I had mixed feelings about this site. Firstly, the 3/4 mile narrow road to the actual site was very nerve racking. Towing a large unit, we were praying we were not going to see another vehicle come towards us, unfortunately we did but luckily it was a 4x4 so he had to reverse back. There is a 1/4 mile stretch where if 2 caravans meet you are stuffed, nightmare scenario we didn't get luckily. The views from any pitch on the site were fantastic. What spoilt it for me was the numerous statics. Toilet facilities were average. The money we paid for the pitch per night I would have expected higher quality and standard. One positive was how quiet the site was. One final thing that put us off was the 'Farmyard ' smells.
This is one of the most beautiful locations we have ever camped. From our tent we just looked over fields out to sea. At night we could see the lights on the tankers waiting to come into port.
The walk down to the bay itself is steep, but not too bad. The bay is breathtakingly lovely when the tide is out a vast expanse of sand and rocks pools is exposed. It is so gently sloping that it is lovely for children to swim in. One word of caution, the tide comes in very very quickly and I would advise against exploring the rocks once the tide as turned as it is very easy to get completely cut off. We witnessed this happen the 1st day we were there to 3 children and the Lifeboat had to be called out. Tide times are published in the free Pembrokeshire magazine available from the site office and tourist info.
Facilities were OK. Site was busy but never had to wait for shower/toilet although at times the water was not quite as hot as I like it! Washing up space was a bit tight and we did have to wait on a few occassions.
When the camping field was full there was no large areas for the children to play in, but pitches are generous and campers tolerant of footballs etc.
10-15min walk up the road into St Davids, which does have a supermarket, find it if you can! Fish and chip shop not much cop, sorry. We took a 20min drive out to 'Somethings Cooking' which is recommended by Rick Stein and it was the most delicious fish and chips I have ever eaten.
The only downside to the camp was the wind. We endured gale force 8, gusting stronger and started to see damage to our tent. After 3 nights of this, we had to cut our 12 night holiday short. Because our trailer tent had been damaged we were given a refund for the remaining nights, which we weren't expecting. We did have 3 days that were beautiful, but just be warned.It is very windy up there!
This was a site to return to, great scenery, dramatic walks along the cliffs, pleasant open pitches separate from caravans and statics so retaining a really good atmosphere. Facilities were very clean, management helpful. The only criticism was the lack of a freezer for cooling ice packs. Short walk into St Davids and a slightly longer walk to Solva along the cliff tops. Very useful farm produce.
The photo certainly doesn't disappoint. When you arrive at the Site the view is truly amazing, just as the photo promises. It is definitely worth driving down the narrow lane to get to the campsite. We (family 2 adults, 2 children) were very happy with the site. We have a tent so were initially worried about how busy/noisy it would be during peak time, but needn't have. The campsite has strict rules about noise which people adhered to so we weren't disturbed at all and the pitches are very generous so you didn't feel that you were on top of anyone. The facilities were excellent there are ample family rooms, two of which have small baths which made our lives much easier as one of our children hates showers. There's lots to do in the surrounding areas and with the beach 5 mins walk away the children were never bored. You can walk to St Davids, but there is also a bus available at the top of the road, opposite the Tourist Information Office which would probably take about 10 - 15 mins to walk. In all the site is ideally positioned for people who want to explore and/or spend time at the beach neither of which requires a car to do so. The staff are friendly and helpful and in all would have no hesitation in recommending the site.
This is just the most wonderful touring park. We have been twice now and would definitely go back again. The facilities are excellent. The shower/bathing facilities cater for all needs with either a shower, bath or disabled shower in each cubicle along with a sink and toilet. Even if the site was full, there was no waiting for a cubicle.
The views across the bay are breathtaking, and all the pitches have sea views. There is a small bay close by (albeit with a short but quite steep walk to it). The coast path has excellent walking right from the site.
It is a short walk into St Davids, with a pub-stop half way.
The staff are very friendly and helpful.
Dogs are welcome, and many of the pubs in St Davids are dog-friendly.
Me My husband and our 2 boys have just returned from Caerfai Bay after staying 8 nights.
We arrived to glorious sunshine and amazing views My husband was very pleased with my choice which was a good start.
Our pitch was quite central in field 3 and on a slight slope but with such amazing views that was a small price to pay.
It is a lovely walk up the lane into St Davids with all the amenities you could want and a great surf shop Ma Simes which my boys loved.
The bay itself can be a bit sea weedy first thing but soon clears and then the sea is lovely and a great place for rocky pooling.
White sands and Newgale Beaches are brilliant loads of parking and only £2/£3 per day great for body boarding, surfing and lovely flat sands for playing or lazying on.
The coastal walks are great and very accessible from the campsite,maps available from St Davids Tourist info at top of the lane for only 50p each bargain.
Loads to to in the area so you won't run out of ideas if you don't get blessed with good weather.
We has fantastic weather during the day bar 1 when it rained but had 2 very,very windy nights so good tents and firm pegging down is highly recommended incase you should encounter a breeze!
We all had an amazing time and are definitely returning next year with in laws nieces and nephews.
Overall the site has great facilities Wetsuit wash rooms,Take away, Laundrette and good pot washing facilities.Showers can be a little cool if you go at busy times but they are clean and I never had to wait to use either the shower or the toilet.
A fantastic site with fantastic views in a fantastic area.
I agree with all the comments that have been made. The views are to die for and the charges are reasonable, but there is a price to pay: the access road is very narrow as you approach the site and although there are passing places, as a previous reviewer has commented, they are not particularly wide if you encounter another motorhome coming in the opposite direction. The second problem is that if you are in field two, it is quite a long trek to empty your chemical toilet - not great if it is pouring with rain and there's a howling gale. Finally, when I was there, the site was quite crowded and as a result I had to queue for the loos, showers and washing-up facilities at various times. Having said all that, I have to be fair and repeat that the views are stunning, the pricing fair, the welcome friendly and the location very convenient for the delightful city of St David's. The facilities were very clean too, despite all the traffic.
Caerfai Bay, one of the loveliest sites we have stayed on, the view’s are amazing over looking St Bride’s bay. The site is well kept, good facilities plenty of hot water. The pitches have strict rules on where you pitch, so plenty of room between, no over crowding, and very quiet.
The beech is a secluded cove it’s quite a steep walk down but well worth it, and easy access to the coastal path, with the most dramatic coast line, aqua green sea, bright blue sky, coves and little islands, views that would beat any Greece island hands down!
St David’s is within easy walking distance, either up the country road or via the coastal path, plenty of shops including supermarket. Also a really good coffee shop with the yummiest ice creams (just past police station on way down to cathedral)
The Framers Arms serves good food, and do try its sister pub ‘sloop inn’ highly recommended. And if you what really excellence food, try the Swan @ Little Haven, what a find, the best meal we had all year (not just the holiday)
Additionally most pubs are dog friendly so bonus in the hot weather, and boy was it hot, definitely staycation for us
We were disappointed by this site. It occupies a lovely position with stunning views but the site was unkempt - the grass hadn't been cut and there were weeds everywhere.
Upon arrival we reported in to an office that was full of tatty furniture with clutter all over the floor and the welcome was lukewarm to say the least. The facilities were tired and the whole site could do with a bit of tidying up. Although new arrivals were not supposed to turn up until after 2 pm, the people who were going to occupy our pitch turned up at 11:00 while we were still packing up and couldn't wait for us to leave. They should not have been allowed in at that time of day.
Also, the statics were dated and spoilt the view.
St Davids is a gem, with a lovely cathedral and nice shops and restaurants. Lots of beaches and the lovely Solva not far away. I agree that the lane is very narrow and we too hoped not to meet another outfit coming the other way!
All in all, it is a shame because this site is popular because of its setting and access to the beach, not because of the facilities.
As per the previous poster- don't be put off by the statics. But. I caught the tail end of the school Easter holidays and there was a bit of noise from them (nothing anti-social but maybe sounds quieter in a static than in a tent!)- very peaceful after 10.30 though.
Lovely showers/facilities (and a wetsuit room) If like me, you want to give the kids some freedom (and not be trailing to the) toilet block every half hour, be warned- they have a strict rule about under 7's not using the toilets unaccompanied.
St David's a 20 min walk and easy for 6 year old legs, plus the costal path runs just outside the gate.
When I first arrived I was a little put off by the sight of caravans in the first field. However the second and third fields are very nice. They look out to a beautiful coastline. The campsite staff were all very friendly and helpful. The facilities were excellent. St davids is a 10 - 15 minute walk away. Caerfai Bay is 5 minutes walk down a steep path. I was able to carry my kayak down to the beach no problem. I usually visit Hillend Campsite on the Gower. Caerfai Bay I found was well worth the extra drive and much better value for money. 10/10 very good stuff.
Fantastic views clean showers nice staff. Bit of a walk to ST Davids but you cant have everything. Some pitches are not very level and there are statics. Beware the road to the site is narrow but with passing places. I can see why the site is very busy. A good location to tour the area and then relaxing the evening away. Water taps were situated near to the pitches we used.
Really nice site, safely situated on top of the cliff to the side of Caerfai bay. We had EHU in the 3rd field with fabulous views although sometimes SLIGHTLY obstructed with other tents, although the site certainly wasn't overcrowded. The best views on this site would be near the cliff side or the top of the 3rd field but these pitches don't have EHU,(you can't have everything!).
The Pembrokeshire coastal path is accessed almost immediately at the entrance to the site and the walks are out of this world. Towards St Davids approx. 20-40 mins (depending on how quickly you walk) we walked slowly with a 4 year old with a promise of delicious locally made ice cream in St Davids, you can do this as a circular walk, coming through the centre of St Davids and back downhill via a quiet road. St Davids is just lovely, nice little shops and of course the cathedral, not to be missed.
It takes approx. 10 mins to get to caerfai bay through the campsite and easily down via a stepped path with a hand rail. The bay is rocky at high tide but as the tide goes out there is a large expanse of sand and it is absolutely beautiful, with fabulous safe bathing and rock pools to explore.
There is a takeaway on the site, open on certain evenings which is good value and delicious.
The facilities are of a good standard and cleaned regularly.
There is no shop on this site but at the entrance to Caerfai farm (campsite across the road) there is an organic farm shop which sells essentials plus freshly baked croissants in the morning and home-made cakes. There is a small supermarket in St Davids and a fab grocer, also a good deli with unusual pates etc.
We have 3 boys ages 4, 14 and 16. The older two love to surf and we often dropped them at Whitesands and either stayed or walked to St Davids Head, but they were equally happy messing around at Caerfai bay and although there is no play area or games room on the site they made friends and were quite happy. The little one had his bike and we had a kite and swingball with us.
If you are unlucky and don't get good weather there is lots to do, there is a really helpful tourist information centre in St Davids. Pembroke castle is well worth a visit and the boat trips are excellent.
Do you think Pembrokeshire council will pay me for this review?
Seriously, it is a fab place to visit. Oh just one more thing ~ I rang the site this morning to book for this year (August 2009). Owners very friendly and helpful. Really looking forward to it.
I spent a thoroughly enjoyable week here with my 2 young children in a static van and I will definitely go back next year.
The van was immaculate and very comfortable. In fact the whole site was immaculate but the location was even better. Perched right above caerfai bay, the views are amazing, from every pitch I think, and you are right on the coastal path and a couple of minutes from the beach.
There is a little shop just next door and a great supermarket in the town. There is also a nice pub a few minutes walk up the road from where you can also see the sea. It was lovely walking back. At the top of the road there is another lovely pub which does nice food too.
St davids is walkable but was slightly too far for my little ones but car parking was so cheap it didnt matter. For the big sandy beach experience we drove 5 mins to whitesands and 10 mins to newgale and you couldn't be disappointed. Haverfordwest is about half an hour away. And fishguard 15/20 mins so the location was great. There is a good bus service that runs around the area too.
St davids is a lovely little town, sorry, city. The cathedral is breathtaking. There are plenty of nice little shops and although we never dined out, a lot of the restaurants looked nice too.
The sites owners are very friendly and very hospitable. There are plenty of recycling facilities, nice launderette and drying areas handy for our wetsuits! plenty of room to play!
Probably the best site we have ever visited! The veiws are stunning. Owners are very friendly and helpful and the facilities are spotless.I saw someone cleaing at 6am.
The site was almost full but the atmosphere was very relaxed and peaceful. A short walk up the road is a small shop that baked freash croissants and a pub that served excellent food. Also it was a short walk into St David's.
The Pembrokehire National Park path runs in front of the site and it has possibly the most beautiful scenery in Wales/UK.
We hope to visit again this summer.

I had mixed feelings about this site. Firstly, the 3/4 mile narrow road to the actual site was very nerve racking. Towing a large unit, we were praying we were not going to see another vehicle come towards us, unfortunately we did but luckily it was a 4x4 so he had to reverse back. There is a 1/4 mile stretch where if 2 caravans meet you are stuffed, nightmare scenario we didn't get luckily. The views from any pitch on the site were fantastic. What spoilt it for me was the numerous statics. Toilet facilities were average. The money we paid for the pitch per night I would have expected higher quality and standard. One positive was how quiet the site was. One final thing that put us off was the 'Farmyard ' smells.
