  • Quiet site two miles from Penbryn beach
  • Ten-minute drive from the Wales Coastal Path
  • Pitches with views of the sea
Want to feel the sand between your toes without finding it in every nook and cranny later on? Brynawelon Caravan and Camping Park, half a mile from the village of Sarnau in west Wales, is the best of both worlds. While away the day on Penbryn beach, two miles away, then return to the blessedly sand-free site. Brynawelon is well placed for exploring the Ceridigion countryside and the Welsh coast: walkers can join the Wales Coastal Path, which passes Penbryn beach and spans the length of the Ceridigion coastline and beyond, or follow trails and loops around Cardigan, 20 minutes' drive away. For a more urban experience, stop off in the town of Cardigan where there's plenty to do, like visiting the medieval Cilgerran Castle or shopping at the Guildhall Market. When you want to spend time on the sand, Penbryn isn’t your only option – Aberport, Tresaith and Llangranog beaches are all within 10 minutes’ drive, and are top spots for swimming and surfing. Brynawelon is in a quiet coastal area, but you don’t have to feel stranded. In Sarnau, less than 10 minutes’ walk from the site, you can stock up on camping gear at the army surplus store or call in to the farm shop to pick up some Welsh delicacies. For any other essentials, a quick trip to Brynhoffnant village one mile away should take care of everything.

What customers say

This is a consistently praised campsite with an emphasis on exceptional cleanliness and friendly, helpful owners. Pitches are generally large, level, and well-maintained. Facilities, including showers and toilets, are repeatedly described as spotless. Guests appreciate the quiet atmosphere, lovely views, and convenient location for exploring the local area and coastal path. Additional amenities like a borrow shop for books and games are a popular touch. Some minor points raised include a lack of WiFi and a metered electricity system, with one mention of occasional cold showers later in the evening.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Toilets clean, bright sweet smelling with private booths with wc basin and shower. Spacious pitches with gravel underneath and well kept grass on both sides. A warm welcome from manager/owner. Prompt attendance at check in and when left.
Views of Cardigan bay from the higher level pitches and hedge to keep the worst of the gale away. Open most of the year but closed January

Disliked Would have liked a single occupancy discount as some hotels offer, or non electric slightly cheaper pitch

Local attractions

If you want history with a twist, pay a visit to one of the unusual museums in the area. At the Internal Fire museum, less than five minutes away by car, see one of the oldest working diesel engines in the world. Follow the flock to the National Wool Museum and see the story of wool from fleece to fabric or embrace your inner child at the Museum of Childhood, both 20 minutes from Brynawelon. Experience a statelier time and take in the views of the Ceridigion countryside with a trip on one of the steam trains at Gwili Railway, Teifi Valley Railway or the Vale of Rheidol Railway, all within 45 minutes of the site. When the kids get tired of steam trains and toys (how could they, you ask…), bring them to Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park, where they can get up close with friendly farm animals and try to spot dolphins, seals and skylarks in the nature reserve. For an even sweeter experience, buzz on over to the Honey Farm in New Quay – 10 miles from Brynawelon – where you can visit the meadery, see the bees at work and have a seat in the tearoom to taste the end result. Buy honey, mead and beeswax products in the farm shop before you leave.
