- Small family- and dog-friendly site with views over the Teifi valley
- A five-minute drive from Newcastle Emlyn and 15 to Cenarth Falls
- Poppit Sands, Llangrannog and Aberporth beaches reachable in 30 mins
Turn up in the Teifi valley for a Welsh welcome at Fron Rafel, a small family-run site spread over seven acres whose friendly vibes and helpful staff are as tiptop as the views of the countryside from the grounds.
As well as being in a lush rural area in west Wales, this dog-friendly place is less than 10 minutes’ drive to the popular settlement of Newcastle Emlyn and 35 minutes from the family-friendly beach of Poppit Sands (lifeguarded in summer), so you can switch between coastal and town times with ease.
Countryside explores are also prime around this park, with Cenarth Falls and its leaping salmon 15 minutes’ drive for waterfall hiking and sightseeing; for mountain biking and more walks, Brechfa Forest is within half an hour. Up for getting out on the water? A local adventure company can arrange canoe trips and other outdoor activities in the site's Carmarthenshire surroundings.
If you fancy browsing the shops in Cardigan and Carmarthen instead, both are about half an hour from the park. Restaurants are dotted around these market towns as well as closer by and a well-stocked supermarket is within a couple of miles for picking up ready meals to warm up in the microwave back on base.
Other amenities at the site include a newly restored piggery building with ladies’ and gents’ shower rooms and a family wetroom plus washing-up facilities and a toaster at one end of the block. The park also has your essentials sorted with a chemical disposal and two washing machines, free for guests to use.

From the manager...
thankyou for your feedback. we are a little surprised by your review as we have full directions on pitch up and if you downloaded booking information and directions you would not need to come down any narrow lanes. our listing is a campsite which is remote so maybe our site wasn't for you. you didn't ask for wifi but scored us 1. good luck with learning how to tow a caravan. kind regards Steve & Cathy |

Follow your satnav directions to Pentrecagal on the A484, and then take the turning to the National Wool Museum. About half a mile along you will see a bus stop and telephone box on your right; take the sharp right at that point and the site is about 400 metres along the lane on left.
