  • 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. There's no reception on site, and there's a simple self-check-in system so that you can get straight to the important things: relaxing. There is, however, a manager on site 24 hours per day, plus a modern camera system.

What customers say

This site offers a convenient location within walking distance of Aberystwyth. Visitors generally find the pitches clean and well-maintained, with good shower facilities, though some describe them as basic. Many appreciate the quiet atmosphere, while others note occasional noise from children. Check-in and communication can be confusing for some, with a lack of on-site staff. The walk into town is uphill on the return journey.

Ann B. 1 review

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked The hard standing pitches were large although the grass patches were minimal. Easy to find
Wednesday and Thursday were quiet and peaceful
Showers were well planned with plenty of room for changing and your showering kit so nothing got wet
I would stay again but not towards weekend

Disliked No welcome guidance for clients
Too many unruly kids
Friday changed everything - we were staying in a race track. The site was unmanned and there were many children and some adults who spent the whole time racing around the site on bikes and e-scooters. The layout of the site lent itself to being used as a racetrack. There was no-one to manage this activity
Toilets and pot washing facilities at a minimum.
Grey water disposal area a bit disgusting
No shop on site, for basics, and nearest shop quite a distance away

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…
