  • Lakeside caravan park near Lampeter in rural Carmarthenshire
  • A half-hour drive to Cardigan Bay beaches and dolphin-spotting trips
  • Tennis court on site; bars and shops five minutes’ drive away
Treat yourself to a stay at Ty Llyn caravan park, a six-acre, adults-only site for caravans and motorhomes, with gorgeous rural views and – best of all – a view of a sizeable lake, fed by spring water. On clear days, expect to see spectacular sunsets over the water – and if you want to get moving, the site has a tennis court where you can practise your swing. With a tiny number of adults-only grass pitches among six acres of gorgeous countryside, you’ll never feel overcrowded at this spot, and there’s plenty of wildlife to spot around too. Although well-behaved canines are welcome, they’ll need to be under control at all times, as there are farm animals grazing in surrounding fields. While there are no food offerings at Ty Llyn, team members are happy to advise on choice of restaurant or where to go shopping for supplies – top spot is Lampeter (five minutes’ drive), with handy shops and plenty of pubs, cafés and restaurants.

What customers say

Adults-only site praised for beautiful lake, peaceful vibe, and friendly, flexible hosts. Pitches generally large & well-kept, with wildlife & stunning views. Facilities basic but clean for some, though others noted shower/sink issues & inadequate toilets, with some leaving early. Still, many found it idyllic & would return.

Sue W.

Primitive grass and gravel tent campsite

Liked This site is so peaceful and relaxing. Adults only means that it is quiet and tranquil all day.
The view over the lake is truly beautiful and the ideal spot for me to use my SUP.
We saw 6 species of birds in the first hour we were there.
The static caravan on site provides a clean toilet and shower facility, with kitchen equipment if required.

Georgia W.

Primitive grass and gravel tent campsite

Liked Beautiful scenery, loads of wildlife and a very peaceful stay. We were the only ones on site making it a wonderful personal experience. Toilet facilities are much better than the standard port-a-loo type and clean. We used the static caravan on-site to wash our dishes but could’ve used it more often if we needed to. Field was secure allowing our dog to roam safely. Within walking distance from pub and shop but wouldn’t recommend this as it is a dangerous road to walk on.
35 minute drive from new quay which was our chosen day trip spots. Beautiful location.

Local attractions

There are all sorts of adventures to be had if you’re based at Ty Llyn, from trekking with alpacas at Woodlands Alpacas (25 minutes’ drive) to saddling up for horseback trail riding from Maesllan (10 minutes) and playing a round of golf in Lampeter (five minutes). And of course, there are miles of local footpaths for dog walks, as well as mountain-bike tracks in woodlands surrounding the site. Dolphin-spotting boat cruises depart from New Quay (half an hour), while the Cardigan Bay seaside resort of Aberaeron makes a fab day out on sunny days, with a beach backed by colourful Georgian-era cottages and some cute seafood restaurants. For a more cultural outing, jump on the steam train to Carmarthen (35 minutes) to pick up crafts in the covered market and nose around the art galleries. Tour the stately John Nash-designed villa at National Trust - Llanerchaeron (25 minutes) or potter around the biospheres and lovely landscapes at the National Botanic Garden of Wales (45 minutes). Closer to base, Norwood Gardens and Tea Room (10 minutes) has several themed gardens to wander, and looks wonderful in spring when the daffs are out.
