  • Games room and playground on site
On your marks, get set, and CrinGOed to this friendly, family-orientated park sitting pretty in the mid-Wales countryside, under an hour’s drive away from the Welsh coast. A warm welcome from the Cringoed Caravan Park owners awaits: they've been working hard for over 15 years to perfect this family-run gem, leading to a well laid-out park set against spectacular woods. Comfort is the name of the game here: hot showers and electric hook-up is available, as are dishwashing facilities, a laundry, chemical disposal point and access to wifi. Kids have a play area and games room to keep them busy in weathers both fair and foul. Dogs are allowed all year round too, so be sure to bring the pooch along to take part in proceedings. For supplies, the village of Llanbrynmair (with its convenience store and homely pub) is a mile away, and the cafés, pubs and shops of Machynlleth are just over 20 minutes away by car.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked You will not go to a campsite with cleaner toilets or showers! An absolutely spotless campsite altogether. Really impressed with it.

It was so lovely and quiet, and our children loved the creek and the play area. It was also great that there was a tumble dryer for when they went and played in the creek, which was only £1 for 30 minutes.

It is a very small site, so our kids were the only ones there for a lot of our stay. They felt so free and like they had the place to themselves. My son also loved the nearby sheep farm.

Surprisingly for its location, there was even wifi on the site. This worked perfectly for Netflix when our kids were winding down after a day in the sunshine.

Disliked This is a very rural camping site. We like to be about 1 mile(ish) from a pub or cafe usually, but had to drive each time we wanted something.

On the last night, the owners also decided to have a party playing music super loudly (and more annoyingly, the same three songs over and over), which made it difficult to get our 3-year-old to sleep and affected our daughter, who has autism. Until then, it was a lovely, quiet campsite with no issues at all.

Kerry T.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Wow what a site. It was so well maintained. So clean and spacious. Peaceful and relaxing. Showers were proper showers and nice and hot. A lovely little well kept park for the kids. A dog park for walking the dogs. Under cover washing up facilities. The residents on site that owned their caravans were so lovely and the grandson made friends. Beautiful stream that the children could play in with the dogs. Lovely owners that just left you too it but would speak when they saw you to make sure you was ok and had everything you needed. Great value for money and one of the best sites we have stayed on. Will 100% be returning. Highly recommend this site to anyone especially if you enjoy scenic views, have children and dogs and just loves the peace and quiet.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked This was the most amazing campsite
- clean facilities
- no car noises / disruptions
- staff were super friendly
- well kept, the grass was lovely
- park for the kids
- dog field for the pooches
- easy arrival and check out

The closest shop was around 7 minute drive and had everything in stock (spar)

Power optional gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Ruhig an einer Strasse / Bach gelegen. Stellplatz an sich sehr gepflegt. Was man von den Waschhäusern und Spülhaus leider nicht behaupten kann. Es ist alles sehr in die Jahre gekommen.
Sind einen Tag früher abgereist.

Disliked Spinnweben überall im Männlichen sowie Weiblichen Waschhaus. Spülhaus dringend renovierungsbedürftig und auch voller Spinnweben.
Eine grobe Reinigung erfolgte erst am nächsten Tag. Wir waren nur zu zweit dort.
WLAN war auch nicht gut.
Den Besitzer haben wir nie gesehen.

From the manager: Well this review was a huge shock, perhaps I should have it translated, I'll leave that for another day. The marks speak for themselves ,clearly our friends from Germany were not happy.

As it happens we were not at the park on the day, they were greeted by a caravan owner and I explained we were not present due to hospital appointments. .Clearly we could challenge every comment as it it does not reflect our standards, A LITTLE LOST FOR WORDS..

So the most appropriate thing to say is Auf Wiedersehen.

Personal and very helpful service. Provided all the facilities we required. Good…

Local attractions

Cringoed is at the gateway to Snowdonia, not far from the sea and the Cambrian Mountains, yet conveniently placed near to a myriad of main roads which makes exploring the surrounding area a cinch. Join the 135-mile Glyndŵr's Way nature trail from the site: from farmland to moorland, forests to lakes and reservoirs – you can explore the best of the Welsh countryside and get your fill of cultural and natural history as you follow the footsteps of Owain Glyndŵr. For walkers wanting more, Snowdonia is also within easy reach. Prefer more sea than sky? Aberdovey (also 40 minutes by car) has watersports from the high octane to the high relaxing – sailing, rowing, canoeing, fishing… take your pick. The award-winning beaches are ideal for those perfecting the art of spectating too. Barmouth harbour, just under an hour to the west, also has uncrowded beaches for you to take up your spot in the sunshine.
