  • Wildlife haven in the peaceful Ceredigion countryside
  • A 15-minute drive from New Quay and 20 from the National Wool Museum
  • Five minutes by car to a pub or post office; near the Wales Coast Path
As you wend your way along the coast of west Wales, make time to stop for a breather at this secluded rural spot. Wild Meadow Camping is a peaceful Ceredigion site at the end of a quiet country lane just under a mile from Plwmp, with pitches spread around a meadow that's been planted up with native plants and trees to create a proper wildlife haven. This is the sort of place where you can watch red kites soar through the skies, see swallows swoop over the field and spot dragonflies hovering in the undergrowth. Foxes, badgers and rabbits are regular visitors too, and there's a little stream running through the site to top it all off. The facilities are more than adequate on this small-scale site – you'll have access to two shower rooms, two separate toilets and a washing-up area, all of which are kept clean and are well-maintained. Barbecues can be had but must be lifted clear of the grass (it's best to have a chat about this with someone on site before you get cooking). This area is popular with walkers, who often head for the Wales Coast Path (about 10 minutes' drive away). The pretty Teifi river also runs through nearby small towns like Llandysul and Newcastle Emlyn (both 15 minutes) if you fancy exploring the hinterland.

Esmat S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We had an incredible experience at Wild Meadow Camp! From the very beginning, communication with Andy was top-notch. He explained every single detail, ensuring we were well-prepared for our stay. The camp itself is set around a beautiful meadow, providing a peaceful and scenic backdrop. While one of our friends stayed in the cosy, well-equipped shepherd’s cabin, we set up a tent nearby. Both options were comfortable and added to the unique charm of the campsite. At night, the starry sky was absolutely breathtaking, perfect for stargazing in the quiet, serene surroundings. Andy was incredibly helpful, offering excellent tips on the best spots to explore and where to eat nearby. The toilet and shower facilities were clean and well-maintained, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, we loved our stay at Wild Meadow Camp, and the owner’s attention to detail made it truly special. Highly recommended!

Electric hardstanding and grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Being greeted at the gate to the campsite by its owner, Andy, complete with a big smile, was a unique and very special experience! We loved the wild flowers, clear night skies and the peace. The facilities block was very clean and modern with hot water. It felt like a proper, traditional campsite.

Disliked: There's really nothing to dislike. I guess we'd have preferred a shower without the £1 coin charging.

Kate d. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: This site was just brilliant. I booked it knowing I wanted a small site that was peaceful but with plenty of places for my kids to run around safely. The other people staying were very respectful and quiet. I also enjoyed the no music rule (despite being a family of musicians) and the lack of WiFi and fairly patchy signal. The pitches were massive so we didn't feel on top of other tents. The five minute shower was more than enough for me and my 2 kids to have a shower together. Andy was really helpful and chatty, giving us ideas for dinner and beaches. The stars were beautiful (I saw my first ever shooting star) and we saw kites and heard owls.

Liked: We had a lovely stay on this site. This was our first time camping and we loved it. Andy was very knowledgeable and friendly, and there was a nice atmospheric on the campsite. The facilities were kept clean and were really nice. Our four year old also loved camping and enjoyed playing with the other children on the site. We will be back next year!

The Fisherman’s cabin

Liked: The shower block was extremely clean and well maintained, our lodge was beautiful and clean as well, I had good signal here on ID mobile, it was peaceful and well looked after! The beds were very comfortable, they had sockets and usb plugs available, heater was really good and all the utensils are supplied. I’d happily go there again with my little ones (4&5) they loved playing in the stream and through the paths of the wild flowers

Disliked: The gate is a bit of a faff having to get out, move the car out to the lane and then get out again to shut the gate as I have a long car it over hung the lane quite a bit and it was raining the whole time so it made it a little annoying, but it wasn’t difficult

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: So glad you enjoyed your stay here. I’m sure the safety of your children far outweigh the faff of opening and closing a gate. Hope to see you guys again ! 😄🌳🏡🌞🌺🦗

Local attractions

For a chance to sail the ocean blue, make for New Quay (15 minutes' drive), where offshore angling trips can be booked at the harbour. Fisherfolk aren't the only ones who come here in search of mackerel – families of bottlenose dolphins can often be seen carving up the waves across Cardigan Bay. Back on land, New Quay Honey Farm (15 minutes) is worth dropping by if you've got a sweet tooth (curious kids can watch the bees busily making the wares behind a glass screen). This being Wales, there are also several top-tier fortifications around, including the rugged ruins of Newcastle Emlyn Castle (15 minutes) and Cilgerran Castle (30 minutes) with its chunky towers. Cardigan Castle (30 minutes) is well worth visiting too; there's also an eight-mile circular walk connecting Cilgerran to Cardigan if you fancy ticking off both. Those with an interest in fab Welsh fabrics, meanwhile, might want to pay a visit to the National Wool Museum (20 minutes), a nicely informative attraction that walks you through the machines, textiles and history with an array of hands-on displays. Sleeping bag not as warm as you thought? Pick up a cosy souvenir in the museum shop.
