  • 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.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Great facilities- the showers were amazing and everything was spotless. There are lots of quirky statues around the grounds and two play areas for kids which we appreciated. We also found a fab tree swing. Perfect location to walk to devils bridge. (Although you have to walk along the road to get there and there’s no pavement). Loved the late checkout time and free wifi too.

Disliked: It was a little on the pricey side but was great for a one night stopover.

Liked: Excellent facilities with all you need. In a lovely location. I accidentally booked the following weekend but they still made room with me and we're very helpful and reassuring. I would definitely visit again. Thank you very much for a very pleasant stay.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The facilities were excellent, spacious, always clean, plenty of hot water and lovely & warm. Surrounded by mountains so the views were great. We stayed on a gravel pitch, it was huge, flat and immaculate. It was an excellent and relaxing start to our 2024 caravanning adventures!

Disliked: No mobile signal (not campsite's fault!)

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Large, flat pitches and exceptionally clean facilities. Excellent base if you like countryside walks.

Disliked: Nothing at the site. The local pub however ‘Hafod’ was a massive disappointment. Ignorant staff and extremely unwelcoming.

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.
