  • 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.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Stayed here before in October last year and loved the place. Our return visit didn't disappoint. The site is located in a beautiful part of the world and is very well presented and maintained. The hard standing pitches are spacious and level and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We'll be back...

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (four person)

Liked: How clean the toilets and showers were. The scenery around the campsite is amazing, with just a short walk away from Devils Bridge. It was also very peaceful. There are sheep in the nearby field which do baaa in the mornings, but still very quiet and relaxing. The staff on reception are also very welcoming, and the cafe also do an amazing breakfast.

Disliked: Poor/no signal for mobile phones in this area for those on the Tesco and Vodafone networks.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Lovely well maintained site, spacious flat gravel pitches. The tent camp field was sloped if you're looking at this option. One of the best toilet/shower/laundry facilities block I've seen. Children enjoyed the parks although very muddy as expected with the Welsh weather. Cafe on site run separately. 5mins walk along the road to Devil's Bridge and 20mins to Aberystwyth. Enjoyed our stay.

Disliked: None, other than the weather.

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.
