  • 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, Bargoed Farm 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.

Michelle T. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced concrete and grass site (large)

Liked: Bistro, bar, play areas all on site with plans to extend to a water park in the future. Pitches level and large. Hot tub pitches looked amazing. Can have campfire. Free showers and clean facilities. Dog friendly and dog wash on site. Washing and drying machines too. Close to coast to walk. Aberaeron very nearby and worth the visit as was New Quay beach. Staff so friendly too.

Disliked: Showers not too powerful but free so not a complaint.
WiFi dropped off a few times but free so again, no complaint.
Bistro booked up quickly as it’s open to the public.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass site

Liked: The site was so big and had everything you needed. Great for kids, a little busy for me though. Staff were friendly. And even popped back into get take out coffee after touring wales. Returned as was so good 🥰

Disliked: No plugs in the dressing area. Coin operated hairdryers 😓

Who carries coins? 😱

Also some music / radio playing in the shower block would sort the embarrassing noises many don’t want to share out loud 😅😂 it works in so many other campsites.

Colin W. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced concrete and grass site (large)

Liked: The pitch was huge and well kept and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. The Moody Cow bistro was very nice and reasonably priced but it is advisable to book. The food was exceptional (and I am very fussy) the site is dog friendly and good for families. The local bus stops just outside the site but there were road works on at the time of our visit so the next bus stop was 5 minutes walk down the road near the Texaco garage. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this site to anyone

Disliked: nothing

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.
