  • Family-run site on a quiet Ceredigion farm, for CAMC members only
  • A 10-minute drive to Aberystwyth; half an hour to New Quay
  • Near the Ystwyth Trail for walks and cycling
Picking a spot for some time spent exploring the gorgeous Ceredigion coastline? If you’re a member of the Caravan and Motorhome Club, you should certainly take a look at Penygraig Farm Certified Location, a family-run site within 32 acres of gorgeous countryside a couple of miles from Aberystwyth. This farm site has been welcoming guests to its fabulous location since 1988, providing a handy base for both countryside and coast time. With easy access from the A487 (the main road running north-south through Ceredigion), it’s splendidly simple to get to – and once you’re installed you can head out on foot or bikes along the nearby Ystwyth Trail. That trail runs all the way along the banks of the river to Aberystwyth, 2.5 miles away; if you’d rather drive, it’s likely to take a little under 10 minutes. The town is well known as a great place to visit, with attractions like the cliff railway and National Library of Wales as well as beaches and a pier. Aberystwyth may be your local town while you’re staying here, but it’s far from the only place to visit nearby, as this convenient location puts you within easy reach of seaside spots including Borth, Aberaeron and New Quay, plus inland attractions like Devil's Bridge Waterfalls and the Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest Visitor Centre. When you’re not out and about, you’ll be able to soak up the quiet atmosphere at this small-scale site, perhaps taking a meal over to the picnic area. Facilities have been kept simple to preserve the peaceful setting, but you’ll have access to toilets and showers on site.

What customers say

Quiet, neat farm spot with spotless ablutions. Lovely countryside, views and cycle path to Aberystwyth. Friendly, helpful owners. Great value. Slight slopes might need ramps; one loo/shower can be a squeeze. Branch issues on road fixed.

 Allan H. 1 review

Non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch (members only)

Liked Amazing view. Walks in many directions. Aberystwyth was only a safe 40 minute walk away on a tarmac path / cycle lane. Very quiet. Toilet and shower were immaculate. Owner was extremely helpful. Very easy to visit many places. Wellington’s Column was an amazing view point.

Disliked Steepness of the hill down into the site. Position of the caravan club sign on the main Aberystwyth Road was very difficult to see until you were on top of it. Please move it nearer to the road or another sign 100yds away in both directions. Give other drivers time to react.

Michael S. 5 reviews

Non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch (members only)

Liked Beautiful maintained simple camping field in wonderful rural setting. Only five pitches so a single toilet and shower are all that it needs, and both immaculately clean; the shower was much appreciated at the end of a hot day.
Adjacent to a cycling or walking route into Aberystwyth, with a bus stop also a short walk away.

Local attractions

Aberystwyth (10 minutes’ drive) is likely to be your first port of call, for the beach, the National Library of Wales and the castle. You can also ride the UK’s second-longest funicular railway up to the top of Constitution Hill for crazy golf, a camera obscura and various games for the kids. From Aberystwyth you can also board trains on the Vale of Rheidol Railway to visit Devil’s Bridge Waterfalls – or if you’d rather drive there, it’s about 20 minutes from the farm. Not far from the falls are the Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest Visitor Centre, which holds daily red kite feeding sessions, and The Magic of Life Butterfly House, where you can get hands on with the colourful insects. For some seaside time, head to the sandy beach in Borth (20 minutes’ drive), hit the seafood restaurants in Aberaeron (25 minutes) or visit New Quay (half an hour) for dolphin-spotting boat trips.
