  • Peaceful and green Mid Wales site on the banks of the Dyfi river
  • Machynlleth 15 minutes' drive; half an hour to the coast
  • Easy access from the A470; pub, shop and café 10 minutes' walk
Countryside views and convenient access all in one location? Parc Bryndyfi makes a fantastic base for a Mid Wales break – this lush green oasis of a site is a proper rural place to stay, surrounded by trees and with the Dyfi river running down one side. The convenient access comes in the form of the A470, one of the main roads running through this part of the world. It’s just outside the site, making your ins and outs nice and simple and making it easy to get out for day trips to Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park or over to the coast. For even more on the convenience front, the village of Cemmaes is about 10 minutes’ walk away, with a traditional pub (serving food as well as drinks) and an award-winning village shop/café. For more shopping and eating, head to Machynlleth, 15 minutes’ drive away. The setup at this site is fairly simple, but guests have access to smart bathroom facilities and an indoor washing-up/kitchen area. Dogs are welcome, and there’s plenty of space for them and the kids to have a good run about.

Lovely, clean riverside site with great, modern facilities, especially private washrooms. Manager Chris gets rave reviews for being super friendly & helpful. Some note road noise & few amenities, but most love the peace, scenery & staff. Many want to come back.

Ricky J.

Powered grass campsite

Liked I was particularly impressed by the friendly, professional staff and the spotless facilities. The toilets and showers were consistently clean and well maintained throughout our stay!

Disliked The site was quite dark when going to the toilet at the night time, would of been nice to see some solar lights on the floor leading towards the amenities area. Although there were some lights lighting up the electric and water points on the serviced pitches.

Sarah F.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Warm welcome from site manage, Chris. He’ll tell you everything you need to know and is on hand if needed. This was our 2nd stay here & we’ll be back again, i expect. Flat pitch - we opted for hard standing with EHU & water - surrounded by hills with kites flying overhead. Spotlessly clean facilities - you get a toilet, wash basin & shower in each cubicle (2 men’s, 2 women’s) plus hanging hooks & a stool, with plenty of room to not get your clothes wet and to dry off & dress comfortably, just like home. Indoor wash-up room too & warm when the temperature drops outside. Lovely friendly atmosphere (early August) busy with families of all ages playing games & making friends. The site runs adjacent to the road so you hear traffic but the bank of wild vegetation in between seems to absorb the sound & it didn’t bother us at all. The short walk to the village is do-able with great care but I wouldn’t want to do it with children as it’s a fast road with narrow or no verges. Delightful walks from there. Great little shop that also serves coffee & cake (limited opening times) & friendly pub with a cracking Sunday roast.

Disliked Being school summer hols there’s queueing in the morning, so take your showers later in the day if possible so folks don’t have to stand waiting with legs crossed when they’ve just got up! (This is NOT actually a dislike of the site, more a request to our fellow campers!)

Amber C.

Primitive grass tent or campervan campsite

Liked This site is beautiful with amazing views and the river was an added bonus! It was kept pristine at all times by the site managers who were there almost all day and late into the evening- they were really friendly and couldn’t do enough to help.

The facilities were outstanding! Immaculate toilet block, with showers and loos all in one cubicle together which was so handy, it’s usually a struggle to keep clothes dry and to change when the floor is wet- but that wasn’t an issue at this site! There is also a separate sink area inside to wash pots and cooking equipment etc. These were easily the best facilities we have ever come across in our years of camping.

The pub was also under a 10 minute walk away and they do lovely food there. All around this is a brilliant camp site which was very peaceful and quiet as it’s quite large with two fields. Would definitely recommend!

Disliked Nothing.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Super friendly staff. Beautiful spot with a little stream. Pitches were a great size. The facilities were the cleanest and the best we’ve ever seen. Heated indoor washing up area would make it great for winter. Strangely midge free for wales, don’t know if we just got lucky. Would definitely come again.

Disliked Could do with some extra toilets separate from showers.

Powered grass campsite

Liked We originally booked an electric pitch, my bad, as we haven’t got an electric hook up in our van ! With one easy phone call to Aled, site owner, then arrival on site with the wonderful site manager Chris, we were shown suitable grass pitch where we could also park and pitch up the tent next door by a beautiful
River, all fenced off for safety but you could swim in there over the styles if you wanted too. Not too deep, just over knee height for an adult. Prime location close to Mach and Dolgellau and the local garage shop 5 minutes drive away sticks everything or something you may have forgotten.

A lovely village pub 10 minute walk down the road, lovely food and hosts there at the Penrhos Arms. Food only 6-8 though so book or don’t turn up later and expect to be fed. The site is perfectly safe for the children and not too noisy at all. All quiet by 11pm. Slept amazingly listening to the stream. The toilet and shower block were large and absolutely immaculate.. truly cannot rate this campsite any higher for location, customer care and cleanliness.. thank you for helping contribute to an amazing weekend !!

Disliked Absolutely nothing to dislike on site, perfect… only issue which has nothing to do with the campsite but a warning to parents is the main road walk to the pub, albeit only 10 mins if that, it’s a bit of a fast stretch if you have younger children.
