  • Wildlife haven in the peaceful Ceredigion countryside
  • A 15-minute drive from New Quay and 20 from the National Wool Museum
  • Five minutes by car to a pub or post office; near the Wales Coast Path
As you wend your way along the coast of west Wales, make time to stop for a breather at this secluded rural spot. Wild Meadow Camping is a peaceful Ceredigion site at the end of a quiet country lane just under a mile from Plwmp, with pitches spread around a meadow that's been planted up with native plants and trees to create a proper wildlife haven. This is the sort of place where you can watch red kites soar through the skies, see swallows swoop over the field and spot dragonflies hovering in the undergrowth. Foxes, badgers and rabbits are regular visitors too, and there's a little stream running through the site to top it all off. The facilities are more than adequate on this small-scale site – you'll have access to two shower rooms, two separate toilets and a washing-up area, all of which are kept clean and are well-maintained. Barbecues can be had but must be lifted clear of the grass (it's best to have a chat about this with someone on site before you get cooking). This area is popular with walkers, who often head for the Wales Coast Path (about 10 minutes' drive away). The pretty Teifi river also runs through nearby small towns like Llandysul and Newcastle Emlyn (both 15 minutes) if you fancy exploring the hinterland.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked I was only here for 3 nights but really wish it was longer!
This is one of the best sites I have stayed on.....& I camp a lot!
I got a lovely text before I arrived & was met at the gate & shown my pitch. The pitches are huge! They are set out around the edge of this fab field & the centre is, as the name suggests, a Wild Meadow.
I had opted for a grass pitch with electric hook up.
There are a couple of other options to stay in if camping isn't your thing.
A stroll through the meadow & you reach the toilets & showers.
There are 2 showers that also contain a toile & sink. The shower is coin operated & you get 5mins for £1. It's enough....but only just when you're a sweaty mess after an 18 mile hike!
Everything is immaculate & clean.
The site itself is a bit off the beaten track & perfect if you want peace & solitude.
Just under a mile away in Plwmp is a bus stop. The T5 bus follows the coast so is great for getting out & about. I'm walking the Coast Path & this was a perfect place for covering a good section using the bus.
I can't fault this place & will definitely come back if I get the chance.

Electric hardstanding and grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The owners are fantastic, can't praise them enough! Extremely friendly & very informative about the surrounding area. Andy & Lisa are the hardest working site owners we've ever met. The site is beautiful, spotlessly clean facilities and in a lovely quiet part of the Welsh coastal countryside. The tent pitches are very spacious and picturesque. We can't wait to go back.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

From the manager: 😊🏕🌞🌳💫🦇

Electric hardstanding and grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked There arnt enough stars for this place. From the initial greeting to the thank you before I left its been perfect. The site is tucked away in a quiet area, so if sitting outside in nature is your thing you will love it. Huge pitches with EHU whether on grass or hardstanding. I defy anyone to find cleaner more pleasant toilets and showers because I don't know of any! And at a £1 for 5mins I can't see any issue. At night there's no light pollution and it's just you and nature, fires are OK as long as it's not damaging the grass so fire mats or in a tray. If you don't fancy your tent you could use the 2 bell tents or very cosy looking lodges on site.....this site is exactly what you want to destress for a while. Thanks again to the hosts....see you again very soon.

Local attractions

For a chance to sail the ocean blue, make for New Quay (15 minutes' drive), where offshore angling trips can be booked at the harbour. Fisherfolk aren't the only ones who come here in search of mackerel – families of bottlenose dolphins can often be seen carving up the waves across Cardigan Bay. Back on land, New Quay Honey Farm (15 minutes) is worth dropping by if you've got a sweet tooth (curious kids can watch the bees busily making the wares behind a glass screen). This being Wales, there are also several top-tier fortifications around, including the rugged ruins of Newcastle Emlyn Castle (15 minutes) and Cilgerran Castle (30 minutes) with its chunky towers. Cardigan Castle (30 minutes) is well worth visiting too; there's also an eight-mile circular walk connecting Cilgerran to Cardigan if you fancy ticking off both. Those with an interest in fab Welsh fabrics, meanwhile, might want to pay a visit to the National Wool Museum (20 minutes), a nicely informative attraction that walks you through the machines, textiles and history with an array of hands-on displays. Sleeping bag not as warm as you thought? Pick up a cosy souvenir in the museum shop.
