We arrived to a friendly welcome at reception, and shown to our pitch, unfortunately we were put with the seasonals, and all of them must have stayed at home this week, so we had no neighbours to speak to.
The toilet block on the touring field left a lot to be desired, no showers as yet, and the whole block needed modernising although there was work in progress.Luckily we have our own shower, but the heater kept tripping till we found out the electric was only 6amp, so had to use gas.
The on site bar was friendly, and the shop sold most things, but everywhere looked like it needed some tlc. A shame really because its position is fantastic with a 10 min walk to the beach. If you have a dog walk through the Lydstep holiday village to the beach as they are only allowed on the far side.
Met with a fairly unfriendly reception and wrong information about bus times. A fairly large site with free choice of where to pitch. We were very unfortunate with the weather - heavy rain and wind for most of our 4 night stay which made the long trek to the toilet and shower block seem twice as far. New toilet block slightly nearer but seemed to have cigar smoking workmen taking up permanent residence in the ladies loo. Disappointed that new showers weren't being built, as only 3 for the whole site. Free choice of pitching meant we had to close our tent as it was full of BBQ smoke from the neighbours who pitched so close our guylines crossed - not very polite or safe! Games room and bar was OK but our children were disappointed that most of the amusements were out of order. Waited with anticipation for the karaoke to start at7pm(it had been raining for 2 days!) but got fed up of waiting when it hadn't started by 9pm. Shame about the nutter that drove past the site beeping as a wake up call at 7 am every morning. Good location - short walk to Lydstep beach (not suitable for pushchairs). Lovely walk to Tenby along the cliff top and beach - about an hour and a half-Tenby absolutely beautiful.
We stayed as a large family group in July, and the site was very flexible about where we pitched our tents. We used the field near the back of the site, which has brand new electrical hookups. The site was friendly and we felt welcome. The family dog was also welcome.
It's obvious that they're making improvements - they started to install the promised extra showers in the toilet blocks while we were there, and they were also improving the roads on site.
There is still some way to go though. For example, the washing up area has no cover from the elements, which would be nice considering it rains a lot in Wales! Also, there was nowhere to bath our children. (The showers were far too hot and powerful for them.) There was never a shortage of hot water in the showers, which are free, but it is frustrating that you have to press the button every 10 seconds.
The site does have a laundry room, but the washer in there is old and could do with being replaced. A fellow camper commented that it didn't rinse properly, and she ended up using the laundrette in Lydstep instead. The dryer on-site is quite effective though.
Lydstep beach is not that close, and we needed to go by car or bike as our young children weren't able to walk all the way there and back. It's also uphill all the way back, which is a fairly tough cycle/walk. The beach itself is good fun if you like rock pools and clambering around. It's also east facing, so escapes the worst of the prevailing winds.
Tenby is very close and worth a visit. It has a nice feel and is mainly free from tacky amusement arcades. There's also a fairly large Sainsbury's, so it's easy to get reasonably priced supplies. The local leisure centre also has a fairly basic pool. The main pool is pretty chilly, but the baby pool is quite nice. Good for a rainy day! There's also a very good indoor play centre for younger children, in the old town.
Manorbier beach is good, and west facing, so better for surfing, etc. The castle is also a great place to visit, although the stairs in the towers are very steep and narrow.
Caldey Island is also worth a visit, especially if you like chocolate - the monks on the island make that, and some fantastic fudge too. The boats across are open to the elements, so best to wait for a fine day, if possible.
The site is in fantastic location. The beach in Lydstep is lovely, great for rock pooling. Tenby is short drive away with lovely sandy beaches, great for kids. We had wet weather for a lot of our weeks stay but found lots to do in the area. Would definitely recommend Folly farm for young children, very good value for money and lots of indoor areas for bad weather.
The campsite facilities could do with a good face lift. There are still only 3 showers for ladies, although work in progress for 2 more. 4 washing up sinks, but not under cover and water only luke warm. Tent field exposed which wasn't good in wet/windy weather. Also although campsite had no noise after 1130pm rule, this was not adhered to during our stay
It had been raining before we arrived and the field we stayed in was like a mud pit. Even after a few days of sunshine the field had got nowhere near drying the drainage was that poor. The mosquitoes were going crazy it was that damp, not to mention 'a bit stale' after a couple of days sunshine. It got that bad they were asking us to park near the buildings and not on the fields for fear the cars would get stuck.
The family running the site were very friendly and helpful with recommendations on where to go and what to do, I will admit that. However the camp shop was poorly stocked, it opened at very irregular hours. 10am opening. One time they opened at 10am and had no milk or any of the obvious stuff.
The bar area was quite nice but they had taken a booking for a wedding on the Saturday night so anyone staying at the site could not get near the bar or tables! And the karaoke entertainment was completely overrun by the wedding party!
The simple footpath walk to the beach actually involves walking through a completely different campsite! Lydstep site has the path to the beach.
The shower block on our field had not been completed so the entire site shared one block of 3 showers per sex. So queuing at the 'normal' times usually involved a 20 minute wait. I understand that the new facilities should have been operating ready for summer 2009, but were not.
Location wise it is a good site. Only 10 minutes to Tenby, or Carmarthan in the other direction. A quaint pub called Swan Lake not far away and a good shop close by (thankfully).
It is a big site so larger tents are accommodated no problem on the unpowered fields. However the powered field, where we were, felt very compacted with little room between pitches.
We will be returning to Tenby as its a lovely place to camp. The south beach in Tenby is fantastic. Lovely sand and activities like boys vs girls tug of war. A long piece of rope with a couple of hundred people on it - great fun! Tenby itself has a fantastic old worldy town by the sea feel rather than just a commercial machine set up in the summer for our money. There are boat trips, including one to an island populated by monks who make chocolate! A winner for everyone there! Camarthan castle is a wonderful day out, plus an unusual glass shop selling jewellery and allsorts - really good for presents that are a little unique!
Stayed here for a week in May with a group and decided to return for a cheeky six night break.
The owners have improved the site loads since May, groundworks and additional showers, with further stuff planned. Weather was mixed and the bottom field was very boggy, we were in the top field and had no problems as the drainage there is fab. Tenby is a 10 min drive away absolutely beautiful beaches, harbour and a trip to Caldey island is a must, its lovely. Manorbier beach 5 mins drive in opposite direction has a lovely castle, church to visit and a tea shop that does the most amazing butties and brews.
Directly across the field opposite the site is Lydstep Beach, you have to follow the path down which can be quite tricky in places but worth it as it's fantastic for crabbing in the evening rock pools, if you can beat the seagulls to it. Site has small shop, arcade, small children's play area, and bar, toilets and showers are clean and free! Great site for base to discover surrounding areas.
Just returned from a 2 week stay at WhiteWell. The campsite was expensive for the facilities provided. The electrical hook-up was a measly 6amps and this was only discovered when your electric tripped and had to go to the hook up unit to resolve. The pitches were not level and very boggy.
The toilets were closed the majority of the time as are having a make-over - previous reviews state new showers being built - this is in fact the removal of 2 toilet cubicles and being replaced with showers. This should have been done either out of or at the start of the season nut during high season. The existing showers although hot and free need to be pushed every 10 seconds and have not seen any cleaning solution/bleach for a long time judging by the green algae build up. The photograph of the site does not match what we saw. Tried to take a shower one evening but the only light in the ladies was faulty and had to shower in the dark. We reported this some 20 minutes later to be told it had been fixed but not the case.
On arrival, two things struck us, firstly, there was no sea view as it appears on their website as the photo is taken from an angle looking down on the site. The second thing was that the hard standing pitches were not level, making it quite difficult to level the van.
Next we went on the usual treck to check out the loo's and showers. The toilet block on the touring field was dirty and was not cleaned the whole time we were there (1 week) and looked as though they hadn't been cleaned for some time previously. The urinals had scum all around the rims and the floor had brown patches beneath them. There were no showers in the touring block as they were putting two shower cubicals in. I had one shower in the static field block, and that was enough for me, from then on I showered in the caravan. The cubical I went in was full of pubic hair - again not cleaned properly. The showers were very powerful, and the push button type. In the womens block all the toilet seats were loose.
The chemical disposal point currently consists of an old gents toilet block with two 'bog standard' (excuse the pun!) toilets in them and a tap - if you have a heavy toilet to empty, you might find it difficult to lift over the pan.
There was a play park in the static field.
A shop, which to be honest didn't have much stock in it, a games room and club which we didn't visit. There was also a launderette.
There are also two deep outside sinks for washing-up in the touring field next to the toilet block.
No electric heaters are allowed as they trip the electric hook up's. The hook-ups are 6 amp.
However, we stayed the week before peak season, so the site was very quiet and the neighbours very friendly There are lots of nice beaches to visit in Tenby, Barafundle is also another nice beach (a short drive and about a half mile walk from the National Trust car park). Cauldey Island is also a must see especially on a nice sunny day (leave a whole day for this and stay on the beach after visiting the village) - boats every 20 minutes from Tenby Harbour.
We had a very nice meal at 'The Lydstep Tavern' just a short distance down the road in the village.
The owners have been at this site for about a year and they say they are improving the site. It really needs it as it could be a really nice site one day.
Our family of 6 have just returned from a week at Whitewell.
We was looking forward to it after reading the good reviews! I wont rely on reviews again. Whitewell is a massive camp site and the facilities are not up to standard. 1st of all, the cleaners used the same mop to clean out the ladies and gents without cleaning the mop in between! In the ladies main block there are only 3 toilets and 3 showers to service the whole camp site! Nowhere near enough. We all had to queue for a long time to use a shower. Further up into the other camp field there are no showers but 6 ladies toilets so it was a walk to use a shower.
The washing up facilities were just as bad, only 4 sinks and no hot water if you went later in the day.
Launderette. 1 machine, 1 dryer! a massive qeueu for that as well. One lady waited from 11am till 4. 30pm to get to wash her clothes. We were told by other women that most people go across the road to use Lydsteps Camp Site Launderette. People who have caravans on the camp site have mentioned to the owners about putting in extra and more up to date machines but the owners have threatened to put the park rates up if they install more! The washine machine was faulty and despite me reporting it, nothing was done. Not even a refund for the money that we lost twice!
Then there is the site shop! EMPTY SHOP SHOULD I SAY! Dont turn up to this site without your main provisions because you wont get anything from their shop.
The owners drove around well above the sites 10 mile per hour speed limit, at one stage a small child had a small stone flick up at her from the tyres.
Finally. Owners! Do you have to go around the site cutting grass during the afternoon with the grass collector up??? We had to go around our tent clearing off all the grass. Apart from us, you had a lot of unhappy campers during our stay.
We are not normally moaners. But I think in this instant, future campers need to know what to expect.
The actual owners are as miserable as anything, would be nice to be greeted with a good morning or a smile etc!
Apart from the above. The location was very nice. There is a short walk across the field in front of the site, that takes you down a steep hill to Lydstep beach (Not suitable for pushchairs). If you don't like pebbles and stones on your beach, don't waste your time trekking down to it.
Whilst the tent pitch field was very ‘rough & ready’, the shower/toilet facilities were clean, but you have to keep pushing a button every few seconds to continue the shower water flow – annoying!
The on site pub was very popular and friendly with karaoke evenings for entertainment. No ice pack freezing facility offered. The beach, which is a ten-minute walk away, over the main road, was nothing to rave about.
Located a short car’s drive from Tenby and Saundersfoot. St David’s bay is only an hour away and definitely worth a day trip. Visit the Mulberry restaurant in Saundersfoot for a wonderful meal in a quaint atmosphere.
Having tried a handful of sites this year already I can't say that I'm overly impressed with this site!
I would rate the campsite as being just ok, there are no new showers as of yet but they have put in new roads around the caravans. The pitches were pretty boggy, we laid a beach mat near the road leading up to our caravan to avoid the muck. The showers are very powerful although you do have to keep pressing the button in. There are chairs and hooks for clothes.
The washing up area could do with a good clean. Fellow campers didn't bother wiping up mess after themselves and there was moss around the tops of the sinks
We went into the clubhouse one night but didn't stick around for the entertainment as it was getting on for 10pm and no sign of Elvis yet lol.
Tenby itself is lovely has some gorgeous beaches and is definitely worth another visit although sorry to say I won't be staying at this site. It needs tidying up and they need to be a bit more careful who they let stay here!
Really enjoyed our stay again at Whitewell. We stayed in the dog field, but it is so big and sunny that you do not intrude in other peoples space or other dogs. The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path is just across the road and the walk into Tenby or Manorbier with the fantastic views of Caldy Island is great. There is a bus at the entrance of the site to go either into Tenby { 7 minutes] Pembroke and Haverfordwest.
There are very few sites in Tenby that are so close to the beach. The shop is small but does have essentials and they will order a newspaper for you. The club is great fun. There are only 3 showers for the ladies but the new owners say they are doubling this by next year. Looking forward to Easter here next year.
Went on the Aug Bank Holiday weekend, owner was very helpful as Tenby was soooo busy, this site had great drainage so was one of the few campsites still open! The new owners did not expect so many people and handled the rush very well. Improvements are currently underway on the shower block. Location is beautiful and prices were very reasonable, would use again ****
Well done to the owners for coping with the terrible weather, it was awful over the bank holiday! but apart from a bit of mud the campsite ran smoothly. We were lucky to get a pitch on the static site, this meant at least we could keep the kids from trampling mud into the van. The site is located perfectly for so many attractions in the area. A 5 minute walk with the kids and you are on Lydstep beach, lovely place. All facilities were acceptable but are to be revamped in the closed season.
We look forward to returning next year to see improvements including the woodland walk.
