Why stay here ...

LOW 10% refundable deposit plus FREE cancellations and FREE amendments*

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.

Pleasant and Quiet

Shawsmead Club Campsite

The wardens go above and beyond to ensure your stay is as comfortable and easy as it can be. A perfect site for access to the coast or inland. We had three nights, and it was so relaxing and restorative. If you like peace and quiet, this site gives it to you. Thank you.

Well run site great wardens

Shawsmead Club Campsite
We just had a nice stay at Shawsmead . We have stayed a few times before and find the site to be clean and tidy . The wardens are very helpful , polite and work hard to make your stay an enjoyable one. The site is in the perfect place for easy access to the coastline with so many things to do . Though we don’t have a dog here is a dog walk though small , “is ideal for dog business”, We had a lovely meal at the Llainina Arms just 10 minutes away, we really enjoyed it .

Fantastic caring staff

Shawsmead Club Campsite
During our stay with our caravan in June, my husband became very unwell with an infection. The two relief staff members Fiona and Martin, were very kind and helpful to us. Martin helped with us having to leave the caravan behind on site until it could be delivered back to our home by green flag mayday (not so good on service, no communication leading to extra stress). Fantastic clean facilities, and extremely hot water for washing up. Many thanks again to Fiona and Martin for all your help.

Lovely Quiet Site

Shawsmead Club Campsite
Spent two nights here in June 2023. It is a well kept site and easy to find. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The pitches are well positioned and you have different options - shade, sunny etc. Facilities very clean and well maintained. The only improvement would be a food van or shop as there isn't much around locally to do. We are in a motorhome so we would have to take the van out if we wanted to find somewhere to eat so something onsite or that came to the site would be welcomed. We had two dogs and walked them mainly around the site as the site is surrounded by country roads with no footpath so have to take care. That said, if you turn right and walk less than 5 mins up the lane, you can follow a public bridleway for a nice walk.
