Looking across the campsite (added by manager 17 jul 2023)

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.

From the manager: Thanks for your review. Our aim is back to basics with no wifi, free to roam, no hassle, very clean site, thanks again.

Nice basic site, but needs a bit more grass maintenance and dog bins!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Friendly welcome. Toilets were nice and clean despite being very basic. Big field for pitching so lots of space. Dog friendly. No rush to leave on the final day meant we could spend more time on the beach! :)

Disliked: Unfortunately the field was really uneven and the grass long. Not ideal for walking/driving across especially in the dark, but we managed. Despite looking well maintained with hardcore to drive on, the track also kept hitting the underside of my 107 in the middle no matter how slow I went. Really needs dog bins at the very least.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. As you should be aware we dont charge for dogs, so is it to much to ask for you to take your dog mess away?? . However thank you for saying were a basic site as thats exactly what we intended and most people liked.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Nice flat field with really clean facilities. Lovely welcoming owners who made sure we were all okay and prepared for the forecast rain. The field has great drainage so any rain water clears very quickly. Gravel on the track so you can’t get stuck. The campsite is located next to ynslas beach which is dog friendly and not far from Borth, Aberystwyth and other towns. We had two dogs with us and they were also welcomed! The campsite is nice and quiet and out the way but still very close to things. Couldn’t recommend this campsite enough, will definitely be back and recommend to family and friends!

From the manager: Thanks for coming, it was great to see people getting out and enjoying the surrounding area. look forward to seeing you again.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: I absolutely loved this site which is in a beautiful and extremely scenic setting. The owners are new to this and have plans to offer more facilities such as showers at the site. Although currently there are only two toilets at the site, they are pristine. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. They could not do enough to make sure you had all the information needed to get the best out of the area. There is a beach nearby and the town of Borth is within walking distance. If you are into nature, wildlife and a beautiful scenic setting this is the place for you. I’ve been travelling extensively for four months and I can honestly say this is the best welcome I’ve had.

Disliked: Nothing
