Aber Bay Holiday Park

Liked Had a nice flat pitch. Excellent club house. Really helpful staff. Can take car to pitch to unpack but can't stay parked there - if you have kids it makes it a lot safer and there was a lot of space for them to play safely. Pitches were fairly well spaced and it wasn't that busy so had lots of space. I was a bit hesitant after reading the reviews but those issues can happen on any site - it is the people that were booked in that caused the issues not the site which does have security and security staff were really helpful. Beach nearby with amusements chip shop and pizzas. Nice ice cream stall. Can walk over hill to Aberystwyth - which I would have loved to be capable of doing.

Disliked I have mobility issues so the walk to the car was a bit of a pain but maybe having a parking area a bit closer could be easily sorted for the bottom field. Wouldn't have booked if I had realised it was portaloos and showers but was pleasantly surprised and had no issues with them whatsoever and the toilet rolls were regularly restocked

Liked Lovely campsite , local to beach

Disliked The club house . Tried to go for a meal twice with no luck . Over an hour wait the first time , the second time was an hour wait , decided to wait this time to be told 40 minutes later they had no chips and couldn’t fulfil the order I was given a refund . Another time we popped in and had a drink , and me and my children witnessed a fight security had to break up . My 8 year old was petrified.

Liked The location. That there is a pool and a restaurant.

Disliked The place seemed disorganised as if it was their first week in business. Would be nice if swimming was free for people staying in tents, just like it is for people staying in caravans.

Liked Nostalgic type of vibe.
Clubhouse was good food good
Very close to the sea and bay
Amazing views and walks
Security Guard Dean was great. He looked after us and the site we were on for 10 hours a day and we felt comfortable leaving our belongings behind.
Swimming pool was great
The little arcade was ok.
live music food options were good around the site.
The walk across to Aberystwyth was pretty and the lift train on the other side was a welcome sight.
My 6 year old loved the place. He went in the sea learned to skip rocks, played on the machines.
The last day we had to leave by 12pm this was awesome.
We went to go to the front to say bye to the sea for 5 minutes and was still there 7 hours later playing and messing about.
The reception staff were all fantastic and helpful.
Shop was good
The campsite was quiet, some kids running around messing with others tents and bits but nothing bad bad.
Loads of room to play
Very laid back place
The Amber bay side of things is all you could want and is just right.

Disliked Campsite is away from the caravan park and have to walk along a little road and the cars do not slow down or even drive at the speed limit. It’s very dark walk at night.
No hot water to wash up after cooking. Impossible to get pans plates clean after cooking.
The whole site bar the swimming pool and club house is dated, but not bad in any way really.
Long wait for food, to be expected really.

Liked Absolutely great site for a little holiday and test run for our new tent.
Lovely spacious pitches, toilets weren’t as bad as I thought they would be!!
Gorgeous part of Wales.

Disliked The walk to the clubhouse, but narrow when cars drive fast when you have young children.
Having to pay for swimming! But if I wasn’t camping🤷🏻‍♀️

Liked On the coast, enjoyed the clubhouse. Quiet pitch for roof tent.

Led to nice coastal walks.

Disliked No hot water for washing up, also not covered incased the weather was bad.

Needs an additional toilet, shower block at the bottom of the field for those using roof tents.
