  • Well-kept flat pitches with lovely views over the Dyfi estuary
  • Aberystwyth and Dyfi Bike Park both 20 minutes' drive away
  • Launch kayaks or paddleboards on the river from the site
If lovely scenery and lots of nature all around are on your shopping list for your West Wales camping break, then the setting of Ynyslas Camping should suit you rather well. This chilled-out Ceredigion campsite is in a national nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest, with splendid views out over the Dyfi estuary. The estuary, of course, leads down to the coast – and it’s not far away at all, with the dunes of Ynyslas beach just under a mile and a half away (about a half-hour walk or couple of minutes in the car). From there you can pick up the Wales Coast Path to see some more of this gorgeous part of the Welsh coast, do some fishing or just hang out to see what kind of wildlife you can spot (out at sea or in the air perhaps). If you want to get out to sea, well, that’s possible too – there’s boat parking on site, and you can launch or store boats at the village boatyard less than a mile away. If you’re travelling with smaller craft, you can launch kayaks or paddleboards onto the estuary from the site. Staying on land, there are lots of bike trails nearby and the excellent Dyfi Bike Park is about 25 minutes’ drive away. Pitches here are flat and well maintained, with access to fresh water and waste disposal as well as toilets (compost loos and portable toilets). You’re welcome to bring a barbecue to cook meals; pick up the essentials in Borth, a couple of miles away, or bigger Aberystwyth (20 minutes’ drive). The coast, the local villages and the main town all have plenty to offer by way of places to eat out too – not forgetting the option of a Michelin-starred meal 10 minutes’ drive away in Furnace.

What customers say

This peaceful site boasts stunning estuary and mountain views, with many guests praising the friendly and helpful owners. The location is ideal, a short walk from the beach and coastal paths. Facilities, including toilets and pot washing sinks, are consistently described as clean and well-maintained. While some felt the price was high given the basic amenities (no showers, hot water, or bins), others appreciated the quiet, remote, and "wild camping" feel. The offer to borrow equipment was a noted bonus.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Easy to rock up and pitch where you like. Toilets were better than expected. Bonus fireworks on the beach after dark (because it was Bank Holiday I think).

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely site with beautiful views across the estuary and to the mountains. Plenty of level pitch space. Despite being the summer holidays we had the campsite to ourselves which was ideal. Nice clean facilities, provided all we needed for our stay. Also saw lots of kingfishers, which is always a treat! Will definitely come back again when we're next in the area.

Beautiful 40 minute walk along the estuary and sand dunes to the beach.

Disliked Amazing place , nothing to dislike.
