The mountains (added by manager 30 jun 2022)

  • Peaceful Carmarthenshire site with mountain views all around
  • A five-minute drive to Dolaucothi Gardens; 15 minutes to Lampeter
  • Alpacas and goats to meet on site; easy access from A482
Yes, you’ll be able to look up at the mountains when you stay at Carmarthenshire’s Mountain View Camping – and you’ll also be able to get out and explore them easily. This well-located site has a peaceful and secluded vibe, but it’s only a short way off the A482 for straightforward journeys to nearby trails including those in the northwestern corner of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Pitch numbers have been kept quite low at this relaxed site, but you won’t be short of company as you’ll be able to hang out with a friendly gang of goats and alpacas who live in the pen next door. There’s often wildlife to spot both at ground level and up in the air, along with access to lots of footpaths to take walks nearby. Horse riding, mountain bike trails and fishing lakes are close by too. Simple facilities on site include toilets, fresh water and rubbish/recycling bins, and you’re welcome to bring along a barbecue to cook your dinner. Lampeter, five miles away, has several shops and supermarkets where you can pick up supplies. The area has a few pubs for food and drinks if you’d rather head out.

Belle bell tent

Liked: Absolutely beautiful location. Lovely Alpacas on site and the bell tent was immaculate. Lovely little touches like a gas cooker and a couple teas/coffees/biscuits provided. Lovely owner. No wifi - good phone signal.

Disliked: Only downside were the toilet facilities. Just a porta-loo.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Really lovely spot with great views and very peaceful. Very friendly couple running the site with some upgrades in mind. Loos are basic portaloos at the mo but they have plans for a shower and loo block. Was extremely wet when we were there after some very heavy rain. Our van got a bit bogged down leaving and they were very good in helping us out. Friendly alpacas and goats...

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Owners were friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Field was very muddy and I had to be towed in and out, although their small truck struggled to move my campervan.

From the manager: Sorry you were not total satisfied but we are listed as a quiet campsite. The heavy rain was beyond our control.

Beautiful surroundings Alpacas & Goats are so friendly…
