Sea views from everywhere on site

  • Small campsite with spectacular views over Cardigan Bay in Ceredigion
  • Welsh Wildlife Centre and National Wool Museum 25 minutes’ drive
  • Back-to-basics, off-grid pitches; pubs and beaches 20 minutes’ walk
Very true to its name, Aberporth Sea View Camping does indeed have captivating views over the sea – the Irish Sea in fact – from its setting in a hilltop camping meadow. Tucked in between the seaside villages of Aberporth and Tresaith (both five minutes’ drive) overlooking Cardigan Bay, the sea views are quite simply spectacular from all vantage points across the site. Frills may be few at this tiny Ceredigion campsite (there are only a handful of pitches, and they are all off-grid), but frankly who cares when two beaches are within 20 minutes’ walk, and there are farm parks within half an hour’s drive to keep the kids happy? It’s also a handy overnighting spot for long-distance walkers ‘doing’ scenic coastline rambles along the Ceredigion Coast Path, which runs just below the camping field. For safety reasons campfires are not allowed at the pitches here, but barbecues are welcome. You can pick up barbecue bits and bobs in the convenience store in Aberporth, or dodge cooking altogether and find your favourite among the village’s pubs and takeaways.

What customers say

Highly recommended, peaceful site with stunning sea views. Praised for exceptional cleanliness and hot showers. Great location near coastal paths, beaches, and villages (15-20 min walk). Some mention gentle slopes and uneven pitches; limited flat areas. Basic, well-kept facilities. Visitors suggested better signage and more hooks in showers.

Adam W.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Super clean facilities. Showers were hot. Hot tap in the sink. Great view, wonderfully quiet. Someone did come and see how I was briefly on one of the days which was nice as I had the entire ground to myself all week. I had a van on hard standing.
I was there the second week in September so the weather had turned which does shape my review. It would undoubtedly feel very different in the height of summer. I enjoyed my stay. Some nice places nearby. Worth noting the walk to the two places nearby are along a road with no path for 10 minutes, but it is very quite and cars go slowly with lots of visibility.

Disliked The showers and toilets, whilst cubicles, are essentially outside, which in the cold wind I experienced wasn't great. The hill is really exposed so my van was getting hit quite hard with the wind and I cut my time their short due to a yellow wind warning towards the end of my week. Not worth the price.

Thanks for an enjoyable 2 days stay in one of our favourite places.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked We liked the sea view.
The cleanliness of the showers and toilets.
The closeness to the coastal path and other local beaches.
Plenty of space to pitch our tent.

Disliked No really dislikes but I could imagine if the site got busy a third toilet and shower would be helpful.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked beautiful views, lovely location and very clean facilities! 15 minute walk to tresaith beach and 20 minutes in to aberporth, 15 min drive to cardigan where they have a tesco/aldi/b&m which was perfect.

Disliked A freezer to store ice packs in would make it perfect!

Stephen H.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Nice site with views out to sea and nice sunsets over Aberporth. A 15 minute walk to Aberporth and the same to Tresaith beach.
Basic facilities 2 toilets, 2 showers and a washing up area but all kept spotlessly clean. Site is gently sloping but not a problem.

Disliked A suggestion would be to maybe provide another outbuilding with a few electric points for phone charging and a old chest freezer for ice packs etc.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked This is a little gem of a site.
Small with two showers and two toilets. Which are spotless.
No electric but the views make up for this. Absolutely stunning views and only a 20 minute coastal walk from Aberporth.
Again stunning views and a nice path to walk along.
My new favourite place we will definitely be coming back.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Absolutely gorgeous views, can pitch up where ever you like, not over crowded at all. We sat up late every night and it was soo chilled and quiet. The walk to the little village took about 20 mins not far at all, it's got a gorgeous bay. the perfect get away to relax and completely switch off

Disliked Nothing at all :) xx

Local attractions

Beaches calling? Exercise any dogs travelling with you at Dolwen Beach (five minutes’ drive), which is canine-friendly all year, go dinghy sailing from Tresaith beach (15 minutes’ walk), and sunbathe or kayak from the fine sandy stretch at Aberporth (20 minutes). Further north, head to Aberaeron’s shingle South Beach (half an hour’s drive) to see if you can spot the famed dolphin pod that lives in Cardigan Bay. Take the kids to see the giant animals sculptures at the Welsh Wildlife Centre (25 minutes), and befriend the llamas and donkeys at Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park (20 minutes). Any steam fiends among you might like to inspect combustion engines at the Internal Fire Museum of Power (10 minutes), or you can hear all about the former Welsh textile industry with tours of the National Wool Museum (25 minutes) in a converted mill. Time-travel back to prehistoric times with trips up to Pembrokeshire’s mighty standing stones at Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber (35 minutes), see the gaunt Waun Mawn Standing Stones (half an hour) at sunset, or explore the recreated Iron Age roundhouse settlement at Castell Henllys Iron Age Village (25 minutes).
