Campsite

  • Peaceful adults-only site on a two-acre field near Llangrannog
  • New Quay, Penbryn and Aberporth within 20 minutes' drive
  • Sea views from the pitches; easy access to Ceredigion Coast Path
Sea views, splendid sunsets and space for stargazing – just some of the treats that await for guests at Camp at Erwan, on a secluded hilltop overlooking the Ceredigion coastline. And you can also throw into the mix a serene child-free atmosphere, as here these particular pleasures are reserved for adults only… This is a fabulous spot indeed, with pitches in a two-acre field giving plenty of space to admire the sunrise over the Cambrian mountains in the morning as well as the sun dipping into Cardigan Bay come the evening. In between the two, you may like to take a walk on the Ceredigion Coast Path, which is accessed 15 minutes’ walk away, and head over to Llangrannog (about 45 minutes’ walk). There’s a gorgeous sandy beach there, along with several award-winning places to eat. Also within easy walking distance is a fully stocked farm shop where you can pick up all manner of local treats (perhaps something to go on your barbecue and a drink or two for sunset hour?) Beyond that, other days out might take you to places like Aberaeron, Cardigan or New Quay (a famously excellent place to see dolphins, either from a boat trip or while on shore). There are lots of gorgeous beaches to explore along this stretch of coast too (Penbryn and Aberporth among them). Facilities on site include a phone charging point, a washing-up area, compost toilets and hot showers (supplied with eco-friendly body wash). There’s also an EV charger on site that’s available to guests for an extra cost. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on site, and have access to an allocated exercise area where they can run about freely.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: We had an amazing stay. The owners were lovely and polite. The location was beautiful, lots of different walks in all directions. Beautiful covers and beaches to visit. It was very quiet, still in school holiday time and surprised by how quiet it was. The campsite was clean and quiet. The facilities were amazing, the owners have taken care and pride in providing comfort to your stay. The pitches were separated so you felt you had privacy. They had an enclosed dog area where you could let your dog off for a run about and to do it's business which was a great add to the campsite. There is a local farm shop just down the road. All in all one of the best campsites we have stayed at.

Liked: We absolutely loved everything about this campsite! The site is beautiful with gorgeous sea views, friendly owners, and lovely facilities. The showers are hot with great free toiletries provided, which was such a treat. Our dog has never been so relaxed at a campsite - calm and quiet with a very large dog paddock for her to be off the lead for a proper zoom around. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this site for people looking for a calm and peaceful environment with wonderful facilitates and owners. We can't wait to come again!

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked: The peacefulness in nature, the amazing panoramic views, nestled amongst wild waving grasses. The eco facilities - best camping shower ever! Genuine friendliness of Janey and Rich. Little touches like the honesty larder, luxury eco shampoos to use. A huge dog walking field with the most amazing views. Perfect location to visit the amazing coastline too.

Disliked: Literally nothing!

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked: We received a warm welcome. The dog field was great for our pups. The facilities are well looked after and designed. We especially liked the showers, which offered a luxury feel. The kitchen is well equipped. The campsite is quiet and peaceful with a great view.

Disliked: Note there is no direct access to the costal path or beach from the site. This is a short walk away.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Loved everything about this campsite. Perfect location with the perfect balance between countryside and local amenities. Local farm shop 10 mins walk, 20 min walk to the town where there is a lovely beach, ice cream parlour, pizza place, pub and restaurant. Campsite itself is the best I have ever stayed in. The owner was the most lovely genuinely kind woman I have had the pleasure to meet, she could not do enough for us and had brilliant knowledge of the area. The toilets, shower and kitchen were immaculately clean with nice touches such as a honesty pantry and phone chargers. The pitches were nestled in wildflowers and the site only allows a small amount of campers at one time to maintain the peace and tranquility. The views from the site are beautiful also, the stars, sunsets and sunrises are amazing. We really enjoyed our time here and absolutely will return.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked: Peaceful Amazing showers Clean toilets We cannot say enough nice things about this site. We want to keep it all to ourselves, but so much thought has gone into creating a haven, that it really needs to be appreciated. On arrival, Janey greeted us, and showed us to our pitch, offering advice on the best way to park for our pop top (it was very windy!!) - she then told us about all the facilities and where sunrise/sunset would be. The toilets, showers and kitchen area are so clean, and the shower in particular was amazing, with the sun shining through perspex roof to heat the area. Plenty of shower gel, conditioner and shampoo available in pump action bottles. There is a separate (and huge!) dog exercise field, which gave us somewhere to stroll with our dog before bedtime. Janey updates the weather board in the kitchen every day, so you don't have to look at an app! The pantry was well stocked too, although we didn't need anything, being able to pick fresh herbs would be really welcome. They have an arrangement with the neighbouring farm shop, who can deliver breakfast/bbq packs, such a clever idea. The views are spectacular and its so peaceful (except for when the neighbouring farm rounds up sheep with a quad bike with a horn!) - would definitely recommend.
