  • Quiet family-friendly campsite 10 minutes’ drive from Cardigan Bay
  • Direct access to Wales Coast Path; Cei Bach Beach 10 minutes’ drive
  • Dogs welcome; licensed bistro, farm shop and a play barn on site
Sitting between the seaside towns of Aberaeron and New Quay, Moody Meadows is a family-run site 10 minutes’ drive from spectacular Cardigan Bay in Ceredigion. And not only is it family-run, it’s also very family-friendly, with a whole host of facilities to make life easy on site. These include a farm shop for topping up on supplies, a licensed bistro for those days when you can’t be bothered to spark up the barbecue and a play barn to keep kids safely occupied. The level, tree-lined pitches are all fully serviced with a lawned area for sitting out. Thoughtful additions in the shower block (it has disabled facilities) include hair dryers and a laundrette, and should you be bringing dogs with you, there’s also a dedicated dog wash area for cleaning muddy paws. With easy access off the A487, this quiet site is a convenient base for exploring Ceredigion, its beaches, historic sites and wildlife – watch out for red kites inland and dolphins in Cardigan Bay. A footpath leads from the site to the village of Llwyncelyn (10 minutes’ stroll), and a short walk from there takes you onto the scenic Wales Coast Path… You won’t need a car to explore the area, but a good pair of walking boots is essential.

What customers say

Great pitches, friendly staff & restaurant. Hot tubs a hit! Some find shower temps tricky & Wi-Fi spotty. Pegging hard ground can be tough. Kids' activities cost extra. Overall, a place people want to revisit.

Fully-serviced concrete slab site (hot tub)

Liked We had a lovely time at Moody Meadows. The hot tub was spotless and was checked regularly throughout our stay, which was very reassuring.
The on-site shop was well stocked with all the essentials as well as plenty of treats. The price of the beer in the bar and restaurant was very reasonable, and it was a comfortable, relaxing place to unwind.
The grounds were well maintained, and the peaceful lake was perfect for an early evening stroll, adding to the tranquil atmosphere.
What really made our stay special was the staff. They were polite, friendly, and chatty, making us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. Overall, a relaxing getaway in a lovely setting.

Disliked The recycling was collected early on Sunday morning, which was quite noisy and disturbed the peace

Disliked The pitch was a tad small. You could only just fit the van and awning without going too far onto the grassed area.

Fully-serviced concrete slab site (large)

Liked We stayed for a week in late July of 2026,we arrived to find a very well oiled machine ticking over just as it sho uld have, the facilities were well maintained and spotlessly clean, the Bistro was tastefully decorated and the food was ample and good, I was part of a group of 10 all using different facilities from large serviced pitches to hot-tub pitches and even a lodge, no complaints, all enjoyed it, I would recommend this site as a first choice just as soon as the surrounding area catches up with facilities of equal merit.10/10 for the site and it's facilities

Stan S. 1 review

Fully-serviced concrete slab site (large)

Liked Tidy pitch and site was tidy overall

Disliked What attracted me to the site was the soft play, play area and trampoline park for the kids, i didn't realise these where additional costs, trampoline park cost near £30 for an hour session! And soft play was a similar cost for 1.5 hour session, If we had come on a budget with no extra money there would not have been anything for the kids to do

Fully-serviced concrete slab site (large)

Liked Excellent space with the gravel and grass on the larger pitches. Easy to navigate the site. Clean toilets and showers and friendly staff. Quiet on an evening and well lit for those middle of the night bathroom visits.

Disliked The hardstanding gravel is very difficult to drill hardstanding pegs into. We used a drill and still struggled. WiFi was patchy in places but that is to be expected in such a big site.

Local attractions

Take forays along the Wales Coast Path (direct access from the site), or pack a picnic and march the family down to sand-and-shingle Cei Bach Beach (50 minutes’ stroll/10 minutes’ drive) to see if you can spot dolphins playing in the waves. If the kids catch the wildlife bug, take them to see the birds of prey and butterfly house at the National Botanic Garden of Wales (55 minutes’ drive), where they can also encounter giant animal sculptures on lakeside walks. Learn more about the history of this corner of Ceredigion with a visit to the National Wool Museum (25 minutes), housed in a historic mill packed with original spinning looms; there are entertaining craft workshops for families. Fans of the combustion engine can see 19th-century machines in motion at The Internal Fire Museum of Power (20 minutes), giving an insight into the development of steam power. Staying with the heritage theme, tour the handsome John Nash-designed villa and lakeside gardens at National Trust - Llanerchaeron (10 minutes). If your offspring need an antidote to all that history, the crescent-shaped sandy beach at New Quay (10 minutes’ drive) has rock pools for crabbing and is backed by ice cream stalls and cafés.
