  • 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.

Liked Tent plot was very spacious. Shower, toilet facilities were big and always clean. Plenty of water taps. Thankfully they had a fridge as our cool box got too hot and stopped working. Used the washing machine, that was also easy and not long to wait.
Staff were very friendly. Best thing was listening to the sleep. We managed to do alot in the week we was there, we was only a drive out to various places. There was a lovely pub nearby which you needed to book, y ffarmers. Food was amazing.

Disliked Had to leave!

Liked From the welcome of Kelly and Mark at reception you are then catapulted into the best camping environment you could wish for. The whole environment is immaculate with pitches that are as ample as described. The views from our pitch of the hillside gives you the sense of the open and there is just so much room to feel freedom. We used the toilets and showers which really are first class, not only clean but warm and showers really make a difference, a credit to the man who was always present cleaning. I though they were new but when told they were in fact 11 years old, they just put most campsites to shame this is how you want and expect a visit to be. Mark was very knowledgeable of the area and gave us a great walk to enjoy, I watched the motor racing and the wife walked, a perfect day. The bikers cafe at the front of the reception is great place to stop with good portions and reasonably priced, just an added bonus. The whole place is just brilliant and easily tops our list of UK stop overs with a great value for money, thanks to the team for making a fantastic two nights which will only be more next year.

Disliked The shame that other sites can't and don't reach these fantastic standards.

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.
