  • Clifftop site with stunning sea views out towards Cardigan Bay

  • Outdoor heated pool, playground and games lounge
What a beaut. And it's an award-winner too: carve out as much time as you can to stay at Morfa Bychan Holiday Park, on a Ceredigion clifftop overlooking stunning Cardigan Bay. As you'll see from the pics, spectacular sea views are all around here, so you can be basking among these Welsh coast views as soon as you arrive (barbecues are allowed for those who prefer to bask among coastal views while their other half preps the alfresco eats). Beach access is a cinch too, as famed seaside resort of Aberystwyth is within six miles, and the park has direct access to its own pebble beach for shore walks, fishing, boating, rockpooling and surfing. There's loads of room for kids to run around on the park and on the beach; should they inexplicably tire of this, take them along to Morfa's pirate ship play area to swashbuckle and swing. The heated outdoor summer pool and spacious grassy area alongside are other popular family spots, as is the games lounge with board and computer games, TV, pool tables and air hockey. The friendly team are on hand to help with whatever you might need, whether it's assistance in getting set up when you arrive or sharing their tips on the (many) top places to make for in the region. There's a stack of tourist info at the site reception to aid your decision-making further and give you something to read while your other half sorts out the coffee…

Dunc M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Osprey fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked The views were amazing.
The site was clean and tidy
playground had plenty for the kids to play on and keep them entertained.
Toilets cleaned regularly
Pool was lovely

Disliked Not the campsite or within their control, the beach is very rugged, more of a rugged coastline.
The games room is very dated, needs updating, possibly a table tennis, air hockey, and new pool cues. There was a TV to watch, but you needed to get to the sofa and watch together. No chill-out area for older kids.
The on-site shop closed at 5pm with no option to use a vending service.
Wi-Fi is not included in the price.
Dogs wandering around off the lead, running up to tents and aggressively barking at other site users.
Toilets, showers and washing facilities need modernising
Osprey pitch was rock-hard, even though we were told it was a tent pitch, it must have been a hard standing pitch before

From the manager: **Thank you for your feedback, Dunc M.!**

We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the views, cleanliness, and facilities like the playground and pool during your stay. We appreciate your positive comments about our efforts to maintain a tidy and family-friendly environment.

We apologize for the issues you encountered. The rugged coastline is indeed a natural feature beyond our control, but we understand it may not suit everyone's preferences. We're currently in the planning stages for new developments, including modernizing our washrooms and updating the games room. We have noted your suggestions for table tennis, air hockey, and new pool cues.

Regarding the on-site shop, our opening hours are from 8am until 6pm and Wi-Fi, is an optional extra as a lot of phone providers signal is reasonably good in most areas. We also regret the inconvenience caused by dogs off-lead had we been made aware at the time this could have been stopped immediately.

Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention. We are always trying to improve our methods and facilities and also our positive experience to all of our customers.

Best regards,
The Morfa Bychan Holiday Park Team

From the manager: Dear Stacy B.,

Thank you for your review and for choosing our Osprey fully-serviced grass pitch for your stay. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the warm welcome, great facilities, and stunning views.

However, we're surprised by the low score, especially since you didn't mention any specific dislikes. Could it be that the weather, which is unfortunately beyond our control, played a part in your experience? We always strive to provide the best possible stay, but sometimes external factors can impact the overall enjoyment.

We also encourage guests to thoroughly research their holiday destination to ensure it meets their expectations. We hope you'll consider visiting us again and give us another chance to provide you with an exceptional holiday experience.

Sunset Strip 2 bedroom static caravan (no pets)

Liked Can’t beat the view, it’s absolutely beautiful! We were fortunate enough to spot some dolphins early morning. The grounds itself are kept immaculate and the caravan was spotless. Arrived to extras such as tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits! Lovely little extras! We were also able to log into Netflix and Amazon prime which was perfect to chill out for a few hours after swimming in the onsite pool, which is also kept well maintained and is a really nice asset, my 7 year old really enjoyed the pool. We were able to buy a pool noodle but they also had inflatable balls and rubber rings etc, which were all reasonably priced in the small shop. The site is perfectly located in between Aberystwyth (15 min by car) and New Quay (40 mins). All I would say is, if visiting during hot days, it’s worth taking a fan!

Spotting dolphins must have been an incredible experience! 🐬 We're also pleased to hear that the pool and entertainment options were a hit with your family, especially your 7-year-old. It's great to know that you found the shop reasonably priced and well-stocked with fun items.

We appreciate your tip about bringing a fan for hot days – that's very helpful advice for future guests. We hope to welcome you back soon for another peaceful and enjoyable stay!

Peregrine fully-serviced gravel motorhome pitch (no awning)

Liked Overall a well maintained lively quiet site

Disliked They broke their own rule of no loud music, and no music at all at certain times by blasting the radio inside the toilet/shower block 24/7, felt like a club 18 to 30 definitely not what I needed 10 o’clock at night!!! or eight in the morning come to that. After managing peaceful rest or run the site to walk in there and have it ruined quite a shock definitely not why I expected.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, Sam, and for taking the time to share your experience. We're really glad to hear you found the site well maintained and appreciated the peaceful atmosphere overall.
We’re sorry to hear the music in the washroom facilities impacted your stay. The low-level music is intended to provide a bit of background sound for privacy and comfort, but we completely understand that it may not suit everyone — especially at quieter times of day. Your comments are really helpful, and we’ll review the volume and timing to ensure it better aligns with the relaxing environment we aim to offer.
We hope to welcome you back again in the future for a more restful experience.

Liked Fantastic view of coastline from the pitch, fab sunset. Outdoor swimming pool looked nice (sadly weren't there at the right times to use it).

Disliked Phone signal a bit iffy and wi-fi was payable. With a beautiful view comes exposure and it can get windy on the cliff-top!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you, Helen, for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the stunning coastline views and the fabulous sunsets from your pitch. 🌅

We regret that you weren't able to use the outdoor swimming pool during your stay. Our pool is open from 10am until 5pm, and we hope you'll have the opportunity to enjoy it next time.

We understand the challenges with phone signal and Wi-Fi. The signal can be inconsistent due to factors beyond our control, such as weather and our cliff-top location. We do offer optional Wi-Fi for those who need it.

We're glad you had a pleasant stay overall and look forward to welcoming you back in the future!

Local attractions

The Wales Coast Path runs through the park and is easily accessible via kissing gates. The path runs for a whopping 870 miles from Chepstow in the south to Queensferry in the north: potter the few miles to Aberystwyth and then – for the energetic – hike further for 10 miles on the linked Ceredigion Coast Path to its finishing point at Ynyslas. Aberystwyth, 15 minutes' drive away, has stacks to do in and out of peak season, including a harbour to wander around, the National Library of Wales and the Aberystwyth Arts Centre for indoor days, and a buzzing nightlife with pubs, gigs and eateries aplenty. The same distance in the other direction will land you at Llanrhystud, a popular spot in summer for beaches, watersports and fishing. Nature spotting and birdwatching are easily accessed in the area too, either under your own steam or via a dolphin and seal safari trip around Cardigan Bay. Ensure your marine mammal sightings – recommended if you possess fractious offspring – with a trip to the Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre at New Quay; boat trips can be booked from here too.
