This was our first camping trip as a family and we were very excited about staying here due to the good reviews left on here. We booked 4 nights mid August 2012.
Needless to say were not disappointed!
When we arrived we checked in at reception and the warden immediately came out to show us to the field and pitch. The reception had told us that we were in the first field which was right next to the boat area. Straight away the warden noticed we had a 1 month old baby and proceeded to ask us how long we were staying. He explained that the initial pitch wouldn't be suitable for us and took us to the next field and gave us a large pitch near to the toilet blocks. We considered this to be extremely thoughtful, he then informed us of the park rules and advice on how to pitch our tent as this was our first time - he also lent a gas bottle wrench to use as we had forgotten ours. The grass pitch was not water-logged at all even though there had been steady rain for a couple of days previously.
The shop was well stocked although maybe a little pricey but this seemed quite in line with the local shops in Benllech. We declined to use this for provisions but our 6 yr old boy loved the sweet selection!
The bar was very expensive and we only used it on one occasion for drinks when some of our family came over for the 2nd day. The lady behind the bar was lovely and friendly although maybe a little stressed as she was the only one working, some other customers were getting quite annoyed at the 10 min wait to be served.
The play area was brilliant. Our 6 yr old instantly made friends and was close enough to our pitch for him to walk there with his new friends. The beach was fantastic too. As its a bay, not only is it sheltered but the sea is relatively calm and quite shallow with amazing rock pools and soft sand. We noticed that it is classed as a private beach for the campsite patrons but this didn't seem true. The car park was extremely busy on the hot days as was the beach. As this is a main selling point on their website and obviously the site fees reflect this, we felt a little cheated. If we were a little more frugal we would maybe next year book at a cheaper site in Benllech and just visit St David's for a day on the beach :o)
The toilet block was very clean and we had no complaints about this. Unfortunately we have to agree with a previous reviewer that 2 sinks are definitely not enough for the amount of tents and caravans there. Especially if you are waiting for inconsiderate people who have finished washing but proceeded to dry their pots over the sink when there is a massive queue!
We really enjoyed staying here but probably won't return. Some of the site rules seemed a little too strict for instance, no gazebos or kites and also we felt the site fees quite expensive.

First time we have been camping and choose St David's after reading the reviews on this site.
Found the site to be a described and couldn't fault it.
The beach was fantastic and the views were really beautiful, on site the facilities were perfectly adequate for our needs.
We found all the staff extremely helpful and friendly, the warden even offered to help us pitch our tent.
I would recommend you book for a meal before 2pm at the on site pub, but the little restaurant before the Ship Inn just down the road was fantastic.

Stayed a few times before, was very glad to see more camping pitches back this year! Over half the field seems to have been restored to tents. Which is great.
Needless to say we had a ball, the location is great, the beach and crabbing pools brill for the kids and we found the shower block to be clean.
The big improvement for me was restaurant. Had a great night there. Only downer was two sinks for washing the pots isn't enough guys!

Have been to this site a few times now and although we find the staff very unwelcoming (apart from the shop), we love the site and as we don't tend to need the staff it has never put us off. This time however we were really disappointed. The weather was horrendous (not the sites fault) and we really needed a gazebo to be able to cook under but the strict rules of the site are no gazebos which meant we couldn't cook so had to go out (not to the Tavern as we went there once and found it highly overpriced and not particularly nice). I think the site needs to be a bit more considerate to holiday makers and allow gazebos.
The toilet block was not particularly clean - obviously the weather didn't help (people walking in wet grass etc)' but round the taps of the sinks needed a good clean and at least 3 times there was no toilet paper in the loo - not good when you have a 3 year old doing a number 2!
As the weather was so bad I needed to do a wash. The fact that there is a launderette is great but after I had washed the clothes I put the clothes in the dryer and lo and behold it wasn't working. I thought it may not be plugged in so asked at reception but according to the receptionist they were waiting for parts. Surely an 'out of order' sign would have been helpful - everyone saw the weather during the jubilee weekend so how was I supposed to dry the clothes? If I would have known that before I put a wash in I wouldn't have bothered washing!
On the plus side the area is great, the play area kept the kids busy (even in the rain) and access to the beach is great. Unfortunately our experience with the site this time has left me disappointed and we shall look for sites who are a bit more relaxed and welcoming.

This is the fourth time we have visited St Davids, sadly maybe the last. Tent pitch with EHU. The positives are amazing: the beach is clean and safe and fantastic for children for body boarding, rockpooling, kites etc. Literally a stones throw away from site.
The toilet block is spacious, never waited, could do with a bench in every shower but some stools are available. Family bathroom gets very steamy but is a help with a small family.
Tide permitting its a lovely walk to the Ship Inn in the Bay.
As caravans now cover the old camping field , the tents are a few pitches next to where the boats are stored - parked with the boats came the tractors which took the boats to and from the sea each day and emitted tons of black smoke into the adjoining tents! Despite plenty of rules including quiet after 11- no one was there to police as the younger caravan occupiers stayed partying and shouting till the early hours.
If you don't mind the noise its a fantastic site for the beach and location within a quick drive to Caernarfon and Snowdon. Don't forget to visit Pete's Eats in LLanberis for the best cup of tea for miles and some good quality grub for walkers and anyone passing.

Not too much to add to the other reviews. We stayed for two nights and loved the site, we didn't find the rules too strict ( except maybe the no kites).
A firm favourite with our children was the beach and nature walk. The bar allows parents to sit with 'refreshments ' while watching the children play on either the beach or the play area. The staff were very friendly.
My only complaint was difficult access with a touring caravan due to a poorly sited stone roundabout by reception. However aside from this it's a great site and we will definitely return.
