  • Peaceful pitches a mile from Aberystwyth town centre
  • A 10-minute drive from Borth beach; 20 minutes from Devil's Bridge
  • Easy access from main roads; dogs welcome
Make the most of Ceredigion’s countryside and set your compass to Bryncarnedd Caravan Park, a mile outside of Aberystwyth town centre. It is indeed a splendid spot here on what was once a busy dairy farm, and handily you’ll be well set for getting into town for shops, restaurants and attractions when you want them. These days, this place has been transformed into a peaceful caravan park with holiday lets in the surrounding old farm buildings. Dogs are welcome to join you on the pitches here – there are plenty of places to take them (or yourselves) for a walk on local pathways. Easy access to the local main roads (A44 and A487) means that it’s straightforward to get out and about for the area’s many activities and attractions, be they beaches, birdwatching, bike riding or exploring the area around Devils Bridge (waterfalls and cool bridges included). Back on site, though, there are well-maintained facilities, including a play area, washing-up area, chemical disposal point and modern bathroom block with toilets and showers to rinse off after a full-on day of adventuring. There's no reception on site, and there's a simple self-check-in system so that you can get straight to the important things: relaxing. There is, however, a manager on site 24 hours per day, plus a modern camera system.

What customers say

A clean, well-kept campground close to Aberystwyth. Guests enjoyed the quiet, roomy sites. Facilities are good, though some say they're basic. Self-pitching is easy, but a few people were unsure about their spot. The walk back uphill is challenging.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked It's a busy place but very friendly.

Shower and toilet block are basic but clean and in very good condition.

There is enough space for kids to meet on the playground and play football etc.

There is a person who supervise the place (Roy) and he is very nice and friendly to make your stay the best experience.

Victoria J. 7 reviews

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Not much.

Disliked No host, no welcome, and signs up everywhere telling pitch up customers what they aren't allowed to do.
Pitches are thown in a corner of the site, and other long term guests very anti social to those staying on them.
Disliked it so much that we left two days early.
Facilities were ok, but not what I would expect for the cost.

Local attractions

Once you’ve got your bearings, you’ll want to get clued up on exactly what’s close by. Aberystwyth (five minutes’ drive) has a castle, cliff railway and the nostalgic Vale of Rheidol Railway, while Borth beach (10 minutes) will sort out swimming, surfing, fishing, sailing and windsurfing fans. For walks surrounded by pleasant coastal scenery, the Ynyslas beach and nature reserve (15 minutes) is a sure bet for that sort of stuff, while the Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest Visitor Centre (15 minutes) has plenty of walks or bike trails in a forest setting instead. There's also red kite feeding activities to mix things up a little there. Put your smarts to the test… you’ll find a few things to wrap your head around at the Centre for Alternative Technology (35 minutes). Meanwhile, Corris Craft Centre (35 minutes) will be a test of your artistic skills instead, while the Silver Mountain Experience (20 minutes) has escape rooms and tours around a Victorian mine. And what about King Arthur's Labyrinth (40 minutes), where re-enactments and boat tours bring the legends to life? Handily, with your guide, you shouldn't get too lost inside the Snowdonia mountains…
