Outstanding!

We have just returned today after an absolutely brilliant 5 nights at Freshwater East. Staff were brilliant, we were first timers so had lots of questions and nothing was too much for them. They also lent us a lead as ours was too short for the hook up. I would 100% recommend this site. Immaculately clean, superb facilities, lovely site and welcoming staff. We will return!

Better when not busy

Good tidy site and facilities clean. There were not enough toilets at peak times so queuing was unfortunate or the alternative was to time your visit outside peak (if you can!). The site is sheltered, long and thin so it lacks the interesting features or points of interest you get at some sites but the basics were good. Staff coped well but due to the full/almost full site on every one of our 5 nights it sometimes felt a little like a well run relaxed army camp rather than a holiday venue. Probably best when not so busy.

Very disappointed with the facilities and unwelcoming

POSITIVE: Brilliant location for beach “Jacks” up the road serve good coffee food and drinks Beach was lovely Clean Great for walks NEGATIVE: 1:Very unwelcoming and the ladies on reception basically “grimaced” at me 2: The facilities were a joke with around 6 ladies toilets serving around 90 pitches YES 90 ! There were queues for the facilities every day. 3: no bins in the washing up area or indeed on the services areas. This meant, although I could fill up my water tank, I still had a steep uphill climb to empty my bins elsewhere. 4: Dog walk wasn’t a woodland one, basically it was a cut through to the other side of the campsite that took 10 minutes 5: DONT return to the site at 1pm ish. You’ll be blocked in by arrivals and can not get through the barrier until they are checked in. 6: no communal seating area or food vendor (fish & chips / pizza van) comes to the site. 7: The key has name of campsite and pitch on it . Could potentially be a security issue ? OVERALL: Just an amazing area but spoilt by unwelcoming receptionists and also a SEVERE lack of facilities and bins.

Mixed Feelings

Stayed here for five nights and I have mixed feelings. Location is good being just across the road from the beach, very clean as always, and site wardens friendly as normal. But I didn't like the layout. Most sites have some interest - little nooks and crannies - but this is basically four big avenues of pitches - feels like being in the suburbs! But this is personal taste. What is not good is the site wifi - woeful in fact- which is really bad as none of the major networks give you a useable phone signal - working wifi is a must. And secondly - not enough toilet facilities for gentlemen. The toilet block serving 86 pitches only has 3 (yes three) toilet cubicles. Every time I went there was a queue to get in, and people queuing when you come out. This is not acceptable for a premium site. Wouldn't stay again based on toilet facilities and poor wifi.

Lovely site with good amenities and facilities. The staff were very friendly and wished everyone out of their vans good morning on there way to cleaning the amenities blocks. There is a small bay just outside the gates across the road which was great for exercising the dog. Just over the aforementioned Bridge is a Restaurant / Bar called Jaks where we had a very nice meal and it also has free WiFi if you need it. If you like walking this is a really good spot to start from for walks all along the Coastal Way. We only stayed one night so didn't really get to do a great deal. The site was easy to get to (if you follow the instructions provided), do not do what we did and visit Barrafundle Bay before arriving at the site. The sat nav took us the quickest route down a very narrow road with a bridge at the end which was only 7 feet 9 inches wide and we just got through with no damage.

Peaceful & Quiet Relaxing Site

Spent 5 nights here in early September. It is one of the most peaceful and quiet sites we have stayed at. Only the sound of the birds could be heard and the donkey occasionally which was very therapeutic. As you come in to the bay you lose the mobile signal, we are with Sky which runs on O2, but that was quite pleasing in many ways. There are TV points on the serviced pitch bollards, not sure about the others, if you cannot live without a TV fix. It is very handy and a short drive to Pembroke and Castle, Pembroke Dock and Carew Castle. You are about an hour from St David's and we would certainly recommend visiting St David's Cathedral, it is a very impressive and pretty cathedral and well worth the visit. If you have mobility issues, as my wife currently does, email Judith at the Cathedra, and you should get a parking space at the side of the cathedral building. We only visited the Freshwater Inn and Jack's for a drink, we did not eat but from what we observed the food looked good with a reasonable range of options and seemed popular. Be aware Jack's limits tables as a couple were told when I was at the bar they were not accepting any more tables that afternoon and it did not seem overly busy at the time (4:00 pm). All in all a lovely site, well located to visit Pembrokeshire attractions and the staff were very friendly and helpful and informative too. Also, the beach is only a 5/10 minute walk from the site and is dog friendly too.

Golden silence! Oh yes and Sand.

We booked Freshwater East on the recomendation of fellow CAMC members. Descending Trewent Hill and then cautiously entering the site we were delighted to discover this 'gem'. The welcome from the wardens was super, the advice well heeded and the pitch absolutely super, it couldnot be better. The closeness to the beach and other faciltiies made for a fabulous stay, our ten days passed all too quickly. Interested to learn that we were amongst the minority who did not miss the lack of wifi, we came away to escape the contact pressure of being at the beck and call of the 'rat race'. No phone signal, no wifi was golden silence and just what we needed in order for me to switch off completely. The layout of the site was brilliant. We enoyed seeing the families and we loved the beach, but we also enjoyed the quietness of our 'little haven' (pitch 118) during the evenings. Fabulous sunsets, walks and evenings on the beach especially in the rain when the dog and I had the beach to ourselves. Storm Betty added to the fun! Through 'Betty' we were intorduced to two fabulous new friends at 2 a.m. in the morning as we wrestled their awning to safety. I could write much more, but only to endorse what has already been said. One fabulous site, a brilliant team of wardens, a place of welcome that will make us want to come back, again and again. Thank you.

Fabulous place

A great site to come to. A warm welcome to the site by the wardens. Place is well maintained and clean. Great playground for the kids. Very close to the beach, which you can walk to. Tenby is a short drive away. This site has 2 shower blocks which is great, when one is closed the other is still open for use. Which we find useful as most sites only have one. It also has a outdoor shower for wetsuit user, which is a great idea. Only problem is the Wi-Fi. No signal at all, unless you go down to the reception (where everyone goes).
