  • Small campsite with spectacular views over Cardigan Bay in Ceredigion
  • Welsh Wildlife Centre and National Wool Museum 25 minutes’ drive
  • Back-to-basics, off-grid pitches; pubs and beaches 20 minutes’ walk
Very true to its name, Aberporth Sea View Camping does indeed have captivating views over the sea – the Irish Sea in fact – from its setting in a hilltop camping meadow. Tucked in between the seaside villages of Aberporth and Tresaith (both five minutes’ drive) overlooking Cardigan Bay, the sea views are quite simply spectacular from all vantage points across the site. Frills may be few at this tiny Ceredigion campsite (there are only a handful of pitches, and they are all off-grid), but frankly who cares when two beaches are within 20 minutes’ walk, and there are farm parks within half an hour’s drive to keep the kids happy? It’s also a handy overnighting spot for long-distance walkers ‘doing’ scenic coastline rambles along the Ceredigion Coast Path, which runs just below the camping field. For safety reasons campfires are not allowed at the pitches here, but barbecues are welcome. You can pick up barbecue bits and bobs in the convenience store in Aberporth, or dodge cooking altogether and find your favourite among the village’s pubs and takeaways.

What customers say

This campsite offers beautiful sea views and a peaceful rural setting, praised for its cleanliness and proximity to coastal paths and beaches like Aberporth and Tresaith. Visitors appreciated the simple, clean facilities, including hot showers and toilets, and the flexibility to choose their own pitch. While the site is generally well-regarded for its value and location, some noted the sloping pitches, the need for levellers, and a desire for improved signage and more hooks in the shower cubicles. Despite minor points, many expressed a desire to return.

Local attractions

Beaches calling? Exercise any dogs travelling with you at Dolwen Beach (five minutes’ drive), which is canine-friendly all year, go dinghy sailing from Tresaith beach (15 minutes’ walk), and sunbathe or kayak from the fine sandy stretch at Aberporth (20 minutes). Further north, head to Aberaeron’s shingle South Beach (half an hour’s drive) to see if you can spot the famed dolphin pod that lives in Cardigan Bay. Take the kids to see the giant animals sculptures at the Welsh Wildlife Centre (25 minutes), and befriend the llamas and donkeys at Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park (20 minutes). Any steam fiends among you might like to inspect combustion engines at the Internal Fire Museum of Power (10 minutes), or you can hear all about the former Welsh textile industry with tours of the National Wool Museum (25 minutes) in a converted mill. Time-travel back to prehistoric times with trips up to Pembrokeshire’s mighty standing stones at Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber (35 minutes), see the gaunt Waun Mawn Standing Stones (half an hour) at sunset, or explore the recreated Iron Age roundhouse settlement at Castell Henllys Iron Age Village (25 minutes).
