We visited this site for 4 nights in July 2006 - during the heatwave. It was absolutely lovely. We had a tent in the 3rd field and took our 8 month baby and 2 dogs.

The views across the bay/coast line are stunning. The facilities were much better than I expected. There are showers; family rooms (with baby changing facilities) and they are all maintained to a very clean standard. There is a wetsuit cleaning room, a washroom (for pots and pans) and waste disposal is maintained well too - so no mess near the bins. Tip - get up early to shower (7.30/7.45AM), or be prepared to queue a little.

There are also laundry facilities.

I think this site attracts many regulars back every year. It has a lovely, relaxed, family feel to it. The kids can enjoy themselves flying kites, playing frisbee etc. When it gets dark, there is no rowdiness - it all gets peaceful very quickly and you get a great sense that everyone at the campsite has respect for the site and its other occupants.

Pitches are marked with good space to set up your tent, so you are never too squashed up next to your neighbour. We were lucky and on a flat piece of land - though I did see some tents on a bit of a slope.

You are able to hire iceboxes/packs at 10p each per day.

We will definitely revisit in July 2007. The views did it for me, plus the relaxed atmosphere - and of course, the lovely St David's is only 15 mins walk away, or 5 mins in the car (if you drive down the steep hill past the cathedral, there is a park and ride bus that will take you to the heart of it all - for those that can't face the 5 minute walk back up the steep hill!).

Pebbles Yard cafe is lovely - do visit their little shop which has some gorgeous kids toys and bits and pieces in - you can sit outside when its sunny or upstairs on comfy sofas listening to relaxing music if the weather is not so good.

I visited Caerfai Bay park in August 2004 with my two teenagers. I loved the location of this campsite, which was fully booked. The views of the sea are fantastic although there is very little shelter if it was windy! It is very close to Caerfai beach (very steep path to beach) and the Pembrokeshire Coastal path, which is fantastic only 10min walk to St Davids with a good supermarket & cafes.

There are 3 fields - the furthest being for tents without electric hookup - some sloping a bit. Facilities good had to queue for a short time for a shower some mornings. The new shower block near the entrance was best but a long walk in the middle of the night! The nearer toilets were a lot older but adequate and just a field away.

It is worth the queue for croissant, milk and organic cheese and milk at the little shop near the site entrance.

Would recommend.

We visited around the August bank holiday weekend when the site was fully booked. Marked pitches meant that we were never crowded and were allocated a pitch which was reasonably level with stunning views across St Brides Bay. If you are in a tent, you should be aware that some of the pitches are on fairly significant slopes, particularly in the third field, furthest from the entrance. In addition, some pitches were a little close to the toilet block in the second field.

The toilet/shower blocks and washing facilities were a little stretched in this busy week, but were regularly cleaned, and adequate for our family of 5.

The city of St Davids is within walking distance, and the Pembrokeshire coast path runs by the entrance to the site if you want to walk further afield. The best beach is Whitesands.

We visited the site in June of 02, plenty of space, great views, with a path leading from the campsite to Caerfai bay. Friendly staff, with the farm shop selling organic produce (delicious pork and leek sausages), just a minute away. The showers are really hot so be careful, it probably didn't help that we had sunburn! Good dishwashing facilities. A very good supermarket in St Davids, and tourist info just up the road.
