  • Peaceful dog-friendly pitches one mile from Ynyslas beach
  • A five-minute drive from Borth beach; 20 minutes from Aberystwyth
  • A short drive from pubs, restaurants and a golf course in Borth
Seeking sandy Welsh beaches? Tuck yourself in for a night (or two, or three or more…) at Tŷ Mawr Caravan Park. Just a five-minute drive from Ynyslas beach and Borth beach, folks who lay their head here have easy access to miles of golden sand and footpaths in the hills, as well as watersports. In Mid Wales, the pitches are mightily peaceful. Unwind as much as you like, for they are set in 10 acres of mature grounds. Venture out as you see fit… In Borth, there are fish and chip shops, pubs, a convenience shop, a golf course and three miles of sand with paddle-worthy seawater. Ynyslas beach and Dyfi National Nature Reserve are just a five-minute drive away, with dunes and walking trails. Rinse off any leftover sand grains between your feet at the shower and toilet block on site. Before sunset, there’s always time to fit in a barbecue with all of your preferred meats and veggies (and perhaps a spare few bits for a barbecued dog's dinner). All that food can be put to good use on the coastal path or in Aberystwyth, 20 minutes’ drive away. Aberystwyth has the oldest pier in Wales, as well as a gorgeous cliff railway and an Iron Age hillfort atop of Pen Dinas Hill.

Liked: A quiet, remote spot that has beautiful surroundings - good place if you want to get away from it all. Very friendly staff. Easy to drive to nearby areas - however not much public transport so good it you are happy to drive everywhere or have long walks to get to local towns. Had a wonderful stay!

Powered grass site

Liked: Clean site and facilities. Well maintained grass pitches. We stayed on a flat pitch which is always a bonus when camping. Location was ideal with sea views. Friendly staff Loved the layout of the shower cubicals - very spacious and practical.

Disliked: Only 1 slight dislike and this is related to the showers. Once turning the shower on I found you had very little time (seconds) before having to push the button again and when you did push the button a again there would be a slight pause before any water would come back out which made showering slightly difficult.

Local attractions

Aberystwyth Castle (20 minutes’ drive) is free to get into, and built in the late 13th century, it’s nowadays in impressive ruins. Have a gander at the crumbling stone turrets and then stroll to the beach, as it’s only moments away. Next up on your list might be the Dyfi Osprey Project (15 minutes). Its wildlife-watching window looks out over birds’ activities but it’s the osprey room you’ll want to be in to see the live feeds at the osprey nest. An observatory provides a view of the whole reserve, at the end of a little boardwalk. The Dyfi Osprey Project is just before the Eryri National Park (Snowdonia). Continue northwards and you will happen upon Penygader (35 minutes), where your hiking boots will come in very handy. It’s a sharp climb to the top, which overlooks a gorgeous lake and often has views all the way to the sea. In the opposite direction, Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest (half an hour) has more hikes. The visitor centre hosts daily feeds for the red kites, and if you're more inclined to sit in a saddle rather than walk, the forest also has mountain biking trails and a mountain bike skills park (and a coffee shop for a bit of caffeine when needed).
