  • Family-friendly Ceredigion campsite with spectacular Irish Sea views
  • Penbryn Beach five minutes’ drive; National Wool Museum 20 minutes
  • Dog-friendly site with a secure exercise area; pub 10 minutes’ drive
A combination of Irish Sea panoramas and the proximity of a choice of beaches for the kids makes Plas Y Wern an irresistible family-friendly Ceredigion camping choice. Set on seven acres of farmland high on a headland, the camping fields all share the same stunning coastal views, and when the skies are clear at dusk you can expect colourful sunsets over the waves as well. Your four-legged friends are welcome on site, and there’s a secure field for exercising them, plus lots of walkies options on several beaches within a short drive. In fact, there’s a bunch of stuff to do in the locality with or without dogs. Tresaith (10 minutes’ drive) offers up a sandy beach backed by a waterfall cascading down dramatic cliff sides. Kids can enjoy hours of rock pooling when the tide is out, or you can join the Ceredigion Coast Path for a jaunt along the clifftops. Other family days out might include dolphin-spotting cruises from New Quay (20 minutes) or a visit to the medieval cathedral in teeny St Davids (about an hour), the smallest city in Wales. When you return to home base in the evening, there’s the welcome prospect of refreshing in the power shower with bags of hot water. No need to worry about breakfast the following morning either, as you can pre-order ‘full Welsh’ packs of locally produced goodies for the family to fill up on. If you’re not big on self-catering, head for the pub in Tresaith or the eateries in Aberporth (10 minutes) to keep everyone well fed.

What customers say

Praised for stunning views, peaceful vibe, and super clean facilities with spacious showers. Owners are friendly, coastal path access is great, and WiFi's good. Some tent pitches are sloped & the single toilet/shower could be busy peak season.

Liked Outstanding views, secure dog field, fantastic hosts in Lianne & Steve

Disliked Uneven pitches however Steve did say he plans to resurface and flatten them in the future, also the chemical waste is a small pipe outlet and could really do with a bigger outlet plus it's next to the dishes sink

Good size pitches
Facilities high standard and immaculately clean
Great free WiFi, excellent tv signal

Disliked Grass/ sloped pitches, did struggle in the wet condition to get onto chocks.

toilet/ shower in one room so toilet is inaccessible when somebody is showering.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: That's fantastic to hear you enjoyed the incredible views, convenient location, and the warm welcome from Lianne and the team! We're also glad our pitches were a good size and that you found the facilities high standard and immaculately clean, with great free WiFi and excellent TV signal.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the sloped pitches and the combined toilet/shower rooms. We understand that wet conditions can make it challenging to get onto chocks on sloped areas, and we'll certainly take this into consideration for future improvements. We also understand your point about the accessibility of the toilet when the shower is in use.

Thank you for your valuable review – we hope to welcome you back again soon!
