  • 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 campsite with spacious, clean pitches and excellent facilities. Visitors frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, the well-maintained grounds, and the quality of food at the on-site restaurant. Hot tub pitches are a popular feature. While generally quiet and peaceful, some mention occasional noise from events or children. Minor issues with Wi-Fi and shower pressure have been noted, but these do not detract significantly from the overall positive experience, with many visitors stating they will return.

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch (large)

Liked Clean facilities

Disliked Not allowed to pitch anything on the grass. We were basically forced to buy over-priced rock pegs to pitch our very small pop-up pods. The rock pegs turned out to be completely useless in the hard standing area.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Great stay.

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch

Liked The privacy of the standard pitches, with lots of shielding greenery and with our own tap and grey waste. The facilities were clean and nearby and it was only a short walk to the shop and restaurant. The Site Warden was really helpful and friendly as it was our time in our new campervan and he made us feel relaxed. Overall, it was a very quiet site and very good value for money

Disliked Just a small thing - it was a good 15 min bus journey into Aberaeron

 Ellis K. 1 review

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch (hot tub)

Liked We stayed in the hot tub pitch, no12 it was lovely - very clean and well looked maintained
The whole thing is very well set up
We didn’t go to the restaurant the neighbours who did said it was lovely
Shower/toilet blocks immaculate
Easy to find, situated within 10 minutes of New Quay
Staff were helpful and pleasant

Disliked We couldn’t put the awning on the grass, only the hard standing which is solid so needs a proper hammer for the pegs
The pod at the side of us did have an awning on the grass but weren’t told to move it, we didn’t chance ours

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.
