  • 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 an organic beef and arable 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, while pet ducks have a free run of the place. 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, free-range eggs and farm-produced organic beef, as well as branded 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.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The area was lovely, a new looking play park which the kids loved and the shower pressure in the family/disabled room was amazing (we didn't use the showers in the standard toilets to comment)
Friendly owners and they had pigs/cows and horses nearby to see. The nearby beach was lovely with a cafe at the top.
Perfect spot on the campsite to view the sunset!
We had bad weather which unfortunately nearly broke our tent, the wind got to 45+mph which was changing throughout the day/night and it was getting too dangerous for us to be in our tent. Luckily we were able to upgrade to an available caravan for the rest of the holiday and the owners were very accommodating and helpful.
The day we arrived we had some sun and the second from last day some sun but unfortunately the weather was just constant rain and strong winds- definitely was April showers weather!

Disliked: - weather was really bad (not the owner's fault!!)

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Very well kept park, free hot showers & kitchen with a microwave & freezer, plus laundry facilities.
Easy access to the coastal walk which takes you to a beautiful secluded beach, can also be reached by car or by walking on the road but very hilly on the way back may not be suitable for less able bodied people. Very friendly owner. Lovely play area & equipment for children, free Wi-Fi.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: This site was so lovely and clean! Amazing facilities including a kitchen and launderette (which really helped when we ran out of gas and couldn’t find any anywhere)! Amazing views of the sea and the best view of the sunset I’ve ever seen! Helpful friendly staff and a fab park for the kiddies to play on!x

Disliked: The only negative I could find, was that I think it would have been helpful if the on-site shop sold things such as disposable bbqs, Gas canisters and things that might be helpful to campers that either forget or run out of supplies such as those. Other than that- it was fab!

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Liked the site, it was clean and tidy. Grounds were lovely with spectacular views. The hosts were welcoming and gave us lots of info about the site and area. Shop was convenient. Would definitely return. Mwnt beach is great and is a stones throw away.

Disliked: As we stayed last week of the Summer holidays, it was getting dark around 8.30 the kids were still out playing which is great for them, the park is brilliant however I do think it would 100% benefit from a light being installed. Ideally toilet blocks and shower blocks should separate however still clean and tidy.

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).
