  • Peaceful coastal campsite with a private path down to the beach
  • New Quay and Aberaeron 10 minutes' drive; Cardigan 30 minutes
  • Sea views on site; dog-friendly pitches
Carreg y Gwynt Caravan and Camping is a peaceful coastal site in Ceredigion with far-reaching views over the sea and a private path down to the nearest beach. Just a few minutes' stroll from Cei Bach beach near Llanarth, this spot is sandwiched between the popular seaside resorts of New Quay and Aberaeron, both of which can be reached within a 10-minute journey by road. This site is located on a working farm, with spacious, flat and level pitches in a green and grassy field. Carreg y Gwynt Caravan and Camping is, on the whole, geared towards families, meaning large groups and people wanting to hold parties will need to look elsewhere. Facilities include drinking water, recycling bins, chemical waste disposal and two toilets, but please note that this site has no on-site shower facilities. There is also a stainless steel sink and a double drainer for washing up dishes (it has cold water and no shelter). After exploring the cove at Cei Bach, you can head out directly from site for adventures further afield along the Ceredigion Coast Path. That's all welcome news for fans of cross-country walking, and even better news for any dogs you're planning to bring along for a stay in this spectacular part of Mid Wales.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Friendly farm owner on hand if there were any problems. Large field.

Disliked: Constant noise from wind turbine and large herd of cows in neighbouring field. Basic facilities - toilet (2) and sink with cold running water. Quite a steep walk to nearest beach - could be a problem for small children or unfit / unsteady adults. Site could have been more clearly signposted.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Sea view. Friendly farmer. Pitch where you like. Drinking water tap. Quiet site. Not lots of rules, can play music etc.

Disliked: Very muddy. Walk to beach was a very muddy path and down a steep hill, we only made it half way and decided it wouldn't have been worth the trek back up! Cows so annoying in the morning. Facilities aren't great. Open field so windy. Nettles in the grass we got stung a few times so need decent shoes at all times.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Beautiful location with wonderful views of the sea and countryside we loved watching the cows in the adjacent feild. Very steep walk down to the nearest beach but worth the walk. The location is remote but very beautiful and if you enjoy walking then this place is perfect. 10 minute drive to New Quay seafront and 20 minute drive to Aberaeron seafront, both equally lovely places to visit.

Liked: Amazing friendly host couple Peace of the site Venue location on farm Location to travel Walk to the beach Access to water, grey and black water disposal. Rubbish.
