Reviewer: Pilottrist 3 reviews from this member

 Simple, Basic, Convenient & Cheap(ish)!

More importantly, friendly staff who are will ing to help (even bailing and trenching at 2AM during the worst rain ever experienced).

Yes the showers can be tepid (try using them 'out of hours' - when they're fine)!

Yes the washing facilities are basic (your camping remember!)

And yes the toilets can 'hum' a little - but if certain individuals haven't got the basics of the flush system, and how to tidy up after themselves then who can you blame.

We used this site as a trial for our new tent and the experience of camping and seeing how it is only 90 mins down the road from us (biased) then to discover Pembrokeshire it's fine.

I'm sure with a few quid spent on it, it could be very pleasing!

Reviewer: Ruralbob 1 review from this member

 Lovely welcome when we arrived and looks a spacious yet basic site ideal for families. The field we pitched on was great, flat and well looked after. The small cafe and bar are great. Sadly toilet cleanliness is very high on our agenda when camping and this did not meet our standards (though had worse), the basin in toilet is SCALDING water and very dangerous for kids, the showers are cold after heavy use but seems they are getting a new boiler system next year. The toilet itself could do with an extra check or two. Only four cubicles yet one had no toilet seat all the week we stayed, only making three available, for the sake of a tenner and ten minutes to fit it, why not sort it quickly???

In good distance to Tenby and the Marinibear (sp) is beautiful.

Overall yes we will revisit but not until the boiler is replaced!

 Stayed for three weeks in August on an electric tent pitch. The Good Points.

Owner seems a nice bloke and his little lady assistant is very welcoming and always working. Both fields are flat and have nice aspects.

The owner seems to think the site runs on 6amp but we were getting 10 even though the site was busy. Sky sports available in the small bar but with only canned beer.

Manorbier a pleasant mile walk with a good food and real ale pub. Jameston also a mile away has two food pubs one very child friendly but road very busy and narrow and not worth risking it. Manorbier has a nice little beach popular with surfers.

The Bad Points.

The whole side with the bar, showers and toilets on needs demolishing and rebuilding. Toilet broken for three weeks while I was there, and not very clean at all. Showers extremely narrow hence difficult. Go early because the boiler isn't up to the job, facilities look like a large shed.

We would go again when facilities improve hope the owner can get the finance to improve things.

 We love this site!

This was the second time for us to visit here and what a change, the owners have worked so hard with the improvements they have made they have extended the site so it's almost twice as big and now have a lovely small club house and take away.

The site is well maintained and the owners very friendly and always happy to help, toilets and showers are always clean and always have toilet roll in them.

There is a train station just up the lane and a garden centre and holiday park across the road, you do need to travel by ether car or train if you want to go anywhere as there is not much around the area but this was fine with us.

Manobier beach is a 5 min drive away and it's lovely and they allow dogs all year round (unlike the beach at tendy and saundersfoot).

Will return again for another weekend next year.

Reviewer: Callycamper 6 reviews from this member

 When we visited for 3 nights (only stayed for 2) there were well over 100 caravans and tents in one field plus tents in another field. There were only 3 showers in ladies and gents and only one handbasin in toilet block.

Facilities were very basic and there was no bucket n mop to clean shower out after you so they became grubby through use. There were also ques and showers often cold.

The pitches, though reasonably sized were too close together

The grounds were well maintained. Overall this site is not one for us, better suited to families perhaps.

Reviewer: Geddie 2 reviews from this member

 Last came here in 2007 and a lot has changed since then. Still a great area and friendly staff.

The site now has a club house and games room as well as meals morning and evening, when the chip van is closed.

Toilets and showers were clean but I can imagine they would get very busy in the main holidays as only three showers in the each washroom.

My biggest concern was our electric hook-up which tripped out all the time. We even replaced our kettle, (£30), before finding the socket next to it worked fine.

 Smashing reception from the owner and staff. Facilities a little basic but lovely and clean. Showers really nice and hot, despite reading other reviews, and it was a busy time of year!

Grounds well kept with lovely flower displays. Brilliant breakfast at 'The Shack' on site, and a great facility for the evenings when we wanted a beer and meal/ and a bit of TV/ back ground music.

Great location for both the bus and train. Looking forward to my return visit in August. Many thanks again to the staff for making our stay such a pleasant one.

 We visited buttyland in aug, what a nice reception on arriving, very warm and friendly and could tell that we had chosen the right campsite to stay at. The toilet block and shower block was always spotless, the children enjoyed the games room and kept them quite for hours, people were friendly.

We particularly enjoyed the shack where we could sit and go for a drink or something to eat and even to play pool.We didn't need to go anywhere else at all, all staff were really helpful and friendly

shops nearby and a lovely beach, couldn't have asked for a better place to go to except for the weather, good old welsh weather, but will certainly return year after year.

Reviewer: Nollymoss 3 reviews from this member

 Spent a week here at easter, location was great, not too close to town, no bar or club here which was great!

The pitches were flat and there is a big playing field for the kids. Facilities were ok a little basic. Please be aware of the showers, they are lethal! They are push button showers, but they the scalding hot water comes out first, do not let your kids go in the showers without you or they may get burnt!

We loved the area, and would return to the area but not to this campsite unless we knew they had updated their facilities and replaced their shower system. Its a shame because it could be a fantastic place.

Reviewer: Wilsoncampers! 2 reviews from this member

 Just got back from a week at site. Beautiful location, owners very friendly and helpful. First part of week was very peaceful then bank holiday arrived! there was a group that were really noisy across the field, music blaring from mid afternoon. Asked the owners to talk to them, which they did several times. We complained again, and in the end, the owners gave the group an asbo, asked them for deposit against bad behaviour! they soon settled down!

In a week I had two hot showers, one in a solar shower outside our tent. The showers were cold 90% of the day. Too many people there was the problem apparently, but again Monday night when the campsite was a ghost town they were still cold!

We loved our pitches as we were on the field with the football pitch which meant there was a lot of open space around us. We were a group of families together and the owners were great in saving our area for the days before the other families were due. We had a lovely walk to the beach for a BBQ, handy shop up the road, 3 mins in the car, and the chips from the surf shack went down well!

Very good location too!

Reviewer: Tilly08 1 review from this member

 After reading your reviews decided to give the site a visit mainly due to the location.

Its a very friendly site (many thanks to Lynn especially who got our internet working and whom never seems to stop working).

The facilities are basic but more than often clean. There is only one sink in the toilets but about four in the showers. I actually prefer cleaning my teeth in the shower block and not next to the toilets :). The showers are cool at busy times (ladies only) but ask some regulars and you will find the best times to visit. Usually early morning, late night or after they've been shut for cleaning at 2ish.

Site relatively dry after rain (plenty of experience there) and level pitches. Dog friendly but no definite walk area. Plenty of space for ball games.

Main problem for us was things to do in bad weather. Most attractions needed dry weather. As we have a dog, the wildlife parks etc were out.

Saying that manorbier, freshwater east and some ofTenby beaches were excellent for dogs.

I wish the owners of this site well, some good memories :)

Reviewer: Kell 1 1 review from this member

 We visited the site at the start of August, it was the only site in the area that had space with an electric hook up, the owners were lovely really helpful and friendly. The weather was great. Every day at the beach.

It was very cheap compared to some sites we have stayed on and I think that it reflected on the site. It was a very nice site plenty of room for the kids to play football and make friends, but there are some down points to the site which I think people should maybe consider.

It would be nice if there was a children's playground.

The shower block was not the best and the toilets I know were cleaned everyday because we saw them doing it, as for the showers everytime I went they were cold.

I noticed that back last year someone left a review saying about the electric tripping if you have more than a fridge on and the reply to that from the site that it has been upgraded, but to be honest our electric was tripping all the time so I don't see how that as changed.

Over all the site was cheap and cheerful

Reviewer: Harding1000 6 reviews from this member

 I have mixed feeling about this site. The welcome at reception is really nice. The rules about keeping the noise down are explained - no music after 10pm, no noise after 12. I was given a pick of 3 electric hook up points. All seemed very cramped together. I have tunnel tent and was told I had to put the tent length ways, which meant the view from our tent was the side of a caravan.

It seems in all sites that have electric, pitches are closely spaced together. I may stop booking electric hooks ups from now on because I like to pick a remote, quiet part of the site.

There is a hut which is the shop/reception and bar. Everything seemed cheap and they sell basics such as bread milk and butter. They also do bar meals, breakfast and there is a chip shop on site.

The children's games room is a portable cabin with 5 things in.

The toilets were basic and had toilet paper on the floors and 1 sink for 5 toilets.

The showers are on the other side of the building. 3 ladies showers. The showers were freezing and were outdated. There is a sign on the showers that says at busy periods the hot water can run out. There are 2 power points so you can use hair straighteners and hair dryer.

There is no park.

Only 2 sinks to wash dishes but they do have a freezing and fridge you can put things in.

Although the train station is only 10mins walk, this is down a single track lane and is probably too unsafe to walk too.

Unfortunately we had to leave early as a large group were so noisy and they were next to our tent. They were in a 4 tent group with about 20 people in total. They had music on all day really loud and this continued until 12.30. In addition to that the noise from 20 people was unbearable. They woke up at 6am, and the music started again at 7. I asked them to turn is down at 8am, but the music was back on again at 8.45.

The staff were nice enough when I complained about the noise, but said when there are so many people there will be noise. Maybe they could have explained about the large group before I selected my pitch.

Postive points are

Flat pitches

4 miles from Tenby

Friendly staff

Cheap bar and shop

Negatives points

No Park
Cold Showers

Showers and toilets need upgrading

Only 2 washing up sinks

I don't mind basic camp sites as long as you have hot showers and they are clean.There are not enough facilities for the camp site. And cold showers are not acceptable.

 I first visited this site as a child over 20 years ago and little has changed in that time. Good location near to Manorbier with railway line at end of site allowing travel into Tenby, but trains were every 2 hours. Site had a section of hook ups which was quite crowded despite the rest of the field being big. Staff very friendly and helpful. Main complaint was the litter left on the site. For the 5 nights we were there litter was left around the water tap and despite two staff fixing a leak at the tap the litter remained. Toilets are dated and could be cleaner, whilst showers were okay. The ongoing complaint (see previous reviews) of no shelves in shower area has been addressed with a second hand bookshelf put in mens shower opposite side of the room from the sinks. On site cafe and chip van

Reviewer: Pocoyo 8 reviews from this member

 We visited Buttyland during the half term holidays the first week of June (in fact, we're still here, I'm typing this on my laptop on the site). The location is lovely, surrounded by beautiful countryside and a short drive from the beach. The train station is close by and links to Tenby, Swansea and Pembroke. Right across the road from the campsite is a garden centre where a decent all day breakfast is served.

We have bee really blessed with the weather this week; I can recommend the beach at Freshwater East just a few miles up the coast towards Pembroke.

The facilities at the campsite are fine. The toilets and showers are basic, but clean. The ladies' facilities seem to have had some upgrading work recently and there were signs of ongoing improvement around the site. My only criticism was the lack of hot water in the mornings and some evenings too. A family bathroom would be a useful addition.
