  • Small, peaceful family-run site in the Ceredigion countryside
  • A 10-minute drive to Aberaeron; 15 minutes to New Quay
  • Village location a short walk from pub, shop and bus stop
One of the real perks of an outdoor stay is surely the chance to catch a glimpse of some wildlife in its natural habitat… and you’ve certainly got a great chance of that at Hafod Brynog Caravan and Camping Park. Guests at this small and peaceful Ceredigion park are often treated to the sight of red kites swooping low over the site. And that's not all – because although there’s green rural scenery all around this spot, it’s only a 15-minute drive to New Quay, a hub for sea safaris heading out into Cardigan Bay in search of sightings of the UK’s largest pod of bottlenose dolphins (plus seals and all sorts of sea birds). You may be tempted to think that such wildlife encounters usually involve long journeys along winding country lanes – but that's not the case here at all, as Hafod Brynog is easily accessed from the A482 in the little village of Ystrad Aeron. That edge-of-village location also means that it’s just a few minutes’ walk from the local pub, a well-stocked mini supermarket and a bus stop (for services to Aberaeron, Lampeter, New Quay and Aberystwyth). By day you may find yourselves filling hours with rural rambles, fishing and horse riding, heading to Aberaeron (10 minutes’ drive) for a beach day or wandering around Lampeter (also 10 minutes’ drive). And by night you’ll be staying at a well-kept family-run site that’s been kept fairly natural (to encourage all that wildlife) but where spacious pitches have access to toilets, showers, a washing-up area and a launderette.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Wonderfully quiet site with well spaced pitches and a shower to die for.
Nice little book swap and a fantastic washing machine. Short walk to the local shop and stopped in the local pub for a couple of pints and enjoyed a chat with a few locals.

Disliked Nothing at all.

Would be delighted to stay here again and would recommend it highly.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Really small and friendly site. Collin was so welcoming and returned my email and phone call in regards to a query I had. Really well kept site with a pub and well stocked shop walkable from the site. Very quiet area and so peaceful and relaxing. All the other site users were so friendly too. Really good toilets and showers that are kept immaculate. Have already booked a return visit for next year. Great location for getting around the rest of Ceredigion. If you like a quiet and peaceful site thats well maintained don't hesitate to book. You won't be disappointed.

Disliked Nothing at all. Just the fact I had to come home.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked A great welcome and introduction to the facilities. The facilities were as described, and the shower block was clean and well maintained.

The local shop at the garage was well stocked and walkable within minutes. The local community pub is being renovated so no food served currently but drinks and a warm welcome were available.

Can recommend the site, quiet, lots of birdsong and spacious camping pitches.

Close to attractions in Newquay, Aberaeron, Lampeter with a level of bus service available.

Great for relaxing

Disliked Probably nothing you can do about it, but it would have been nice to have a dog walk.
Had to walk along fairly busy road to get to any footpaths.

Local attractions

This part of the Aeron Valley has plenty of trails where walkers and cyclists can soak up some of the scenery, and you can also get out for horse rides or go fishing in nearby lakes and rivers. The National Trust’s Llanerchaeron property (five minutes’ drive) is a lovely place for a wander through the walled garden and farmyard, and the pretty displays of Cae Hir Gardens (five minutes) are also worth a visit. Over at the coast, there are lots of great places to eat in Aberaeron (10 minutes), and it’s got a busy programme of events including a seafood festival and a carnival. New Quay (15 minutes) has the Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre as well as those dolphin-spotting trips, and there are lots of beaches to try out, including Llanrhystud (20 minutes) and Llangrannog (half an hour). There’s often something going on in the university town of Lampeter (10 minutes) too, and it’s got a couple of museums and a town trail tracing the town’s importance in the history of Welsh rugby.
