  • Small, family-run wildlife haven 12 miles from Aberystwyth
  • Tregaron and Cors Caron nature reserve about 10 minutes' drive
  • Friendly owners, dog-walking area and clean amenities
Ever been to the Aeron valley near Aberystwyth? It's really rather lush – so much so that local lyricist Dylan Thomas named his daughter Aeronwy after the river here (what a poetic parent). The valley's a birdwatching haven that amateur ornithologists flock to, although you won't have to stray far to see local flyers if you stay at small family-run Aeron View Camping… the park is often frequented by red kites. If you'd like to see them, guests can ask at the house. Owners Sue and Alex oversee this wildlife-lover's site, which has all the essentials (including a washing-up area, toilets and showers) plus a few added extras like a dedicated dog-walking area (with free biodegradable bags available at reception to pick up any canine deposits). It's a small and quiet place with no mobile phone signal and no pubs or shops within walking distance. Several pubs are within 10 minutes' drive of the site, and there are grocery shops in Tregaron, 10 minutes' drive away.

What customers say

A quiet, peaceful spot with stunning views. Owners are super friendly & helpful, often including red kite feeding. Clean facilities (a bit dated for some). Dog walking and a book/games hut are great. Lovely and tranquil, but can feel isolated with patchy Wi-Fi.

Liked What a wonderful little place this site is. It's quiet and has beautiful views across the valley. The facilities are basic but clean and easy to access. Each pitch has an electric hook up point and there were picnic tables and benches dotted around the site, if you chose to use them.
There was a designated BBQ area and a small play area for children.
The nearest town is only 4 miles away and there is no shop on site, so you need to bring everything with you. The owner of the site was really friendly and helpful too.
The icing on the cake was watching the Red Kites flying around the site. Quite spectacular.
We had such a lovely chilled time we stayed over for two nights.

Disliked Some of the hard pitches are on a slope, so you need to be able to level up your van if you don't want an uncomfortable night.
When we were there, 2 out of the 4 shower units were out of use. Could be they were being serviced .

Liked very hospitable warm welcome, everything was good and possible, beautiful view from our spot, plenty of space

Disliked The campsite is a bit messy, not really maintained, but everything worked. It also has its charm... and our son had the time of his life in the playground and the space and the cats that walked around and the sheep. So it was definitely a success for us!

Local attractions

What lovely land this is… in a river valley close to the coast and full of options for walks, wildlife and birdwatching, coarse and game fishing and heaps of Welsh history… If you're here for nature, start off at Cors Caron, a nearby reserve on 2,000 acres of bog built up from thousands of years' worth of peat layers. It's well known for its wildlife, especially winter migrating birds, grassland birds and adders, and otters around the River Teifi, which runs at various points in and around the reserve. Welsh history? Four miles to Aeron View Camping's south west lies the 13th-century market town of Tregaron and home of the Welsh Gold Centre (if you're around in summer, get into town for the Tregaron 'Trotian' event – horse trotting and carriage racing). The Dolaucothi Gold Mines, first delved into by the Romans, are within 15 miles. Finally, make time for at least a day in excellent Aberystwyth, 12 miles to the north west from Aeron View, for at least one trip on the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway to the top of Constitution Hill for a fab vista of Cardigan Bay.
