Meadow camping on spacious grassy pitches

  • Small eco-friendly West Wales site a mile from Mwnt beach
  • New Quay, Poppit Sands and Cilgerran Castle within a half-hour drive
  • Firepit for each pitch, with logs for sale; organic veg available
Campfire by the coast, anyone? Make your way to Mwnt Camping and make it a reality – this rural site is less than a mile from the Ceredigion coast, and it’s a place that encourages guests to make the most of their outdoor time by starting up a campfire (and you can tell they’re serious, as they’ve installed a firepit on each pitch and can sell you logs and kindling…) Come along for a break here and you’ll be staying at a small eco-friendly site that’s all about getting back to nature on meadow pitches in peaceful rural surroundings. Minimal lighting means that dark starry skies can be expected – and you’ll often get spectacular sunsets around here too. It’s all kept nicely peaceful by allowing cars in the parking area only, and not in the pitching areas. The folk here have made efforts to keep the site’s environmental impact to a minimum, but you’ll still have access to plenty of handy facilities including both traditional and compost toilets, hot showers, a washing-up area, charging facilities and a shared fridge and freezer. There’s also a cosy barn where you can hang out if the weather isn’t as friendly as hoped. You’ll share the site with a flock of ducks and chickens, and there is also a pond which is a haven for plants and other wildlife. The chickens lay organic eggs, and the team also grows organic veg that guests can use for salads or barbecue fodder. Any other bits you need can be picked up at the shops in Cardigan (10 minutes’ drive), which also has a collection of places to eat and drink.

Barbara H.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Lovely setting with a great atmosphere. loved the chickens and the ducks + friendly cat. Herons by the pond and herb garden etc. Loved the top of the campsite with its views and standing stone circle of local stone. We had a good pitch near hedge, and grass was level and comfy.
Facilities good - hot water for washing up, a fridge and great tiling in shower sink area. Eggs for sale, and milk from nearby farm. Everything cleaned daily. 1 proper loo + compost loos easy access.

Great position - Cardigan was nice with all useful shops, cheap petrol, pubs with folk music and near to St Dogmaels, Parrog beach, Poppet and of course Mwnt beach. Easy to travel to lots of other interesting and beautiful places.
Helen and Dylan friendly and helpful.

Disliked Farm next door quite noisy at times. Very windy - but that's nobody's fault!
Walk to Mwnt beach great but longer than anticipated and would be an energetic walk back to camp site. Car park only takes coins (or Natonal Trust) £5 for all day, but people are happy to pass on their tickets if you're lucky.

From the manager: Hi Barbara

I am so glad you enjoyed the atmosphere here and enjoyed your stay, despite some challenging gusts of wind!

The many trees that we have planted to form a wind-break & shelter are rapidly growing now, so we hope that this will help more in the future

We hope to see you again sometime.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Mwnt Camping were friendly and obliging. The campsite had all the facilities we needed and the pitches were spread out to give privacy.

Disliked I understand the reason for vehicles not being parked by the tent from an asthetic reason but given the number of camper vans nearby some flexibility over our motorbikes would have been appreciated. Not a big issue though.

From the manager: Thanks for your positive comments; I am so pleased that you found the campsite had the facilities you needed and you liked the layout of the pitches.

We do have some pitches that are specifically for vehicles, and these are situated towards the lower end of the site; if you do return I recommend booking a campervan pitch and then you would be welcome to have your vehicles next to you while camping.

We hope to see you again soon.

Great location but some distance from the beach at Mwnt.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked The location is great. Only quibble is that ut is a good 30 min walk to the beach not 'a few minutes' as made out in the ad. Large pitch, helpful owners who leave you to it. Shower and toilet facilities good. Nowhere to empty a toilet cassette. Lots of hens, ducks and a very friendly cat!

Fantastic location and brilliant hosts. The perfect place to relax and be…

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked Great campsite. Nice big pitches with plenty of space between them. Was there over August bank holiday and it didn’t feel overcrowded at all despite being fully booked. The kids loved the chickens, ducks and outdoor ping pong table. Hot showers were great. Would definitely stay again. Loved the big open skies and the migrating geese flying over.

From the manager: We are happy that you enjoyed your stay here. Thank you for such a great review. We hope to see you again sometime.

Great place if you like keeping it simple. Amazing beach nearby.

Bell tent

Liked The campsite is basic in the best possible sense. It has everything you need and nothing you don't. Really nice couple run it, very helpful and accommodating without being in your face. The pitches are well separated. We hired a bell tent which had beds, as well as fire pit and stove outside. Zero light pollution so great night skies. The awesome Mwnt beach is a lovely 20 min walk away. We saw dolphins.

Disliked We seriously underestimated how cold an August night can be. Bring plenty of blankets.

From the manager: We enjoyed meeting you. Thanks for this great review. Hope to see you again.

Local attractions

You’ll want to start (quite possibly immediately upon arrival) with a walk to Mwnt beach, about 20 minutes away on foot. The sandy stretch here is nicely sheltered for swimming, paddleboarding and canoeing – and you can often spot dolphins while you’re sitting on the beach or taking a walk on the Ceredigion Coast Path. If you’d like to up your chances of a close-up audience with the marine mammals, head to New Quay (half an hour’s drive) to join a wildlife-spotting boat trip. For more insights into the local nature, pay a visit to the Welsh Wildlife Centre (20 minutes) – perhaps stopping at Cilgerran Castle (15 minutes) for a sniff of Welsh history at a medieval fortress too. Back to the beach? There are lots more lovely spots to put on your to-visit list around here, including Poppit Sands (15 minutes), Penbryn (20 minutes) and Llangrannog (25 minutes).
