  • Spacious site a mile and a half from the town of Cardigan
  • Spectacular views over the Preseli mountains
  • Bus stop right outside the park entrance
Get close to Cardigan with a visit to this pretty site: Happy Campers Family Park is the only campsite in the area within easy walking distance of the town. Surrounded by mature hedgerows and oak trees, this roomy, well-equipped site close by the west Wales coast is best suited to those looking for a quiet getaway. Make yourself at home among the three acres for top-notch views (and spectacular sunrises and sunsets) over the Preseli mountains, plus outings to seven beaches within a 20-minute drive. There'll be no worrying about navigating down small country lanes here as this site is directly off the A437 main road and there isn't a caravan site closer to the town of Cardigan (which is within walking distance of the park). Want to leave the car or camper on site for the day? No problem: for getting out and about, guests can catch a bus from right outside the park entrance, or set out on foot on pretty country lanes that run from the site to the Ceredigion coastal path.

What customers say

A well-kept, quiet campsite for peaceful getaways. Washrooms are consistently praised for cleanliness. Spacious, level pitches. Easy walk to Cardigan town. Pam, the owner, is very friendly and helpful. Some noted potential road noise and wished for more washrooms at busy times.

Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked Lovely small campsite, close to Cardigan town centre.
Great facilities, clean and although only two showers and two toilets in the ladies I never needed to queue.
All the facilities you need. Level hardstanding pitches with EHU.
Very easy to get to on main roads.
Plenty of water points, grey and chemical waste.
Loved hearing the geese fly over in the morning and evening.

Disliked The campsite is close to a major road which means there aren’t any awkward lanes to get down which made a lovely change for accessing but did also mean there is some road noise, but that’s the only negative. Everything else was amazing.

Liked Lovely little campsite. Just a short walk in to cardigan bay. Very welcoming reception. Really clean toilet showers.

Disliked Not enough toilets for the size of the site. Only 2 toilets male female. It's only letdown. Could do with a fridge freezer probably by the washing area. To keep fresh food cold or frozen. Milk don't last long when it's warm.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We take all feedback seriously, though we are surprised by this rating given the highly positive feedback we received from other guests staying during the exact same period.
Our team works hard to maintain excellent cleanliness across our showers and toilets, which is frequently reflected in our guest scores. Regarding your expectations, we do explicitly state on our Pitchup profile that we are a quiet, peaceful site and do not feature a clubhouse. We always encourage guests to review our site details carefully before booking to ensure our peaceful environment aligns with their holiday preferences.
We always prefer to address any comfort or noise concerns immediately during a stay. Had you raised these points with us directly at the time, we would have been glad to assist you. We wish you all the best in your future travels.

Very nice little camp site

Local attractions

The ancient market town of Cardigan is only a mile and a half from the park (the bus in stops right outside the entrance) and has good shopping, drinking and eating as well as a cinema, theatre and swimming pool. It’s a place with a lengthy history too: check out Cardigan Castle, St Dogmael's Abbey, and the Guildhall building, which now houses the town’s market. Beach buffs rejoice: a 10-minute drive will take you to the sands of Mwnt and Aberporth, and a few minutes further away you’ll find masses more of the golden stuff at Poppit, Tresaith, Newport and Penbryn (all these can also be reached by bus too). In addition to the thousands of rare sea birds to be found on this stretch of coast, animal fans can spot Atlantic grey seals and bottle-nosed dolphins in Cardigan Bay, visit the Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park, or flit amongst the butterflies at the Felinwynt Rainforest Centre. The equestrian-inclined will enjoy horsing around at Cardigan's Barley Saturday (end of April), the Agricultural Show (July), and nearby Aberaeron’s Festival of Welsh Ponies and Cobs (August). Autumn visitors can see the dramatic spectacle of salmon and sea trout leaping up the cascading waterfalls at Cenarth Falls. A good range of golf courses, horse riding, river and sea fishing are on hand for athletic types, as well as kayaking and canoeing in the pretty Cilgerran Gorge. For adventure seekers, this area is renowned for coasteering (high impact climbing, scrambling, canyoning, swimming, jumping and diving along the rocky coastline); alternatively, the Ceredigion coastal path is the place for a more relaxed meander past coves and beaches, via further wildlife and birdwatching.
