  • 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 site
Very clean
Friendly staff and helpful
Very well kept
Been here twice now would definitely return
Very close to Devils bridge and Aberystwyth

Disliked: Pitches are on a slope so made it difficult cooking as pans didn't slide.
Showers you need to constantly press every 30 seconds, would be nice for them not to be on a timer

Excellent site - I will stay again (and often)

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Wonderful site The toilet block is the best of any site we have ever stayed at, in the 60 years we have been camping
Unusual 'features' placed throughout the site adds interest to the overall beauty of the campsite.

Disliked: Only one criticism the 'Elson' unit, which is of a standard design we have seen before, the heavy metal lid needs a retention device to stop in snapping back down as you are about to empty the toilet container . (The hinge is to backward to allow the lid to rest safely against the cistern tank).

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Fantastic site.
Shower blocks are great, very clean. The pitches are a great size and not at all squeezed together.
The local area is stunning.
It was very quite during our visit as it was during term time.

Disliked: No local shops.
Make sure you arrive well stocked.
The nearest proper supermarket is in Aberystwyth 20 min drive.

From the manager: Thank you for the great review. We hope to see you again soon.

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.
