Awesome setting. (added by len_g312146 07 Jun 2017)

Our set up in the dog walking field not main camp site that's a lot smoother.
Great family spot, perfect spot for a relaxing time away.

  • Spacious site a mile and a half from the town of Cardigan
  • Spectacular views over the Preseli mountains
  • Bus stop right outside the park entrance
Get close to Cardigan with a visit to this pretty site: Happy Campers Family Park is the only campsite in the area within easy walking distance of the town. Surrounded by mature hedgerows and oak trees, this roomy, well-equipped site close by the west Wales coast is best suited to those looking for a quiet getaway. Make yourself at home among the three acres for top-notch views (and spectacular sunrises and sunsets) over the Preseli mountains, plus outings to seven beaches within a 20-minute drive. There'll be no worrying about navigating down small country lanes here as this site is directly off the A437 main road and there isn't a caravan site closer to the town of Cardigan (which is within walking distance of the park). Want to leave the car or camper on site for the day? No problem: for getting out and about, guests can catch a bus from right outside the park entrance, or set out on foot on pretty country lanes that run from the site to the Ceredigion coastal path.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked: Great customer service from Pam, what a fantastic host. Lovely flat pitch with nice views over the Ceredigion countryside. Not far from town at all with a mile or so walk and a large Tesco and Aldi even closer. Shower/toilet blocks beautifully clean with plenty of hot water. Somewhere we’ll definitely be visiting again.

Disliked: Nothing at all.

Camping pod

Liked: Lovely little site. Clean toilets and showers. We stayed in a Pod which was really cleverly laid out so had loads of room as we could store things under the bed. Also very handy that could park the car next to the pod. Very cozy, would be absolutely fine to stay in during colder months. Handy little drinks fridge supplied too. Firepits are supplied and we intended to use ours and bought some wood from B&M but we didnt need to. The porch of the Pod is quite deep and it really kept us sheltered from the windy weather. Field was short and well kept - loads of room to kick a football around and play ball games. Walking distance to Cardigan town (approx 25mins) Tesco Superstore and B&M Store 5 mins down the road. Would definitely stay again.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: This was a lovely, small, quiet campsite. It suited us as a couple with an 11 year old and a dog perfectly. There are 2 toilets and 2 showers in ladies and the same in mens but never had to wait with the site being small. The facilities were clean and the showers nice and hot. The small nature of the site meant it was perfect to relax, play with a kite, have a bbq and then watch the stars. The owner was often about, chatty and checking everything was OK. Lots of lovely beaches near by and plenty to keep us busy. One of our favourite campsites we have ever stayed at.

Local attractions

The ancient market town of Cardigan is only a mile and a half from the park (the bus in stops right outside the entrance) and has good shopping, drinking and eating as well as a cinema, theatre and swimming pool. It’s a place with a lengthy history too: check out Cardigan Castle, St Dogmael's Abbey, and the Guildhall building, which now houses the town’s market. Beach buffs rejoice: a 10-minute drive will take you to the sands of Mwnt and Aberporth, and a few minutes further away you’ll find masses more of the golden stuff at Poppit, Tresaith, Newport and Penbryn (all these can also be reached by bus too). In addition to the thousands of rare sea birds to be found on this stretch of coast, animal fans can spot Atlantic grey seals and bottle-nosed dolphins in Cardigan Bay, visit the Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park, or flit amongst the butterflies at the Felinwynt Rainforest Centre. The equestrian-inclined will enjoy horsing around at Cardigan's Barley Saturday (end of April), the Agricultural Show (July), and nearby Aberaeron’s Festival of Welsh Ponies and Cobs (August). Autumn visitors can see the dramatic spectacle of salmon and sea trout leaping up the cascading waterfalls at Cenarth Falls. A good range of golf courses, horse riding, river and sea fishing are on hand for athletic types, as well as kayaking and canoeing in the pretty Cilgerran Gorge. For adventure seekers, this area is renowned for coasteering (high impact climbing, scrambling, canyoning, swimming, jumping and diving along the rocky coastline); alternatively, the Ceredigion coastal path is the place for a more relaxed meander past coves and beaches, via further wildlife and birdwatching.
