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 food 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.

This isn’t a place for drive-in, drive-out holidays. It’s for staying, relaxing and enjoying nature.
More 'nearly wild' in farming countryside, than manicured sectioned areas.
Enclosed paddocks, no nearby roads, and only the gentle hum of a distant train from across the canal, this is countryside relaxation at its finest.
Watch the canal boats drift by, or go for a walk or cycle on the network of paths beside them. If your feeling adventurous, take a paddleboard or canoe onto the water, or hire a longboat for the day.
Walk to the nearby dog friendly, local pubs, or a short drive there are many options of restaurants, from country pubs to fine dining of all different cultures including takeaways. Or stay onsite with a BBQ, campsite cooking or firepit.
Supermarkets, farm shops, garden centres, national trust, activity parks and many other off site places to visit within close proximity, such as historic Chester or the monkeys at Trentham Garden.
You can book experiences with the animals we have on site, horses, alpacas, pygmy goats, sheep, rescue hens and our own dogs love a fuss.
Your dogs are very welcome, including reactive and exempt dogs. We have enclosed 1 acre paddocks for you to stay.
With a choice of paddock or hardstanding pitches, we can accommodate you whatever the weather.
We have a glamping tent with a full size double bed available to hire. This can sleep 6 with additional beds. Subtle solar lighting, table and chairs, blankets and cushions to sit outside in the evenings and watch the sunset.
We are perfect for a technology detox, while we have electricity on site to charge your phones, there is no electric to the pitches.
Use of a fridge freezer, small kitchen area with hot water, shower bay and mains water.

Beautiful location, really lovely little barn with all basic amenities. Only issue is it was a bit hard to find at first, though John was always happy to help with any queries we had. We were a little surprised to see it wasn’t as private as we expected - the barn is attached to the owner’s house and has family members regularly walking by. Absolutely fine of course, just would have been nice to know (particularly as there’s a window that looks right in to the bathroom!)
Overall we had a wonderful stay, and have absolutely fallen in love with North Wales.

Wow what an incredible stay! The camping barn is really lovely, with everything you need. The location is absolutely beautiful and feels like you’re own little hideaway, but still with easy access and perfect for exploring Llyn Peninsula. Will definitely be heading back, John was super helpful with any questions we had. Thank you!

I loved staying in the barn at John's place. The land, woods, trees and vibe of the place is magical. It feels like you're outside but with all the luxury of a beautiful stone shelter. The fire was very warm, I would take John's advice about the type of wood to use as we tried others and they didn't fit! Magical views from the hot tub too. I couldn't recommend this place enough, especially for people with dogs.

What a wonderful little parcel of solitude hidden away in the Welsh hills. Surrounded by bird song and wildlife as you wake up. As close to wild camping as you'll get, without justing packing your bag and heading into the Peaks. Tim was lovely, full of suggestions, and the site has information all around with recommendations for walks. Looking forward the heading back when summer is in full force!

Weekend Trip to Y Llew Bach Cottage
Absolutely beautiful stay - has everything you need and then some! Beautiful views all round . Such a friendly and welcoming host. We would absolutely recommend trying some of the food in the pub - amazing ! The pub is very homely too.
The cottage also had a vast variety of games and dvds to enjoy if you feel like being ‘unplugged’ , the host also provided a large folder of walks/hikes which you are allowed to take with you .
Big bonus - DOG FRIENDLY!
I could go on for ages about how much we enjoyed our stay .
