Quiet, out of way

This site is quiet and probably a little remotely located for motorhomes. Nearest shop is 40 minutes walk. Everything clean and tidy as per CAMC standards, Amenity capacity for Covid restrictions appeared to be a little overzealous in that only two allowed in at one time given that only two showers or two toilets were available - if both showers in use then toilets were effectively out of use. Quite narrow roads around site and probably not for nervous cyclists.

Excellent site, highly recommended

Stayed here in our VW camper for 4 nights, early June 2021. Very friendly, efficient meet-and-greet on arrival. Spotlessly clean showers/loos/washing up area, with clear and concise COVID arrangements. Very quiet, rural site in lovely countryside with well-tended pitches. 3 on-site "service stations" for fresh water, recycling, grey waste- and poo tank disposal. One MSP for water fill-up. Grass areas all neatly mown and some nice flower/shrubs planted. Small but useful info. hut with details of local activities and amenities. About 45 minutes drive to Aberystwyth, 15 minutes to Aberaeron. Petrol/diesel fuel in Llanarth. Good SPAR/NISA shops on road to Aberystwyth, 10 minutes or so from site. Excellent value and very highly recommended. Thanks very much to the wardens who do a great job.

Spring bank holiday 21

Very clean site nice wardens both temporary and main wardens, we had to use a hard standing as the grass was not in use the only thing I would say is some of the hard standings are quite narrow, and will not accommodate a car caravan and awning in the normal way, I would suggest the smaller pitches should be designated as a none awning pitch, this shouldn't be a problem has lots of motorhomes and campervans use the site, and they could still use awnings on these pitches.

1 night stay travelling North to South....

Arrived after 5 to be met by the warden who welcomed me & explained paperwork was in the information hut in an envelope with my name on it.... fine by me. As I was only staying the one night, payment could be made in the morning before departure, trustworthy I thought ;-) Pitches 1 - 11 back onto the road from which you enter, a quiet 'B' road or so I thought..... It was much noisier than I expected, especially with lorries, perhaps made worse by the damp road conditions! However, it is a nicely laid out site within distance of New Quay, Aberaeron & Aberystwyth.

Very quiet site but within close proximity of several coastal villages

Unlike arriving at other club sites we were approached outside reception and told to collect site info from a hut next to reception. I know we are all keeping safe but thought this was a bit extreme, verging on being a little bit rude? Very quiet site, not within walking distance of anywhere, but we drove to nearby New Quay which is lovely and Aberaeron. Was really just a stop gap for us on our trip from North to South Wales.

Great site

This is a lovely site; great location for exploring the west coast of Wales, with lots of places to visit and beaches to explore. The site staff were fantastic, really helpful and always out and about. Lovely rural views, with red kites circling over head and a sea view.

Nice Quiet Site

Small site, very quiet location, but easy access to New Quay, Llangrannog, Aberaeron, etc. Lots of nice coast path walks. Saw lots of dolphins from Newquay Harbour and peninsula just north of Llangrannog. Must get fish and chips from Lime Crab on New Quay harbour. Easy access to site. Not really family friendly due to no playground or field, but not issue for us. Toilet block closed so can't comment on that. Would happily return.

Rude staff

Very rude staff on arrival, We were told to take the envelope in the hut next door with our name on then pay and then go find a pitch, When I asked about dogs walks off site I was told to look on website, when I explained I had already done this and that the website told me to get the info from the campsite the answer I got was that was before covid 19. She was very rude and we were amazed at how she had spoken to us. We got into our motorhome to look for a pitch and stop to fill up with water only to be shouted at by the husband telling us we can not fill up there and to look at our maps to see where the motorhome service point is. by this time we were ready to drive straight out. We have stayed at a lot of site and have been a member for over 5 years, and I must say this is the first time we have had to deal with very rude staff. The walks from this site are not suitable if you have more than one dog, we have three and the roads are narrow and cars do come around some of the corners very quickly. The site should not say this is suitable for dogs. We will not be returning

An excellent place to stay in the peace and quiet of the countryside location.

There has been some negative reviews of this site over the past couple of months. Some people saying that they turned up and did not know the toilet facilities were closed. We booked this site many weeks ago and were told in writing and on the website that the facilities were closed due to a technical issue. Perhaps the club could have communicated this in a better way but all I can say is that in all the communications we were told. Everything else about this site is perfect there are some very small motorhome pitches but that didn't bother us the wardens were superb and we saw two sets of wardens so I don't understand the comments above that the wardens were unfriendly they certainly were not with us. With regards to the toilet and shower facilities being closed I think the club could have communicated that there was no point fixing the technical issues as the cost would be a waste as the facilities are to have an extensive upgrade. All in all as the title suggests it is an excellent friendly place to stay close to all amenities very near to New Quay with all that has to offer. The town of Aberaeron is very close by with excellent food,including street food, pubs and other facilities.

Lovely stay

A lovely, quiet site in a great location. Near to lots of beaches, and towns and villages such as Aberaeron, Newquay, Aberystwyth and Cardigan. Plenty of walks locally and beaches close. We had a lovely time. An excellent non contact check in during these strange times too. No children's park, but plenty can be found locally.
