Quiet and simple campsite five minutes' walk from Ynyslas beach
Just under two miles from Borth; Aberystwyth 20 minutes' drive
Set on a smallholding with views over a nature reserve and an estuary

With a no-frills approach and golden sand five minutes’ stroll away, Tŷ-Gwyn Campsite is certainly worth writing home about. This peaceful, grassy site is set on a traditional smallholding on the coast of West Wales… and it doesn’t hold back on the views either. They include vistas over the Cors Fochno nature reserve, the Dyfi Estuary and the sea. Five minutes' walk from Ynyslas beach and within two miles of the popular seaside village of Borth, it's all about simple camping in a laidback environment here. The facilities, while basic, are good, with toilets, a shower block and washing-up facilities. Waste and recycling facilities are provided too. The site's no-frills design means you'll have plenty of time to set off over the sand dunes of Ynyslas, light up a barbecue (they're allowed on site as long as they're kept well off the grass) or to take your dog for long seaside strolls. One such walk takes the riverside footpath down to the village of Borth to catch the sunset. If the four miles there and back is a bit of a stretch, it's five minutes in the car, or there’s an hourly bus service that’ll sort the journey for you. Once you're in Borth, the village has plenty of handy amenities that may well come in handy, including a railway station, local shops, a fish and chip shop and pubs. That’s not forgetting the Borth Golf Club for those of you who have a good swing. Please note that a railway line runs alongside the site, with trains (with two carriages) running hourly from the early morning to late evening.

What customers say

This friendly, well-located campsite offers a relaxed vibe and great value. Guests love the clean facilities, beach proximity, and helpful staff. Basic amenities are sufficient, with new additions like a covered wash-up area and charging station. The nearby train line gets mixed reviews – some find it noisy, others enjoy it. Great for families and dog owners.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Lovely, small campsite with beautiful views. The owners were welcoming and helpful. The new shed was really useful with a sink for washing up, a fridge freezer and secure charging boxes for electronics.

Disliked It's not a dislike however, there is only one shower person sex. It would be useful to have two as when we were there the female ones were in use most of the day making it difficult to find chance to go.
Although it didn't cause us any issues, the site is located next to a train line with trains running every hour and also through the night. Our children loved watching them go past and it didn't wake them up in the night.

Local attractions

Getting to know this area starts with the local towns. In Aberystwyth (20 minutes’ drive), you could board the Vale of Rheidol Railway to chug around woodlands, or the cliff railway for views of the sea from up high. With escape rooms, an Edwardian theatre and a horse riding centre, there’s plenty of variety. The same can be said for Aberaeron (45 minutes), which joins up with The Coastal Way path and has a lively harbourside that operates wildlife-spotting boat trips. Machynlleth (20 minutes), part of the UNESCO Dyfi Biosphere, is home to local art galleries, antique stores and plenty of eateries to fuel your adventures outwards too. The energy is likely to come in handy for the Devil's Bridge Falls (35 minutes) in the Cambrian Mountains, where the trails take you through a wooded gorge with a waterfall. RSPB Ynys-hir (15 minutes), too, where the walks travel past salt marsh, oak woods and plenty of hiding places for wildlife. Keen to see more animals while on your adventures? The Animalarium (five minutes) is a small zoo with animals that were once held captive, while Dyfi Osprey Project (15 minutes) has a beaver family and ospreys.
