 Buttyland campsite was brill, toilets and showers were clean. They were very friendly and helpful. The only problem was that we had to wash football kit and the dryer was not working, but I dare say next time we visit it will be. The football area was a big hit with our boys. The surrounding area was good as we had a bunch of 14year olds and we could keep and eye on them. Hope to go back next year as it was a good site situated centrally for our needs

Visited for the weekend when the weather was forecast to be wet, we fell lucky as it rained mainly at night. The site was difficult to find as it was once known by a different name, Arreton, which is still on the gateway. If you see the garden centre, the entrance to the site is opposite.
Damian and Jackie took over this site just a year ago. Damian greeted us on arrival with his pleasant friendly smile and escorted us to our pitch.
The site is kept very clean including the toilets and showers. The toilets are separate from the showers, same building but a different entrance. There was a caravan rally in the next field and even though there was only 3 showers there was never a queue. The shower cubicles need updating as there is no room to hang up clothes etc without them getting slightly wet, discretion is required when undressing etc.
The site has it’s residential caravaners, but don’t let this put you off as all we met were friendly. In all we recommend this site and look forward to visiting again.
We visited a very nice clean bay near Bosherston, in the direction towards Pembroke, also pleasant is the walk around the lily ponds and a cream tea at Ye Olde Cafe.

Spent a lovely 2 weeks camping here. Camping field is large with many water points, so never had to walk far to get water. There aren't loads of outside lights, which meant we could see the stars every night. Owners are relaxed, very friendly and helpful, to the extent of allowing my partner to download & print a job application form on their PC/printer and faxing the completed application using their fax. They don't tolerate noise after 10pm. Owners are fairly new to site, but are making some upgrades. There are 2 washing machines on site and a freezer - both of which we used - washing machines were £1 a go and the freezer £2 pw - well worth it.
Manorbier railway station is less than 5 minutes walk away, and although the trains only run every 2 hours, we got organised and used them! The local buses stop a 5 minute walk from campsite and we used those to, as we didn't have the car with us.
Opposite the site is a garden centre which does proper coffee, scrumptious cakes and a good Sunday lunch (we're veggies and they happily catered for us).
We had a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing stay and will definitely be returning.

This was our inaugural visit with our trailer tent. We had a level pitch on the main tent field.
The owners Damion & Jackie are friendly&helpful, often to be found zipping around on their golf cart.
The showers were basic, but clean & plenty of hot water, there is a lot of room but we showered after returning from the beach & always found we had them to ourselves.
There was a large group of teenagers that had said they had adult supervision, but didn't. The new owners need to decide what sort of site they want to run.
We also experienced an inconsiderate/rowdy family(who wants to hear Peter Kay repeatedly over the car stereo?)but these were soon delt with by Damion.
The level crossing is only a vague noise in the back ground & doesn't run at night. We were far more disturbed by the snorer 3 tents away!
Maorbier is a lovely dog friendly beach. Site is a good base for visiting Folly Farm, Oakwood & other attractions & not too far from Tenby & Saundersfoot.
On the night we arrived we struggled to put up our awning, Damian came to cheer us on. Too exhausted to cook & in need of liquid refreshment, we had a great meal at the Lydstep Tavern.
After reading other reviews, we were disappointed by the chip van, but it was only the 3 rd time it had been opened by the new owners.
All in all it a great site.

I was very pleased with our stay here, excellent value at £10 a night for the dog, 4 adults, 2 cars and a large tent.Where else would you get this on a bank holiday weekend????
We stayed here at the tale end of the bank holiday weekend and were forewarned that there was no proper toilet paper as they were rather taken aback by the enthusiastic response to the bank holiday weekend and that there would be queues for the loo's and showers.They were very apologetic and incredibly friendly.We had proper toilet paper on the Tuesday after the bank holidayers left!
It is very close to manorbier, though as with anywhere in tenby do expect to have to drive. We sample the on site chip shop which was lovely!
For those who were on about the crossing, it is very much a background noise and most definitely not a constant nuisance (we were staying in the top field aswell)
All in all for £10 a night you don't expect the ritz but with friendly staff, excellent chip shop and location I will return when I visit Tenby again!

This was the first time we'd camped at this site, the new owners Damian & Jackie are really friendly and happy to help. They are in the process of upgrading the site and were on the "go" all the time we were there. The pitch was fairly level and the ground well drained. We arrived a week before the bank holiday and although the showers and separate toilet block were basic we found them clean. A different story when the site filled up with an extra 150 pitches for the bank holiday weekend, queing for the shower (3 of them) and the best time to use the loo was 5am. Damian & Jackie are in the process of improving facilities, and because of this myself and family are sure to return to this campsite.
We had a great time here and the bonus of a fish & chip shop on site is fab, along with Manobier garden centre across the road that do great cakes and coffees.

Streturned from a weeks camping holiday at Arreton. We went with friends (4 adults and 5 children under 10 in all). The site is situated nr Manorbier, a lovely small village 10-15mins drive west ofTenby.
The site actually changed hands three months before we arrived and the new owners are veryhelpful, friendly and very enthusiastic about their site, always zipping aroundin their golf-kart and stopping to chat whenever possible.
Prices are very reasonable; £14 per nightincluding elec hookup is good in any book and that is peak season. The site isbasic and perfect for those not wanting discos, clubhouses and fun parks.
It is in a lovely setting - two slightly sloping fields with excellent views onto the countryside around. There is plenty of room for the children toplay, including a small footy pitch with goals. The toiletblock has free hot showers (although they were luke-warm quite often!), the washingup room has sinks, washing machine, tumble dryer and chest freezer for use ofall. The site office now also providesbasic provisions and there is a very handy snack-van at the entrance to thesite.
There is a very well stocked shop in Manorbier village (5min drive). The pitchesare marked around the perimeter and are large with no set boundaries, perfect for our two large tents and associated gear. Electric points are limited at the moment but the owner said more areplanned for next year. There are plenty of water points around the site.
Manorbierrailway station is a 10 minute walk from the site where you can catch a traineast to Tenby and Saundersfoot or west to Pembroke if you don’t want to use thecar. There is little noise and NO disturbance from the train track, they only run hourly and not overnight.
Manorbier itself is very nice and the beachis superb with a castle to look around too. Tenby itself is attractive, unspoilt, very clean and safe (pedestrianised) and the beaches great for bathing. It’s generally cheap too – all day parking£1.50 to £2.50 at the most.
Criticisms?– pretty minor, the facilities may struggle to cope with demand when the site gets very full and they may need to impose a noise curfew as we did have anissue one night. All in alla superb week and we reckon we will definetly be back to Arreton, the over alllocation and friendly welcome is just too good to miss.

Stayed at this site with my wife and 3 children in the middle of the summer holidays and thought it was wonderful.
Tourers and tents set up in two large fields but electric hook-ups are limited. The fields are mainly very flat with lots of water taps dotted about, one field has goal posts but both have lots of room for children to run around and make new friends. The toilet / shower block is basic but kept clean. There are only 6 showers (3 men, 3 women) which can mean a bit of a wait at busy times and the cubicles are small which means clothes get wet if hanging up (remedied by putting clothes in carrier bag) but this would not put us off camping here again.
The owners were very friendly with lots of local knowledge and happy to give advise on where to go. The site 'shop' has frozen bread and milk and just a few other basics but is not run to make money, it is really there for emergencies only. Chip van had great chips but seemed to shut early. Garden centre over the road from the entrance had Tea room that also served reasonable Sunday lunch and catered well for our nut allergic daughter.
My only other slight gripe is the small bins which filled up quickly and the absence of any glass or plastic recycling.
Overall a good site with basic but clean facilities, well located to explore Pembrokshires beaches and towns.

This site has now changed hands so maybe it will be refurbished. There is plenty of room on the site as a whole but with electric hook-up we were only a few feet from neighbours to the side and back of us. Overall we had a noisy week there as the new owners issue no rules about behaviour and also accept large groups. We left two days early as a result.
Is walking distance to the beach although at around a mile not with young children and beach gear.
The facilities are very old and although basically clean the buildings are bedecked in cobwebs etc.

Just cameback from this site. Nice big site with lots of space for the kids.
It needs alot of updating as the electric kept going if more than one person had something plugged in. The showers are not baby friendly but you can manage. The toilets need updating.
Think the owners are doing a good job with the site as they dont seem to stop, but like I said certain areas need updating

We had a very pleasant stay at Arreton, now known as Buttyland. The site was quiet at night, no disturbance at all. Drainage was superb, when it rained the ground dried very quickly. Toilets are in the process of being upgraded as the owner has only recently acquired the premises. Very friendly owner. Made our stay exceptional. Amenities are basic, however the price per night reflected this. We only look for a base to stay and so don't want to pay over the odds. We will visit many more times I'm sure.

Just can back from Arreton campsite. This is our second visit and what can I say.
We stayed for 5 days at a fantastic price. The facilities are clean and all working including the dryer (wish I had this at home)
The owners are friendly and approachable and made our stay very welcome and secure.
The situation is perfect for visiting local attractions and of cause the local beaches.
The site has a football pitch in the middle of the camp, fantastic opportunity for the children to wear themselves out.
Will definitely be back next year and just to make things better the sun shone all week.
Sincere thanks to the owners for a fab holiday, no TV no psps, no Xbos360 and all that stuff, just listening to the children reading themselves to sleep listening to the sheep settling in the meadow and the night owls, haven't heard one for years.
Many thanks came home feeling refreshed.

A great camp site, a real gem. Good basic facilities, multiple water points, enclosed washing up area with washing machines and driers, free showers (although a little basic), a chest freezer for all to use (a really nice touch).
The camping fields are relatively flat and well laid out (not a huge number of electric hookup berths) and a real plus point is that the staff are extremely friendly and helpful who do not tolerate any rowdiness or noise! This last point has been most useful as I have had family holidays spoiled by some real prats who think it funny to stay up drinking and talking till 1AM with no regards to those around them. I`m no saint, but I do have consideration for others and know when to quiten things down.
The only down side really is the absence of a camp shop (but it does have a mobile fish and chip van - very nice!) however, Manorbier village is an easy walk and the main town of Tenby is 10mins in the car.
I really enjoyed my camping holiday with my son here at this park and I will return in future.
P.s. I read some reviews posted by others about this site and was staggered by what some people say. If all you have to whinge about is toilet paper and how the showers aren`t like the ones at home then don`t bother camping or caravanning - stay at home. Its meant to be a bit rough and ready but obviously some people are too soft these days!

I visited this site with my wife and two kids and found the site to be in a lovely location and close to all of the best sites.
The facilities on the site I thought were below average, the toilet blocks needed updating and were not always clean. The on site shop was ok.
The washing up facilities needed to be under cover, if its raining you get wet.
We paid £14 per night which when you look at other sites with better maintained facilities is fairly high.
