  • 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 Unfortunately had to cancel at the last minute so can’t review but they did offer a free day for a future booking which was great.

Disliked None

From the manager: Dear Camper. We are a little surprised by your rating, as you cancelled last minute, so you didn't have the opportunity to experience our park or facilities. We've agreed to re arrange your booking free of charge with a credit of one night but you have given us a customer service rating of 3. This has bemused us as you seem pleased with that in your review comment. We are also confused by the rating of 3 for our WIFI which you haven't even used and you have also given us a 3 for our cleanliness! Kind regards, The Woodlands.

An excellent site and we would return!

Vicky N.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The views during the day and at night.
The facilities were exceptional - always clean and tidy. Nice hot showers and plenty of space to change.
The quietness of the site
We didn't bring our dog but plenty of walks for them.
Friendly staff
The locality to nearby attractions- Devils Bridge just a 5 minute walk away, steam train, pub and chocolate shop.
Not a must but excellent wifi since the general signal for mobile data isn't so great.

Disliked Our pitch was on a slope - couldn't be helped but would have preferred to be on a flat surface.
The shop had limited items so bring the essentials if you are needing them for the weekend.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely spacious pitch and level. Welcomed warmly by the staff.
Showers and facilities were first class.

Was a little concerned the toilets didn't have a key pad entry for safety.

Disliked The on site cafe was very disappointing. Dog owners are definitely second class not allowed in the cafe to eat. Tried once for lunch which would have been nice had it not gone cold in the freezing weather.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. I'm glad that you liked our park and shower block and found our staff friendly. We take a lot of pride in keeping our facilities clean and tidy. We used to have a keypad entry on our facility block but the constant sound of beeping as people were using it became an issue.

I am sorry that you found the on site cafe disappointing - It isn't run by ourselves but I know they work very hard. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed to eat inside but there is space outside where you can eat with them. It's just a shame the weather wasn't warm for you so that you could have enjoyed it.

I hope that you will return again when the weather is warmer :)

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.
