This campsite is in a great location, just a quick walk from Aberaeron town centre, along the sea wall. It is being rebuilt, but is still fully accessible. Accessing the site by road is easy as the drive from the main road is wide and has a fantastic surface.
The site is level (unlike some of next door) and consists of one large field, with a fence dividing it into two. The pitches are around the edge of the field, with plenty of room in the middle of the field. There are no facilities for children, but I'm sure that there is plenty of room for old fashioned fun. There are electric hookups, which cost £4 per night extra in the summer, and £2 per night at other times. The washing facilities are all one block. There are three showers, four toilets and sinks in the ladies, and I presume the same in the gents. The elsan point is to the back of the block. There are two outside sinks, with cold water - we used one to top up our water, and others did their washing up in them, bringing hot water from the taps in the washrooms. If I was to improve this site, I'd put water standpipes elsewhere on site, and make a washing up area. Saying that, if you are in a camper or caravan, then it's fine.
I love the location, the friendliness of the staff and find it good value. It is nice and quiet and the only site where I watched boats race at the end of the field whilst having brekkie. We left the van on site for a day and walked into the town.
If I was going to / when I return Aberaeron, I'd definitely stay here again.
Found this site and the review left was good and we decided to use it for this years vacation. Arrived at site to a friendly welcome and was able to choose our pitch - close to the beach so able to hear the waves as we slept! a nice dry flat site easy to put up tent. Clean toilets with good showers - lots of hot water. Short walk to Aberaeron along the beach. Close to facilities in Aberaeron so easy to shop on a daliy basis when we returned from our days out.
All in all an excellent site which we would recommend to anybody. E-mailed Tom and got a quick response to our e-mail.
We have just returned from an 8 night stay at this site two adults and two children (ages 9 and 12).
This site is a very relaxed one (I never met the owner in the 9 days we were there), whether that is good or bad is up to you.
The showers a basic (a converted barn that enables you to look up to the sky while you are showering) but they are free and hot - there are only three of them though so be prepared to wait each morning as there are at least 100 pitches on this site - the toilets were OK not the best I have seen and didn't flush very good so you always had to flush before use!
For the tent users out there (we used to camp so we notice the facilities) all you have to wash your dishes etc is an old fashioned sink attached to the side of the ladies toilets with a tap above (no shelter, no draining board to put you dishes) nothing - in fact I did see a few campers washing there dishes in the ladies hand basins in the toilets.
The site is made up of two very large fields with pitches right the way around both fields - there is no play area for the children, in fact if you do have children be prepared to have to play rounders, cricket, fly kites etc etc with the children every evening (with a glass of wine in the other hand!) as there really is nothing else for them to do, the safety of our children was not a problem as they are 9 and 12 but if they were younger then it would be a great concern as there is no security on this site and as it is right on the beach front anyone could enter and leave without a second glance.
As the previous reviewer mentioned there is sea defence work going on at the moment but what they didn't mention is that from 7.00am most mornings they start work and work with the tide so they stopped work at 1pm approx and then they were back in the evening until about 8pm and they are noisy and dusty (so a lie in is impossible) and a relaxing drink is too come to that because you have to talk over the noise of the JCBs - on saying that we were in the first field on pitch 18 which was one of the closest to the sea front so maybe the noise wasn't quite as bad further away.
The site was quite easy to find, it is only a 5 minute walk into Aberaeron where there are several pubs, shops and fish shops - there is also a lovely little harbour where our children loved catching crabs - you can walk along the sea front to town.
A word of warning though - we thought we would call into a supermarket when we got there but we found that there are only two and they are both about 25 miles from this site in opposite directions Tesco in Cardigan and Morrisons in Aberystwyth so take supplies with you for the first night!
Newquay is about a 20 minute drive away which is very pretty, Cwmtudu (about 25 mins) is a beautiful little beach where we were lucky enough to see a seal who kept popping his head up to look at us.
There is a dog walk on this site - well it's actually a lane between this site and the site next to it.
Would we return to this site - yes but without the children, not for such a long stay and also when all the sea defence work has been completed!
Just back from our first ever camping trip, numbered pitches nicely spaced each with a bin. We were pitched near to sink and tap in the field. Clean shower and toilet block ( 3 showers) not very busy whilst we were there but can imagine if the site is busy then there could be a wait for facilities. Kids had loads of space to play ball games, site right next to a stoney beach, currently undergoing coastal defence work but can still hear the lovely sound of the sea. 5 min walk along coastal path into the pretty town of Aberaeron. Second night experienced gale force winds, tent survived but husband reckons he is scarred for life! Tom, site owner came round the following morning to check how we had survived the night, which was nice.
If looking for great base for getting around Ceredigion then would definitely recommend.
We visit here every August Bank Holiday weekend for the carnival and rugby 7s. It is ideal for walking into Aberaeron along the coast path which you can access from the site. The site is very reasonable with free hot showers. These can be very busy on the bank holiday weekend but not if you time it right!
The pitches are well spaced out and there is plenty of room for children (or dogs!) to play. There is no children's playground.
There is a garage at the main entrance to the site but the other shops are about a 5 minute walk away. The only downfall is there is no dishwashing area.
Tom`s place! (that`s what we call it anyway) we love it here, very convenient for walking into Aberaeron along coast path accessed directly from the site(also the beach) which is undergoing sea defence work at the moment, this does not affect the site at all. Very reasonable prices, free hot showers, lots of ehu`s and very well spaced pitches, dogs welcome and lots of space for children to play. There is a garage just down from the entrance to the site for your morning paper, although Aberaeron is just a stroll away with it`s lovely harbour and plenty of shops etc etc etc. The toilets and showers are always spotless! A nice flat field with pitching around the edge, with the middle left as open space, which is nice! rather than being crammed in! We started visiting here in our tent, and it was the first place we visited in our motorhome which we have had for over 5 years, so I would suggest it is somewhat of an addiction that we visit! And always made so welcome even at last minute by Tom and his family!
