the 5 days we were there these were not repaired. Part of the site was about to close for remedial work as it floods. The facility for motorhomes to discharge waste water was so awkwardly placed we had to turn round against the one way system to use it!
A warden told me that there are plans to upgrade the toilet block, it can't come too soon. Maybe they will also add some hardstandings as they are easier for motorhomes, especially in wet Wales!

For the first time we found a Caravan Club that was below what we've come to expect as 'Club Class'. Lleithyr Meadow is a site with problems, especially at peak times.
An all-grass (no hardstanding) site, it suffers in wet weather - and this part of Wales gets plenty of wet weather - even though the ground drains freely.
The facilities block is simply too small for the site when it is full, with just eight showers (four each for male and female) for 120 pitches (an average of 360 people).
As many people visit the beach whenever possible for surfing etc, the showers are even busier than on other sites and queues were the norm at peak times. Also, some toilet cubicals were closed due to blockage problems - and remained closed for weeks rather than being fixed.
Very low water pressure was another problem. At the service points (and there are only four for the entire site) it took 10 minutes to fill a 40 litre Aquaroll, which led to queues at the taps, too.
The site was jam full when we were there at the height of the summer season, and as such felt overcrowded and too busy. I expected a remote and quiet area, but with the surfing beach very close by there was a constant movement of people and cars coming and going, which made it far from restful.
We were told that the CC only owns a third of the site, with the rest leased from a local landowner and that the lease is up soon, so maybe something will be done to improve facilities and landscaping (the open nature of the site makes it windswept and a bit bleak, with little in the way of planting or flowers) once the long-term future of the site is settled.
Another problem was a large and very noisy campsite set up by a religious group in the next field, with drumming workshops, singing and the blowing of car horns a speciality. That field is regularly rented to other groups, apparently, some of whom have caused noise problems late into the night.

This is a nice site if a little exposed. While we were there we had quite a lot of rain and many of the pitches became rather water logged and there are no hard standings. The Caravan Club really need to do something about the drainage but the facilities are up to the usual Club standards. Within easy walking distance is a well stocked shop.
The area is great for walking the coastal paths and climbing Carn Llidi which overlooks the site. St Davids is about a 35 minute walk from the site or you can Celtic Coaster bus that runs from Whitesands Beach into the city.
The cathedral is worth a visit and the refectory food is excellent. We had nice meals in the Farmers Arms and the Old Cross Hotel but drinks are expensive.
There are wonderful boat trips to and around Ramsey Island and also to islands further afield (that should be asea!). I can certainly recommend the guided walk on Ramsey Island led by an RSPB warden which can be booked through Thousand Islands Expeditions' office. I can also recommend one of their jet boat trips.

This is a lovely site perched on the top of the cliffs between St Davids and Whitesands Bay. Facilities second to none - as you would expect from a CC Club site. There is no shop on site but there is a well stocked convenience store situated on the private site next door.
Scenery is breathtaking especially around the coastal path which is only a short walk away. Turn right out of the site, walk to the crossroads, a few hundred yards away, go straight on across the main road, down the lane and your there. Once on the coastal path turn right for Whitesands Bay with its wonderful beach and small cafe (5 - 10 mins) or turn left and enjoy the rugged coastline around to St Davids and beyond (this is quite a long walk and sometimes dangerous, it is not suitable for young children and pushchairs).
St Davids is a 45 ~ 60 min gentle walk down country lanes but is well worth it. The Cathedral is impressive and free to enter (although they do expect a small donation, but this is optional). St Davids has a variety of shops, banks cafe's and gift stores as well as a few good pubs (we liked the Farmers Arms which serves good food and is Dog friendly, but there is another good one further up the high street as if you are walking out towards Solva).
Places to visit:- to the South East - Solva, Newdale and the Havens (Broad, Little and Milford). To the north/ west - St Davids Head, Porth-gain and Fishguard to name just a few. The area is set in the Pembrokeshire National Park and is more for relaxing and taking in the wonderful scenery (which is much better done on foot). We liked it so much we have booked our main summer holiday in the same area a few miles North in Parrog, Newport, which I have been told is equally impressive.
