Went to Kiln Park for 3 nights this Easter Hols. Booked a super grass with elec and water, for £28.50, which was a great price seeing it included the entertainment.
Good meet and greet by warden. We were given a pitch right by the toilet block which was a really bad mistake, a thoroughfare through from all people using loos and on their return from ents at night, extremely noisy from early hours (people wheeling their elsan units on the tarmac, very noisy and smelly) through to chuck out time at the club and people not caring that it was past 1am.
The site was exceptionally clean. No rubbish around, the toilets were mostly VERY clean, they had a team of 3 nice people on from early morning until 7pm (why close at that time I really don't know). Wash up area spotless. Showers sadly were only one temp which was very hot, not suitable for kids when the majority of guests are under 10. More of a direct jet than shower but that might have been the one which I used. Very welcome heaters in day showers, not in 24 hr ones.
Be prepared also for bins being emptied at 4am, for lazy people who can't be bothered to walk to the toilets and need to be driven at 6am (keeping the engine going/ revved up, cheers for that) and the seagulls/ crows who will happily go through your rubbish bags or nick food left out of the front whilst you cook, we lost a box of eggs and pasta even whilst we were sitting outside with our backs turned!
Play area good for little ones, the staff have also built a mini golf but no clues as to where to get putters, balls or cost so no one using it. Teenagers do hang around there at night. The indoor pool was small, we didn't use as it is overlooked by the bar, and I didn't fancy being on view like that. The Mash pub, food was fine but had to wait well over an hour for it (with a hungry 5 year old. Not good), the adult meals arrived and then kids meal didn't come until 10-15 after, whilst other tables were being served! of course ours were cold as we waited and fed all bread & chips to keep him going. The waitress who we complained to sorted this out promptly and was very good, but its not the point. First night there, very bad impression.
Entertainment, take or leave it really, be prepared for cheese however the kids do love it! We go to Butlins every year, purely for our son to enjoy, and Haven just don't have a patch on what B produce. Also the amount of CCTV cameras, they are everywhere! Felt like I was being snooped on rather than there for protection, there was even one in the ladies loo. I counted over 60 in the main venue.
The area is great for touring, lots of other camp sites to choose from next time! The beaches are beautiful, our personal favourites were Saundersfoot and Broad Haven.
We did enjoy our break, because we made the most of what we had, we will not be visiting again, mostly because of the size of the site (too big for us) and inconsiderate other users.
Just returned for a midweek stay. We booked a super grass pitch (which should have had drainage), but as it turns out none of them do. Also we made sure they knew it was a twin axle, and yes you guessed it when we got there and they didn't know it was a twin axle, so had to squeeze on the already small pitches.
Now this site is selling out a bit and is one of the most over crowded sites I have been too (see previous review about the toilet block and pitches right next to it, just wrong).
The entertainment is fine and is great for the kids, food is average at best, usual burger rubbish.
It just seems that Haven entry requirements too the touring area are people with no social awareness. You MUST expect noise (music shouting, swearing) late into the night, yes its a bit rough.
Booked for 5 nights stayed for 3. Agree with previous reviews not what I expected from a Haven Site.
Had booked a grass electric hook up pitch but on arrival at site we were unable to access this area as entrance and road throughout area was a mud bath.
We upgraded ourselves as no warden was available to a super grass pitch usually used by caravans.
After a night of rain this pitch along with several caravan awnings also ended up flooded with several inches of rain which then turned to mud. We were lucky that our tent has a sewn in ground sheet otherwise a lot of equipment could have been damaged not to mention the electric hook up danger.
We held out for 3 days but with the forecast of further rain decided to leave early rather than run the risk of further flooding and trying to pack away equipment is such bad conditions.
Toilets were cleaned every morning but still managed to remain dirty and smelly and for some reason only half were in use as the others were kept locked. In need of an update.
Children loved the entertainment in the club but unfortunately because the site was so muddy they could not play outside the tent even when it was dry weather. Another problem around the whole of the site is that there are no foot paths to walk on so you are forever dodging cars as they pass again not ideal with small children.
The swimming pool was ok but again changing rooms in need of an update only one shower and four changing cubicles in total and two of those were out of use as they had been used as a public toilet. Hence a long cold wait to get changed.
Shop had very limited supplies with half the shelves and the freezers empty suspect this is because its coming to the end of season although people still need to eat.
I have many years experience of camping in all seasons and weather and know October's not the best month but reading the previous reviews this site seems to flood throughout the year pity I did'nt read it first before I booked.
Tenby and the surrounding area are lovely and I will be going back for another visit just not to this site.
Spent 2 weeks at Kiln Park near Tenby, we had high expectations as it's a Haven holiday park. We paid over £600 for an EHU pitch for our Hartford XXL and 2 cars, to find that you were only allowed one car beside your pitch; and that the pitches were not pre-allocated. We eventually found a pitch that we could just about squeeze into (none of the pitches were defined and other users had spread out considerably).
The toilet block was generally clean - until the rain started and the camping site turned into marshland. It rained non-stop and within 24 hours the pitches were under several inches of foul smelling mud and water. The reinforced grass road between the pitches was now an off-road test track for 4x4s.
After a few days of standing water / mud, the seams on our tent finally had enough and started to leak, and our carpet (yes we're Glampers), became sodden, not ideal as the electric box was on it. The reception staff said that a lack of drainage was to blame for the standing water and there was nothing they could do about it.
We managed just over one week, before insisting on moving off the pitches, the duty manager found us an 'owners' static caravan for the remainder of our holiday and I must say, it was luxury getting up in a dry environment.
The leisure facilities on the park were good and the entertainment enjoyable, the local area had plenty to offer and the beaches were lovely. The children's play area was not suitable for babies, as all the equipment was for older children - not even a single baby swing. The shop was well stocked and surprisingly not too pricey. The lauderette on the other hand was ridiculously overpriced.
We have camped in the rain many times and love the sound it makes on the tent, but when the inside of your tent is soaked, it puts a dampener (no pun intended) on the experience. Overall, the water/mud filled field spoilt the holiday, we were on a Haven site after all and not at Glastonbury; so we won't be returning to this site again - not in a tent anyway.
On arrival we saw no sign for tourers, so we followed the signs for reception. Big mistake because there was nowhere to park 2 cars with caravans on the back, resulting in our party blocking the road,to the sound of car horns being bibbed irately,(well done haven). We never met a warden all week,and security was non existant. We were pitched on the super hard standing pitches, but other campers were quick to point out to us that this new section had been built on a flood plain, and all there awnings had been flooded out. We pitched up and found plastic mesh had been laid down before the grass (obviously a measure to save the grass) resulting in the land being very uneven the drains on our 2 pitches smelled disgusting all week despite attempts with disinfectant. We found the pitches to be very close together, which made the place look like a council estate,made with caravans.
The toilet shower block was run down and I could only describe it as resembling a dairy cattle shed in the mornings (some people seem to be such animals). Park shop was way over priced a packet of hob knobs was over £2 (2 for a £1 at our local asda). We eventually found that there had been a proper touring reception area which was not signed and was closed.
We have just returned from Kiln Park and well having read all the review I can agree with them the toilet and shower block for tent and tourers is awful!
On our arrival we were greeted by the touring area like a mud bath, I know we cant trust the British weather but it was bad ! but the Warden was extremely helpful in finding us a dry area and also a long enough cable for our hookup.
If your thinking of staying here I would recommend either the Supergrass or Hardstanding touring pitches
The location of site very good and within easy walking distance to the beach.
The entertainment area is located in easy reach of the touring area there is a newly built area within called 'Mash and Barrel' which is where you can eat or drink, prices were reasonable.
We would recommend a visit to Folly Farm which is an excellent day out !
New for this year is Water Walkerz great for the kids located in either the indoor/outdoor pools £5 for five minutes though, but hey kids enjoyed it.
So would I recommend it,. As long as you pitch on hardstanding then yes, but myself would recommend a smaller site which the staff would cater more for your needs.
Large flat site, located 15 min. Walk to South beach and 25 min. Walk to Tenby town centre, where there is a large selection of shops and pubs/eateries. There is a small outdoor pool as well as a small indoor pool located in the Entertainments Centre on site. Also available is an on-site shop for the basics as well as beach goods.
We paid just over £200.00 for six nights on the 'over-flow' field with no electric hook up. There are two toilet/shower blocks for over 300 tents and caravan pitches. One is a brick built unit which is relatively new, the other is a wooden building. The best shower I personally had throughout the hole stay could only be described as warm, although my wife did manage to get one hot shower. Soap dispensers provided in both blocks remained empty at all times as did the toilet roll dispensers, however when I raised the point with the receptionist a toilet roll was placed in each cubicle within hours. Hardly enough to cater for the numbers of people on this site and so this supply rapidly ran out and was not replenished with any regularity. There were a number if locks to the cubicles that did not work and on the whole these facilities were not as clean as they could be. Even taking into account the other facilities on site, for nearly £34.00 a night I expect clean, hot showers and toilet paper as a minimum.
Kiln Park has everything a Haven site should have, Entertainment was Fab, the Park as a whole was excellent. The staff Were More that helpful and always said Hello when passing,
The campsite was very good.
The Facilities were pricey (for the ones you had to pay for).
Food was good bit expensive but you take that into account when visiting a holiday park
My only disappointment was the Toilet and shower block, Yuk! they were the worse I have seen. If you went in first thing it was ok as they had just cleaned them. (Once in morning and once in evening)
Like I said Park was great if you like it full on.
I wont visit again as it was too busy for me But if you are looking for a park that has everything for all ages then this is for you.
Site warden was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about local area. Superpitch fine with plenty of room unfortunately the shower block had to serve all camping and tourer pitches.
The cleaning staff had a policy of closing half of the facilities and the other half were always dirty. The same applied to the showers, half closed from 6.30pm to 8ish am the next day.
We were worried about the reviews we had read about this site and we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The Warden was extremely helpful - one of the best we have ever come across. We went in the first two weeks of school holidays and did not feel that the site was overcrowded.
The Supergrass touring pitches were excellent, better than the hardstanding as more room and only 4 pitches in each 'avenue'. The free park and ride was fantastic, we didn't need to use our car hardly at all, this runs every 15mins until 6pm. Pitches have been revamped for this year and are great.
Location of site excellent - you can walk to the beach.
Club house and 'pub' were excellent, the food in the Mash and Barrell looked lovely, however we didn't sample the food. Average drink prices.
The website and a telephone conversation with the site advised that awning annexes are not allowed - THEY ARE! Take one if you need to.
The free firework display on a Sunday evening by the North beach/harbour during the summer months are a spectacle not to be missed.
Visit Oakwood Theme Park, but remember to collect a free child voucher from Haven reception- can save you some money! Take some spare clothes for the journey home - you may get wet! Worth £19.95 entrance fee for an adult.
Heatherton is also worth a visit - you can buy tokens to save you some money - the walk on water bubbles are good - cheaper than at Haven who charge £5, they charge £3.50 at Heatherton.
Only downside, is the toilet/shower blocks - whilst we were there they flood and are not cleaned properly. Also one day my husband went for a shower to be faced with faeces in the shower tray - not left by a child I hasten to add and someone emptied their chemical toilet in the waste(grey) water area, hence faced with someones number 1 & 2s, and toilet paper. I think you can say this is down to some campers not taking a pride in their environment, and poor cleaning staff.
Would return to Tenby without a doubt - it is unspoilt and doesn't look to take your money constantly! I will also return to Kiln Park, but would hope that something has been done about the cleaning staff and campers!
Stayed here for a week during Easter 2010, in our tent. The camping facilities are nicely situated away from more commercial areas of the site, and had obviously gone through some recent refurbishment.
The campsite staff were on sort of constant patrol/surveillance, which was a bit OTT we felt, we stopped to chat to a family walking a dog and later got confronted as we hadn't booked and paid for a dog! We don't have any pets and certainly hadn't sneaked one into the site! However I guess with a site of this size this could be considered to be a benefit?
The toilets, facilities and upkeep were very good - no complaints. The location for us was the winner! A short stroll with direct access to beautiful beach. A lovely stroll along the beach takes you into tenby, which is also beautiful. Also a flatter path behind beach into tenby.
Would recommend to families great for beach and tenby and plenty of facilities and activities for kids if weather not so great.
We arrived in the pouring rain and directions were not clear so we just headed for reception. Our welcome pack was waiting for us and we were instructed to drive through the park to end where the touring / tent field is.
The warden came straight out to greet us, and asked us if we had any pitch preferences. We wanted to be fairly close to the toilet/shower block and this he did even though the site was fairly busy. The warden was excellent throughout our stay and very friendly (even putting on a free barbecue one night!).
The toilet/shower block was clean and there were ample facilities. Although the infra-red heaters in each shower cubicle would only come on for a few seconds when you pushed the button and go off again not to come back on. Showers were nice and warm!
The two Spar shops on site were adequately stocked and prices were average. There is also a handy fuel station at the entrace which also has a Spar shop that is well stocked.
Pool was nice, we used it twice although would be very small for busy periods. Food in the Pub / Restaurant within the complex was nice, if a little pricey. We didn't use the entertainment as we didn't have time - although as mentioned the slot machines had a few bob out of us as they are conveniently positioned so that you have to walk through them to get to the rest of the facilities.
We visited the Dinosaur Park, and Manor House Zoo (as featured on TV) both within a 5 minute drive and good attractions for those with kids.
Summary: A lovely site that we would like to return to so that we can explore more of the area. However, we would not return in peak times (ie. school holidays) as it was busy when we went (mid week) and would be overcrowded. All other times this is a nice park and I can recommend it - other people on site were extremely friendly!
I stopped at Kiln Park over the weekend of 18th - 21st Sep 09.
We stopped on the buttercup field where we found pitches were 90% sand with multiple large ditches (Not good with two young kids trampling in and out of the tent) With windy conditions also, this turned into a problem as pegs kept coming out.
Other pitches on the field seemed to be logged with ditches and fine sand hence the reason why we stopped at our original pitch.
We were situated right next to the toilet/shower block which was very convenient to our needs although we found them very dirty. The block closed at 8pm and required a code to enter after that time. Shower block was muddy (wasn't raining once over the weekend) and often water was cold.
Dishwashing facilities contained big sinks for washing although no plugs there.
Entertainment rooms were good for the kids, although very pricey. I paid £5.40 for a pint of lager and a coke.
Campsite located near the beach, with a short stroll to nearby Tenby.
Me, my wife and 2 young daughters stayed at Kiln park for 4 nights and below are the highlights and low lights:
Toilets and showers
These facilities were really close to where we camped and there was plenty of clean showers and toilets. The showers were a little hot for the girls though - particularity our 1 year old daughter.
On-site activities
The on site entertainment team were great and our three year old had a great time with the activities in the day and character shows at night.
The indoor swimming pool was great though I can imagine it being cramped at busy times.
The indoor and outdoor play areas we're good for younger kids though I can imagine teenagers might get board.
Bar prices we're about average for this kind of site with Lager @ £2.75 and alcopops around £3
Pitches
The pitches were a bit muddy and quite close together. We had an electric pitch and the hook up looked fairly new and safe.
Location
The site is in a fantastic location with the gorgeous south beach only a 10 minute walk away and Tenby 20 - 30 minutes walk away. There are also a number of great attractions near by - The best for kids under 10 is Folly farm which I highly recommend.
Over all this is a great site with excellent facilities and I'd recommend it, especially to people with young kids.
