  • 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.

Stephen Roy G.

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch (large)

Liked Excellent Easy check in ,shown to the pitch everything explained by a lovely gentleman, pitch 39 near shower block , our pitch had hook up and water.
Went for lovely coastal walk with the dog then back to Moody Meadows for dinner, This place is awesome the Lasagne was superb washed down with a cider while other half who is gluten free had the salmon, so good that we decided we would try breakfast in the morning which again was first class and good value. Although we didn't take children just the dog it was a fantastic set up and great seeing the children playing

Disliked Absolutely nothing this place is First class and highly recommend it

Fiona T.

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch (large)

Liked Clean and friendly staff.
Spacious pitches and well laid out.
Great site for children and families as had optional soft play and trampoline park.

Disliked Nothing! Just one tiny niggle, that on trying to find the coastal walk leading off the site, there was one arrow directing us, and after that nothing! We took the wrong path twice and gave up in the end! 😂 a sign post after the main gate would be helpful. But not the be all and end all!

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch (large)

Liked Camp site was well maintained and clean. Bins were emptied frequently and the shower blocks were clean and warm.
Staff were friendly and the pitches were pretty level.

Disliked Pitches are on rocks. Small sharp rocks. Small sharp rocks covering large underground rocks which made putting in pegs a nightmare.

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.
