Introduction to bryncarnedd
Field
Caravan site

  • Peaceful pitches a mile from Aberystwyth town centre
  • A 10-minute drive from Borth beach; 20 minutes from Devil's Bridge
  • Easy access from main roads; dogs welcome
Make the most of Ceredigion’s countryside and set your compass to Bryncarnedd Caravan Park, a mile outside of Aberystwyth town centre. It is indeed a splendid spot here on what was once a busy dairy farm, and handily you’ll be well set for getting into town for shops, restaurants and attractions when you want them. These days, this place has been transformed into a peaceful caravan park with holiday lets in the surrounding old farm buildings. Dogs are welcome to join you on the pitches here – there are plenty of places to take them (or yourselves) for a walk on local pathways. Easy access to the local main roads (A44 and A487) means that it’s straightforward to get out and about for the area’s many activities and attractions, be they beaches, birdwatching, bike riding or exploring the area around Devils Bridge (waterfalls and cool bridges included). Back on site, though, there are well-maintained facilities, including a play area, washing-up area, chemical disposal point and modern bathroom block with toilets and showers to rinse off after a full-on day of adventuring.

Kimberley b.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A Tent stay review:

A basic, but well looked after site for simple needs. Level pitches and grass well draining (2/3 nights rained)
There was plenty of room for our stay, we arrived with friends who had a camper, and were able to pitch across from them.
Be sure to bring a long enough electric hook up, or an extension just incase others decide to take up nearly two pitches. There isn’t any specific pitch space.

I didn't catch the name of the guy who was looking after the site while we stayed (drove a silver van) but he was amazing!
He was polite and informative, and on hand if we had any questions; and lent us an 5m extension for our 3 night stay.

Amenities are basic and clean, washing machines should you wish to use them, showers (around 6 between the two blocks), toilets, and a washing up area. All were cleaned and topped up with toilet paper daily.

I didn’t book this site out of choice our friends did, I did worry about some of the reviews I’d seen. We are a family of 2 adults, 2 children 5, 13 and we all felt happy and safe on the site despite it being on a roadway between Clarach and Aberystwyth.

if you are wanting a clean really relaxed site to pitch your tent and go exploring around wales (this is the perfect distance from Aber & clarach) Then come back for a BBQ, kids can play on the small park, have a lovely hot shower in the morning and be off out again.. then this is a perfect budget friendly site. If you are wanting an all frills, modern site to stay then look elsewhere.

Disliked Within our time here it was a Jewish holiday for 2 weeks. They had rented a large quantity or even all of the lodges. I couldn’t work out whether the swimming pool was included originally but now just wasn’t because they were there with modesty sheeting up.
There was another park on site which was inaccessible due to their stay, and they even told someone they couldn't pitch on a field opposite the lodges (when it had nothing to do with them where anyone pitched and they had no right) and bless the guy who was running the show, he dealt with a lot while we were there. I hope he gets a decent deal for their stay here. I feel this should be mentioned on the site when booking.

There isn’t a reception to visit, and upon arrival, calling either of the numbers on the website puts you through to a hotel under a different name this was really confusing as the second time I called I stated that this was the number on the website for this place and she then went on to stay “oh yes we managed this place too” it would have really helped if they’d say both names or a telephone option of some sort.

Local attractions

Once you’ve got your bearings, you’ll want to get clued up on exactly what’s close by. Aberystwyth (five minutes’ drive) has a castle, cliff railway and the nostalgic Vale of Rheidol Railway, while Borth beach (10 minutes) will sort out swimming, surfing, fishing, sailing and windsurfing fans. For walks surrounded by pleasant coastal scenery, the Ynyslas beach and nature reserve (15 minutes) is a sure bet for that sort of stuff, while the Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest Visitor Centre (15 minutes) has plenty of walks or bike trails in a forest setting instead. There's also red kite feeding activities to mix things up a little there. Put your smarts to the test… you’ll find a few things to wrap your head around at the Centre for Alternative Technology (35 minutes). Meanwhile, Corris Craft Centre (35 minutes) will be a test of your artistic skills instead, while the Silver Mountain Experience (20 minutes) has escape rooms and tours around a Victorian mine. And what about King Arthur's Labyrinth (40 minutes), where re-enactments and boat tours bring the legends to life? Handily, with your guide, you shouldn't get too lost inside the Snowdonia mountains…
