 Over 30 years I have stayed at many, many campsites across the UK and Europe. Of all of those, there is only one about which I can say that I would never stay there again; welcome to Kiln Park!
This site has a real problem with drainage, as indicated by many of the reviews on this site. If only I had found this website and read the reviews before booking! On arrival, I discovered that one of the two camping fields was under water; dotted with the torn remnants of abandoned tents, it looked rather like the the Somme in 1916. Consequently, tents were crammed onto the remaining field with many being only a metre away from their neighbours; there would have been more space but this field was already partly flooded. Over the next 10 days the flooding got worse until the surrounding drainage ditch burst it banks, flooding those parts of the field that were still above water.
The weather was bad but, having read the reviews on this site, it is apparent that the camping fields have a major and unresolved flooding problem that renders them unsuitable for use if there is more than the merest hint of rain. As this site is situated in south-west Wales, rain is inevitable!
As to the rest of the complex, this is a Haven Holidays holiday centre so, if you like your entertainment (but not the drinks!) cheap and cheerful, you may well enjoy the clubhouse.
The toilets and the showers were dirty, although there seemed to be a lot of cleaning staff around. Most of the showers were only open between 08:30 and 19:30, with the cleaning staff bestowing dirty looks on anyone who dared to come in for a shower after 19:15. After 19:30 only a couple of very run-down showers were open.
During my stay, the heater for the very small indoor pool was not working so it was colder than the rather pleasant outdoor pool; however, the latter closed at the slightest hint of rain with people being given no chance at all to dry and change before being hurried away.
Are there any positive points about this site? Well, the situation is lovely, being only a couple of minutes' walk from a beautiful sandy beach and about 15 minutes' walk from the enchanting town of Tenby, which can be reached via the beach. The National Park ranger, funded by Haven Holidays, was excellent, providing superb activities for both adults and children.
Overall, I would have to say that Kiln Park was a never to be repeated experience; if I ever do try to repeat it, someone please send for the men in the white coats!

We had a really nice time here, we had booked in for 2 weeks, but the weather was so nice we extended it. We like the way that there is small areas for caravans. Did get some loud music played, why dont people think on, the music was coming from cars with the doors open and mostly the people were'nt near by, beats me.
The showers and loos, kept clean and we found that when they shut them at 8pm, you can gain access on the front, so not closed at all. We loved the way we could access the beach easy from the site and Tenby only a short walk along the beach or the cycle path. For the price, dont think we could beat it.

On arrival we were shocked to see a totally flooded camping field with a few abandoned tents almost a foot under water. We chose our own pitch area and were lucky enough to move into another dry footprint but there was little drainage and much of our field (Poppy) was waterlogged. Because the large field was not useable, we were extremely cramped on Poppy field with less than 1.5m between tents, guy ropes overlapping etc. - way too close for comfort and privacy, let alone any fire regulations.
The showers were inconvenient, closing at 7.30pm. Didn't open til 08.30 - way too late. Having said that the ladies were generally clean and hot, though my husband says the mens were dirty and badly kept - torn shower curtains etc. The outdoor pool was great, so long as it didn't rain - whereupon staff closed it immediately refusing to allow anybody, including those with young children, to use the changing rooms before leaving. Thus, having to move cold half naked children around the campsite. There were no footpaths and parking on both sides of a narrow roadway, making walking to and from venues extremely hazardous with younger children. Playground was too waterlogged to use.
The activities with the ranger, Jo, were fantastic and our kids loved the badger and bat walk by torchlight and the twice weekly day activities including pond dipping. All in all I would not recommend this site if there is any chance of rain as flooding appears to be a recurrent problem - wish we'd read the reviews before spending almost £500 for our curtailed 2 weeks here.

Yes we only paid £60 for 3 nights!
Yes you def get what you pay for!
Super pitch site - drainage blocked and smelly.
Showers closed at 8pm and didn't open till 8.30 in morning - real pain, very restrictive - 2 shower cubicles left open - but they were in cubicles with the main doors hooked open - so they were freezing cold. Every shower in block had ripped or missing curtain, all 4 showers I visited were filthy - with hooks, fittings broken. Water always just luke warm and they were them showers that you need to keep pushing the button every 20secs or so. I saw 2 hair dryers - both had Out of Order on for entirety of the visit. There are many toilets in the block and they seemed on whole cleaner then the showers but every time I visited men were cleaning the ladies shower and toilet facilities which made me feel uncomfortable - I don't know why they didn't just cordon 1 of the 2 isles off and clean that isle then swap over - felt odd having a man mop next door toilet.
Facilities basic - but fair for the money, pool very small and cold - slide not in operation when we visited.

Visited in June, an out of season 65% off offer so only cost us £60 for 3 nights. Bargain!
We are new to caravanning, this was only our 2nd ever trip and everything went smoothly. We went for a super pitch and the water & electric post was right next to the van, waste just to the side so all was very easy to deal with.
The showers / toilet block was perfectly fine & clean, regularly had people cleaning down the floors. Site shop is well stocked. The entertainment is a couple of minutes walking distance from the touring / camping part.Although we did go the long way round through the static part the first couple of times, before we found the shorter way!
The entertainment complex itself is typical amusements etc with the usual hire of sporting equipment and kids clubs etc. Just what the kids love and what we go for to keep them amused. Food, seating, environment in the 'mash & barrel' is really good. Great variety and not overly priced.
The swimming pool is a little small compared to the size of the park but still great. It has a wide slide for the kids that goes by height so our 4 yr old daughter with armbands was still allowed to go on it which she loved.
Oakwood & Folly farm very close so 2 days out there although for 1 day we just made use of the park facilities and had a lovely time.
Overall a fantastic site, perfect for families our children - 8,7,4 and 1 loved it as much as we did! We will definitely be going back.

Large camping area (poppy field) with free selection of where to pitch, but please be aware of live electricity lines directly above which may kill children flying kites.
High winds and heavy rain dampened things a bit for us and the area has poor drainage so lots of puddles.
Very friendly people, good facilities, reasonable entertainment. Pool I was told was cold so didn't go.
This is one of the more pretty sites around and is quite large with lots of static caravans. It is 1.25 miles walk to Tenby a maze of a town with its fair share of picturesque beaches and cliff walks (go to the penally train station half a mile left of the site entrance and walk down track).
Overall I would like to recommend this site but the electric lines above the campers heads prevents this.

We enjoyed a cheap midweek break during term time. The camp site was very clean and all quiet by 10pm in the camping field. The non ehu field was large and level and we were told to pitch wherever we liked. The field had plenty of water taps and bins available. Showers and toilets very clean, though shower block closed at 7.30pm. Security patrolled hourly. The pools were both well heated and supervised. We didn't use the clubhouse.
There is a direct path to the beach, and walk along the beach into the town.
Somerfield in the town, with a bus stop right outside, that takes you back to the site entrance.

Very large park with several toilet blocks placed around the park.Very noisy and very busy. No children play areas and children running everywhere at all times of the night. Beach about 2 miles hard walk.Car needed at all times. The pitch spaces are medium size but a mixture of tents and caravans.

Best static site we have stayed at we've been to a few and their normally tacky with cleanliness but this site was not, caravan was very comfy only drawback was we were put behind the complex where they have the entertainment and it was very noisy till late as we had a 3yr old it wasn't the best place to put a family with young children but apart from that it was great .
Folly farm is a great day out. Great beaches which you could walk of the park straight onto sand but watch out for pick pockets a family that was sat a little away from us had a handbag taken and jewellery and a man came to talk to us then my other half said watch your bag I picked it up then the man walked away then the other family realised their's was taken by that time the man was running away in the distance

This was a great site in low season - it was April holidays but still quiet. Caravan was great; heated and cosy with good supply of duvets. Only gripe was last occupants had burnt the grill pan and chucked it over the fence (really classy); we asked twice for a replacement but it was still there when we left.
Funworks very good; kids loved the amusements but was quite costly. New bar/grill opened serving reasonably priced food; and was very clean. Pool fine; changing area left a bit to be desired and it was low season so not sure what it would be like in august.
Great shop, and not too expensive. Tenby lovely town; and beautiful walk along the beach to get there. Manorbier well worth visiting for castle and beach.
Overall very good value for money but don't know if I would visit in peak season. Beware of the launderette - was over £4 for wash and £5 for using drier- make sure you take lots of spare clothes!
