- 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? The Pitchup.com pen flows forth on these a lot when writing about the top things to see in west Wales: 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 many 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 is one of several sandy beaches to visit up and down the Ceredigion coast.
The amenities block at Woodlands was newly built and added in 2014 and has very cleanly kept loos and (free) showers. Also on site is a shop, tearooms, a laundry room, games room and a children's play area; a free wifi hotspot is maintained for the use of all guests.
Open from 15/03/2017 to 31/10/2017

Check availability at Woodlands Caravan Park…
Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you’re a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children in one booking.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled ‘Please note’.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

From the manager...
Many thanks for your lovely review. We are glad you were happy on our new hardstanding pitches. It is true at our busy time the camping field is quite busy, although some of the tents could have been part of a group - we had a few groups in so the tents and vans pitched close to one another to create a group space so possibly looking more crowded. We do our best to monitor noise levels and ask for quiet after 10.30pm, so glad to hear that the noise settled down. In general its a pretty quiet campsite surrounded by nature and we like to do what we can to ensure our guests get a good night sleep! thanks again and hope to see you back. |

From Aberystwyth, take the A4120 towards Devils Bridge. Go through the village passing the Hafod Arms Hotel and Devils Bridge Waterfalls attraction. Continue for 200 yards and we are on the right-hand side.
From Newtown, take the A44 towards Aberystwyth. On entering the village of Ponterwyd turn left towards Devils Bridge. On entering the village we are on the left-hand side.
We are easily identified by the tearooms and a statue of a bronze horse at the entrance to our park.
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 – what 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.
Those feeling more active than walks and mountain bike trails can provide could try Colossal Activities 11 miles from home, with a golf course, fishing lake, paintballing, kayaking and archery, or the Rheidol Riding Centre about 12 miles away.
The Elan Valley 15 miles away is an essential site for Welsh wiidife 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.

Many thanks, we've left out dustpans and brushes for guests in the bathroom and at muddy times we also leave a mop and bucket. We do our best to get in the bathrooms to clean as much as possible before and after peak shower time as we understand its not ideal if the floor is a bit muddy. Thanks again for staying with us and we hope to see you again.
