Quiet season nice pitches and great for dog

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.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Excellent booking system; the process is done electronically which includes strategically placed cameras for arrivals and departures. A person is at the end of a phone to deal with any questions.

Disliked: No negative comments, I only stayed one night which didn’t present the opportunity to find any dislikes.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: quiet site

Disliked: no owner contact whatsoever and therefore no ability to ask questions. There was wifi but no code displayed or informed of. Sent text message re this to mobile number displayed on site but no reply in 24 hours. Recycling area a mess with no signage on individual bins what was to go in each one.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, we do not advertise WIFI on our Pitch Up listing as it is unavailable for the campsite.

Ease of using showers and elsan point. Countryside views with red kites…

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Good location for Aberystwyth. Walking distance to a shop. Quiet site when we were there. Very clean heated facilities appropriate for motorhome pitches just about.

Disliked: Busy road until late in evening. The outdoor swimming pool mentioned in Pitch up advert not available to camping customers.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. We do not mention the outdoor swimming pool and jacuzzi in our Pitch Up listing as this is reserved for the cottage and lodge guests.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Toilet and shower facilities were amazing - hot and very clean! It was pretty quiet on site which was nice.

Disliked: Pitched feel quite close together but our neighbouring pitch were a lovely family so didn’t both us! Wasnt much to do, walking wise around the site that felt safe to walk to. Roads nearby had no pavements but if we were feeling braver it would have been great to walk into Aberystwyth!

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…
