The location is the the only good thing about this site

We were not impressed by this site at all. Like the previous reviewer's experience the site was overcrowded and it is clear this is a regular occurrence. When we arrived on Thursday there were already 6 units on the site and we set up on a well-worn pitch that had clearly been vacated that morning. I think there were five electric hook-up points each with two connections! The field is NOT 1 acre as stated in the listing, it is smaller so the caravans are nearly as close as they would be on a large campsite, which completely misses the point of a CL. One unit is clearly kept there and the owners of it come and go as they please, which I didn't think was allowed on a CL. The grass had not been cut for several weeks (it was eventually cut on the day we left), and all the facilities are very tired. Yes, there are toilets and a shower but they are old (although clean) and there is no handwash basin in the toilets, only in the shower which one has to go outside and in another door to access. The driveway is full of potholes and the hedges need cutting - maybe then one could see if there is a view, at the moment one can only see the hedges. The owner was very nice but clearly doesn't have time to run it properly: she told us she is a deputy head and has taken on a pub in a nearby village (presumably with her husband but we never saw him), as well as running the CL. Time, effort and a change of attitude is needed on this site to make it worthy of being a Caravan Club CL. The only good points are the location with access to the local area for walking, cycling and places of interest. Would we stay here again? No, definitely not.

Good Location

Booked this CL mid July but arrived at mid day Saturday to find 4 designated pitches taken and a reserved notice on the 5th. Helen said we could pitch up anywhere directing us to a quiet spot at the back of the filed. Quiet, but long wet grass, dodgy if the weather hadn't been good. Monday 6th caravan arrived and Tuesday 7th caravan arrived. Site felt overcrowded. Don't think this was an overlap/oversight. For 6 caravans maybe but not 7.

One of the best!

We just returned from 12 nights at this lovely campsite. It was our second visit and I was determined this time to remember to do a review. The site is very pretty and garden like with easy access off the Haverfordwest to Dale road. It has a nice little dog walk at the far end. Two toilets and good showering facilities are a bonus and it's all very peaceful and relaxing. Helen and the rest of the family are so friendly, welcoming and helpful and they make the site a pleasure to stay on. The site's position in the middle of the beautiful Dale Peninsular means that nowhere is far to go. We enjoyed Dale, Marloes, Little Haven, Broadhaven, Sandy Haven, St Ishmaels, St Brides and the occasional trip to Milford Haven where you can sit at the Rath and enjoy the views of the ships etc or stroll around the Marina. Milford Haven (about 5 miles) has a Tesco and many other shops as does Haverfordwest about 8 miles away. I cannot recommend this site highly enough - we love it so much we have already booked to go back in August! It's one of the very best!  And all for £12 per night! Brilliant! Smile

A great CL

This is a great CL - warm welcome, good facilities and spacious.  It is well situated for touring the whole of Pembrokeshire but the nearest place with facilities is Little Haven - this is a nice cove, good walks and has a great pub called Swan Inn which has by far the best eating out experience in Little Haven.  Will be back when again in Pembrokeshire to both the CL and pub

Great CL in lovely location.

We had a very friendly welcome when we arrived late, on a cold, wet evening. As there had been weeks of torrential rain, we had opted to use one of the hard standings and Helen suggested rather than manoeuvre in the dark we stayed on the concrete road running up the side of the field for the night. We stayed for four nights and as there were no other caravans on the site actually stayed on the road all the time which saved us walking on wet grass. The rate was remarkably reasonable given the facilities. The amenities were good, very clean and lots of hot water and even a fan heater in the shower room which we really appreciated. There are two WC's in the toilet block with toilet paper, paper hand towels and liquid soap - excellent. There were information leaflets in the toilet block and there was always some one to ask for more information, very helpful. The surrounding area is lovely even in wet November and we were delighted to see seals on one of the nearby beaches. Pembrokeshire is a lovely county and I will stay here again when we revisit.

Lovely CL

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this CL.  It was peaceful and quiet and the owner was very welcoming and amenable and was always on hand to help with local bus timetables and roads.  The facilities were completely adequate and very clean.  I loved the pretty flower boxes in front of the hook ups.  The whole site has rustic appeal.  Well situated for exploring the beautiful surrounding area.  Would definitely stay again if we are in that area of Pembrokeshire.

Pembrokeshire May 2014

Stayed here for a few days in May and found the site thoroughly satisfactory.   Directions to the site are good and the entrance clearly marked. Owners were pleasant, welcoming and very helpful. Helen was away when we arrived, but almost immediately on her return came to see if everything was ok.   In her absence we had been welcomed and well looked after by her parents in law. The site itself is very well kept and in an excellent location.   The toilets and shower were a little basic, but spotlessly clean and well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our few days and hope to return soon.   Excellent value and a first class CL, located a few minutes drive from the beaches and close to the coastal path.

An outstanding CL

We stayed at this CL for eight nights in June 2014 and could not have felt more at home. The site is excellent although they are still planning further improvements apparently, with excellent amenities and it is kept spotlessly clean and tidy. There are good places to eat near by (Little Haven was our favourite) and for wild life enthusiasts boat trips to Skomer sail from close by as well. The proximity to the Pembrokeshire Coastpath and the quality of the coastpath made our stay very enjoyable, only marred by the fact that we had to leave at the end of our booked stay as the site was full as it well deserves to be!

A Classic CL

We stayed on this classic CL for 12 days in July 2014. It’s easy to find on a quiet wide country road. Easy access onto the site and a cheerful welcome from the owner Helen John and her family. Several electric hook up points are scattered around the acre field which enable you to pitch where, and how, you like. Facilities include fresh water tap and drain, a fenced sewage disposal area (another toilet in concrete!) and cleaning tap, bucket and loo brush. In a separate building there are two toilets, a decent sized shower room and a useful information table. The shower and toilets are old but very clean and insect free. Nice points include flower tubs and picnic tables around the site. The grass is mown short and the clippings collected. At one end of the field there is a rough meadow with a footpath cut into the grasses leading to a hidden bench. Good for dogs I guess. Best of all is the silence. Helen has thoughtfully duplicated a sheaf of timetables for the ‘hail to stop’ bus that passes the site entrance. The site is very convenient for beaches, pubs and restaurants. The Swan in Little Haven, The Griffin in Dale and the wonderfully eccentric Druidstone Hotel all have excellent food. But the star attraction has to be the Pembrokeshire coastal path. Day after day of delightful and exhilarating walks are all around you. During our stay Helen came to our van see if everything was OK. Upper Bushford is owned by people who really care that their clients have an enjoyable holiday and try to provide everything that is reasonable at £12 per night in the high season. The only thing we could not understand was why we were the only people on the site for a week – by rights it should have been full. Highly recommended.
