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.

Great site, clean and friendly
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked We arrived to a lovely welcoming, super friendly. The place is lovely. Weather was great too. Facilities were fab, lovely hot showers a they even had a kettle for when our gas ran out and we needed a much needed caffeine boost. We came as a family and our dog and had the best time. Mwnt beach is definitely worth a visit while there. We watched the sunset and saw dolphins jumping

Overall we were very pleased with this site and will return.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Small friendly site, good clean facilities, stunning views of the sea, felt safe with our two young boys, great family feel and kids made friends and played together which was nice. nice little on site park and a lovely beach nearby although I would advised driving if you have children or are carrying things, there is a carpark at the beach along with a shop and toilets. We were very pleased and definitely planning on coming back next year, we had a bit of rain at the start so with the forecast being really nice towards the end of our stay we asked if we could extend and we could which was great. Small onsite shop was handy but even so its only an 8min drive to the local aldi and bnm. Also loved the milkshake vending machine just up the road.
Disliked wasn't impressed with the animals, we went to see the pigs who greeted us and the boys loved them. Same with the horse, but was saddened by the horses small field, feel this could be better maintained better and a shelter added (unless of course its not its usual space).

From the manager: Thank you for you kind review. In answer to your comments about the animals. The four pigs have the freedom to roam from the smaller field into the large 6 acre field as and when they like, but tend to prefer the smaller padock during the summer months as they know that our campers visit them and feed them too. As you know they are very social creatures.
Pippi, our 24 year old New Forest pony has her own private indoor accomodation. If the weather is particularly wet or windy she stays in. She is fed fresh hay every morning when she is out in her smaller 1/4 acre padock as she cannot be turned out to the larger field as the grass here is too strong for her. She suffers from laminitis, a debiliatating illness, brought on by lush pasture, which can overload the digestive system.
Thank you for our concern,
Amazing site with good facilities and fantastic views. Kids loved it

Very friendly staff. We had a warm welcome and would return.
Electric grass pitch
Liked We really liked the location- only a few minutes drive to the beach. Definitely not a walk. The little park was great for the kids to socialise and we could always see them from our pitch. All tent pitches had great visibility of the play park.
They provide a fridge , kettle , toaster and cooker hob in the kitchen which was very helpful for morning teas and windy days.
Disliked Silicone in the shower could do with a refresh. Water to the showers were very hot, unable to change temperature. The disabled showers/ family room showers were able to be adjusted though.

This was a perfect campsite for my family .
Electric grass pitch
Liked Everything ! Perfect sized campsite with good sized pitches .
The kids loved having freedom to roam around the campsite and make new friends on the park . The owner was absolutely lovely and happy to help with anything we needed .
We all loved taking the veg and fruit scraps to the animals each day .
I really liked there being kitchen facilities like the hob , fridge and toaster . It made cooking easier when it became a bit too windy for my rubbish camping stove .
We found the locals and campsite regulars were very friendly and gave good advice for places to crab, fish and go with the kids . We will definitely be coming back to this campsite .
Disliked Having to leave , as I had to go back to work .
My son was sad we couldn’t bring a goat or his favourite pig home.
My partner said the men’s toilets could have done with an extra toilet.

Electric grass pitch
Liked The kids ,my husband and myself had an amazing week. It’s in the middle of nowhere but on takes a short walk or drive. The washing facilities were cleaned all the time. The view from the tent was beautiful looking over the sea. The week was just perfect
Disliked I can’t honestly find anything other than the on site shop but that’s just what it is. Maybe open a bit longer but it is run by the owners.

A wonderful campsite which we would definitely return to & recommend!
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The set up of the site is perfect, tents spaced out nicely with the children’s adventure playground in easy sight.
The showers were always spotlessly clean and the perfect temperature, we never had to queue. The kitchen area was also spotlessly clean and available whenever we needed it.
Our children loved visiting the animals every day, they stroked the goats and horse which were lovely and calm and friendly.
The location is amazing, with a beautiful walk down the the beach, wonderful views of the sea and easy to drive into Cardigan or to other beaches.
Disliked The caravans spoil the view a bit!

Excellent site with clean facilities, a warm welcome, peace and quiet!
Electric grass pitch
Liked Really friendly campsite - greeted quickly on arrival by the owner who explained where all the facilities were and walked us to our pitch.
Useful little shop - open twice a day for an hour but well stocked with essentials.
Quiet and calm campsite with no noise after 10pm. Great park for the children which my 8 year old spent every possible minute playing at!
Clean and tidy toilet and shower block which was cleaned regularly and well looked after. Light sensors a bit short timed though, as went dark twice whilst I was showering!! Showers hot and lovely!
Great location - Easily accessible to lots of coastal towns and villages, plus Cardigan etc. Not far from Aberystwyth.
Disliked Nothing really!

Lovely large pitches and flat. Nice playground and free WiFi
Electric grass pitch
Liked Location and views are stunning. Nice flat large pitches with good playground and free WiFi. Campsite kept very clean and very small convenient shop onsite which is good. Freezer, fridge, kettle, washing machines, tumble dryers and jobs on the kitchen available to use.
Disliked Shower/toilet facilities are not the best. 3 toilets in the ladies and one doesnt lock so when it got to the weekend 2 toilets for a lot of people was a not enough.
Showers cubicles are like swimming pool ones so to get dressed after without getting clothers wet is impossible. One family/disabled wet room which is much better space wise.
Stayed for 5 nights and didn’t see a food cart like others did.
