  • 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: The site was small and friendly. The pitches were clean and tidy and plenty of greenery around the site giving it a quaint feel. You did not feel you were in rows of many vans. Would visit again.

Disliked: Showers were very clean but could do with a slight upgrade.

Camping pod (no pets, two person)

Liked: Very quiet site with clean facilities (shower, toilet, utility room). Lovely setting and friendly owner/staff. Glamping lodge is basic but 100% better than a tent! Lodge is clean, bring your own bedding etc as you would if you're camping (this is explained on the website).

Power optional gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: We loved this campsite so much, it was just what we needed. The owners and team were really lovely, the facilities were immaculate for the entire 12 days that we stayed and the little park was a hit with our girls 7 & 5 we felt so safe there.

Disliked: The rain but that wasn’t the campsites fault :-) oh and the wifi wasn’t great but I’ve never come across a camp site that has good wifi.

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.
