  • 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.

What customers say

Friendly owners, spotless facilities, and a great spot for kids and dogs. Pods are comfy, lodges basic but decent. Rural setting, so expect a drive for shops. Hooks in showers suggested. Manager responsive.

John B.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked Lovely area, very quiet. Small number of touring pitches with plenty of space. Hard standing but with grass around. All nicely kept.

Disliked Shower and toilet block unheated, hand drier not working and no hot water in hand basins or in the washing up area. Toilet waste disposal blocked or full up.

Barry M.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Not a lot

Disliked Poor for tent pitches. Pitches on small strips of grass next to caravans. Park in beautiful countryside but you can’t see it as over planted with trees. Tent pitches in shade until early afternoon.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: There are times when I'm lost for words, having spent time welcoming this retired gentleman to our park. Offering him a quiet spot away from the camping area ( lots of Children) for him to be so critical is simply unreasonable. So its rural Wales with undulating landscape oh and too many trees.

I suggest in future stick to the towns, mix with the kids, truly astonishing comments and factually wrong.

Dawid S.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Scenic site with trials all around so if you are a fan of trekking, this seems like a good place to visit. I really enjoyed the river at the campsite to dip my toes into the cold stream.

Disliked Not too many running routes if you are a runner. There are some a brief driving distance from the campsite.

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.
