  • 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 well-maintained and clean site with spacious pitches and excellent facilities, including a popular restaurant. Staff are consistently praised for being friendly and helpful. Hot tub pitches are a highlight for many. Some visitors note that while the site is dog-friendly, more bins would be beneficial. Shower pressure and duration are occasionally mentioned as areas for improvement. Access to local amenities and coastal paths is generally good, though signage could be clearer for some routes.

Liked The grounds were immaculate and the site was beautiful,great toilets and shower facilities.
The bar/restaurant was fantastic and the staff were excellent.

Disliked The men's toilet in the main bar/restaurant could have been a lot bigger ,it's a tight squeeze when there's two people already in there .but there is a disabled toilet that's next door

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch

Liked The young staff in cafe were superb. Toilets and showers immaculate. Staff continually keeping the site organised and clean.
Lovely food and drink in cafe at good prices

Disliked Too many people on site with dogs. Barking, dogs getting loose was a nuisance.
If near the recycling area you can be woken early by collection lorry. Pitches very close together so expect noise from neighbours.

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 a 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.
