  • Family- and dog-friendly site 20 minutes’ drive from Cardigan Bay
  • A 15-minute drive from the Ceredigion Coast Path at New Quay
  • Folly Farm and Oakwood Theme Park both within an hour's drive
Coastal walks with your best (canine) pal, dolphin-spotting boat tours and lengthy beach days… might you fancy saying a big yes please to all that? At Gellie Camping, a small family-run and family-friendly place just under a mile from the village of Plwmp in Ceredigion, West Wales, it’s all within easy reach. Gellie Camping is a top spot for anyone who wants to explore the Welsh coastline, with the Ceredigion Coast Path and its stunning views over Cardigan Bay passing less than 15 minutes’ drive from the site. If you’re not the walking type, you can see the coastline from a different angle with a boat trip around the bay (keep an eye out for dolphins), or stay active on site with a game of volleyball or a kickabout on the football pitch. Barbecues and campfires are allowed at the site, so fire one up (stacked high with goodies from the shop less than five minutes away), or enjoy the spoils around the other; washing-up facilities are on site whichever you pick. Prefer to take a break from cooking (and cleaning)? Plenty of restaurants to try are within 15 minutes of Gellie Camping.

Unpowered grass site

Liked: Nice little site Very basic but had the amenities needed Good location

Disliked: Field was on quite a slope so my children found themselves slipping down the bed which led to them constantly waking all through the night. Also as it was past 6 on arrival and it started to rain heavily I decided to sort the kids and check in and pay first thing in the morning which we did. Upon arrival at reception a young lad (friends of the family/ family member visiting) greeted us by shouting Gypos across the yard obviously not expecting us to be stopping and actually going to reception. Considering we paid over ÂŁ100 to stay it was certainly not appreciated to be discriminated against just because we have a van !!

Local attractions

If beach days are what your dream hols are made of, then you’re going to have no problem getting to sleep at Gellie Camping – you can swim on over to the spectacular sandy beaches of Cymtydu, Llangrannog and New Quay, all within 15 minutes’ drive of the site. Your seaside excursions don’t have to stop at the water’s edge either… head to Aberaeron, 15 minutes away, to cast off on a dolphin-watching boat tour, or stick around a little longer in New Quay for windsurfing, paddleboarding, waterskiing and sailing with Cardigan Bay Watersports. But what to do if the kids (or you) aren’t fans of the water? Never fear – the West Wales Museum of Childhood and the National Wool Museum are 20 minutes away, the Teifi Valley and Vale of Rheidol railways are both within 40 minutes’ drive, and Folly Farm Adventure Park and Oakwood Theme Park are both around an hour from the site. Credit card still burning a hole in your pocket? High street shopping is a 25-minute drive away in Cardigan – come for the shopping, stay for the museums, galleries and the Welsh Wildlife Centre.
