  • Next to Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park: free entry for site guests
  • On a scenic headland with sea views, 10 minutes' drive from Mwnt beach
  • Adventure playground, visitor centre, café and animals to meet
If you'd like to go nature spotting in Wales, consider Cardigan Bay and the nature reserve Cardigan Island. And if you'd like to stay in the Cardigan Island vicinity, go to Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park, a site adjacent to the popular and family-run farm park of the same name, set on a scenic headland with views of Cardigan Island and the dolphins below. Cardigan Island, 200 yards offshore and visible from the site, has thousands of nesting seabirds to see, a flock of wild Soay sheep (originally from the Scottish Isle of Soay, south of Skye) and a colony of grey Atlantic seals breeding in the many caves below the farm park cliffs (you should be able to see them every day of your stay – a real treat for the kids). The bay's bottlenose dolphins also frequent these waters, particularly on calm days when they swim closer to the shore and can be seen from the farm park. On site, there's a variety of friendly animals to meet including pigs, sheep, goats, rare-breed cattle, ponies, chickens, rabbits, ducks, geese and a donkey, and a llama, emu and wallaby representing non-natives. There's also an adventure playground and sandpit for the kids, and a large visitor centre (open daily from 10am to 6pm) with a café, gift shop and plenty of play equipment. The campsite part of the park is on a gentle slope with spectacular views over the farm park and out to sea, and has showers, toilets and dishwashing facilities on site. Other toilets and a baby changing area are in the visitor centre when it's open. And yet another cracking thing about staying at this Cardigan Island campsite? Entrance to the farm park is free for guests.

Liked Playground access
Quiet
Surrounded by nature, loads of wildlife to see

Disliked - Mens toilet flooded entire time were there
-The shower was small and the water temperature fluctuates from boiling to freezing. One of the men's showers was just cold, which is annoying when you're paying 50p a go.
- Farm park had lovely views, but there were very few animals.
- Bins were overflowing for the duration of the visit.
- Campground in a beautiful location, but the view was blighted by derelict buildings and the building built for the farm park.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Everything, totally blown away by the views geese flying over was a perfect addition with plenty of wildlife to keep you looking around in amazement. The toilets, shower and washing up room were sparkling clean. Pride is taken on this campsite and you could definitely tell. The access to the family run farm was a huge bonus and an amazing day out. Myself and my wife had a wonderful day petting animals and watching the seals. Honestly wished we'd of stayed longer.

Disliked Have to pay for showers 50p for 7.5mins however I will say they make you aware from the start and do offer change. This is a minor tiny dislike because the rest of the campsite was amazing

Liked Great view on the bay. Close to the beautiful Welsh costal path. Very friendly staff. Spotting seals and dolphins every day. Many birds. Fantastic sunset.

Disliked The washing facilities are poor. We did not like the drinking water.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Loved how it's overlooking the sea, the farm onsite and that's it's included.
Ice pack and freezer available to use.
It's quiet, electric pitches.
The playground is fantastic, quite large. Cafe/shop has WiFi. Lovely things in the shop.

Disliked Only having 2 toilets and 2 showers per gender, sometimes in mornings toilets gets full.
Hot water needs heating up 10 mins before use, especially in summer when it's busy is hard as being used all time, so hardly any left.

Basic facilities, brilliant sea views — would go back in a heartbeat.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We stayed here with a close friend and the pitch we had was honestly brilliant — proper sea and coastal views right from the tent, which set the tone for the whole trip. There’s something really special about waking up to that view with your morning coffee. One evening we took a walk down through the animal pens once the park had closed for the day, and stood looking out over the cliffs as the sun set — a proper highlight of the whole trip and not something you get at your average campsite. The site has a lovely peaceful, relaxed feel to it, and it’s easy to see why it’s such a popular spot for people who want a genuine countryside-meets-coast escape rather than a big commercial campsite experience. The location itself does a lot of the heavy lifting — it feels properly away from it all while still being easy to get to, and it’s a great base if you want to explore the surrounding area too. We’d happily book the same pitch again.

Disliked The facilities are basic — showers and toilets do the job, nothing more, nothing less. They were kept clean throughout our stay, which we really appreciated, but if you’re after modern, hotel-style camping facilities this isn’t going to be the site for you. Honestly, it didn’t bother us in the slightest. We knew what we were signing up for, and the trade-off is more than worth it. If you can look past that and you’re coming for the location and the views, you won’t be disappointed.

Lisa H. 1 review

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Fantastic hidden little place with lots to offer everyone. Site is clean and well maintained, the showering and toilet block is dated but perfectly serviceable, although my husband did have some problems getting hot water. Come prepared with plenty of 50p pieces as this is the only coin accepted in the showering block. The costal farm with free access to those staying on site, is a great addition for those with kids, mine are 11, 10 and 6 and they all loved the place. A lovely cafe on site with great views and a great little gift shop. We were very lucky with the weather and spent lots of time outside watching the wildlife, it was a real treat to see the seals. A 10 minute drive took us to Mwnt beach, a little picture perfect sandy cove. We stayed here all afternoon, with the kids playing in the clear blue waters. It was here that the Dolphins stopped by to entertain us, was beautiful to watch.
Only 10 minutes from the site you will find all the usual shops - Aldi, Tesco, Home bargains, B&M etc.
All in all a great site and one the kids are already asking when we will be visiting again. Thank you Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park for a great stay!

Disliked Nothing, we had a great time.

Liked Beautiful views from the campsite, a large farm and a playground where you can spend time. Very friendly and nice service.

Disliked The only downside was the cleanliness of the bathrooms and showers. They should be cleaned more often. Unfortunately, people don't clean up after themselves.

Local attractions

Several cracking family-friendly beaches are in the area: after you've explored the farm park, have days at Mwnt (and the Church of the Holy Cross), Aberporth, Tresaith, Penbryn, Llangrannog, Newquay and Poppit Sands, all within easy driving distance. Shoppers, pubbers and restaurant goers have plenty of picks in Cardigan town (10 minutes' drive) as well as a golf club, swimming pool, the Theatre Mwldan and the Custom House shop and gallery. For something more strenuous, both the Ceredigion Coast Path and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path are accessible from Cardigan. Cardigan Bay stayers could also check out some Welsh history at St Dogmaels Abbey, Cilgerran Castle and the National Wool Museum, splash around Cenarth Falls and the National Coracle Centre, and see yet more animals at the Welsh Wildlife Centre, with its nature trails, willow maze, water buffalo and giant willow badger.
