  • Quiet Mid Wales coastal campsite overlooking spectacular Cardigan Bay
  • Walking distance to Mwnt Beach; Castell Henllys half an hour’s drive
  • Family site with a play park, animals to meet and a well-stocked shop
With sweeping views over Cardigan Bay – home of a well-known dolphin pod – peaceful, family-run Blaenwaun Caravan Park is set on a farm 15 minutes’ drive north of Cardigan in Mid Wales. This quiet spot overlooks the gorgeous National Trust-owned Mwnt Beach, which can be reached via a bridleway from the site. This coastal caravan park is a great base for the whole family; there’s a fantastic play area on the edge of the camping field (so parents can keep an eye on their offspring from the pitches), and there’s masses of room for ball games, kite flying or riding bikes. As if that’s not enough, youngsters can feed pot-bellied pigs, Jemima the goat and Pippi the pony. Access the Ceredigion Coast Path from the site (bring any dogs with you for seaside walkies), and give alfresco cooking on the barbecue a go too. There’s a well-stocked shop on site, selling fresh bread, milk and free-range eggs, as well as gifts and camping essentials. To make life even easier, electric hook-ups are available, and you can use the basic kitchen equipment (microwave, kettle, fridge and toaster) in the laundry room. The facilities block has a disabled shower room and baby-changing facility too.

What customers say

Great for families! Lovely sea views & sunsets. Spacious pitches, helpful owners, awesome playground & good facilities. Close to Mwnt beach but can be windy. Shower temps/sizes a minor thing managers are sorting. Highly recommended, guests will be back!

Electric grass pitch

Liked This was a beautiful campsite. The owners were so helpful, polite and welcoming. Toilets and showers were clean, the park was a bonus for the children. I would recommend

Disliked Only down side was the wind, it was extremely windy. I know this is not something the campsite can help but I wish I had known and could have been more prepared. Plenty of wind breakers are a must!!

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Great views and location - site was clean, well maintained and the shop was really handy.

Disliked It didn’t seem like the non-electric pitches had allocated pitches and it was a bit of a free for all on where you pitched up. As a consequence, we had a family pitch up within a metre of us while we were out - their guy lines overlapped with ours.

It made the last day of our stay really uncomfortable.

This could and should be managed better.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We do allocate all our non-electric pitches and show guests where to pitch on arrival, so it’s certainly not intended to be a free-for-all!

Unfortunately, some campers don’t always appreciate that the footprint of a tent includes the rather important matter of guy lines too — which can occasionally lead to a little unwanted neighbourhood expansion!

Had we known about the issue while you were with us, rather than after you had left, we would have been very happy to step in and resolve the problem, as we do pride ourselves on ensuring a high level of customer service and satisfaction. We’re sorry it made your final day uncomfortable and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

Local attractions

Cardigan Bay is home to a myriad of marine wildlife. Migrating dolphins can often be seen offshore, and there are numerous boat trips departing St Dogmaels (15 minutes’ drive) to view harbour porpoises, Atlantic grey seals and the resident pod of bottled-nosed dolphins. Sporty types will fit right in here too. Golfers can make a beeline for the 18-hole championship course at Gwbert (10 minutes), and there are three other courses within about 20 minutes’ drive. Sailing aficionados can hire boats in Gwbert, and riders explore the countryside on horseback from the local equestrian centre (20 minutes). For a change of pace, learn about local history with a visit to the Benedictine monastery ruins in St Dogmaels, or have a nose around the mighty towers and ramparts of 13th-century Cilgerran Castle (20 minutes). Travel back in time to Castell Henllys (half an hour), a carefully reconstructed Iron Age settlement, and take a walk up to the prehistoric burial monument at Pentre lfan (half an hour).
