  • 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

This clean, spacious campsite offers well-kept sites, many with hot tubs. Guests rave about the friendly staff, great food at The Moody Cow, and good value. Facilities are spotless. Some note it can get busy, and a few mention minor issues with showers or tent pitches. Development looks promising.

FHU cement/asphalt campsite (large)

Liked Lovely clean site

Disliked It is made to be a fanily friendly site. Which it is. But you have to pay for the soft play and trampoline park which I get but would have been sign for guests staying at the site to get a discount as there isn't even a park the kids could go to.

Emma S.

FHU cement/asphalt campsite (adults only)

Liked Lovely clean site. Bistro and farm shop are a lovely touch serving some great bits. Good facilities and love the dog shower facility (although need £ coin to use)

Disliked Sold as family friendly sight booked with friends who have two young kids. They spot the play park driving in. Go to have a play and find it can only be used as part of soft play at an extra cost and at certain times of which there were no more times available. 2 very disappointed kids watching the others play on it outside. Sold as a family friendly site but outside of the "pay even more" facilities (which for soft play and trampolining is absolutely understandable) there is nothing for the kids. It would be good to have a play park accessible to those staying on site available at all times of the day!

FHU cement/asphalt campsite (hot tub)

Liked Great place ,very clean staff are great second time we have been here
Love the hot tub

Disliked Booked a meal for 6pm .
Turned up at 5.45 to be told table needed to be vacated by 7.30
Ordered food then they bought my starter and main at same time and didn't bring my disabled wife her starter .
They soon rectified and bought my wife's starter .
Had another drink and at 7.10 we still hadn't received our main meals so we decided to leave .
Manager was great and very apologetic but was disappointed not to receive what we had ordered and no discount offered for our inconvenience

FHU cement/asphalt campsite (hot tub)

Liked Lovely clean site, good size pitches. Hot tub was a great addition.
Toilet block was clean & spacious.
Restaurant/bar had good food & friendly staff.
Well equipped for dogs with good dog walks & areas. Restaurant dog friendly too.

Disliked Only very small negatives! Literally hardly worth mentioning...
Showers were Luke warm. When we stayed it was 0° so a hot shower would have been good!
And more dog poop bins!

FHU cement/asphalt campsite (hot tub, lake view)

Liked Wonderful place to relax & recharge your batteries.
Private lake view Hot tub was great, temperature was lovely, especially after cycle rides and long walks.
Restaurant dinners were both tasty and plentiful.
I spent too much in the local produce shop, it was amazing and the cheeses were delicious.
Site staff were friendly and polite during our stay.
Shower/loo block was warm and clean.

Disliked would have been nice to have something like a small entertainment area for a quiz, background music, or an social area where you can meet/interact with otherpeople.

Lovely site but be careful of addition costs.

FHU cement/asphalt campsite (hot tub, lake view)

Liked Clean pitch, very slight slope. Lake view depending on motorhome orientation and position with hot tub hut.
Site was well kept and all amenities that were used were spotless.

Disliked Classed as a fully serviced pitch (No4) but grey waste and water were directly in font of the hot tub hut so unless you had an exceptionally long grey waste hose it was useless, the same for the water

Also having a booked a premium pitch, there is nothing else to do unless you pay extra for, no free play area for children. Everything was extra, having paid £154 for two nights then children’s entertainment could have been included.

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.
