  • Next to Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park: free entry for site guests
  • On a scenic headland with sea views, 10 minutes' drive from Mwnt beach
  • Adventure playground, visitor centre, café and animals to meet
If you'd like to go nature spotting in Wales, consider Cardigan Bay and the nature reserve Cardigan Island. And if you'd like to stay in the Cardigan Island vicinity, go to Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park, a site adjacent to the popular and family-run farm park of the same name, set on a scenic headland with views of Cardigan Island and the dolphins below. Cardigan Island, 200 yards offshore and visible from the site, has thousands of nesting seabirds to see, a flock of wild Soay sheep (originally from the Scottish Isle of Soay, south of Skye) and a colony of grey Atlantic seals breeding in the many caves below the farm park cliffs (you should be able to see them every day of your stay – a real treat for the kids). The bay's bottlenose dolphins also frequent these waters, particularly on calm days when they swim closer to the shore and can be seen from the farm park. On site, there's a variety of friendly animals to meet including pigs, sheep, goats, rare-breed cattle, ponies, chickens, rabbits, ducks, geese and a donkey, and a llama, emu and wallaby representing non-natives. There's also an adventure playground and sandpit for the kids, and a large visitor centre (open daily from 10am to 6pm) with a café, gift shop and plenty of play equipment. The campsite part of the park is on a gentle slope with spectacular views over the farm park and out to sea, and has showers, toilets and dishwashing facilities on site. Other toilets and a baby changing area are in the visitor centre when it's open. And yet another cracking thing about staying at this Cardigan Island campsite? Entrance to the farm park is free for guests.

What customers say

Gorgeous sea views & farm park access with animals and playgrounds. Seals often spotted on coastal walks. Mostly clean facilities. Staff are friendly. Wi-Fi/phone signal can be patchy, some pitches are sloped. Peaceful, family-friendly spot.

charlie b.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Amazing location, brilliant for families, very clean, 5 minutes from aldi/tesco/B&M, well kept animals in the farm park, great walk along coast to see dolphins and seals, incredible sunsets, basic but functional and clean facilities, play area is big and fun, good wifi at the hub, worth every penny.

Disliked Only gripe is that upon entering the site to check-in, communication was lacking and the owner and staff member started arguing, interupting guests while in conversation.

Kelly H.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Location, scenery, farm and food.
Quiet nice location away from it all. Clean facilities. Toilets, showers and washing up room. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets. Although field on slight slant. So we moved our tent beds accordingly. Added bonus from the farm with the animals waiting to be fed. This is free to people staying on the farm. Laughs from adults and children with their antics! Seen lots of seals along the coastal walk which is well signposted. Seals who were more than happy to entertain the audience. Due to the weather we couldn’t cook near our tent so had a couple of nice breakfast’s to set us up for the day. Although food was hot and freshly cooked, I would have thought proper farm sausages and bacon would have been used. However, sausages tasted like Asdas own frozen sausages.
One size breakfast, the men couldn’t have larger. £11. So definitely pricey for what you get. All Staff were nice and approachable.

Disliked Weather. Being on top of a cliff we unfortunately had some very windy weather yet when we went into cardigan and new-quay and it wasn’t all that windy at all.
Washing up room was hit & miss with hot water.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Stunning views of Cardigan Island and Poppit Sands. Loved the access to the farm park and coastal walk where you could see seals. Good clean showering facilities and washing area. Close to Cardigan and amenities. Helpful owners😀

Disliked Wi-Fi only available in the centre building and mobile data connection was sporadic on camp site due to location.

Liked Brilliant park for the children to play and ease of access was great, along with access to the coastal path and seeing the lovely animals in the farm park.
Lovely coffee shop inside the farm park and the little area for children to play inside also. The shop had some great gifts available.
Toilets and showers were clean and in a good condition.

Local attractions

Several cracking family-friendly beaches are in the area: after you've explored the farm park, have days at Mwnt (and the Church of the Holy Cross), Aberporth, Tresaith, Penbryn, Llangrannog, Newquay and Poppit Sands, all within easy driving distance. Shoppers, pubbers and restaurant goers have plenty of picks in Cardigan town (10 minutes' drive) as well as a golf club, swimming pool, the Theatre Mwldan and the Custom House shop and gallery. For something more strenuous, both the Ceredigion Coast Path and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path are accessible from Cardigan. Cardigan Bay stayers could also check out some Welsh history at St Dogmaels Abbey, Cilgerran Castle and the National Wool Museum, splash around Cenarth Falls and the National Coracle Centre, and see yet more animals at the Welsh Wildlife Centre, with its nature trails, willow maze, water buffalo and giant willow badger.
