  • Small campsite with spectacular views over Cardigan Bay in Ceredigion
  • Welsh Wildlife Centre and National Wool Museum 25 minutes’ drive
  • Back-to-basics, off-grid pitches; pubs and beaches 20 minutes’ walk
Very true to its name, Aberporth Sea View Camping does indeed have captivating views over the sea – the Irish Sea in fact – from its setting in a hilltop camping meadow. Tucked in between the seaside villages of Aberporth and Tresaith (both five minutes’ drive) overlooking Cardigan Bay, the sea views are quite simply spectacular from all vantage points across the site. Frills may be few at this tiny Ceredigion campsite (there are only a handful of pitches, and they are all off-grid), but frankly who cares when two beaches are within 20 minutes’ walk, and there are farm parks within half an hour’s drive to keep the kids happy? It’s also a handy overnighting spot for long-distance walkers ‘doing’ scenic coastline rambles along the Ceredigion Coast Path, which runs just below the camping field. For safety reasons campfires are not allowed at the pitches here, but barbecues are welcome. You can pick up barbecue bits and bobs in the convenience store in Aberporth, or dodge cooking altogether and find your favourite among the village’s pubs and takeaways.

Liked: Great views, very relaxed and the facilities although minimal were always clean. We could also see dolphins in the sea when sitting outside the tent!

Disliked: The showers could have done with some hooks to hang clothes etc when showering.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Beautiful views, really lovely showers & field nice and soft for pegs! Perfect for star gazing and a short walk from the most beautiful beach Ive ever seen. The pub nearby is brilliant.

Disliked: The only slight suggestion I'd say is please add lights that light up the toilets at night. The lights outside don't quite hit the spot when you're grappling for loo roll in the dark.

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked: Fantastic view, lots of space around pitch, choice of where to pitch up, very clean showers and loos.

Disliked: Very noisy at the top of the site as building work was taking place, so JCBs at work and trucks passing from 8.30am. Would have been good to be notified of this as we would have pitched further down the field away from the works. Showers and toilets had no lights, or hooks to hang clothes.

Local attractions

Beaches calling?

Further north, head to Aberaeron’s shingle South Beach (half an hour’s drive) to see if you can spot the famed dolphin pod that lives in Cardigan Bay. Take the kids to see the giant animals sculptures at the Welsh Wildlife Centre (25 minutes), and befriend the llamas and donkeys at Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park (20 minutes). Any steam fiends among you might like to inspect combustion engines at the Internal Fire Museum of Power (10 minutes), or you can hear all about the former Welsh textile industry with tours of the National Wool Museum (25 minutes) in a converted mill. Time-travel back to prehistoric times with trips up to Pembrokeshire’s mighty standing stones at Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber (35 minutes), see the gaunt Waun Mawn Standing Stones (half an hour) at sunset, or explore the recreated Iron Age roundhouse settlement at Castell Henllys Iron Age Village (25 minutes).
