  • 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 foodie 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.

Bell tent (basic)

Liked: The campsite was lovely and quiet, 2 camping fields with just a handful of campers.
It was clean and tidy, pitches seem to be well spaced out.
Showers and toilets were clean, showers were lovely and hot!
Plenty of bins around the site, recycling encouraged...wash up areas and access to water no problem at all. Also a little cooking area with a gas stove and some pots and pans if needed!
We usually take our own tent but for such a short break we opted for a basic unfurnished bell tent which turned out to be a great option! It included the tent, a firepit and a cooking stand for over the fire, we had a great time!
The views are beautiful, lots of Red Kites flying around, plus owls at night. Dark skies too so star gazing was fabulous!
Mobile signal was good....It's really easy to get to and the local town has a couple of supermarkets and some lovely little shops - about 5 minutes drive away if that.
The owners are a lovely couple who genuinely couldn't do more for you, they were an absolute pleasure and so thoughtful.

3 bedroom mobile home

Liked: Bell tent was set up with everything you need. Also a shared kitchen so you could get away without bringing any extra bits is you needed to. Owner was very friendly and there were plenty of fields to explore close by. Bathrooms were really good and painted rocks were a very nice touch too

FHU grass campsite

Liked: Quiet site with plenty of fields around and countryside to walk the dog. Big pitches with toilets and a shower block. Owner was friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Entrance and exit is tight and narrow and we had to shunt the caravan back a couple of times to get out without hitting the bank on the way out.

Local attractions

First stop may well be a day at the coast. Gather everybody up and head for New Quay (half an hour’s drive) with its cute fishing harbour and pocket-sized beach, or choose Aberaeron (25 minutes) to admire its brightly coloured houses and go swimming or sailing. At Aberystwyth (45 minutes) you can take a ride on the cliff railway for wondrous views over Cardigan Bay. At each of these ports of call, there are cafés and restaurants for revitalising after splashing around on the beach. Carmarthen (40 minutes) is a lovely spot to spend the day, with the remains of an ancient Roman amphitheatre, indoor artisan markets and lots of art galleries as well as indie boutiques selling jewellery and crafts. If you have time, take a detour to the Carmarthenshire County Museum in nearby Abergwili (40 minutes) to learn about local Arthurian legends. If you’d like to buy some Welsh souvenirs, plan a visit to In The Welsh Wind Distillery (35 minutes) to pick up some gin, or take home some local honey, beeswax and seeds from Gwenyn Gruffydd honey farm (45 minutes).
