Introduction to bryncarnedd
Field
Caravan site

  • 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.

What customers say

Great location near Aberystwyth, with clean, well-kept facilities including hot showers. Site is quiet and peaceful. Pitches generally level and roomy. Some minor check-in confusion & desire for updated facilities/signage. Good value for short stays.

Paul W.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked A very quiet site, although next to a road, but there was no noise from it at night. The toilets & showers were clean & well equipped. Pitches were fairly level but plenty of space between them. Good position for a walk into Aberystwyth but be warned it's a steep hill on the way back. We will definitely be back to this site.

Disliked Although the toilets were clean there maybe should be a few more of them especially for a busy weekend. I think it's impersonal not to have a reception for someone to greet you. Apart from that nothing else to moan about.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Pleasant and quiet site. Pitchup spots were easy to find. The pitches are a bit all over and it’s the first time we’ve had to use a single ramp but apart from that it’s really quiet. Facilities are in a porta cabin but absolutely no problems and the showers were amazing!

Disliked Minimal signal and not allowed to use the WiFi made it hard to plan days out

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…
