  • Family-run site under an hour’s drive from the Welsh coast
  • Mid-Wales countryside setting 20 minutes' drive from Machynlleth
  • Games room and playground on site
On your marks, get set, and CrinGOed to this friendly, family-orientated park sitting pretty in the mid-Wales countryside, under an hour’s drive away from the Welsh coast. A warm welcome from the Cringoed Caravan Park owners awaits: they've been working hard for over 15 years to perfect this family-run gem, leading to a well laid-out park set against spectacular woods. Comfort is the name of the game here: hot showers and electric hook-up is available, as are dishwashing facilities, a laundry, chemical disposal point and access to wifi. Kids have a play area and games room to keep them busy in weathers both fair and foul. Dogs are allowed all year round too, so be sure to bring the pooch along to take part in proceedings. For supplies, the village of Llanbrynmair (with its convenience store and homely pub) is a mile away, and the cafés, pubs and shops of Machynlleth are just over 20 minutes away by car.

Power optional gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Ruhig an einer Strasse / Bach gelegen. Stellplatz an sich sehr gepflegt. Was man von den Waschhäusern und Spülhaus leider nicht behaupten kann. Es ist alles sehr in die Jahre gekommen.
Sind einen Tag früher abgereist.

Disliked Spinnweben überall im Männlichen sowie Weiblichen Waschhaus. Spülhaus dringend renovierungsbedürftig und auch voller Spinnweben.
Eine grobe Reinigung erfolgte erst am nächsten Tag. Wir waren nur zu zweit dort.
WLAN war auch nicht gut.
Den Besitzer haben wir nie gesehen.

Personal and very helpful service. Provided all the facilities we required. Good…

Power optional gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked A very quiet and peaceful campsite with beautiful surrounding, the site is clean with a good shower and washing block and the family who run it and very nice and welcoming. There is a running stream alongside it, which me and my little played in with our wellies on and it has a nice play area also. It was a pleasant 40 mins drive to either Aberdyfi or Twywn, we opted for Twyen which was a lovely little town with an amazing steam train ride. We took the Talyllyn Railway to Abergynolwyn and there was a great play area and woodland to explore before heading back.

Disliked Only thing which disappointed us, was that our pitch was against some trees and so we had no view from from the caravan other than an really old caravan we were parked next to which looked abandoned.

Peace and quiet…

Liked Very quiet and tranquil. Clean pod and facilities.

Disliked I understand why the mattress is covered in plastic but it makes it a hard surface to sleep on

Local attractions

Cringoed is at the gateway to Snowdonia, not far from the sea and the Cambrian Mountains, yet conveniently placed near to a myriad of main roads which makes exploring the surrounding area a cinch. Join the 135-mile Glyndŵr's Way nature trail from the site: from farmland to moorland, forests to lakes and reservoirs – you can explore the best of the Welsh countryside and get your fill of cultural and natural history as you follow the footsteps of Owain Glyndŵr. For walkers wanting more, Snowdonia is also within easy reach. Prefer more sea than sky? Aberdovey (also 40 minutes by car) has watersports from the high octane to the high relaxing – sailing, rowing, canoeing, fishing… take your pick. The award-winning beaches are ideal for those perfecting the art of spectating too. Barmouth harbour, just under an hour to the west, also has uncrowded beaches for you to take up your spot in the sunshine.
