Review - Newpark Holiday Park Gower

Newpark Holiday Park
Port Eynon, Gower, Swansea, Glamorgan, SA3 1NP
Date of Visit:
Pitch:	7	The site was tiered, so the pitch was flat and well drained. Most pegs went in first time, but there were more than a few stones, so bring rock pegs just in case. Site also a little exposed so the wind will catch you.
Customer service:	2	Arrived early evening to a busy site. After visiting reception, where we were handed our toilet roll and a list of rules, we pitched our tent. Were told the guy would be down to check our pitch (once he had finished his tea behind the reception desk) but he never materialised.
Facilities:	3	Facilities at a bare minimum, no clubhouse or pool and a poor shop.
Cleanliness:	4	Toilets and showers in the top block were clean, however did need updating, the hand drier never worked. Went into the lower block only once and the lights didn't work and wasn't so clean. Shower tokens were needed and were 20p each. Most felt the tokens never lasted long enough, but I found the time was ok. Also if you do need to put in another token, its outside the door - difficult when your in the nude!
Views:	7	A good view of the coast. The beach is nice, but a fair trek to get to on foot.
Tranquillity:	0	They need to police the site and enforce their quiet policy. The drunken partying near us made noise long into the night and there were numerous arguments and fights nearby. This is supposed to be a family site but I would not feel safe taking my family here again. The owner did come around in the morning to tell off the noisy ones, but unfortunately also tried to tell us off as she thought we were with them – we soon put her straight and we did not receive any apologies for the mistake or the noise. It would have been better if she had sorted out the hooligans in the evening when it all started.
Value for money:	0	Were booked in by other members of the party, so I didn't choose the site. Was more than a little surprised to find out it was £24 a night for a tent (included electric hook up we didn't need, and were not offered any refund).
Overall:	2	Wont be coming back. Disappointed at this site.
