  • 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 (hot tub, adults only)

Liked We stayed in the adult only pitches with an enclosed hot tub on our pitch which was absolutely amazing 🤩 we will definitely be back. The shower/toilet block was spotless and well maintained and quite big too! The onsite shop and bistro was also lovely and a nice atmosphere with friendly staff and also reception staff were lovely and accommodating.

FHU cement/asphalt campsite (hot tub)

Liked This was a fantastic site. The hot tub was amazing. The site was very clean and tidy with good facilities and very helpful staff who went above and beyond when we had an issue with our van.

Disliked Nothing, but if i had to be picky i would suggest more toilet blocks.

FHU cement/asphalt campsite (hot tub)

Liked Well maintained site.
Toilets and showers very clean
Quite a busy site but it feels so quiet
Excellent facilities onsite such as resteraunt and farm shop.
Most of the staff were lovely and happy to help with anything. Men checking hot tubs, reception staff, farm shop staff, most of the resteraunt staff lovely just a couple in there who let the side down.

Disliked A couple of the staff in the resteraunt quite straight faced, not as many personal skills as every other member of staff we dealt with during our stay.

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.
