Why stay here ...

Secure your 2024 or 2025 holiday with only a £5 deposit*

There's very much a water-themed aspect to Shawsmead Club Campsite 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 campsite, you'll feel positively tiny amongst the vast open areas and wondrous views towards the coast.

Shawsmead Club Campsite in Wales situated next to the lovely village of Derwen-Gam, and is 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 campsite 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.

A superb site in every way

Shawsmead Club Campsite
A simply wonderful site if you’re looking for rural, peaceful, walking, cycling, running and visiting coast and mountain. Could hear a pin drop night and day- red kite and owls and lovely lanes surrounding the site. No traffic noise. Poor tv reception and poor club Wi-Fi, but ok 4G on O2. We had a wonderfully restorative week here

Lovely little gem!

Shawsmead Club Campsite
The site is perfect and we will go back, unfortunately I was unwell so we couldn’t maximise our stay but the wardens were really helpful. The facilities were warm and clean! The different levels allowed everyone to have a nice view. Site really well kept and looked after with care.

lovely and peaceful

Shawsmead Club Campsite
Lovely site, very helpful team. Facilities were spotless, and closed at a sensible time for a change. Pitches on two tiers, giving somewhat of a view. As others have said, its miles from anywhere, so you need to use your van or car to visit places. Howevrr, if you are looking for peace and quiet, then this is the place to be. I was working remotely, so ideal for me. I loved that there were lots of Red Kites on the campsite, and a camper was feeding them, which was quite a show. Made my visit. New Quay is neaby, and id recommend Church Road carpark ... you can even overnight in this carpark, but watch that hill coming back, its steep.
