On arrival the staff were friendly and we were given a leaflet with a map of the site (with our pitch circled) and the site rules.
However, being new to the site we did find it slightly difficult to find our pitch on the field, a helpful neighbour pointed out their pitch number, so we could work out ours. As it turns out, the pitch number is marked on a jockey wheel slab, but in our case it was hidden by grass.
Pitches.
We were in “Monkstone” field, which is for tourers and motor homes with electric hook up. The pitches are hard standing and slightly sloping. Both the unit and the awning is on the hard standing, so bring some heavy duty tent pegs with you to peg down the awning. (We bought some in a homeware / campingware shop in nearby Saundersfoot. Pitches are nicely spaced, separated with a grass area, which most people parked their car on.
Monkstone field has a very nice sea view, overlooking Amroth, Pendine Sands, The Gower (Rhossili) and Caldey Island. Our pitch was sheltered by a hedge behind the van, so any breeze off the sea went over the top of us without any problem.
Facilities.
Water Taps. - There are two taps on this small field (approx 12 pitches) so not too far a trek when refilling water tanks.
Chemical Disposal. – A chemical disposal facility is available at the rear of the Monkstone toilet/shower block.
Bins. – Bins are located in the centre of the field.
Toilets / Showers. – Mixed review on this section. Monkstone field toilets and showers are “basic”. The gents has 1 toilet, 2 urinals, 1 shower and 2 sinks, which was adequate when we stayed off peak. The shower is free to use, and is operated by a pull handle which releases the water. The temperature cannot be regulated and the water pressure is very high. We overheard one person comment on the lack of sink plugs, as he wanted a wet shave, but couldn’t fill the sink. Again the pressure is high, so likely to blast the toothpaste off your brush!
The ladies block has 2 toilets, 1 shower and 2 sinks, with pretty much the same setup.
Then, partway through the week, we discovered the “Tenby” field block, which I would rate very highly, but it is a fairly long walk from Monkstone field.
I have to say, I have never seen a toilet block anything like the ones on Tenby Field. They are what I would call “Mediterranean style” as they are built in a square construction, with an open air centre. There are two complexes, one for gents and one for ladies.
Toilet cubicles are on one side, undercover and within a screen wall, sinks are on the opposite side, undercover but also in open air, and the shower cubicles are on the other side, undercover, with the exterior door opening out into the open air centre. I really liked the styling of these facilities. It was not windy or cold, as the whole building is enclosed. There was also a washing up area in this complex.
Shop. – The site shop has the bare essentials, bread, milk, and some meats etc. There is also a Londis shop just up the road in the village of New Hedges, which is just a couple of minutes drive.
Laundry. – We didn’t use this facility as we are self sufficient, so not reviewed.
Location.
The location of this site is excellent.
Adjacent to the site is the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, (denoted by acorn signposts) – so you can walk the coast path into Saundersfoot or Tenby.
There is a lovely sandy beach behind the site, with crystal clear water, which is accessed via 197 steps (I counted them!) down the steep bank. It is quite hard going coming back up, but certainly well worth the effort. If nothing else, you will be fit by the end of your stay!
Saundersfoot is the nearest town about 2 miles away. We biked from the site through Saundersfoot and on to Wisemans Bridge and Amroth. The steep climb out of Saunderfoot on the way back to the site makes it almost not worth biking it unless you are super-fit as we found you are better off walking the coast path.
Tenby is about 3-4 miles away by car.
Overall.
A very nice, gently sloping site, only spoilt by a long(ish) walk to a modern shower and toilet block in Tenby field.
A lovely beach with difficult access for pushchairs etc, accessible directly from the site. If you have very young children, you will need to carry them and the pushchair or use another beach.
Easy access onto the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
I think we would come back especially for the sea view, the lovely beaches and the nearby towns of Tenby and Saundersfoot.
Improvements.
I can think of a few improvements which could be made to improve the site no-end.
1. The block and toilets themselves were OK, but modernise the shower in Monkstone block with a temperature controllable electric shower.
2. Supply plugs for the sinks
3. Reduce the water pressure
4. Supply a mop, so we can leave the shower in a clean state for the next person, particularly when the weather takes a turn for the worse.
We have just returned from our first camping trip as a couple. We have both been camping before, separately, but not for a long while.
We chose Trevayne Farm mostly because of the excellent reviews on this site and we were not disappointed.
We only have one very small complaint: While the beach is very close to the camp site, horizontally, it is quite a long way off, vertically! The path down to the beach is quite steep, and in wet weather is muddy and slippery. While younger, fitter people would have no trouble whatever in navigating it, for us it proved just a little too much of an obstacle.
Other than that, the camp site was excellent. Beautiful views across the bay, friendly staff, and good, clean facilities.
The showers were very good and just the right temperature. Having to hit a button every few seconds to keep the water flowing is no real hardship. I was pleasantly surprised to find an adequate supply of toilet paper!
The walled town of Tenby is just down the road and the multi-story car park there is the cheapest I have come across in decades! Again, the beach is a long way down, but there are steps, or the fairly steep harbour road, which can be climbed up and down by just about anyone, as long as they take their time about it.
We did find it amusing that the camp site rules state that they do not give refunds for inclement weather. If you are that concerned about the weather, stay in an hotel! We have several really wonderful hot sunny days, and several days where it threw it down and the wind threatened to tear the tent to pieces. GREAT FUN! In fact the weather was about half and half during the week.
All in all, we had a great time. If we run out of new places to go we would definitely consider going back!
First time at this site, easy to find & helpful reception staff, we were staying in the Tenby field, the field is very large & more than enough room for everyone.
Stunning sea views from our pitch. As has been said before showers are slightly open plan which is a little draughty but did not worry us as the weather was superb.
Plenty of showers & toilets & good facilities for washing up with plenty of hot water (too hot) sometimes.
Small niggle would be that there was no soap to wash hands in the toilet area & no paper towels. (this would not stop me going back to theis site).
Aprrox 30 min walk from the campsite along the coastal path to Saundersfoot, came back via the beach as the tide was out.
There is a path with steps that leads back straight on to the campsite, takes a little finding as no sign, we asked a local who pointed it out in the end.
All in all a fab site woudl definitely recommend! this one is in our top 5 & at only £11. 00 per night a bargain.
The staff were very welcoming upon our arrival and explained where to find the field and all the amenities.
The shower block and toilets were kept very clean and up to scratch. The showers were warm and there was a section in the cubical to keep clothes dry, we never queued for a shower or toilet once!
The sinks for washing up were not kept clean, this was due to other campers.
Near to the park was a londis, very well stocked and friendly staff. Tenby beach was beautiful and all the attractions around were brilliant.
On a down side to the camp, we found other campers very rude, however our time at Trevayne was spectacular and we will return!
This campsite is what I would describe as very basic. The showers are push button and open to the elements. Not enough places to hang towels/clothes in shower cubicles.
I would not use the baby changing facility as it too was open to the elements and therefore cold. The shower in the Monkstone field was very basic, no mop and bucket to clean floor after showering.
The shop was lovely with a nice range of local produce. Also good selection of leaflets. The walk down to the beach is not appropriate for anyone with a very young child.
The Croft field is exactly that-no views, just rows of caravans, most of which seem to be seasonal pitches.
The Monkstone field is however beautiful, complete with hardstandings and electric hookup. In my opinion the owners should add electric to the far side of this field and the camping field as it too is much more pleasant
The surrounding area is lovely. Tenby and Saundersfoot are delightful. We would visit this part of Wales again but unfortunately not this site.
Lovely site, well cared for. Not too many rules and regulations which was nice. It was located in a wonderful spot which was close to bus stops into tenby (or a walk into tenby if you don't mind the hill).
There is a nice walk to the beach just through a field on the site. This was a lovely quiet little beach (dogs allowed) and we all had a fab time.
The facilities are good and clean. We stayed here for 1 week with 2 children and a dog, The kids had a fab time here and the dog enjoyed it too as it was very dog friendly.
We would definitely return to this site if we are in the area again.
This site has lots of positive reviews and to be honest there isn't much more to say.
Great views, very good facilities and very friendly. I would visit this site again.
There is a bad bit. Or two. We stayed here when the weather wasn't great and the site is very open to the eliments because it's on the top of a hill, storm straps needed on the awning.
The pitches in the camping field are not marked and as it got busy it did become a bit of a free for all.
Good bits. In easy reach of Tenby, Folly Farm and it's only a few miles from the show grounds in Haverfordwest.
Although the beach isn't accessible by buggy/wheelchair from the camp it is only a short drive away.
Excellent disabled toilets and shower with plenty of hot water.
Beautiful views from pitch. We were on a hard standing with EHU. Pitches not too level! Small toilet block near hard standing pitches (ok) larger one in tent field, further back. Basics in farm shop.
Very friendly/helpful people at Trevayne Farm.
Walks along the coast in either direction with fantastic views, bit up and down in places!
Beach at Monkstone (down steep steps) is really gorgeous, you can walk round to Saundersfoot at low tide 30-40 min coast walk back.Carried on to Wisemans Bridge through the tunnels, with a great pub right by the beach!
Also walked into Tenby, lovely town.Beautiful buildings, amazing seaside/harbour. Would imagine it gets packed in season. Got the bus back!
Car is needed if you don't fancy the coastal walks. Enjoyed our stay.
Stayed for 12 nights and all in all a pleasant stay (due mainly to excellent weather) and a good size pitch. However, I would like to say that if first impressions count then they have some way to go yet in achieving a positive result.
We were in the Croft Field and our first hurdle was negotiating a huge crater right at the entrance surrounded by smaller potholes. Once past this we were then faced with unnecessarily severe 'sleeping policemen' and more potholes. This appeared to be such an issue that quite a few people were taking their cars across the field to avoid them! Another (and most important) safety issue was the access/exit to the shower/toilet block.
Large bushes hampered visibility for crossing the road plus for some reason this was the only part with a tarmac road and where vehicles could potentially speed up. There were no stop or beware signs or anything else to warn children from running straight across the road.
There were also no signs to indicate where to get rid of grey water waste! No-one came round the site to check if everything was ok and the couple of times we did go to Reception it was closed.
On a more positive note with just a little more thought and the odd tweak here and there this could be a wonderful site. Unfortunately for us our experience will not mean a return visit.
Monkstone is a beautiful camp site with amazing views. Below the site, down a steep path,is the most glorious beach. The difficult access means that the cove is always quiet. The sand is perfect and the sea is crystal clear.
The camp site is spacious and tent pitches are not marked out.The shower block is modern and clean and the site shop is useful, if not comprehensive.
The pubs nearby and in Saundersfoot are well worth visiting for meals.Staff are welcoming and helpful.
The only fault I could find is that you are on the top of a cliff. If it rains heavily in a strong wind, the rain hammers sideways.
Access to this site is relatively straight forward. A lane 1 mile long (with passing places) takes you to the site from the B4316 into Saundersfoot.
Pitched on Monkstone field we had views to die for, from the elevated field on a clear day it is possible to see all the way From Saundersfoot to the shimmering sands of Cefn Sidan in the East. The pictures on the web site are NOT photoshopped.
Hard Standing Pitches are serviced with electric hook up and grey waste drain but are gently sloping and levelling blocks will be required. The site is quite exposed and would suffer if the weather closed in.
Amusingly, sheep and lambs that has escaped from the grazing field roamed without a care amongst the pitches.
Owners are very friendly and the reception keeps a small stock of basic items. A Londis store in New Hedges was well stocked and reasonably priced.
Did not use the main facilities block, so am unable to comment, but the smaller block on our field, although dated, was perfectly clean.
Direct access down onto Monkstone beach is possible, but beware that it is steep.
One of the best campsites I have been to. Reception staff were great, very friendly and helpful. A group of us wanted to explore they gave us a map and recommended a few places.
The site was very clean as were the wash facilities. The beach was only couple minutes away down some steps great for a BBQ and some cheeky beers.
Definitely back again this year. Also the dog had a brill time as well.
I spent a couple of nights at the site in August and having been meaning to write a review since then.
I thought this was the just about the perfect campsite - with definitely the best view of any. It's close to both Saundersfoot and Tenby, a short walk along the coastal path takes you to either. The site itself sits on top of the cliffs and gives you the most amazing view of the sea and coastline.
I found the facilities excellent. A new shower block that was very clean and a great little shop with lots of local produce.
Best of all was the service - they really couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful.
We visited the site on a recommendation from friends. On check in we were informed of a family wedding taking place on the grounds of the site on Saturday evening and could experience some noise. The reception started at 5-30, which wasn't an issue, neither was the fireworks being set off at around 10-30pm.
Don't want to seem like killjoys, but playing loud music till turned 1-00am was rather inconsiderate. We feel we should of been informed when initially making our booking of the wedding reception.
We preferred the smaller shower/toilet block which is situated on The Monkstone field as the larger shower/toilet blocks were open planned and cold. The views from our pitch on the Monkstone field were wonderful and although the steps down to the beach were steep, the beach was breathtaking and would highly recommend.
Would consider returning again in the future purely for the beach and views.
