  • 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.

What customers say

Campers rave about the stunning spot and spotless, modern facilities, especially showers. Staff are friendly & helpful, pitches spacious. Great for Devil's Bridge & walks. WiFi glitches & cafe hours were minor issues. Highly recommended, many keen to return.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (four person)

Liked Greeted warmly at the reception, where we were told about the park and how to get to our pitch. We were informed that we would be interrupted by neighbouring sheep in our booked pitch and were asked if we would mind being moved to another. We were near the toilet block that was exceptionally clean and tidy. The sinks for cleaning dishes were clean and readily available. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

From the manager: Thank you for you review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at the Woodlands and hope to see you again one day soon.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Great location, peaceful and quiet. Well spaced pitches and spotless facilities.
Really clean and well maintained site.
Handy cafe at entrance of the site if you can't be bothered cooking.
All at a very good price point. Some are getting way too expensive for a camping pitch. Well done and keep it up.

Disliked Nothing.

From the manager: Dear Camper. We are a little surprised by your rating, as you cancelled last minute, so you didn't have the opportunity to experience our park or facilities. We've agreed to re arrange your booking free of charge with a credit of one night but you have given us a customer service rating of 3. This has bemused us as you seem pleased with that in your review comment. We are also confused by the rating of 3 for our WIFI which you haven't even used and you have also given us a 3 for our cleanliness! Kind regards, The Woodlands.

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.
