Entrance to the site, with the toilet block to the left

Quiet and simple campsite five minutes' walk from Ynyslas beach
Just under two miles from Borth; Aberystwyth 20 minutes' drive
Set on a smallholding with views over a nature reserve and an estuary

With a no-frills approach and golden sand five minutes’ stroll away, Tŷ-Gwyn Campsite is certainly worth writing home about. This peaceful, grassy site is set on a traditional smallholding on the coast of West Wales… and it doesn’t hold back on the views either. They include vistas over the Cors Fochno nature reserve, the Dyfi Estuary and the sea. Five minutes' walk from Ynyslas beach and within two miles of the popular seaside village of Borth, it's all about simple camping in a laidback environment here. The facilities, while basic, are good, with toilets, a shower block and washing-up facilities. Waste and recycling facilities are provided too. The site's no-frills design means you'll have plenty of time to set off over the sand dunes of Ynyslas, light up a barbecue (they're allowed on site as long as they're kept well off the grass) or to take your dog for long seaside strolls. One such walk takes the riverside footpath down to the village of Borth to catch the sunset. If the four miles there and back is a bit of a stretch, it's five minutes in the car, or there’s an hourly bus service that’ll sort the journey for you. Once you're in Borth, the village has plenty of handy amenities that may well come in handy, including a railway station, local shops, a fish and chip shop and pubs. That’s not forgetting the Borth Golf Club for those of you who have a good swing. Please note that a railway line runs alongside the site, with train movements once an hour.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: A lovely little site.

If you’re looking for a no frills campsite like the good old days.

There were enough toilets (male and female) which were nice and clean.

The washing up area looked great although I didn’t use it.

The pitches themselves are really very spacious (almost unlimited) and have beautiful views over the lovely estuary countryside.

Liked: End-of-season quiet, great view, facilities aren’t fancy but are always clean, friendly staff. Passing trains are loud, but not too many of them and they add to the site’s quirky charm. I’ve been several times before, and hope to go again!

Liked: Easy to find site entrance, warm welcome at reception caravan.
Staff advised on where to pitch for the best views, and the views were spectacular at day and night.
We were pitched in the perfect spot to see an amazing sunset followed by a harvest moon on the opposite side.
Toilets are basic but very clean and tidy.

Disliked: Nothing.

Local attractions

Getting to know this area starts with the local towns. In Aberystwyth (20 minutes’ drive), you could board the Vale of Rheidol Railway to chug around woodlands, or the cliff railway for views of the sea from up high. With escape rooms, an Edwardian theatre and a horse riding centre, there’s plenty of variety. The same can be said for Aberaeron (45 minutes), which joins up with The Coastal Way path and has a lively harbourside that operates wildlife-spotting boat trips. Machynlleth (20 minutes), part of the UNESCO Dyfi Biosphere, is home to local art galleries, antique stores and plenty of eateries to fuel your adventures outwards too. The energy is likely to come in handy for the Devil's Bridge Falls (35 minutes) in the Cambrian Mountains, where the trails take you through a wooded gorge with a waterfall. RSPB Ynys-hir (15 minutes), too, where the walks travel past salt marsh, oak woods and plenty of hiding places for wildlife. Keen to see more animals while on your adventures? The Animalarium (five minutes) is a small zoo with animals that were once held captive, while Dyfi Osprey Project (15 minutes) has a beaver family and ospreys.
