  • Peaceful adults-only Ceredigion site in the Melindwr Valley
  • A 15-minute drive to Aberystwyth and Devil's Bridge Falls
  • Easy access from the A44; pub 10 minutes' walk away
Ceredigion’s coast and countryside alike will be yours for the taking when you stay at Aber Camping – this adults-only site welcomes guests aged 16 and over to a peaceful spot in the Melindwr Valley, about 15 minutes’ drive from Aberystwyth. Gorgeous rural life is all around you here – there are sheep and cows in the neighbouring fields, and you’ll often spot red kites, buzzards and other birds of prey flying overhead or landing nearby (wildlife photographers, don’t forget your kit…) Unobscured views of the surroundings also mean that this site is a great place to sit and simply take in the landscape on a relaxed break. And if you need a little more activity? Well, there’s plenty of that around too, whether you stay inland for hikes and mountain bike trails or head west to the coast for seaside walks, surfing, swimming and watersports (and perhaps the chance to spot the porpoises and dolphins that live in Cardigan Bay). This is an excellent location for 4x4 and off-road adventures. There are many trails nearby and guided tours are available at an additional cost. Ask ahead and you may be able to organise lifts to and from the train/bus station, or to local attractions – most handy for folk travelling without a car. Action-packed break or chillout time on the cards – either way, you’ll no doubt appreciate the effort that’s gone into setting up the facilities on site. Guests will have access to modern, clean toilets and showers (with ladies’ and gents’ sections), an enclosed washing-up area and a small shop for essentials. For more extensive stocking up there are plenty of shops in Aberystwyth, as well as places to eat and drink. Your closest pub, however, is a mere 10-minute walk away – a welcome site at the end of a long and active day…

What customers say

This quiet, adults-only campsite offers a peaceful escape in a scenic valley with gorgeous views. Guests rave about the friendly owners, Andre and Karen, and the ample, tidy sites. Facilities like clean showers/toilets are mostly great, though some suggest updates. Perfect for relaxation, with easy access to local trails and town. Narrow access roads have been improved.

Top Field primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite

Liked The campsite was nice and quiet. Toilets where kept in good condition and the little shop on site was handy. Would recommend! The owners were also lovely and helpful.

Disliked The automatic light in the toilets would go off quite often putting the room into darkness. So I would have to wave my hand to activate the sensors.

Top Field powered grass and earth tent or RV campsite

Liked Lovely location great for walks andre was friendly and helpful choose any pitch that wasn’t already booked..20min walk to the druid inn which doesn’t look much but the food was superb and a lovely friendly atmosphere. If you plan on going make sure you read andre’s txt about directions.!!!!!!

Disliked Toilets could do with an upgrade but we’re clean and looked after

From the manager: Hi thanks for the positive feedback. Glad you liked the site. Yes toilets are due a revamp over the winter when we are closed. It’s been busier than expected this year and the showers and loos have been well used and abused! Lol. We have guests on site all the time and difficult to close the loos during the busiest time. Roll on November when we close and can do work all round the site. The hot weather hasn’t been helpful either as everyone wants showers twice a day. It’s in hand. Welcome back any time. Kind regards. Andre

Liked Loved the space - we stayed in the non hook up pitch 5….
Calm, peaceful and no small people running around

Disliked Not a dislike as such, and I don’t know if you’ve tried this but the eggs on sale with a trust box might be a nice idea as we arrived latish on the Sunday wanted to pick something up for the morning but had to miss as was leaving early the next day, just a thought

Not dog friendly, so probably would not stay again

Top Field powered grass and earth tent or RV campsite

Liked Very quiet location, Andre was very helpful and personable; adult only which was ideal, facilities were clean and available; washing up station on site. Would recommend a trip to ynslas beach and borth beach for sunsets - also close to Aberystwyth. Didn’t get to do the devils bridge this time but will be back. Mach loop isn’t too far either so location wise is a great place with lots of things close by. Will be doing the new quay harbor dolphin boat tours next time too!!

Disliked Possibly update the toilet and shower facilities, or just freshen up a bit - only two toilets and one shower in each side which was fine for us but would be worth knowing in very busy times or at peak times for showering etc

Top Field primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite

Liked Lovely small site with basic facilities in a valley. Showers and toilets were good and the freezer for our ice packs was a great addition. We saw the eclipse and shooting stars on the same night. Owner came round in the evening and was friendly but judged it well and stayed for a short chat only, giving us local information as was required.

Liked This was an excellent spot and the owners are lovely. As a quiet campsite, we could really relax!
There's access to buy essentials there if needed, toilets and showers are clean and a good pub quiz up the hill!

Local attractions

You’re bound to end up in Aberystwyth (15 minutes’ drive) sooner or later – it’s not just a place for practicalities but also a great spot for a day out, spending time on the beach, trying out various watersports, riding the cliff railway up to the camera obscura or visiting the National Library of Wales and the ruins of Aberystwyth Castle. Aberystwyth is also the starting point for the Vale of Rheidol Railway, which provides steam-powered trips to the stunning Devil’s Bridge Falls. If you’d rather head straight to the falls, it’s about a 15-minute drive. While you’re inland, stop by at the red kite feeding station at Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest (five minutes) or head underground at Silver Mountain Experience (10 minutes). And then? Maybe back to the coast for a day at Borth (20 minutes), further inland to the hikes of Elan Valley (45 minutes) or north for an educational day at the Centre for Alternative Technology (45 minutes)?
