We are a retired couple on his motorhome 5th trip with our 2 golden retrievers and so far we met wonderful and caring people.
The positive first on this camping: the toilets and showers were very clean. And that’s it.
The not so good and negative; We arrived on Monday and were disappointed not to be welcomed on the site. We were always on our other trips and it was really nice.
The site was nice but it said it was ideal for going walking and cycling. In fact except if you have a car or are willing to move your motorhome, you cannot go anywhere by foot from the camp. Same to go to the beach or to the shops.
The next morning on Tuesday I called to know where to bring our dogs for a nice walk. I gave my name but wasn’t welcomed either. I was told the dogs can only be walked in the camping itself and on lead as all the other fields have horses in them. We tried a little path close to the camp but ended up within rusted cars and rusted tractors, making us a bit at unease so we walked back to the camping. Probably small dogs can be walked on lead but when you have large dogs they need exercise and run around so it was disappointing that there was no place at all to have them run, knowing that we needed to pay for each dog. In the other campings, the dogs were free of charge and had a place to exercise, but fair enough, different rules.
On the Tuesday around 12pm, a lady started mowing the grass in the camp. She was at the complete opposite of the camp but it was already pretty loud what I found annoying because we just wanted to relax. Thankfully she stopped at 12:20 and we could hear the birds again.
Unfortunately she was back at 12:30, up and down and up and down… we had arranged for family to come and have lunch with us at the camping. At 1:30 may be, she starting mowing the lower part of the camp, where we were and it was terrible. When she was 5 meters away we couldn’t hear each other talking so I went to see her. She stopped the engine. I asked her if she could do this part another time because we had guests and it was too noisy for us to talk. She exploded and said “And when am I supposed to do it?” I said I don’t know but not now. She said I was crazy and nobody ever complained about it and she would continue anyway. With my arms in the air I said “fine”.
However she went away and the noise stopped. It was so nice. 5 minutes later she came back in a car and parked close to our MotorHome. She said “my husband is very upset (that’s how I deducted she was the owner as she didn’t introduced herself), then she continued “I want you to leave right now and I will refund you”. I said no, we are not leaving now. We have guests and we will be leaving tomorrow morning as planned. We just asked for this terrible noise to stop! She started screaming, told me again that I was crazy. My husband told her that it’s not a way of talking to people, but she didn’t apologize. She asked again that we leave and we said no. Then she entered a car and drove away. And that was the end of it.
I’m 70 and my husband is 67. We were never talked to that way especially in a place that’s supposed to be in tourism business.
I would have liked to be able to put a video regarding the grass mowing so people would realize I’m not lying about the noise.
We left as planned on Wednesday morning swearing we would never ever put a foot in this place again!
So our score definitely reflects our experience. via mobile
Fairly easy to find though a couple more signs within the farm might be useful to direct people through the yard and up the hill.
What an amazing view and such large well appointed pitches several new hard standings with electricity and water posts shared between every 2 pitches.
It’s amazingly quiet with a really friendly and relaxed owner. Rubbish and recycling available alongside Elsan disposal.
A toilet and dishwashing facilities are available but we didn’t use them.
At £18 pn incld EHU, it’s good value - we had mostly good weather with very little wind. It’s a fairly exposed hillside so folk shouldn’t be surprised if it’s sometimes a bit blowy! via mobile
We nearly didn't stay here, in spite of having paid a deposit when we booked! - because we were worried about the distance to the showers (husband recovering from broken leg!) and the lack of shelter from the wind. In the end we loved the place so much we stayed 18 nights, 4 longer than originally intended!
At £12 per night (£6 each for 2 adults), this is one of the cheapest sites we've stayed on for a while.
The site is on a hill, facing South West, so there is a superb view over Llanelli, the Estuary and the Gower peninsular, (spoiled only by the pylon line!)but it does get very windy. There is some shelter form the wind, but it is at the furthest point from the single toilet in the field, and a long way from the additional toilets and showers in the farmyard.
There is a small metal shed with washing-up facilities - (wash-up liquid and sponges provided and replenished regularly!)- but, as yet, (it seems there may be plans to address this in the future!) there is no hot water, so you have to collect it from the disabled loo in the farmyard, or heat your own.
All toilets have liquid soap and 'real' towels (except disabled loo/shower, which has an electric hand drier) and plenty of loo roll. The owner checks the facilities, cleaning, emptying bins and replenishing supplies several times a day.
She also cuts the grass regularly, so it is never long - (wellies not a necessity!), but the cut grass does get EVERYWHERE when it's wet because it sticks to your shoes and treads into the car, toilets, showers and tent.
There are electric hook-ups at £2 per night, but there is no playground or entertainment on site. The field is huge, with the tents and caravans around the edge so there is plenty of room for ball games, kite-flying etc. Because we did not require electric, we were free to put our tent wherever we liked.
Although it is not on, or particularly near a main road, Cae Mawr farm's position on the hill above Llanelli means that emergency vehicle sirens can be heard very clearly. However, all the campers and caravanners who were on the site with us WERE very quiet and considerate at all times.
Dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a lead at all times, except for the farm dog, who wandered freely and barked and growled at everyone using the facilities in the yard. It did mess on the camping field a couple of times, but this was cleaned up. There is an area of longer grass at the edge of the field for exercising dogs.
All rubbish is collected in a skip on the field. It has doors, so there is no smell. There is no recycling.
Llanelli is a 5 minute drive away and has a range of big supermarkets and Take-aways. Furnace village, 1/2 mile from the site, has a post office stores, open until late 7 days a week (not the PO part)and a newsagent and stores open in the daytime.
The Millennium Coastal park is a good place to visit, with several miles of coastal cycleway and walks. Bikes can be hired from the Visitors Centre in Llanelli. The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust is also nearby, and you can get to anywhere on the Gower within about 40 minutes drive. We had a lovely day out at the National Botanical Gardens, about half an hour's drive towards Carmarthen. Our ticket (£8. 50 per adult) entitled us to a return visit within 7 days, and there was certainly enough to see to go back.
There are 2 local reservoirs within walking distance of the camp site, along quiet country roads, a disused railway and field footpaths.
We found plenty to occupy us for nearly 3 weeks, in spite of wet and windy weather, and enjoyed relaxing on the site admiring the view. The owners were very friendly and extremely helpful.
We stopped over the jubilee weekend in 2 tents and a caravan.
The campsite is in my opinion one of the best we have stayed on for atmosphere and views, its very relaxed and the owner is very flexible about where you pitch. Plenty of room for my 2 boys (20 months and 4) to run around till they dropped and you can always see them.
The electric hook up for the tents x4 is just a post in the ground so if there's 4 different people you would have to huddle round it if you don't have a long lead.
Bad points are the facilities are pretty poor, there's 2 working toilets and 2 showers for the whole site, also we where asked to keep our dogs on the lead which is fine but whilst we where out the owners springer spaniel ripped up our rubbish bag on 2 occasions as its left to roam!
I don't think the owner understands how good this site could be with a little improvement like shower blocks on the field instead of 300yds away.
I would definitely come back as overall its a lovely place to stay and the view is breathtaking.
Had a lovely weekend at Caemawr with my husband and kids. The site in itself is lovely; but it is on a bit of a hill so it is just a little bit windy.
The facilities are a toilet block and also a sink unit in a shed which only has cold running water. There are 2 shower blocks and toilets further down to the main gate.
The owner is quite flexible in regarding the time you arrive and leave, which is better than some places I've read about.
There are a few steep hills in the area. But if you have a car it should be fine. With just a 10 minute ride in a car to the town of Llanelli. And if you are like us and have to walk. I'd say it is approximately 35 minutes to walk to Parc Howard which is very nice to take a few sandwiches on a hot day! There is a petrol station within a 20 minute walk a bit further on is a general store. Fish and chip shop
And also co-op with a Chinese take away opposite. Also there is plenty of space for kids to run around. Although no park to play in. They were fine making their own fun. Football, frisbee and a kite
