A campsite near Aberystwyth
About The Old Goginan
Tucked into the hills above Aberystwyth, The Old Goginan occupies a peaceful former mining village site with open views across the Ceredigion countryside. It's a straightforward, no-frills spot that appeals to campers after simplicity and space rather than manicured facilities – pitches are generous and the atmosphere refreshingly laid-back.
The location proves ideal for exploring both coast and hills: Aberystwyth's Victorian seafront lies just twenty minutes down the valley, while Bwlch Nant yr Arian forest and the Cambrian Mountains rise immediately behind. Facilities are basic but adequate, and while the site can feel a touch tired in places, most visitors appreciate the tranquillity and good value. A solid, unpretentious base for discovering mid-Wales without the crowds.
