Excellent site all round

Although we were already aware of the rooks, from previous helpful reviews, the warden did warn us on arrival, and so we camped away from the trees. We were not disturbed at all by their noise. It is also a campsite away form any main roads so is very quiet generally. Extremely clean facilities as usual. There is a small farm shop on nearby campsite, so easy to buy fresh veg etc. I believe that the beach is close, but we headed off into the hills from the site for a very pleasant walk. If you prefer the smaller, quieter campsites (yes, with some, limited, noise from the rooks) then I would recommend

Walking week

Excellent location for walking the coast path, I walked Newgale to Porthgain using the buses to ferry me to the start or back. I saw the reviews about rooks noise but forgot about it when I chose my pitch....right under the tree they sit in! However it was not so bad that I could be bothered to move, would have affected me more if I was eating outside though. Site very clean , tidy and friendly.

Croeso St Davids

Finding the site can be disconcerting - don't confuse with Lleithyr FARM camp site which is next door - but once there you'll find very helpful wardens and a very well laid out and operated site. We had a lower number pitch - on the western fringe and sheltered from some fairly stiff breezes - opposite (but upwind of) the rookery, so they weren't intrusive. Appreciate that pitches are grass - but site is level and wasn't a problem whilst we were there (Mid July2015) as regards excessively wet / difficult to navigate across. Wardens were out grass cutting and keeping place tidy every day - as well as looking after 'the facilities' (which are impressive!) Particularly impressed with the local information provided - as regards walks / cycle routes from the site; both as to range and depth of instructions provided. The cathedral in St. Davids is a MUST - and get one of the stewards to go through the history, which makes the place come alive. Likewise, the TIC in the city has an art collection of Graham Sutherland's which we found an unexpected bonus.

Windy and remote but scenic spot

Stayed here for 2 nights last week in our Motorhome . Lovely welcome once we found the site it's next door to the Farm camping site. Warden advised us where was a good spot to stay, avoid the rooks, for scenery but very very windy on the edge or a bit of calm near the hedge. We chose the scenic exposed area be warned whatever the weather it's windy and putting up an awning is very difficult. The site wasn't full and the shower block and toilets were immaculate, although one out of the two hair dryers wasn't working. The cycle to St David's was easy and took about 15/20 mins the beach was downhill and is a surfers delight. No charge for bikes. Not much to do in St David's but worth a visit.

Be prepared

Lovely site,quite noisy and overcrowded but in a great (but windy) spot. Great for getting out to places & the Celtic Coastal bus service is superb. The site is let down by their being too many people on as the shower block was always full (but it is a lovely shower block, warm & plenty of hot water), no hardstandings (and it was very wet during our stay so not pleasant traipsing back & forth to the shower block through wet, waterlogged, squelchy grass), and no wifi. Be prepared when visiting this site to be woken by the noisy rooks from the on site rookery who seemed to take great delight in running up and down the roof of our caravan at 5:30am every morning!

Not what we expected

Unfortunately we didn't have a good time here, the site was as clean as others and the wardens were very helpful. We were booked on for three nights we left after one night as we found the site too noisy for us and we had two children with us and still found it over whelming!! Location is lovely, we cycled into St David's which was lovely. We did find it a little bit restrictive as we have a motor-home which to be honest this is the only site we have found this.

St David's Gem

A gem of a site situated a few miles from the smallest city in the UK . A spacious site with great views of the surrounding hills and farmland from almost every pitch. Pembroke County Council have done an excellent job in arranging local bus services around this beautiful coastline. A Celtic Coaster bus stops right outside the site and for £1 takes you into St Davids The site is grass only and has an open aspect. Being so close to the sea it is usually windy so bring the awning straps.

Beautiful Site

Beautiful site, fantastic facilities, really clean and tidy everyday, loved the music in the bathrooms. This was our first Caravan Club stay and we really enjoyed it the wardens were lovely and friendly and even though we arrived at the wrong site at first they helped direct us. On arrival we had a choice of Pitch which was nice. Very peaceful surroundings despite the crows being very noisy at times but it didn't bother us once you get used to it. A short walk down to Whitesands Beach really made our holiday, it was a beautiful beach and the waves were massive. The bus that came to the site was amazing too, for only a £1 you could go to St Davids or Whitesands or a round trip, very good value for money. We only wish we could have stayed longer but we will definitely be returning for a longer holiday next time.

Something to crow about?

This site is in a great location for keen walkers, marine water sports enthusiasts and, of course, the wonderful Pembrokeshire coast. The facilities are good and maintained extremely well by the wardens, who are polite, welcoming and friendly. It is a shame about the noisy crows but you get used to it, I suppose. Improvements are needed to the extremely narrow access drive and there ought to be more available designated space to handle arrivals - three outfits tend to block the entrance completely. Compared to many sites, the lack of tree planting as a means of dividing up the field, tends to make the place seem rather soulless.

Never mind the Badger and Crows....

Just returned from 3 weeks in South Wales and this site was the best by far. Wardens are friendly and keep the place spotless. The views are great and the pitches are spacious. Most days were spent leaving the car on site and walking to the beach or on the coastal path or down into St David's. The crows (or maybe some Ravens) weren't a problem in fact they made quite a site coming back to roost during the evening. There were warning notices about a badger on site but I'm not aware of anyone having a problem however no warnings about the mice. Halfway through our stay I noticed holes in my awning apron then underneath the apron a mouse nest (if that's the correct term) made up of grass and awning skirt. Might just be worth checking your awnings every day - forget about the badger!!!
