Lampeter Caravan and Camping
1. Lampeter Caravan and Camping
100%

Wales · 43 units · Tents, Motorhomes
Motorhome pitches on a farm site with views over the Ceredigion Hills.
Five minutes’ drive to Lampeter, and 25 minutes from Aberaeron.
Peaceful, simple site just five minutes’ drive from pubs and shops.
Visiting the offspring at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David? Or just longing for a quiet motorhome break with a back-to-nature vibe on level grass pitches? Either way, Lampeter Caravan and Camping makes a more-than-handy base. This small, family-run site has spectacular views over the Ceredigion Hills at Maesypwll and is five minutes’ drive from the Lampeter campus.
While you’re in Lampeter, pick up food supplies from the supermarkets in Lampeter, or if cooking is off the schedule (this is your holiday after all) there are pubs, fish and chip shops and takeaways galore for you to choose your supper from.
Set on a working farm, the pitches have easy access from the main A475, giving you good connections with the coast at Aberaeron (25 minutes’ drive) or the indie shops of Carmarthen (40 minutes).
Simple on-site facilities include a shower and loo block, plus recycling and waste-water disposal. With just a handful of pitches, there is loads of room for kids to let off steam safely and have a run around with (well-behaved) dogs.

Llandysul, Wales · 8 units · Tents, Motorhomes, Glamping
Ffynnonwen is the perfect spot to reconnect with nature and nourish your soul. We're a quiet site with dark skies and campfires, so you can relax in peace and tranquillity whilst watching the butterflies or stargazing at night.
We're a tiny camping and glamping site with just 5 camping pitches, a traditional Mongolian Yurt and 2 bell tents. Our pitches are all surrounded by flowering grasses and wild flowers and each have their own sunken fire pit. You can explore the winding paths where you might happen upon a hammock for an afternoon snooze or even some fairies (if you tiptoe!)...
We have compost toilets, a shower with unlimited hot water and a shared fridge and freezer. The camping area is car free after set up.
We're just 3 miles from the beautiful Ceredigion beaches and some great walks along the Wales Coastal path.
We can't wait to share our little corner of Wales with you!

England · 2 units · Tents, Motorhomes
Surrounded by acres of farmland and meadows we have 1 small spot at the top of a natural meadow. It overlooks our house and the valley beyond. It is private, but requires a walk to the toilet, there is potable water available.
This is a natural meadow suitable for Wild Camping with one tent
Or
A second spot in a clearing overlooking a woodland - suitable for a campervan. There is no toilet or water facilities here, but you can refill water from our house further down the track.
This clearing is a hard surface, and is along our track, so some traffic should expected.
We are situated within easy reach of Newport Pembrokeshire and the Pembrokeshire Coast. There is plenty of local walking through woodland, moorland on the Preseli Hills and on the coast.

Lovely, peaceful spot. Camped in the field with electrics and had a huge pitch and glorious view. Our dog loved morning walks investigating all the tall grass. We enjoyed the pubs in Little Haven and Broad Haven was great to stock up on groceries. A gorgeous walk along the coast to Nolton Haven to the pub there for lunch. Walked a different beach every day, all within 30 minutes drive.

Lovely location, great electric pitches well spaced out and good to see owners allocate space for the visitor and to not try to cram in loads of pitches.
My partner wasn't keen on the shared toilet and shower block (she prefers individual sex utilities) and given how many people may be on the site at anyone time (think school holidays) only 3 showers and toilets could be a problem.
The only problem we had was that the persons on the pitch next to us had 5 or 6 large dogs, quite aggressive and constantly barking when you walked past. On the first day we walked past with our jack russell 3 of them came running out being aggressive and pushed over our dog, luckily they didn't bite but it did sour the first day of the holiday. Having spoke to the owner we got the usual 'oh there normally friendly' response, no apology - they didn't seem friendly when people walked past them always barking aggressively.
We appreciate being able to take our dog camping and know this isn't really the fault of the site owners, just a shame that some dog owners behave like this (I think 6 large dogs on a camp site is pushing it a bit).

Lovely campsite. I'd love to come back to Shortlands Farm. Great view from the pitch, nicely spaced so you've got privacy. Short walk from the beach and pub.

Fabulous location within walking distance of St Davids town (10mins) and the beach (15mins). A small to medium-sized campsite for campervans, tents, motor homes etc which means that all pitches are close to the showers, toilets and washing up facilities - all of which were very clean and good. Beautiful views out to sea. Dog-friendly.

A peaceful site close to Lampeter. The pitches are grass and fairly level and there are two small, but beautifully clean toilet and shower shacks with a washing and fresh water area behind. Great communication from the hosts.

Dog-friendly caravan parks in Cardigan Bay guide
Where to go
North Pembrokeshire Coast
Heading southeast from Cardigan through North Pembrokeshire, Cardigan Bay culminates at storm-tossed Strumble Head, having wound through Newport and Fishguard. Along the way are striking sights like Dinas Head (a headland cut off from the mainland by a stream), vast sandy beaches like Newport Sands, and the ruined Abbey of St Dogmaels. Newport has several facility-rich campsites—otherwise, sleep out near Strumble Head in a yurt rental.
Ceredigion Coast
Ceredigion boasts the lion’s share of Cardigan Bay—a stretch running from Cardigan to Aberaeron and Aberystwyth up to the Dyfi Estuary. The area is plastered in campsites, with the New Quay area and the coast north of Aberystwyth offering especially good choices. Great hiking can be found along the Wales Coast Path, which takes campers via comely harbours like New Quay with its bottlenose dolphin-watching trips, an abundance of idyllic sandy coves, and rolling dunes around the Dyfi Estuary.
Southern Snowdonia Coast & Llyn Peninsula
Cardigan Bay’s northern portion is flanked by Snowdonia National Park, where the sandy, castle-studded seaboard jostles for position with the jagged mountain peaks and emerald-green valleys behind. The shores then swerve west for 30 miles out onto the lower-lying Llyn Peninsula AONB. Many of North Wales’ best beaches hem this coast, and among many excellent pitching places, the dune-rimmed coast around Morfa Harlech and Morfa Dyffryn stands out.
Cambrian Mountains
Bare yellow-green hills scored by narrow wooded valleys loom inland above Cardigan Bay. Although never surpassing 2,475 feet, these are mighty wild places that cross by Wales’ toughest long-distance trail, the Cambrian Way. This, Britain’s remotest land south of the Scottish Highlands, is most easily accessed from Aberystwyth to the northwest. There are scarcely any campsites in the middle, so places like Aberystwyth, Tregaron, and Lampeter on the western periphery are your best options for camping bases.
