  • Quiet Mid Wales coastal campsite overlooking spectacular Cardigan Bay
  • Walking distance to Mwnt Beach; Castell Henllys half an hour’s drive
  • Family site with a play park, animals to meet and a well-stocked shop
With sweeping views over Cardigan Bay – home of a well-known dolphin pod – peaceful, family-run Blaenwaun Caravan Park is set on an organic beef and arable farm 15 minutes’ drive north of Cardigan in Mid Wales. This quiet spot overlooks the gorgeous National Trust-owned Mwnt Beach, which can be reached via a bridleway from the site. This coastal caravan park is a great base for the whole family; there’s a fantastic play area on the edge of the camping field (so parents can keep an eye on their offspring from the pitches), and there’s masses of room for ball games, kite flying or riding bikes. As if that’s not enough, youngsters can feed pot-bellied pigs, Jemima the goat and Pippi the pony, while pet ducks have a free run of the place. Access the Ceredigion Coast Path from the site (bring any dogs with you for seaside walkies), and give alfresco cooking on the barbecue a go too. There’s a well-stocked shop on site, selling fresh bread, milk, free-range eggs and farm-produced organic beef, as well as gifts and camping essentials. To make life even easier, electric hook-ups are available, and you can use the basic kitchen equipment (microwave, kettle, fridge and toaster) in the laundry room. The facilities block has a disabled shower room and baby-changing facility too.

What customers say

This is a highly recommended, well-maintained campsite with stunning sea views and spectacular sunsets. Visitors praised the friendly and helpful owners, spacious and clean pitches, and excellent facilities, including a popular children's playground and a useful campers' kitchen. While showers were generally hot and clean, some noted issues with temperature control and a lack of cubicle space for dressing. The location is ideal for exploring the coast and nearby beaches, though some found the walk to the beach hilly.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The campsite was perfect. It's a smaller site with a play area in the middle for the children which was perfect because ewe could see them from our pitch. The facilities are everything you could think of. They have a kitchen with hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, large fridge.
They have laundry facilities.
The showers are lovely and warm and powerful.
There is a shop that is open morning and evening for anything you have forgot or if you want to buy something nice for the bbq.
The location is excellent! We walked down part of the coastal path to Mwnt beach.
The kids loved that the campsite had WiFi 😂

Disliked No fault of the site but the location is on top of the cliff over looking mwnt. Unfortunately on the day we pitched up the wind was so powerful it took us hours with the kids helping but sitting on the tent to hold it down 😂

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Everything. The campsite was clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen facilities were really handy, especially the fridge and washing machines. Toilets and showers were clean and well kept. The on-site shop was also a bonus, although there was no organic beef when we went in there. Beach is about a 15 minute walk from the site, beautiful scenery from where the site is situated. Play area is a god send and kept the kids entertained during the afternoon/ evening when we came back. There was just a generally nice atmosphere around the site as well. Everyone seemed happy and content.

Disliked Would’ve liked more of a selection in the shop

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely site, play area is great for the kids and the owners are really helpful.

We met some lovely families and lots of kids for the little ones to join in with games or play on the park in the evening. It’s not noisy at night so easy to get kids off to sleep.

Lovely beaches close by, a field opposite to fly kites or walk dogs.

We will return next summer holidays

No phone signal, was a plus for me as I needed a break but if your glued to it then EE just doesn’t work

Electric grass pitch

Liked Beautiful sea views. Spacious pitches. Hot showers and great camping kitchen fridge washing machine and dryer. Owners were lovely and made us feel so welcome. Beautiful costal walk 5 mins from the campsite where we saw the dolphins. And a secluded beach 15 mins walk away 5 mins by car. This was our first long distance (6.5hrs) camping trip and also our longest at 8 days 7 nights......worth every single moment there! Highly recommend. We can't wait to come back next year.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We loved the family atmosphere to the campsite. It was clean, and although the facilities are basic, they were perfect for our needs.
Having a play park on site was an amazing bonus.

Disliked Not as a criticism of the campsite, as there’s not a lot that they can do, but if arriving this summer, bring wasp spray, as the area is inundated with them.

Local attractions

Cardigan Bay is home to a myriad of marine wildlife. Migrating dolphins can often be seen offshore, and there are numerous boat trips departing St Dogmaels (15 minutes’ drive) to view harbour porpoises, Atlantic grey seals and the resident pod of bottled-nosed dolphins. Sporty types will fit right in here too. Golfers can make a beeline for the 18-hole championship course at Gwbert (10 minutes), and there are three other courses within about 20 minutes’ drive. Sailing aficionados can hire boats in Gwbert, and riders explore the countryside on horseback from the local equestrian centre (20 minutes). For a change of pace, learn about local history with a visit to the Benedictine monastery ruins in St Dogmaels, or have a nose around the mighty towers and ramparts of 13th-century Cilgerran Castle (20 minutes). Travel back in time to Castell Henllys (half an hour), a carefully reconstructed Iron Age settlement, and take a walk up to the prehistoric burial monument at Pentre lfan (half an hour).
