  • 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.

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch (large)

Liked Great little site. Lovely facilities. Plenty of toilets and showers with no queues.

Nice bar/restaurant on site and lots for the kids to do with a trampoline park, play barn and an outdoor park. Plenty of space on the pitch itself.

Staff all friendly and they showed you to your pitch.

Amy S.

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch (hot tub)

Liked The campsite is lovely, its got everything you need especially if you have kids from soft play, park trampoline places. The restaurant was amazing and the serves was really good! The bathroom even had a little step for children. Hot tub is ace! Just get in and enjoy in a private hut. Each pitch has its own drinking water tap

Disliked Showers & pitching a tent on hard standing even though each pitch has grass!
Showers are one temperature which is way too hot! , you can't adjust the height so unless your 7ft wouldnt bother. They are not suitable to shower a child in way too hot and can't move the shower to wash a tiny person. So trying to hold a child in the shower to wash their hair OH AND to hold the button in for the water isn't possible!! This is the only fault I had, having a hot tub yoy want to be able to wash after and that just wasnt relaxing to do.

ROB B.

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch (large)

Liked Great site well laid out and very tidy. Pitch prices very good for the time of year. Level pitch with all services close at hand. Clean and well maintained toilets and shower block. Nice farm shop, if a bit basic, needs more essentials. Good bar and bistro that was competitively priced. Good selection of low alcohol drinks. Didn't purchase food but from what we observed it looked very nice and well presented.

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.
