  • Small, family-run wildlife haven 12 miles from Aberystwyth
  • Tregaron and Cors Caron nature reserve about 10 minutes' drive
  • Friendly owners, dog-walking area and clean amenities
Ever been to the Aeron valley near Aberystwyth? It's really rather lush – so much so that local lyricist Dylan Thomas named his daughter Aeronwy after the river here (what a poetic parent). The valley's a birdwatching haven that amateur ornithologists flock to, although you won't have to stir far to see local flyers if you stay at small family-run Aeron View Camping… the park is often frequented by red kites. If you'd like to see them, guests can ask at the house. Owners Sue and Alex oversee this wildlife-lover's site, which has all the essentials (including a washing-up area, toilets and showers) plus a few added extras like a dedicated dog-walking area (with free biodegradable bags available at reception to pick up any canine deposits).

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Everything. Lovely rural site with stunning views. Spotless facilities and lovely owner who lent us a firepit to keep us warm on a chilly evening. If you want peace and quiet then this is the place. You would need to drive to nearby places or just sit back relax and watch the world go by and maybe spot a Red Kite!!!

Disliked: Nothing

Abi 3 bedroom static caravan

Liked: Quiet place for those who want to escape from busy city life. There was everything in the caravan - bedding, towels, toilet paper, soap. Hot and cold water. Heaters. Board games and a lot of movies to watch. Extra blanket recommended in cold weather. Considerably clean for those who want to stay with their pets. Need to be a very confident driver if want to go to places to visit, as some of the roads are narrow.

Local attractions

What lovely land this is… in a river valley close to the coast and full of options for walks, wildlife and birdwatching, coarse and game fishing and heaps of Welsh history… If you're here for nature, start off at Cors Caron, a nearby reserve on 2,000 acres of bog built up from thousands of years' worth of peat layers. It's well known for its wildlife, especially winter migrating birds, grassland birds and adders, and otters around the River Teifi, which runs at various points in and around the reserve. Welsh history? Four miles to Aeron View Camping's south west lies the 13th-century market town of Tregaron and home of the Welsh Gold Centre (if you're around in summer, get into town for the Tregaron 'Trotian' event – horse trotting and carriage racing). The Dolaucothi Gold Mines, first delved into by the Romans, are within 15 miles. Finally, make time for at least a day in excellent Aberystwyth, 12 miles to the north west from Aeron View, for at least one trip on the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway to the top of Constitution Hill for a fab vista of Cardigan Bay.
