Wide spacious site with plenty of room
This was a first class site which as someone has already said has a wildflower meadow in the centre with the vans around it. We found this a plus point not a negative. I think perhaps another tap for fresh water halfway down the field would be a welcome improvement but apart from that we can’t fault it. Access was fine and directions were clear. A great stay. Thanks
Spacious CL
This CL has lots of space between pitches and plenty of space in the centre of the field for kids to play. The grass is cut regularly but sadly not collected so when it’s wet it does end up in the caravan. Otherwise, absolutely no complaints. Good recycling, CDP good, TV reception OK and 3G on Three and O2 also available. The directions are OK but it is narrow in some parts although we didn’t have any problems…….maybe we were lucky. As previous reviews have said, the route from St David’s is much better so would recommend this approach. After about 4 miles from St D’s. the lane to the farm is well signed.
Very nice spacious CL
This CL is based in a spacious field and we could basically choose where to put our caravan. There are electric points along two sides so a big choice. It was very windy when we were there and moved from our first pitch at the top of the field to one further down the other side where there was a little more protection from the embankment. The owner was very welcoming and friendly - when we saw him but obviously being a farmer he's bound to have a busy life. If we needed anything we could usually find him around the farm buildings. Access was pretty good considering the narrowness of most of the roads in this area. Good for cycling although quite hilly!!

Extremely spacious CL, ideal for the Coastal Path
Many of the roads in this part of Wales are very narrow and the instructions provided by the owners are the best way to access the site. Don't approach it from the other direction as you won't get in.
The site is 2.5 acres with the pitches spaced along two sides in an L shape with masses of space between each. The grass in this area is cut regularly and it's reasonably level. It's a basic CL with just electric hook-up provided. Good views to the west.
It is very peaceful unless the wind is due west when you can hear the children at the campsite across the fields in the distance, but it's not really a problem - and probably only happens in August. The water pressure is very low so it takes a long time to fill up the water drum from the tap.
Our main criticism is that we didn't see the owners at all in the five days we were there. On the last day I went to the farmhouse to pay and was greeted by a girl/young woman, who I presume to be a daughter, who didn't ask for a name or any details other than how long we'd been there and she just took the money. No questions such as 'had we enjoyed our stay' etc.
Would we stay here again? Probably.
Ideal for the Pembrokeshire Coast
Firstly follow the directions from the book to find this site, although it can also be approached from the St Davids site, as long as you know the road and don't come off the A487 as the entrance is impossible. I prefer the St Davids road instead of the Haverford West - Croes-goch road but you need to look up the access before travelling.
Secondly this is a basic electrics only site, but the grass is well cut, and there is sufficient protection from being directly on the coast (and we needed it even in July). There is plenty of space, and lets face it, you're here for the coast. I could have scored any amount of stars for the attractions, but remember this is not Cornwall, you have to make the best from the natural resources and that is where it excels. The coastal walking is superb, and more adventurous activities can be found such as coastering and sea kayaking as well as standard west coast beach activities.
If you are in to art, the Galleries around the area are very good, we made purchases at the Oriel Albion Gallery in St Davids, but there is something to support most tastes if you explore.
Note, the whether in Pembrokeshire is always a challenge, but again there is some of the beauty as the changing light and conditions also make the area more attractive (or repulsive depending on your view).
The chip shop in Porthgain was given very good reviews from all that we spoke to, but there is a warning the for those expecting animal fat specialities will be grossly disappointed as I was and found them somewhat mediaocre.
The best recommendation is will I stay here again and here you get a resounding YES
