  • 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.

Liked Lovely campsite with great facilities. Modern toilet and shower block which was immaculately clean. Great location with devils bridge waterfall only a stones throw away. The site and pitches were very well kept, perfect place for couples and families. Will definitely be back when we return to Wales in the future.

Liked Lovely place. It's peaceful, clean and the perfect place to relax. The shower blocks were always warm and well stocked. Kids 11 and 8 were able to go off and explore a little while we put up the tent. 1pm checkout was fab. We have an 8 man tent to pack up, which to do by 10am as per other sites is a nightmare! Free wifi was a bit hit and miss at times but generally good.

Disliked Nothing. It was perfect for us.

Liked Beautiful location.
Wonderful views, especially from the dish washing point! Freezer and microwave available. Very family friendly, nice play area. Shower block was excellent.
Great tea rooms and a couple of hundred metres from the falls.
The drive in from Aberystwyth was epic!

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked We have just spent 2 weeks touring Wales and this site was by far the best kept site we stayed at! The pitches were generous and well looked after. The shower block was outstanding- my 14 daughter’s favourite thing about the site!! It had a specific area with plug sockets for your hairdryers and hair straighteners, which of course with a teenager is a massive bonus! The showers were great and always clean. There was plenty of green space around for the children to play and a lovely play park! With the devil’s bridge water walk on the door stop to explore, it was perfect for us. There was very little light pollution so good for dark skies, unfortunately we didn’t have clear skies during our stay.

Disliked That we didn’t book for longer 😀

From the manager: Thank you for your great review. We are happy that you and your family enjoyed your stay with us at the Woodlands. It's a shame that you didn't get to see any clear skies at night during your stay. It's a great spot for it in the right conditions. Hopefully you will come and stay again and get to see the Milky Way.

Second time we have been campingbhere, will definetly be returning!

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Washrooms, on-site cafe, walks.

Disliked Disturbance from a large nearby group and dogs,dogs,dogs.
We were attracted to this place by their prohibition of dangerous dogs and not allowing bookings from large multi-family groups however right opposite our pitch there was a grouping of two large caravans, two huge tents, four vehicles, at least six dogs meaning peace and quiet was in short supply, that many people just make more noise and there's no such thing as a dog that doesn't bark. When I brought this up with the people in reception when we were leaving, they didn't seem that bothered so there does seem to be a disconnect between what they promise and what they deliver.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review.

I am sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay with us and felt like the staff in the reception didn't seem bothered by your complaint.

We only allow guests to have a maximum of 2 dogs per family. A lot of families now have family pets which they do not leave behind when they holiday. August is notoriously busy and we have a lot of families staying with us. We do have wardens on our camping field which would have been available for you to raise your concerns to with the potential of offering you an alternative pitch and addressing the situation.

I am pleased though that you liked our washroom, on site cafe and the walks available.

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.
