We understood no bins were on the location, but ourselves and many others did comment that a bin of some description should be provided whether wheelie or commercial, as it dosent take long for seagulls and magpies to patrol the field. It's ok taking rubbish to place in outer bins when going off for the day, but when you're on holiday and hitting the beach, it's not ideal to carry bags each day and locating a bin on your travels. Taking home rubbish as suggested isn't ideal when you're on holiday. When we enquired to the owner just to make sure there wasn't a bin, we got a reply to take it home, is that a problem? Maybe not a big thing to some but on a holiday for a few days, cooking etc, it dosent take long to build up waste, but specially with children. Other than that the provision of heavy duty stoves in the kitchen area was a godsend at times. Toilets generally clean, was expecting portaloos, to find they were static was even better. We do many campsites, so have been to less provisions and better. Overall good campsite, quiet! Generous sized pitches, ideally waste provisions would be more hygienic. Would consider again.

Convenient to Aberystwyth about 1.5 miles. Quiet grass pitch, firm after rain. Showers and loos clean. Can get to Aberystwyth by going down Clarach Bay and walking over hill. Signage to site could be larger, but we found it!

Things to do on site and in the Aberystwyth area
A tranquil location for exploring the scenic West Wales coastline. Take the coastal path from Aberystwyth or Borth and head to Clarach, taking in the views as you go, head down at dusk for stunning sunsets. There are also great cycle links from the site with the Nant yr Arian biking trail nearby.
Ideally located for relaxing days at the beach, just a 15 minute walk from Clarach Bay and within a ten minute drive of both Aberystwyth and Borth beaches. Slightly further afield (just a 15 minute drive) is Ynyslas National Nature Reserve with it wild sand dunes and wind swept estuary beach.
There are some great attractions nearby too. Particularly great for those rainy day are the Aberystwyth Art Centre and Ceredigion Museum.
Other nearby attractions include:
- Aberystwyth Cliff Railway (10 minutes)
- Vale of Rheidol Railway (10 minutes)
- Aberystwyth Castle Grounds (10 minutes)
