  • Quiet family-friendly campsite 10 minutes’ drive from Cardigan Bay
  • Direct access to Wales Coast Path; Cei Bach Beach 10 minutes’ drive
  • Dogs welcome; licensed bistro, farm shop and a play barn on site
Sitting between the seaside towns of Aberaeron and New Quay, Moody Meadows is a family-run site 10 minutes’ drive from spectacular Cardigan Bay in Ceredigion. And not only is it family-run, it’s also very family-friendly, with a whole host of facilities to make life easy on site. These include a farm shop for topping up on supplies, a licensed bistro for those days when you can’t be bothered to spark up the barbecue and a play barn to keep kids safely occupied. The level, tree-lined pitches are all fully serviced with a lawned area for sitting out. Thoughtful additions in the shower block (it has disabled facilities) include hair dryers and a laundrette, and should you be bringing dogs with you, there’s also a dedicated dog wash area for cleaning muddy paws. With easy access off the A487, this quiet site is a convenient base for exploring Ceredigion, its beaches, historic sites and wildlife – watch out for red kites inland and dolphins in Cardigan Bay. A footpath leads from the site to the village of Llwyncelyn (10 minutes’ stroll), and a short walk from there takes you onto the scenic Wales Coast Path… You won’t need a car to explore the area, but a good pair of walking boots is essential.

What customers say

Great, well-kept park with super clean ablutions, ample stands & decent grub. Friendly staff & peaceful vibe, plus hot tub pitches are a treat. Occasional Wi-Fi glitch & confusing signs reported. Some pitches need extra pegs for hard ground.

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch (large)

Liked Well laid out and well equipped. Site has excellent facilities and services. Very clean and tidy. Staff friendly and helpful

Disliked Should probably have gone for the adult only end for a bit more peace. No problem with kids playing but one kid had rigged his back wheel with a plastic bottle jammed in it and it sounded like a motor bike (all day). A minor and probably rare occurrence

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch

Liked Visited this lovely site in our Motorhome last weekend and we were really pleased we did. The park was well laid out and the pitches were a good size. The reception were very welcoming and told us all we needed to know for our short stay. The facilities were clean and within easy reach of our pitch which was great. We had an evening meal and breakfast at the Moody Cow which were both lovely and there’s plenty to choose from. The shop was well stocked with everything you’d need for your stay. Perfect for a stop over if you’re travelling further down the wales coastline which is what we did. Would recommend and will definitely visit again when we visit Wales. Thanks guys.

John W.

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch (hot tub)

Liked Hot tub pitch, staff great, food brilliant in moody cow. Facilities were all clean.

We are really impressed with the organisation and way the site is run. The restaurant was brilliant and genuinely one of the nicest meals ever eaten by our family. Credit to the chefs!

Disliked Sinks have lots of pressure which means when you turn taps on it shots water out meaning the floor was often wet! Easy fix by reducing the flow rate!

Our pitch (26) was quite close to other people - other pitches did seem bigger / better.

Liked Very clean site, water tap and grey water drain on every pitch. Plenty of space between caravans. Food and drink in the Moody cow bistro was competitively priced, even cheap for a holiday park. Food was also excellent with a good choice of dishes. Cakes and pastries were very tasty.

Local attractions

Take forays along the Wales Coast Path (direct access from the site), or pack a picnic and march the family down to sand-and-shingle Cei Bach Beach (50 minutes’ stroll/10 minutes’ drive) to see if you can spot dolphins playing in the waves. If the kids catch the wildlife bug, take them to see the birds of prey and butterfly house at the National Botanic Garden of Wales (55 minutes’ drive), where they can also encounter giant animal sculptures on lakeside walks. Learn more about the history of this corner of Ceredigion with a visit to the National Wool Museum (25 minutes), housed in an historic mill packed with original spinning looms; there are entertaining craft workshops for families. Fans of the combustion engine can see 19th-century machines in motion at The Internal Fire Museum of Power (20 minutes), giving an insight into the development of steam power. Staying with the heritage theme, tour the handsome John Nash-designed villa and lakeside gardens at National Trust - Llanerchaeron (10 minutes). If your offspring need an antidote to all that history, the crescent-shaped sandy beach at New Quay (10 minutes’ drive) has rock pools for crabbing and is backed by ice cream stalls and cafés.
