Our Shepherd's hut for those who prefer a little more luxury than a tent (added by manager 27 Feb 2023)

Our shepherd's hut for those who prefer a little more luxury than a tent

Peaceful, off-grid camping meadow in the Ceredigion countryside
Aberaeron Beach 35 minutes’ drive; New Quay Honey Farm 40 minutes
Dark-skies site with great stargazing; eggs for sale on site

Yearning for an off-grid family camping adventure? One tucked under ancient oak trees in a dark-skies area – and within half an hour’s drive of the beach? You might have hit the jackpot with a stay at Wild Welsh Camping, a peaceful Ceredigion retreat on a wildflower camping meadow with spectacular views of the surrounding landscapes. A small number of mown grass pitches are scattered across the field – with ample room for two small tents if required – and while firepits and barbecues are permitted, they must be off the ground. Simple facilities include a wooden shower block powered by solar lighting, three composting toilets and a drinking water tap. You can buy free-range eggs for a breakfast fry up from the site owners, and essential supplies can be acquired from the local shop and café (two minutes’ drive/15 minutes' walk) in Llanfair. For major shopping trips, Lampeter (15 minutes) is your best bet. As there is no electricity on site, bring torches and spare batteries with you – and of course it’s thanks to the lack of light pollution in the area that you stand a decent chance of watching the Milky Way dance across the sky on cloudless nights.

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Wild Welsh Camping offers a beautiful portrait of the Welsh country side. The Shepard’s hut was well equipped with a single hob, cast iron heater/oven and cookware. The bed was comfortable and plenty warm. Outside had a bbq, seating area and fire pit. The host made us feel welcomed and supplied us with fire wood for the fire pit. I enjoyed using the compost toilets and the solar showers were very warm & clean, and not a far walk from the camp site. We will definitely return to this location in the future.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Very secluded camping pitches hidden in a meadow Good clean showers and composting toilets Remote, quiet location with dark skies Adjacent to a cycle route

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Fantastic peaceful site. Plenty of space and long grass between pitches. Clean facilities and excellent showers. Right on the NCN82 route so great for cycle tourists. Free range eggs usually available.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Excellent quiet little site, very well maintained, washrooms are very clean, showers are nice and hot. The pitches are well spaced out so even at busy times you can be assured of plenty of space. Hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Local attractions

Travelling with the kids? Do something different and go panning for gold at National Trust - Dolaucothi (20 minutes’ drive), on the site of a former ancient Roman gold mine, or watch the bees making honey in industrial quantities at New Quay Honey Farm (40 minutes). Younger offspring will most likely be happy to meet and feed the ponies, goats and alpacas at Fantasy Farm Park (35 minutes). If you’re all content pottering about on foot, take to the forest paths at Longwood Community Woodland (five minutes), or combine a circumnavigation of the lake at Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest Visitor Centre (50 minutes) with feeding red kites and honing your skills on mountain-biking trails. Perhaps the coast is calling? Cardigan Bay has many sandy spots, so you’ll surely find something to please everybody. There are frequent sightings of dolphins and porpoises in the waters off New Quay (45 minutes), and you can sail or swim off the town’s Harbour Beach. Backed by brightly painted cottages, Aberaeron Beach (35 minutes) is the choice for bodyboarders and surfers.
