Our second visit to this site - location for access to St David’s is excellent. Views from the pitches are lovely and the site facilities are always warm and clean.
We walked a 3-4 mile circular walk from site along the coast path and back through St David’s - nice easy walk with the dogs finishing up in the beer garden at the Grove Hotel.
Given the location of the site, when the weather turns it is very exposed but this is to be expected.
This is a very pleasant site, with plenty of hook-up pitches available for tents, which is important for us.
The facilities are all good, and the toilets and washrooms were always clean when we used them, but, in the way of UK campsites, rather small. Luckily we did not have to queue for a shower while we were there, being early risers, but it was sometimes a close run thing, and during peak holiday season I imagine there could be problems.
Others have commented on the views, but this is mostly boring sea, although you can see a few islands which makes aleviates that dullness! The views inland would be more interesting, but you can't see that way because of the lie of the land and the hedges.
It's only about 20 minutes walk into St. David's, with its shops, pubs and restaurants, and of course the cathedral, a visit to which is a must.
Altogether we had a very pleasant time here, and if we wanted to visit the area again it would be our first choice.
Views are stunning from this site. We managed the walk into St David’s but it’s a little more than the 10 minutes stated on website especially with arthritic knees!
The toilet facilities were modern and very clean.
The campsite was not what I expected tbh from the write up, our pitch was hardstanding and badly overgrown as were quite a few of the others.
It just seems a bit lacking in care.
The road down to the campsite is very narrow and in a couple of places we struggled with the motorhome, thank heavens we met no one in these spots, there are passing places on the rest but it’s pretty tight.
To get to St David’s you have to walk up this road or apparently go on the coastal path, there is no access to coastal path from the site. The beach looked stunning but it was too steep for the knees to tackle which was a shame but loads of young families enjoying the sand and sea.
In all it was ok but not for us as too far to walk into St David’s easily for us and the site needs a good tidy up.
Stunning views from this site, but it's cliff top location comes at a price and that is the wind that comes off the sea.
Really windy whilst we were there so we took the awning down and on the second night turned our campervan around to protect the pop up roof! T
here are a couple of campsites on the same lane and slightly nearer StDavids, views wouldn't be so good but they may offer more protection from the weather.
The site itself is great with easy access to the coastal path and a pretty little beach. It's a walk back down the lane to StDavids which has a wide array off cafes and bars via mobile
This is a lovely site, perfectly positioned on the Pembrokeshire Coast path for nice walks in both directions, and only a short walk to St Davids's for its charming cathedral, excellent coffee shop (Pebbles), good deli, a couple of excellent clothes shops, and several pubs. The sea views from the pitches are fantastic.
Site staff are friendly and helpful, although we noticed that the office (early season) was sometimes closed and new arrivals were instructed by a notice to find their own pitches.
The warm (! good in cold weather) kitchen/family room/playroom/ dishwasher room/ laundry/ shower & loo area was great. Cleanliness was good. The grey water motorhome discharge point / fresh water point was very wide, level, and easy to drive on to (NB many other sites!). The site (so presumably the local council) has a good recycling scheme.
Next door is an organic farm, - a notice warns campers about its smell but we found it soothing and rural ! We didn't find the slightly narrow access road any problem - try some places in the Scottish Highlands and Islands for really hard to drive places !
We only mark it down to 9/10 instead of 10 for 2 reasons - a) wifi is available at a not insubstantial price but is rather unreliable and we had to leave our van and walk around the site several times to reconnect - not a good thing in poor weather ; & b) all the pitches are varyingly sloping, - we changed pitch to a slightly less sloping one, but still had to chock up our wheels to different levels and even then couldn't get really level.
Absolutely loved it and highly recommend it to you.
Beautiful cliff top location and only a short walk into the city of St Davids (where if you are a carnivore you must try a lamb Oggie). A very short stroll down to the beach which although small is a great wee place.
Site is very well equipped with camper’s kitchens and comfortable shower/toilet facilities. Extremely welcoming and helpful owners and staff and great value for money.
This was our first time at Caerfai Bay and what a lovely site ! We were pitched one of the motor home pitches in the 2nd field and the view over the bay was amazing. The site is exposed and high up so be prepared for the wind ! The last leg of the road up to the site is narrow but we managed ok with no issue.
The facilities on site were clean and warm and there was never any queuing. There are also family rooms available with shower sink and toilet. Facilities for tent campers looked excellent.
Access to a lovely sandy cove, which is dog friendly, is down some steep steps, alternatively the coastal path can be accessed from right outside the site. The site does have a very small dog walk but our dogs were more than happy with beach.
St David’s is easily each reached on foot from the site and has various cafes and pubs to eat and drink.
Spent 3 nights here earlier this month. We were late bookers so the pitch wasn't the greatest (on a slope as many are) but worth it for the location with views across the bay.
Facilities are very good with plenty of clean showers and toilets available, even with the site being full. We made a point of walking to the main block (same building as reception) for showers etc as these were invariably empty.
Access to the site is via a narrow road so be prepared to have to reverse if necessary and/or, as I had to, explain to an idiot who's just driven by a passing place that he might wish to engage reverse gear. It's only a couple of 100 yards where the road is really narrow but folks with larger vehicles/tailors should be aware.
From a location perspective, the site is excellent. It's right on the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path - on a couple of days we took local buses out and walked back along the path to the site from both directions.
All in all, a great site and we'll definitely be back.
One of the very best campsites we have used. Top facilities, including phone-charging lock ups and a warm, comfortable kitchen area. Great value for money too, with superb location giving expansive views over St. Brides Bay, easy walk into St. David's and close access to the coast path.
Have stayed here both with a campervan (incl. Hookup) and, last year, whilst on foot with a backpacker tent. Couldn't fault Caerfai Bay on either occasion.
Stopped here for 3 weeks. First week just my husband & I, second week with 2 grandsons and alone again for the third week
The approach road is single track with passing places. We have a motorhome and the pitch we had booked on was gravel. Needed to use our levellers as it was slightly uneven. Our pitch overlooked the sea and what a sight that was! Whether it was sunny or cloudy, the views are stunning
There is static caravans, an area for tents and an area for tents and motorhomes.
The toilet block had a separate female and male shower rooms. There was 3 toilets and 3 showers with a sink and a toilet which we used, these were very clean. There was also family rooms which we also used when our grandsons stayed. There is a wetsuit room, washing up area and then at the side where the reception is there is a play area for toddlers, an info area with lots of interesting leaflets, kettle, microwave and toaster, plenty of washing up sinks and 2 washers and 2 dryers that are commercial sized
The site just lacked a little outside play area for the children
There is coastal walks and a very steep hill to the little beach that is wonderful and clean.
Just outside the main gates, there is a little farm shop.
Either a little drive away or a walk away is St David's which is really nice with some lovely shops and cafes as well as the Cathedral
This is without doubt the best site we have ever used! Views from every pitch are truly breathtaking. Staff are first class; very helpful, professional and so friendly. Facilities are superb. Immaculately clean, well maintained and warm. There is a rest room and kitchen for all to use, which incorporates a laundry, plus toaster, microwave, induction cooking ring and a selection of plates, cups and pots. We arrived without a booking and were given a wonderful pitch, with uninterrupted views across the sea. Had intended to stay just one night but ended up staying three. Access to delightful cove is via a steep path but if you take it slowly it's no problem. The coastal path is about a minute from the site and my dogs and I enjoyed some very happy hours walking along the cliffs. My dogs were made very welcome and they enjoyed their time here too. Thank you Caerfai Bay Campsite, for a perfect stay. Don't change a thing - you're top of my list.
This is one of my favourites, if not my favourite campsite I have ever been to, and I try to make time to stay every year.
Excellent views and a great location in easy walking distance to the city, and excellent coastal access.
Staff are friendly, and the facilities are pretty good (the original block has more recently been refurbished however the block servicing the tent/caravan fields is also pretty good. There are also plenty of other services including warm washing-up areas, as well as a small kitchen/laundry section which is especially useful at cooler times of the year.
Well worth the price.
Be warned for anyone camping earlier or later in the year, the site is west-facing and has little shelter - wind speeds can be quite extreme sometimes.
We enjoyed our stay here very much. The caravan was immaculately clean and well equipped, with great views over St. Brides Bay. It's in a great location within easy reach of the city of St. Davids, close access to the coast path and a short walk to Caerfai Bay itself. Everyone at the site was helpful and friendly especially when a family crisis meant we had to leave early. The campers' facilities looked good too and the pitches for caravans, motorhomes and tents looked to be a decent size and well laid out. We'd definitely go back, whether as campers or to stay in a static van again. Top class.
What a lovely campsite. We were perched in a windy field just back from the coast path, full of rooks and wagtails. The view of the bay was amazing, ships and waves and rocks and islands by day, and by night lights, from ships and lighthouses and villages. The facilities are excellent: the showers and toilets are clean and well-appointed. As is the kitchen/washing up room, which has been thoughtfully supplied with tea and coffee and utensils, a hob and a microwave. I think there is also a fridge and a freezer. There are family showers and a room for washing and drying wetsuits. Lots of hook-ups and water points, and really important, the recycling area is clean and well used. The campsite is right next to access to Caerfai Bay and the coast path leading to Solva in one direction, and St Justinians in the other, and it's only a short walk up the lane to the very helpful visitor centre (they even had an exhibition of paintings by Graham Sutherland) and a further step to the tiny city of St Davids, with its little jewel of a plant nursery, and the cathedral and its surroundings - definitely worth a whole day's visiting. Would definitely recommend.
