  • 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.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Quiet site

Disliked: No mention when I booked of the sloping pitches No reception or warden - you just pitch up and find your way around No rules about dogs. On a pitch near me the people had 3 dogs running around the site and vans. I had a dog with me but as a regular camper he was on a lead on the site but we were both disturbed by the dogs running round us.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Reasonably close to town for an e-bike visit. Newly laid out Pitch-up places. Electricity good, water points close by. Quiet.

Disliked: Loos are a bit far away, as are the waste water points. Some rather scruffy seasonal pitches. No sign of a reception.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The facilities were very clean and kept to a high standard. The site is very friendly and welcoming. My 3 yr old and 8 yr old loved it there as it was our first time ever camping but we are now hooked and will be doing it again.

Disliked: Only small but the fact we was not able to use the swimming pool as we was there camping and not in a cottage. Only people who were staying in lodges/ cottages could use it.

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…
