  • Quiet family-friendly campsite 10 minutes’ drive from Cardigan Bay
  • Direct access to Wales Coast Path; Cei Bach Beach 10 minutes’ drive
  • Dogs welcome; licensed bistro, farm shop and a play barn on site
Sitting between the seaside towns of Aberaeron and New Quay, Moody Meadows is a family-run site 10 minutes’ drive from spectacular Cardigan Bay in Ceredigion. And not only is it family-run, it’s also very family-friendly, with a whole host of facilities to make life easy on site. These include a farm shop for topping up on supplies, a licensed bistro for those days when you can’t be bothered to spark up the barbecue and a play barn to keep kids safely occupied. The level, tree-lined pitches are all fully serviced with a lawned area for sitting out. Thoughtful additions in the shower block (it has disabled facilities) include hair dryers and a laundrette, and should you be bringing dogs with you, there’s also a dedicated dog wash area for cleaning muddy paws. With easy access off the A487, this quiet site is a convenient base for exploring Ceredigion, its beaches, historic sites and wildlife – watch out for red kites inland and dolphins in Cardigan Bay. A footpath leads from the site to the village of Llwyncelyn (10 minutes’ stroll), and a short walk from there takes you onto the scenic Wales Coast Path… You won’t need a car to explore the area, but a good pair of walking boots is essential.

What customers say

This is a highly-rated, well-maintained site with exceptionally clean facilities, spacious pitches, and excellent on-site dining at reasonable prices. Many guests praise the friendly staff and the overall peaceful atmosphere. Hot tub pitches are a popular luxury addition. Minor issues include occasional Wi-Fi unreliability and some confusion with signage. While many find it a perfect getaway, some note that certain pitches may require extra tent pegs due to hard standing.

Lucy C.

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch (large)

Liked Everything, there was nothing not to like.

Friendly staff, excellent amenities.

The toilet blocks were very clean.

The club house was busy, staff were very helpful and friendly.

I didn’t book but had a meal to take out, absolutely delicious.

The pitch was very neat, tidy and a lovely size. It had electric, drinking water and grey water waste on pitch site. Very reasonably priced too.

Will definitely visit again, next time I will treat myself to a hot tub pitch.

Johanna T.

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch

Liked Good site and location, staff friendly and helpful, lovely onsite bistro, spacious and clean toilets/showers, and decent sized pitches

Disliked Showers themselves not great, you have to keep your hand on the button constantly for running water. Not a fan of the hard pitches either, even with an extra protective groundsheet underneath our (brand new) tent, there is still a small hole worn out of the base.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Excellent find, definitely making a return visit

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch

Liked Everything, the site was well run and very well maintained.

Disliked The showers could do will a little more time, as they were hand push in operated and the time between pushes could be a little better to allow a better shower experience.

Local attractions

Take forays along the Wales Coast Path (direct access from the site), or pack a picnic and march the family down to sand-and-shingle Cei Bach Beach (50 minutes’ stroll/10 minutes’ drive) to see if you can spot dolphins playing in the waves. If the kids catch the wildlife bug, take them to see the birds of prey and butterfly house at the National Botanic Garden of Wales (55 minutes’ drive), where they can also encounter giant animal sculptures on lakeside walks. Learn more about the history of this corner of Ceredigion with a visit to the National Wool Museum (25 minutes), housed in an historic mill packed with original spinning looms; there are entertaining craft workshops for families. Fans of the combustion engine can see 19th-century machines in motion at The Internal Fire Museum of Power (20 minutes), giving an insight into the development of steam power. Staying with the heritage theme, tour the handsome John Nash-designed villa and lakeside gardens at National Trust - Llanerchaeron (10 minutes). If your offspring need an antidote to all that history, the crescent-shaped sandy beach at New Quay (10 minutes’ drive) has rock pools for crabbing and is backed by ice cream stalls and cafés.
