  • Peaceful dog-friendly pitches a mile from Ynyslas beach
  • A five-minute drive from Borth beach; 20 minutes from Aberystwyth
  • A short drive from pubs, restaurants and a golf course in Borth
Seeking sandy Welsh beaches? Tuck yourself in for a night (or two, or three, or more…) at Tŷ Mawr Caravan Park. Just a five-minute drive from Ynyslas beach and Borth beach, folks who lay their head here have easy access to miles of golden sand and various watersports, as well as miles of footpaths through the hills. These mid Wales pitches are mightily peaceful, as they are set in 10 acres of mature grounds. Venture out as you see fit… In Borth, there are fish and chip shops, pubs, a convenience shop, a golf course and three miles of sand with paddle-worthy seawater. Ynyslas beach and Dyfi National Nature Reserve are just a five-minute drive away, with dunes and walking trails. Rinse off any leftover sand grains between your feet at the shower and toilet block on site. Around sunset, you might like to find time to get a barbecue going for an alfresco dinner (and perhaps chuck a little something on the grill for the dog too – four-pawed pals are welcome at this site). Make sure you've got plans for a good breakfast too – you'll need plenty of fuel to see you through a day on the coastal path or in Aberystwyth, 20 minutes’ drive away. Aberystwyth has the oldest pier in Wales, as well as a gorgeous cliff railway and an Iron Age hillfort atop Pen Dinas Hill.

What customers say

Lovely, spotless, tranquil site with grand views. Staff, especially Richard, are brilliant. Toilets & showers top-notch. A bit out of the way, needing a car, but most want to come back.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Absolutely loved our stay! The site is quiet and relaxed, but family friendly at the same time. The youngest really enjoyed the freedom to run around and play chase. The pitch was very spacious and each pitch has its own water taps so no sending the kids out on a morning trek to get water for drinks etc.

The shower and toilet block was perfectly clean with the usual well fed spiders hanging out on the windows. Really well designed, with each shower having its own changing area and no need for pound coins.

The site manager was lovely, really friendly and chatty and even offered to help us pitch the tents as we arrived a little later than planned.

Only a 5 minute drive to the beach, which is sandy and has rock pools to explore. Loads of lovely places to eat as well.

Definitely going back!

Disliked Only addition that would have made the site perfect would be being able to have a fire bowl/campfire. But given the quality of the sire I can see why they wouldn't want the grass damaged.

Local attractions

Aberystwyth Castle (20 minutes’ drive) is free to get into. Built in the late 13th century, nowadays it lies in impressive ruins. Have a gander at the crumbling stone turrets and then stroll to the beach, as it’s only moments away. Next up on your list might be the Dyfi Osprey Project (15 minutes). Its wildlife-watching window looks out over birds’ activities but it’s the osprey room you’ll want to be in to see the live feeds at the osprey nest. An observatory provides a view of the whole reserve, at the end of a little boardwalk. The Dyfi Osprey Project is just outside Eryri National Park (Snowdonia). Continue northwards and you'll happen upon Penygader (35 minutes), where your hiking boots will come in very handy. It’s a sharp climb to the top, which overlooks a gorgeous lake and often has views all the way to the sea. In the opposite direction, Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest (half an hour) has more hikes. The visitor centre hosts daily feeds for the red kites, and if you're more inclined to sit in a saddle rather than walk, the forest also has mountain biking trails and a mountain bike skills park (and a coffee shop for a bit of caffeine when needed).
