  • Excellently-kept village site 12 miles from Aberystwyth
  • A few minutes' walk from Devils Bridge Falls
  • In a walking, birdwatching and wildlife haven
Ever been to Devils Bridge Falls? If not, you really should, for they really are devilishly handsome. And a simple few minutes' stroll from the Falls is popular and immaculately-maintained Woodlands Caravan Park: use it as a waterfall pitstop, or as a base for seeing what else is on offer on the Ceredigion coastline and in west Wales (spoiler alert: quite a bit). Woodlands is in the hills in Devils Bridge village, in a walking haven with lots of walks leading directly from the site, and in a well-placed locale for fishing, mountain biking, golfing and birdwatching too (you'll often see a red kite or two soaring overhead). It's a few minutes' walk from the village pub and the Vale of Rheidol steam train, and four miles from the red kite feeding station at Bwlch Nant yr Arian's Forestry Centre. Aberystwyth is 12 miles away and has one of several sandy beaches to visit up and down the Ceredigion coast. The amenities block at Woodlands has very cleanly kept toilets and free showers. Also on site are a shop, tearooms, a laundry room, games room and a play area; a free wifi hotspot is maintained for the use of all guests.

What customers say

Reviewers consistently praise this campsite for its stunning location and immaculate, modern facilities, particularly the shower blocks. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, with many highlighting the spacious and well-maintained pitches. Its proximity to Devil's Bridge and beautiful walking routes is a significant draw. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, a few minor points were raised, including occasional WiFi inconsistencies and the cafe's limited opening hours. Overall, visitors highly recommend the site and express a strong desire to return.

James F.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (large)

Liked Easy to find, flexible arrival & leaving times, great facilities, lovely surroundings. Things to do in local area and park to occupy kids.

Disliked We got very lucky with our pitch but majority of them for tent pitches on the non-electric field were not level. Not ideal for tent campers. Nothing at fault with Woodlands as out of their control however the sheep in the neighbouring field/farm were so loud and what seemed to sound like a pack of dogs, also presumably from the neighbouring farm, barked loudly every single night for a short time.

Xiaoqiang W.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Excellent site for those who value good amenities. The facilities block is impressive: clean and well heated toilets/showers, free hairdryers, and a handy communal kitchen area with a fridge, freezer, and microwave (but no stove). There are even laundry machines (washing and tumble dry) for an extra fee if you need them. The electric grass pitches are plenty big enough and the free Wi-Fi worked well for us. Big thanks to the friendly lady at reception for the warm welcome!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (large)

Liked We came here for our first family camping trip in our roof tent. We absolutely loved it and will definitely return when it’s dryer and warmer - shower blocks very clean and tidy. Mark on site invited my 3 year old son to see some new born baby Lambs which he loved seeing.

Disliked The weather.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Fantastic stay at this beautiful camp site. It was such a well kept and peaceful space and in a great location, right next to the stunning Devil’s Bridge and waterfalls and only a short drive to Aberystwyth.

The facilities were super clean and well thought out, with lovely warm showers. You can tell they have a lot of pride in the site and it shows.

The staff were lovely, had great communication throughout the process and we’d definitely love to return here in the future! Thank you!

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The site was brilliant in an every respect; the staff were friendly and informative, pitches were clearly marked and all facilities clearly sign posted. The facilities were spotless, warm and such a luxury. Super safe for my children, who loved the map of the woods. Fantastic location, beautiful scenery-we all had a lovely break.

Local attractions

The Devils Bridge Falls and the Three Bridges nature trail walk are only about a quarter of a mile from Woodlands Caravan Park and are – cleverly – the things most guests go for first. The Vale of Rheidol Steam Train and the Hafod Arms Hotel & Bar are both within the same distance away. Four miles away are four top west Wales attractions for all types: the daily red kite feeding at Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forestry Centre; its mountain bike trail; the guided walks and wooded landscape of the Hafod estate; and the Silver Mountain Experience, a day out among the old mines, streams and forests of the Cambrian mountains. The Elan Valley, 15 miles away, is an essential site for Welsh wildlife and is often called the Welsh Lake District: head here for the Elan Valley Reservoirs and the only purpose-built arts and crafts mini village in Wales. Or if you fancy the beach, the sands of Borth beach and the sand dunes of Ynys Las are within 15 and 17 miles. Another beach is at nearby Aberystwyth, along with its famed Constitution Hill, Camera Obscura and cliff railway, and the Magic of Life Butterfly House, with hundreds of butterflies, heaps of giant caterpillars, odd insects and walks (and more waterfalls) in the Rheidol Valley. If the kids like this, take them along too to Fantasy Farm Park, 19 miles away.
