  • 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, Bargoed Farm 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.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch (large)

Liked: Site was nice and clean

Disliked: Extortionate prices on everything
Charged extra £17.50 per person to see the show on Saturday night which was supposed to be from 7pm til 12
However didn’t start till 8pm was finished and gone by 10.30 pm
Definitely needs more entertainment
Probably suited to the retired as dead boring

Emma H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch (hot tub)

Liked: We had a hot tub pitch and it was amazing, real luxury touch after a day exploring. Good size pitches, good space between motor homes / caravans.

Disliked: The washroom facilities are fantastic but only cleaned once a day, not really enough for a site of size. Hence 4 not 5 star.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch (hot tub)

Liked: How clean everything was and how much room there was, we booked a hot tub pitch and wow we had the best 4 days. Staff came to check hot tub twice a day and made sure it was clean and safe. Highly recommend and a must for families. Food was also lovely and the farm shop was handy and well stocked.

Disliked: Nothing really maybe a curtain on the hot tub area as we were on the end pitch and road can get busy.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch (large)

Liked: Excellent site with super clean facilities and a fantastic restaurant on site. Very friendly and helpful staff and loved the fact they offered hot tub options-will deffo book that next time

Disliked: Only disadvantage was if u haven’t brought sufficient padding / bedding for your tent the gravel hard standing pitches could be a bit hard but we were in a van so not a problem for us. A few friends in a tent thought they should have brought more padding as the gravel was a bit lumpy

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.
