Date of Visit: October 2021 Unit:  Motorhome
Nights stayed: 2 Travelling as:  Family with young children
Reviewer: Susiemac2104 1 review from this member

 Great location right on the beach and near amusements, restaurants and bars

Only a 10-15 min walk to the main town

We were on pitches 16 and 17 which were mainly grass but some others were on gravel so if you want grass I would request it when booking

Didn’t use showers or toilet as didn’t need to but looked clean and tidy

Ideal for dogs as there is a large pathed and grass area behind the site where I could walk mine and she could have a run but then there is also the beach which she could go on

Also great for kids as plenty for them to do and see and we had elderly people with us, was ideal for them as everything central

We took scooters and bikes to get around and go a bit further but no need as most things within walking distance

The Hi Tide restaurant/ pub was on site and dog friendly too

We paid £20 deposit for the gate fobs and got it back easily on check out and return of the key

Will definitely visit again as ideal for £22 a night and location is great

Reviewer: Jojogr 1 review from this member

 Great friendly welcome and directions when we got lost We were given a choice of pitches as well.

Only grumble. We wanted a shower later on sunday but showers weren't working.

Dog excrement in field and owners letting dogs poo in field. Maybe a dog walking area wud be useful.

Thank you

 We came here on non electric pitch as I forgot to tell them my partner problems, but !

The manager stepped up to the plate after introducing her to him he gave us a electric pitch right by front after we were right at back of sandy bay!

He was amazing to her needs and can't thank him enough ! With no extra charge the virus lounge where we bought tickets was excellent and the food was fantastic on Friday and perfect Sunday lunch cabaret

Thanks for a great weekend your staff worked hard security was good

 Very nice site 2 seconds from the beach.

Booked over the phone which was easy & straight forward.

Haven’t stayed in Porthcawl for quite a few years and although it’s not changed it brought back a lot of good memories.

Would come again

 Toilets cleaned every morning. Friendly staff.

Sadly had to pay for 4 nights even though we only stayed for 2 but this may only be the case because it was the Elvis convention.

 Very good location, porta cabin toilets and shower block clean and prctical.

The only let down was trying to peg down a awning due to the site being mostly chippings so very difficult to get the pegs in.

 Great site right in the middle of everything, including right on the beach,

2 min away from fun fair and 10 min from town.

Wouldn't hesitate to revisit it again

Reviewer: Nicola 1 review from this member

 We loved our stay, close the beach a short walk into town.

All facilities were immaculate, people were friendly and the pitch was a good size for a motorhome.

Reviewer: Christ 2 reviews from this member

 Quiet site, on the beach which is great.

Toilet and shower blocks are Portacabins, but they are very clean and tidy. Showers are good and hot.

Need to have words with their cleaning lady, who was rude to my wife when she tried to take our boy to use the bathroom when she was in the middle of cleaning. No sign up, no cleaning times noted. How were we to know? But sure, be rude about it. And have a good old natter away to another guest whilst people are waiting to use the facilities.

Maybe warn people on the phone that you want us to hand over £20 cash for a keyfob for the gate. Was unprepared completely. Bare in mind that you issue NO booking confirmation, so no info to work with prior to turning up. Just hope and prey the booking went through and rock up I guess?

Shame about the negative points because, basic as the site is, it is wonderfully sited, stress free and generally a good pitch.

Teach staff some manners, if at all possible. They cost nothing, and you will not get reviews like this left on here.

Reviewer: Crazyd 1 review from this member

 Even though I booked early in the year. I ended up in the second park with my later booking friends being in the first park and we wanted to be all together.

Hardly any grass around my pitch just hard ground with no way to fix awning or wind breaks.

Still rubbish at my pitch from the last people.

Reviewer: Bottom 1 review from this member

 Had a really good time, for the 2 nights I stayed would have stayed longer if I could. Hi tide restaurant food was lovely and drink were responsible price to.

Beach 30 feet away, porthcawl fair 100 yards down the road, treco bay 200 yards away, also porthcawl town not far.

Only issue was if you want a quite chill out the fair can be herd until 9pm still it closes but that's me being picky.
