 Second time we have stayed here so we knew what to expect. Things have not really changed since 2022.
The showers are still 1 euro for 6 minutes. However the facilities are clean, dated and cold and I can imagine in high season that there would be queues to use them.
We did not use any of the other facilities so cannot comment. The pitches are close together but we were out of season so it was not a problem.
The family are very welcoming and the site is well maintained. They have disabled shower facilities.

Stayed here for two nights and found it to be a nice site.
Very quiet even though kids were playing out which wasn’t a problem for us.
€1 for a shower token which gave you 6 mins which was just about right.
The guest wifi was absolutely pointless even offer a decent service or don’t bother.

Stayed here for a couple of nights so we could visit Waterford, which is easily reached by a regular bus service from a stop a short walk away. That meant we didn't have time to visit locally other than a walk down to the cove, which is pretty. The first night of our stay there was a storm which knocked out the power to the boiler several times, the last occasion needing an engineer to visit so no hot water and a delayed departure on our last morning.
The family room has a huge tv but was very cold and not very welcoming. You can get free wifi in the family room, but as it was often locked and the signal weak it was not ideal. The pitches are close together, though as we were really pre season, this was not a problem and we were invited to pick a spot most protected from the storm. You do pay for showers but this is quite common in Ireland. Would visit again.

Family of 4 travelling in a large Conway trailer tent. Very impressed with the campsite, toilet block was immaculate, campsite well kept and overall a very well presented site. Pitches were more than adequate in size no issues with manoeuvrings on a weekend that was near capacity.
Friendly helpful staff seemed to working around the clock.
Price was inline with all campsites in Ireland, €35 incl electricity per night.
Although the campsite does have WIFI available I found this a complete waste of money as response was poor at best even during quiet hours.
Overall, a quiet small site in a fab location close to all amenities, local cove is lovely, beach is a childs dream, Splashworld is heaven on a wet day and the all year carnival is great fun for all the family.
Will return to this site in 2014 :-)

Immaculate campsite with lawns mowed every day, spotless toilets, lots of facilities. However is pretty expensive and everything seems to be charged extra: spent 25 Euros on laundry, have to pay for showers (1 Euro lasts 5 mins) and bath, cooking and even hairdryers. WiFi is 10 Euros per week. This all seems a bit steep when you are already paying about 40 Euros per night. Pitches are small and very close together, though well-maintained and hard standing. Very busy, felt crowded, and had to take a key every time you needed the toilet which seemed a little OTT and very inconvenient for the kids. There is a small basketball/hurling court and sand playground for the kids but it is right in the middle of accommodation and so probably annoying for older, non-kid orientated travellers. A great deal of rules, including no cycling which seems a real shame considering how many families were here. In a 29 foot RV with car it was VERY VERY difficult to get around the busy site and almost impossible (15 mins of shunting) to use the dump station. Is located through a housing estate and has a roundabout, so quite hard to get into. Staff were very friendly and helpful, but reception did not stick to its opening hours. Walkable is Newtown Cove which was small, covered in litter and full of seaweed. Its about 3km to walk into Tramore itself, which has a big sandy beach and lots of facilities. Would probably not recommend to those seeking space and relaxation: but probably good for those who want to meet an awful lot of other campers, lots of kids and who like their rules!

Nice site which is convenient for Waterford. There's a lot there for children- play area, games room and regular films in the TV lounge. The downside was that there were lots of children roaming and screeching until quite late at night.
The toilets blocks were very clean- though it is one euro for a shower or bath.
Within walking distance there is Newton Cove beach which is a pretty little stony cove with good swimming and diving. There is nothing else really in walking distance, but you can walk up to the main road and get a bus to Waterford or Tramore.
Food and drinks can be found in the Rocket pub which is about 15 minute walk up a narrow country lane. It is a very friendly place and very child friendly.
The biggest drawback for this site is the size of the pitches. Cosy isn't in it! Our guy ropes were touching next door's wheels and some units had guy ropes crossing over. They really pack you in and consequently it feels quite cramped.
In short it's a handy spot but if you want to be able to walk around your tent/ caravan without walking into next door's awning perhaps it would be best to ask for two pitches!

Very friendly and well organised site. Facilities are immaculate. We did find the pitches small and pitches are very close together. This is a popular site and it is very very busy. There is a good children's playground located in the middle of the site but if you are pitched near it its quite noisy. Location is excellent and getting to the site is easy - nice wide roads giving easy access.

Newtown Cove was our first stop during our two week tour of Ireland. The trip from Rosslare took about 90 mins, but we had to depend on road signs and a map as the sat nav was hopeless, but the site was easy to find. We were allocated a pitch that was not huge but ideal for a motorhome.
We stayed for 2 nights and the weather was scorching so we sat out for most of it. Near to the site is a cove where the locals were swimming in the sea but I didn’t brave it! There is also a pub nearby that served great food. The shower cost €1 a wash but you get loads of time. All the other facilities here are great. Only downside the TV reception is dire.

Stayed at this site three times over the years, because the cove nearby is the best fun place I know on the South coast for experienced swimmers and rock-divers. This is because the tides are relatively predictable and safe here, and there are always local swimmers there to warn you if it's likely to get rough. One part used to be a 'men-only' bathing area in the bad old days - the sign is still there!
The site's been pretty full each time we went, it's great value for an elegant area with fine local walks, so do book. It has good pitches, facilities and shop, a sandpit and playground, and apparently more in the last two years.
But for proper football you'd need to go the 2 miles down to Tramore strand. There are lovely buildings in town, though it's hard to think of a UK equivalent for the front with its fairground - some resort near Liverpool or Cardiff, in the Sixties, but cosier? Maybe it's changed, but they all look better after dark, and the smell of diesel and chips - pure nostalgia!

We stayed on this site during our tour of Ireland. The site is very well kept and the toilets / showers are very clean and efficient, although you only get 5 minutes in the shower which was very quick for me with long hair! My only nag was some of the pitches are small and too close to each other (including ours).
Newtown Cove is about 2 miles or so from Tramore, but in agreement with the other reviewers, don't even go there. Its a horrible tacky place with fun fair, overpriced junk food, and a filthy beach. On the other hand, Dunmore East which is just around the coast is picturesque and clean.
