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.

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.
Fantastic site!

Shawsmead Club CampsiteThe 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 .
