  • Small, friendly family-run Ceredigion site two miles from Aberaeron
  • A 10-minute drive to New Quay; walk to the Ceredigion Coast Path
  • Sea views and stunning sunsets on site; dogs and kids welcome
Sea views, stunning sunsets, stacks of space and a splendidly relaxed vibe… what more could you want from a Ceredigion campsite? (If the answer’s ‘somewhere we can take the dogs and kids’, then you’ll be pleased to hear they’re both most welcome here.) Garth View is a place that’s got all of the above – this small family-run site looks out over a lovely valley with the sea in the distance, and it prides itself on offering a warm Welsh welcome to its guests. It’s a no-fuss setup here, favouring simple pleasures over lots of facilities, but it's possible to hire firepits and freeze ice packs and you'll have access to a converted container that houses two bathrooms (including hot-water showers, sinks and toilets), as well as two single toilets and separate washing area. The location here is a real winner too: Garth View is easily accessed from the A487, and it’s within walking distance of the Ceredigion Coast Path. The harbour town of Aberaeron, only two miles away, has plenty of places to eat. A 200-year-old pub which is dog-friendly and serves homecooked food is a 10-minute walk away too. The Moody Calf Play Barn, a venue with a play barn, farm shop, bistro, trampoline, foam pit and events venue is a 20-minute walk away. If you'd rather self cater, a couple of convenience stores are about five minutes’ walk away. The local launderette is a 10-minute walk away. Lots of the best-loved spots along the West Wales coast are within easy reach for days out: it’s a 10-minute drive to New Quay for wildlife-spotting boat trips or half an hour to Cardigan, a hub for watersports and other outdoorsy activities. The beaches of Llangrannog and Tresaith are about 20 minutes away, or you can venture a little further to Aberporth (25 minutes) or Mwnt (35 minutes). For a bigger town, head north to Aberystwyth in just over half an hour.

Emily B.

Irma camping pod

Liked Lovely quiet site, facilities much better than expected for a basic campsite. The camping pod was in fabulous condition, and the beds comfortable. The lady on the site was super helpful and there were fridges/freezers, a kettle and a microwave in a hut for communal use, as well as toilets and showers which were clean and very well maintained. There was a sink for washing dishes as well as a drinking water tap and clear instructions for the bins/recycling.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I am delighted to hear you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and found the facilities exceeded expectations. It's great to know the camping pod was comfortable and that the communal amenities made your stay even more convenient. Hope to see you again. Kind regards Giovanna

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely, relaxed site with a very welcoming and accommodating owner—especially helpful with our last-minute request for shade. Facilities were excellent: clean, spacious bathrooms and the added bonus of a full-size fridge and freezer, which were a lifesaver during the heatwave. Handy local info booklets & OS Map were available, and both a Morrisons Daily (5 mins) and a friendly pub (10 mins) were within walking distance. Great access to the coast path for stunning walks.
Watching the Red Kites in the tree above us & also the sunset over the sea each evening from our van was unforgettable. Highly recommend!
Thank you x

Irma camping pod

Liked Cabin was super cozy, warm and clean. Even when it was raining and windy both me and my partner had a really peaceful nights sleep. The toilets and showers were really lovely as well. It was very easy to contact Giovanna when needed and I got a quick response and she was lovely! Could not recommend more and will definitely be returning. The firepit was one of our favourites parts with the ability to purchase wood, firefighters, kindling etc on site was also a wonderful feature if needed.

Irma camping pod

Liked Owners reached out before our stay and gave us an update, Quite site, with all amenities we'll maintained, really clean modern shower and toilets. Didn't use them however lots of fridges free to use as well as microwave and kettle. It was nice to get into the pod after a 6 hour motorbike ride in the hammering wind.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Beautiful kept site . Facilities are well looked after and very clean . We were welcomed by the owner and her son with a very friendly and warm attitude . Nothing was too much trouble . Well informed outhouse with local information . This site will go far and should be a winner to all who stay . Lucky enough to experience the amazing sunsets . Great base to explore mid Wales coast.
We hope to visit again in the future .

You can also get there with a ride on the Vale of Rheidol Railway (half an hour). Damp days? Meet local creatures at Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre (10 minutes), surround yourselves with engines of all sorts at the Internal Fire Museum of Power (20 minutes) or take a trip underground at Silver Mountain Experience (50 minutes).
