Sun of a Pitch (2 at Nantgwynfaen Organic Farm Camping)

A very peaceful secluded elongated pitch (5mx15m), with fantastic views suitable for a medium size tent or two small tents.  With no camping neighbours within view it is west-facing to make the most of the evening sunset at its best.  It overlooks a dramatic steep valley, with buzzards and red kites swooping at eye-level. Perched at the top of a wild meadow there is just the abundant wildlife and birds to watch.  There is a fire bowl on the pitch and the farm gate at the entrance helps to contain pets and children (but please note the other side is completely open to the valley). This pitch has a private flushing toilet a short walk away (approx. 100m).  Nearby there is a cool outdoor shower (with warm water) with canvas and hedge walls and a washing up sink, both private to this pitch only.   Car parking is nearby (you can unload at the gate (please do not drive onto the pitch) and park in the carpark opposite.  There are walks in all directions.  Please note, the bell tent in the photo is not included – so don’t forget to bring a tent with you (Max 5M wide). Note there is a steep slope adjacent to the pitch.

Nantgwynfaen Organic Farm is a very special place. It is a working farm with sheep and sometimes cattle in the summer. It is just so peaceful – a place to unwind and listen to the birds. Each camping pitch is carefully laid out in their own private space with only the green countryside to soak up. It is a quiet family-friendly site suitable for families, couples, retired couples and anyone who just loves the great outdoors. BBQs & Campfires welcome and each pitch has a firepit.   

There is a large games barn, with table tennis, pool and a darts board (bring your own darts).  The farm shop is well stocked with local and organic produce as well as charcoal and firewood. Dogs are most welcome.

The communal toilet and shower facilities are located on the farmyard in a stylish zinc building, where there is free hot water. There is a dish washing sink and drainer, an open-air wash hand basin for face, teeth and hands; a shower cubicle with a quirky watering can shower; and a toilet and sink cubicle.  There is a fridge and a freezer for freezing blocks.  Note: some camping pitches have private toilet and shower facilities (Sun of a Pitch, Love at First Site & I Got 99 Problems But A Pitch Ain’t One).

The farm is well situated for exploring Cardigan Bay, with Aberaeron to Cardigan; and Carmarthen to Lampeter all within a half hour drive.  The River Teifi, Newcastle Emlyn, The National Woollen Museum are all very local.

There is a village shop and gastro pub nearby. Shops and fuel in Llandysul and Newcastle Emlyn is conveniently located with all amenities.

As well as the camping pitches at Nantgwynfaen there is other accommodation available for those who want a break from canvas.  For glamping there is The Glamavan (the retro chic static caravan which sleeps up to 5).  Ty Nodyn is a quirky cottage on the farmyard with a 'piano bed', a ship’s ladder and log burner (sleeps 3+1) and the log cabin - Ty Mamgu (Grandma's House) is a romantic retreat for 2 with a real piano and cosy log burner.  There is also accommodation in the stone farmhouse where you will find a double room with a sweet adjoining private kitchen called Y Parlwr Bach (the little parlour).  There is also a second double bedroom (room only), The Room At The Top (so a maximum of 4 can sleep in the farmhouse).  Contact Nantgwynfaen direct discuss the options.
