  • Small rural site on an 11-acre farm, half a mile from Dihewyd
  • Motorbiker friendly and specialist groups welcome
  • A 15-minute drive from the coast at Aberaeron and Cardigan Bay
Motorbikers – Maesymeillion Farm is the place for you. As it is for mountain bikers, hardy hikers, birdwatchers, horse riders, fell runners, swimmers and adventure seekers… as the friendly team point out, the farm is very much an excellent base for outdoor adventures of all sorts. After a slower pace of life? No problem. More placid pursuits are easily pursued too, as Maesymeillion Farm is in prime position for dolphin spotting and beach days around the Cardigan coast: the seaside town of Aberaeron and the wildlife haven of Cardigan Bay are 15 minutes’ drive away. And for those guests who like hols to be so laidback as to be almost horizontal, even more placid times are easily had on site, as this is a top stargazing spot too and in a setting of spectacular views across land and sea. The farm welcomes everyone from solo travellers to families to motorbike groups – and dogs. It’s a peaceful place to come back to after a day out and about, set rurally in a quiet area on 11 acres of land at 1,000 feet above sea level. Although it’s lushly remote, the farm has easy access to main roads and is only half a mile from its local village of Dihewyd; Lampeter is 20 minutes’ drive away. Amenities on site include showers, toilets, disabled facilities, a washing-up area, chemical disposal and free wifi. Barbecues and campfires are allowed.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked The site was very idyllic and ideal for our single night stay whilst traveling down the coast. We came with a self contained camper, but the site has all the facilities you'd need as a camper. Highly recommend this campsite as it deserves more visitors in my opinion.

Brian N.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch (large)

Liked What more can you ask from a campsite , right from the start was met by a great guy called Mike and he shown me around the site and it was late when we arrived and very dark , the owner Chris had left us instructions about the whole site and how to find everything . The kitchen , toilet and shower facilitities you cannot fault , clean and spotless . The kitchen had everything as in pots and pans and everything you could need and had games and a TV too . When we got too the site on the first night Mike wanted to help us with landrover lights but because it being camping we wanted to do it ourselves , because we got there late we set up the tent up wrong and it let and Chris the owner was brilliant and gave us loads of towels to dry the tent and if we needed anymore help we could knock on her door anytime , Chris was always there throughout the stay asking do we need help or need anything and and could not be helpful enough , so thank you Chris and thank you for this amazing week just a shame about the weather but thank you

Electric optional grass tent pitch (medium)

Liked The campsite was very welcoming and the lovely owner gave us a tour of the facility’s. I could ask for anything more when visiting a camp site. Even our neighbors were ever welcoming and they blew up our bed as our pump was not working.
