Introduction to bryncarnedd
Field
Caravan site

  • Peaceful pitches a mile from Aberystwyth town centre
  • A 10-minute drive from Borth beach; 20 minutes from Devil's Bridge
  • Easy access from main roads; dogs welcome
Make the most of Ceredigion’s countryside and set your compass to Bryncarnedd Caravan Park, a mile outside of Aberystwyth town centre. It is indeed a splendid spot here on what was once a busy dairy farm, and handily you’ll be well set for getting into town for shops, restaurants and attractions when you want them. These days, this place has been transformed into a peaceful caravan park with holiday lets in the surrounding old farm buildings. Dogs are welcome to join you on the pitches here – there are plenty of places to take them (or yourselves) for a walk on local pathways. Easy access to the local main roads (A44 and A487) means that it’s straightforward to get out and about for the area’s many activities and attractions, be they beaches, birdwatching, bike riding or exploring the area around Devils Bridge (waterfalls and cool bridges included). Back on site, though, there are well-maintained facilities, including a play area, washing-up area, chemical disposal point and modern bathroom block with toilets and showers to rinse off after a full-on day of adventuring.

What customers say

Great spot near Aberystwyth, quiet and clean. Staff are helpful, pitches are spacious and level. Showers are hot! Some found facilities basic and the walk back from town steep, but many loved the value and would return. Management confirms upgrades.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Quiet, well spaced pitches

Disliked Toilets and showers for touring pitches were disgusting. Excrement on one cubicle which looked like it had been there for a while. Showers so dirty I couldn’t use them, and the dirt was not recent, it was clearly a lack of cleaning for quite some time. I couldn’t set my toiletries and towel anywhere it was so bad, couldn’t even hang my toiletries bag on the hook in the toilets while I went as there was “something” stuck to the door. 4 sinks, 3 had no water when turned to hot with one that dribbled out water but no hot water! Strangely I checked the block for the pods, they were clean enough. Do they think that touring campervan occupants are sub-human and don’t need clean facilities? That is a basic requirement regardless of what you pay per night. I’m furious that you think that is acceptable.

Liked Very tidy site. Main toilet block was clean. Level pitch, very well drained after all of the rain we had previous to my stay.
Excellent waste and recycling facilities. Can't comment on electric as I didn't use it. Lots of hot water. Excellent location for the nearby town although this is up hill there are buses.
Site entry is monitored by ANPR so I didn't speak with any site owner or warden during my stay although apparently there is one.
There isn't any WiFi on site which I knew about and had no problem with as the phone signal os very good.
Very handy for visiting the nearby Aberystwyth University student village if you are dropping off or picking up your young person.

Disliked I made the mistake of using the older shower block on the first night as I hadn't seen the one near the entrance. This one is functional! There isn't any WiFi on site which I knew about and had no problem with

Liked The site is well located for walking into Aberystwyth and into Clarrac Bay. 30 minutes walk into town via the road, or 50 minutes via Clarrc Bay and over the cliffs to the railway car and cafe. I would recommend this wayas itvis very senic.

Disliked The toilet and shower block could do with updating but this would not stop us returning.

Local attractions

Once you’ve got your bearings, you’ll want to get clued up on exactly what’s close by. Aberystwyth (five minutes’ drive) has a castle, cliff railway and the nostalgic Vale of Rheidol Railway, while Borth beach (10 minutes) will sort out swimming, surfing, fishing, sailing and windsurfing fans. For walks surrounded by pleasant coastal scenery, the Ynyslas beach and nature reserve (15 minutes) is a sure bet for that sort of stuff, while the Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest Visitor Centre (15 minutes) has plenty of walks or bike trails in a forest setting instead. There's also red kite feeding activities to mix things up a little there. Put your smarts to the test… you’ll find a few things to wrap your head around at the Centre for Alternative Technology (35 minutes). Meanwhile, Corris Craft Centre (35 minutes) will be a test of your artistic skills instead, while the Silver Mountain Experience (20 minutes) has escape rooms and tours around a Victorian mine. And what about King Arthur's Labyrinth (40 minutes), where re-enactments and boat tours bring the legends to life? Handily, with your guide, you shouldn't get too lost inside the Snowdonia mountains…
