Why stay here ...
There's very much a water-themed aspect to Shawsmead Club Site as its close proximity to the coast and quaint little bays means swimming and water sports will be filling up much of your holiday time here. A peaceful meadowland caravan site, you'll feel positively tiny amongst the vast open areas and wondrous views towards the coast.
Shawsmead Club Site, situated next to the lovely village of Derwen-Gam, is also close to the Heritage Coastal Paths - a memorable experience as is the fishing and bird watching available. Along the coast, there are plenty of beaches and little coves to explore. Four golf courses nearby and the local craft centres will keep the senses stimulated. Its locality in Llanarth, Oakford means that you're never far away from the delights of the area. The caravan park is close to Aberaeron, an old-fashioned small town with a sleepy harbour, pebbled beach and Regency cottages painted in pastel shades. New Quay will resonate with the artist within you with a backdrop that comes straight out of an oil painting. It's better known as a traditional fishing village where fish, lobsters and crab are part of the daily catch.

Lovely site, shame about the warden
Shawsmead Caravan Club Site
We have stayed here three times as we love the peace and quiet and yes we have children! We keep the kids entertained so not having a play area is not a big deal, however it's always a bonus to have a dedicated area for kids to play and have fun. This site does not have any area for kids to play, so keep this in mind if you have children. The site is close to New Quay and Aberaeron, both places we love to visit. The site is very peaceful and the block is always warm and very clean. Our only negative was the attitude of the warden, he was very bossy and rude and his overall presence was a bit scary. He was always waiting for someone to step out of line so he could give them a good telling off!!! Shame really as we like the site but his attitude has put us off.
Lovely little site
Shawsmead Caravan Club Site
Stayed here for 2 nights on our ‘tour of Wales’. Lovely quiet, small site, nestled in rolling green countryside with plenty of wildlife around (including red kites!). Sheltered location out of the wind with lots of hardstandings. Wardens very warm and friendly and not excessively ‘COVID-phobic’ (unlike some others we have encountered in Wales). Restriction were properly applied here, but not in a way that made your stay uncomfortable. Easy drive to New Quay and other picturesque spots on the the nearby coastline. Great for a peaceful break from the ‘rat race’ but we would imagine it would be unsuitable for families with young children. I’m sure we’ll be back!
Lovely site and very friendly staff
Shawsmead Caravan Club Site
Some mixed reviews made us slightly nervous, but what a very nice surprise. Very quiet location and clearly not the best site for children as some have said, but if you look at the information, you would know what to expect! The staff were very friendly and helpful and the facilities were maintained spotlessly. Good for visiting some lovely spots along the coast and inland. Would certainly return if back that way again.
An Excellent Site
Shawsmead Caravan Club Site
We booked Shawsmead as we needed somewhere fairly near to home to give our 2 youngest grandchildren experience of sleeping in our Camper and in a small tent, prior to taking them to France next year (hopefully). Two days after booking, our son drew our attention to a small number of reviews critical of the site staff in relation thier attitude to children.
Having spent two nights at Shawsmead, We have nothing but praise for the staff at this well run site. It is spotlessly clean and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Both grandchildren felt very comfortable at the site and wnat to go back again. Certainly we will be returning to this oasis of calm as a couple in the future.
It is in the country and there is no childrens play area as the site is not big enough, but it is a short drive to the coast and all it has to offer. Please, do not let the small number of critics put you off what is an excellent site.

where do I start.................. if you have children AVOID
Shawsmead Caravan Club Site
Not at all child friendly and to be honest was made very clear the warden dislikes children and families with children!
We got told NOT to call him a warden he is a MANAGER
he also told us a family of 2 adults and one very well behaved child 'that he doesn't give two monkeys about reviews (his words not mine) he has been doing this job for over 20 years and doesn't need to care about reviews" we was made to feel so unwelcome that after 7 days of our 16 day holiday we packed up and left!
I can honestly say if this had been my first experience of the caravan club I would be cancelling my membership, we have been a member for several years now and have luckily never come across this type of warden or MANAGER as he liked to be addressed
I will be making a full complaint direct to the caravan club after all we pay for our membership and we pay for our stays at caravan club sites and certainly don't expect to be treated in such a rude manner.
