About Firecrest Valley Glamping
Take a step away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and feel completely at one with nature at this off-grid and eco-friendly site. While the location has a rural feel, the sights of West Wales are within easy reach, just half an hour to the stunning coast or ten minutes to the pretty town of Newcastle Emlyn.
There's plenty of space for campers and the site offers a pitch where you like policy in the camping field so you can find the best spot for you and your family with plenty of space all around you. The pitches are non-electric and are surrounded by hedgerows, shrubs and saplings to encourage wildlife.
The site is home to six furnished bell tents, offering all you could possibly need with comfortable double beds, two futons and soft furnishings such as bean bags and rugs. You will also be provided with cooking utensils, pans, crockery a kettle and an outside area with a picnic table and a fire pit with one bag of wood provided.
You will just need to bring your bedding, pillows and towels. Bell tents each have dedicated toilets and showers.
All of the tents can sleep up four, there are five 5m bell tents, Jay, Woodpecker, Robin, Sparrowhawk and Barn Owl. The Luna tent, Tawny Owl is also a 5m tent but the higher sides of this tent's design result in a more spacious feel.
All the tents are pitched in three different areas of the site which is ideal for small group bookings as you can make base in what feels like your own private space. Or, if you're looking for somewhere to reconnect with a larger group or perhaps there's a celebration to be had then you can hire the site out exclusively.
Enjoy stone baked pizzas every Wednesday and Saturday evening, plus fresh pancakes served every Tuesday and Sunday morning - the perfect treat! There is also a small shop onsite if you've forgotten any essentials.
There is a covered seating area with space for your evening meal and board games for a family games night! Little ones will also have plenty of space to run off some steam and a play area with swings and a sandpit, perfect for meeting other guests!

A note from the site themselves...
Our site is the perfect place to connect with nature and spend quality time relaxing as a family or group of friends. The site is wonderfully spacious and since we began in 2018, we have done everything we can to encourage the nature and wildlife of the site to flourish. The site is off grid and eco-friendly, something that is very important to us.
As a family who love camping and glamping, everything we have on site, we have designed with families in mind. We have a play area for the kids, along with plenty of space for free range fun.
Spacious grass pitches in the large camping fields without electric hook up. Suitable for tents only.

Bell Tent - Furnished Luna Lotus Belle TentMay 2024
Stunning place to stay, with a lot of outside space and a park for our children to play which they absolutely loved. Could easily bring a bat and ball and avoid coming into contact with people.
Toilets/showers were lovely and clean and also the communal area where you could go to wash dishes and cook was lovely and clean too.
We were greeted and given some wood for the fire and they were lovely. You can also get more wood and ice packs at the back of the communal shed for £5 which was easy enough to do.
We did ask for a cot on the original booking but didn't get one, but it was fine as he slept in between us so wasn't a huge problem so we didn't feel the need to bring it up. If you need one may be worth asking them if they have them on site.
There are two shops fairly local too which have mostly everything you'd need, including for younger children (Calpol, baby food, marshmallows and sticks) and also a lovely little chippy (come out of the grounds, turn left and left again and then just follow the road). We will definitely come back as a family and just as a couple.
Wonderful break

Bell Tent - Furnished Bell TentsAug 2023
This was our first ever experience with an eco campsite and we loved it!!!
My son had gone away to the Isle of Wight for a few days with my mother in law, so we decided to book a short trip away with our daughter, we looked at a couple of different sites that offer the bell tents as accommodation, and this one took to our liking due to location and overall look of the site. Upon arrival we were greeted by Gary, a really friendly guy and he give us a tour of the accommodation and our own toilet and shower area, which are individual to the name of the bell tent you're staying in (only you use those facilities and are not shared with other guests). The toilet/shower area was beautifully clean and tidy and the system itself was genius in the design.
*TAKE A TORCH/HEADLAMP WITH YOU IF YOU NEED TO WALK TO THE TOILET WHEN ITS DARK* (good lighting inside the toilet/shower area)
The tent was more than adequate in size, clean and more importantly comfortable with the bed and fouton arrangements (own bedding and pillows needed). A cooler box, with ice packs were available, the kettle, cups, cutlery and utensils were really handy for cooking on the fire pit (read instructions on when/how to use the fire pit which are laminated within the tent. There is an area with 2 separate gas cookers with 4 hobs on each to boil the kettle or cook on as cooking on the fire pit can be weather dependent.
There are fire pits outside each of the bell tents plus other communal fire pits available around the campsite (bag of wood given free on arrival, and money for additional bags is put in the "HONESTY BOX" please don't give anything less and keep the bags that they come in to be reused). It was spectacular sat there with the fire roaring while looking up at the stars on a clear night, I've never seen so many!!
There is a lovely area with a a few swings and plenty of room to kick a ball about around the site too.
Newcastle Emlyn town is not too far away, just a short 5/10 minute car journey, a few handy shops in and around the town with plenty of choice of take away options. We popped in to the bunch of grapes a couple of times and the staff were friendly and the food smelt and looked amazing.
We did venture down to Poppit beach and Cardigan town centre which offers more of a shopping choice, which took us around 20-30 minutes in the car to get too.
All in all a very enjoyable experience and would definitely recommend, nothing was too much trouble and Becca was fantastic with answering questions on the phone number provided and was always answered if we had any questions leading up to the booking and if we needed anything physically when on the site.
Thank you both, will definitely book again soon, good luck with the rest of the season.
An enjoyable weekend

Bell Tent - Furnished Luna Lotus Belle TentSep 2022
We stayed here for 3 nights in a Bell Tent and were the only ones on site all weekend, which was a bonus.
We were provided with all the cutlery and pans, a kettle, a cool box with fresh ice blocks each day and a bag of logs for the firepit.
Shower was warm and the bed was quite comfy.
A decent location, around 20 mins drive to Newquay and Aberporth.
Local shop a 5 minute drive.
