Fully-serviced hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked I was apprehensive about staying at a pub as a solo traveller but need not have been. It had been thoughtfully planned out with four beautifully paved pitches with water, EHU, picnic table and brolly and a beautiful paved pitch complete with planters full of summer flowers. The best two nights’ sleep I’ve had on my month long trip. I chose it because it was near a bus stop with a regular (hourly) service to Saundersfoot and Tenby in one direction and Haverfordwest in the other direction. Very good value especially compared with some other sites. The only reason for not giving a 10 score is because there is no showering facility, dish washing area, nor, curiously enough, anywhere to put rubbish, although, to be fair, I did know about all of these except the lack of rubbish disposal when I signed up. I was very very pleasantly surprised.
From the manager: Thank you for your review and comments very much appreciated. in relation to your query regarding showers etc and also rubbish disposal,
We are registered as a camper Aire and the CAMpRA guidelines say campers are and should be self sufficient with showers and toilets, we are not a camp site but a stopover with limited services. In relation to rubbish again CAMpRA Guidelines as follows:
CAMpRA guidelines for motorhome "aires" (short stay, self-contained parking areas) focus on responsible use and minimal impact. Key aspects include requiring self-contained vehicles, limiting stay duration (typically 48 hours with no return within 7 days), maintaining spacing between vehicles, and promoting "leave no trace" practices.
Key CAMpRA Guidelines:
Self-Contained Vehicles Only:
Aires are designed for motorhomes with onboard facilities, including toilets and waste water tanks.
Limited Stay Duration:
A maximum stay of 48 hours is common, with a mandatory "no return" period (e.g., 7 days) to prevent long-term parking.
Spacing Requirements:
Vehicles should be parked with a minimum distance between them (e.g., 3 meters) to allow for safe access and prevent overcrowding.
"Leave No Trace" Principle:
This emphasizes responsible behavior, including proper disposal of waste and avoiding any actions that could damage the site or surrounding environment.
No Camping Behavior:
Aires are intended for overnight parking, not for setting up awnings, chairs, or engaging in camping activities outside the vehicle.
Specific Restrictions:
Some aires may have additional rules, such as restrictions on the use of BBQs, awnings, or external solar panels.
Responsible Waste Disposal:
Motorhome owners are expected to dispose of chemical toilet waste and grey water responsibly, following guidelines to prevent pollution.
