A note from the site themselves...

We look forward to welcoming you to our campsite by the sea. Carreg y Gwynt Campsite is surrounded by wildlife and farm animals. It has some stunning views of welsh countryside and of Cardigan Bay.

We are very proud of our camping field. During the winter our sheep graze and in early spring it becomes a maternity ward during lambing season. Once the days lengthen, and the Starlings fly back to Siberia, our dairy cows flex their hooves and gallop the track from the yard to enjoy their first lush blades of grass at the Carreg y Gwynt Spring buffet!

They then munch, lounge and play all spring until on the first day of June, the "buffet" closes for a little while. The field then has a rest.

In early summer sun, green vegetation grows tall and thick. After this period of calm restfulness, it is harvest time at Carreg y Gwynt. Cut grass is sun dried in the sea breeze and only when the air is sweet, it is harvested to the barns.

A welcome store of summer scented sustenance for the cows during those bleak and bare winter months. After harvesting, the campsite opens it's gates to friends and visitors looking for a few simple days of camping and exploring this beautiful area.

Walking, cycling, relaxing, swimming and sunbathing on Cardigan Bays' cute little beaches are often the attraction to Carreg y Gwynt.

Later, as the hedgerows bronze and all our visitors farewell, the cows return to Carreg y Gwynt. For one last spell they see out their green adventures in the long, warm days. The seasons change. The cooling westerly wind turns a shivering Atlantic howl. The cows huddle to the cosy barns and dream of their next adventure to Carreg y Gwynt....

Loved our stay at Carreg y Gwynt. The facilities are great - especially loved the toilet made out of two IBC's. The view is spectacular and the family are lovely. We especially loved Nel the dog who wanted to come away with us! We were especially grateful that we could stay as it was a very last minute booking. Thank you very much Overall great location and easy to find.

Motorhome - Non Electric Grass Touring PitchesAug 2022

Peaceful spot, with plenty of room to park up and a beautiful beach nearby. The walk to the beach is approximately 10 minutes down a cliff side and hill climb back. Would suggest maybe a play area for children.

Amazing site!

Lovely location with amazing views of the coast and it is the perfect place to watch the sunrise and sunset! The campsite gives a 'wild camping' vibe with limited facilities. The owners were really friendly and helpful. We will 100% be returning again.
