  • Family run for over 40 years, two miles from the beach at New Quay
  • Fishing lake surrounded by acres of peaceful space
  • Pool, play areas, arcade, kids' club and clubhouse with two bars
Want to pitch up in splendid New Quay on the Ceredigion coast, former home of Dylan Thomas and 20 minutes’ drive from Cardigan Bay, known for its bottlenose dolphins? Pitch up at Pencnwc Holiday Park. It’s less than two miles from New Quay’s safe beaches and harbour walls, five miles from the sands at Ceredigion and 20 from the university town of Aberystwyth; Cardigan is the same distance to the south. The site has been family-run for over 40 years, so there's plenty to do for guests of all inclinations. Let the kids take their pick from two on-site play areas, a big amusement arcade, splashing around in the heated indoor pool with adjacent paddling pool, or getting stuck into art, jewellery, sport and games at the free kids’ club. The entertainment (available every day through the school holidays and every weekend for the rest of the year) runs into the evenings in Merlin’s Den, one of the two bars in the clubhouse, and is suitable for all sizes. Seeking grownup time? Head to the second pub, Smugglers Bar, for a coffee, newspaper or catching up with what’s happening in the world of sport on the bar’s numerous TVs. The bar also serves meals (including breakfasts and lunches), and there's a tempting range of street food to take away – think pizzas, loaded fries and smashed burgers. You may like to take your munchies to the on-site fishing lake, where acres of space abound for quiet contemplation (and no one nicking your chips). On-site amenities include loo and shower blocks with hot water, a modern launderette and a washing-up area all kept in spankingly good order among the flowers, shrubbery and well-maintained grounds. There’s no food shop on site, but there are two at the nearby village of Cross Inn, a few minutes’ walk away.

What customers say

Reviewers rave about the site's cleanliness, roomy, well-kept pitches, and friendly staff. The heated pool, clean facilities, and on-site restaurant are top picks. The free shuttle to Newquay is a bonus. Some note Wi-Fi limits and occasional shower hiccups. Manager replies show they're working on it.

Abigail C.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Spacious pitches and relatively clean
Good price for drinks and nice bar outside.
Dog field was great to let the dog run free
Swimming is 50p per person for 45 minutes and wasnt busy so was great!
We only went into entertainment twice, once for day time activity which was great

Disliked Bins being emptied at 7.30 am wasn't great and even though bins were empty there was lots of rubbish on the floor!
Entertainment was quite small room and very loud and lots of lights flashing which was too much for my child so had to leave.

Liked Beautiful site, very clean and great facilities

Disliked When ordering food to take away we were given open paper bowls, the weather was really awful so had nothing to cover said food. Waitress was very unhelpful in giving us anything to cover the food, it was £40 and was not even packaged properly

Local attractions

The traditional fishing village of New Quay, two miles away, is, of course, a fine place for fishing – such boat trips bob out from the harbour here, as do dolphin-spotting outings. There's a fine population of the marine mammals nearby but for a cast-iron guarantee of wildlife sightings you may like to drop in at the town's Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre. The market town of Cardigan (a hub for active pursuits) and the university town of Aberystwyth are both 20 miles away. Top local beaches are at Aberaeron (15 minutes' drive), and Llangrannog (20 minutes).
