Ffynnonwen Farm Wild Camping

The camping on offer at Ffynnonwen Farm is refreshingly simple. Book a pitch here and you’ll have lots of space, very few neighbours, and excellent views towards the Cambrian Mountains. You can buy eggs for your breakfast, logs for your campfire, and you’ll have lovely welcoming hosts. This is a small and friendly Hipcamp on an eight-acre smallholding looked after by Mark and Karen, whose chickens, geese, sheep, pigs and pygmy goats all add to the charm.

Pitches here are all grassy, off grid, and unrestricted in terms of space and shape. You can simply pitch where you please in the meadow that’s set aside for campers. Tents, campervans, motorhomes, and dogs are all welcome. An indoor toilet and hot shower are provided in Karen and Mark's home, which is a short walk from the pitches. But it’s worth noting this is locked overnight and a simple camp toilet in the field suffices—so don’t forget your torch. Those who will like it here wouldn’t do anything of the sort. This is a campsite best suited to those who are self sufficient and come prepared. It’s nearly wild camping after all.

The site itself offers plenty of scenic spots for picnics and you are welcome to walk among its wildflower meadows. Your hosts highly recommend walking a little further too. Less than half a mile from their fields is Llyn Eiddwen, a nearby lake and nature reserve and Site of Scientific Special Interest. The site is just a few miles inland from Ceredigion Bay on the west Welsh coast and the pretty harbour town of Aberaeron is just 11 miles away. You can enjoy fresh seafood overlooking the sea or head out for a walk on the Wales Coast Path. Further south at New Quay, you can join dolphin-watching boat trips too.
