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.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: Choose your own pitch, sea views, well located for cycling to Tresaith and Aberporth beaches. The garage on the main road sells charcoal and whatever food/beer you'll need.

Disliked: It was baling time, honestly when it's actually wrapping the silage it sounds like a pile driver! And it went on until 10 at night. I know, countryside sounds etc, but there's also what looks like an industrial unit on site with some sort of humming/whining sound until late. And some neighbours with incessantly barking dogs, so I can't say it was peaceful. Also the field is largely sloping and clay soil and wet in parts at the top and one side so be careful not to get stuck. And it's quite exposed.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Washing facilities were exceptionally clean and modern, we loved the hot shower with huge rainfall head! Beautiful surroundings and well cared for grounds. Max 30min walk along the coastal path to either aberporth or tresaith and accessible for pushchairs. We loved waking up to the sea view! We would definitely return!

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: Great views out to sea, over Aberporth. Warm relaxed host. No frills, large grassy field. Basic washing, toilets & showers, but enough for small site. Showers hot and spacious with enough room to get changed. Decent pub 2 min drive the Ship Inn

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).
