Good visit as usual but a few gripes this time

We have been visiting Pembrey for decades and love the site and the park. We’ve taken our children and now our grandchildren. They love it. The biking through the woods and on the beach is great and there are no crowds. There’s a good bike route along the coast to Burry Port which is well worth a visit. In the summer there are lots of children on site and they all make friends and have a great time. Several sites now have food outlets on various nights and the Pizza van on Friday and Saturday here was very good – we recommend. Unfortunately there are some gripes this time. Dogs! Maybe there are lots of new members who don’t know the rules or just don’t care but dogs are supposed to be under control and taken off site for walks and toilet, not led to the nearest bit of grass and allowed to mess. Clearing it up is not the point; children play here and it’s unacceptable. Refuse. As we’ve read in reviews, you now have to take all your rubbish to the front gate area of the site, where you can segregate it for recycling. The bins are large with heavy lids making it difficult for some people to lift a lid and put rubbish in at the same time. When I asked a warden what the rationale was for changing the system, I was told it was to do with there being a lot of rubbish – 150 bags was mentioned – hypodermic needles - the bags are heavy - “health and safety”, etc. It sounded to me as though the wardens just didn’t want to do it anymore. It was inconvenient as rather than take bits and pieces frequently to the local bins, you tend to let it mount up to make the journey worthwhile, so rubbish is hanging around for maybe several days. Some people even needed to take the car to dispose of it. Hardly progress and it just isn’t rational as now all the rubbish has to be hand-carried (by customers) to the front gate instead of being towed in bulk bins by small tractor. The smaller toilet block was still permanently closed so facilities are not “fully open”; don’t know why as the site was full. That said, we will of course visit again as the location is great but the Club needs to get these things sorted.

I have been a member for approximately 12 years and have always adhered to the speed limits, arrival times, one way systems, don’t make noise, position caravan with corner on peg and keep the dog on the lead and under control at all times, all with the intention of letting everyone (including myself ) have a relaxed and trouble free time. So to ensure that the peace and tranquility that this attitude achieves can you please clarify what action I am requested to take if cleaning up after my dog is not acceptable. Your point is valid if the point is about a members designated pitch (which in my case is not allowed to happen). If you are convinced that your reasoning is sound please forward your proposal to have dogs banned from sites and should you be successful then that would be another rule I would fell obligated to follow.

I never quite understand why someone reviews a site and makes reference to dogs or other site users - unless of course they are resident dogs and full time site users who will be there when I wish to visit!!! I read reviews to hear about facilities/ location etc  - not to hear about the behaviour of other site users when you were visiting !  We have all had to put up with inconsiderate neighbours - I just wouldn't think of factoring them in when writing a review of a particular site!!!
