Caravan site (added by manager 03 mar 2021)

Quiet season nice pitches and great for dog (added by visitor 17 oct 2023)

Peaceful pitches a mile from Aberystwyth town centre
A 10-minute drive from Borth beach; 20 minutes from Devil's Bridge
Easy access from main roads; dogs welcome

Make the most of Ceredigion’s countryside and set your compass to Bryncarnedd Caravan Park, a mile outside of Aberystwyth town centre. It is indeed a splendid spot here on what was once a busy dairy farm, and handily you’ll be well set for getting into town for shops, restaurants and attractions when you want them. These days, this place has been transformed into a peaceful caravan park with holiday lets in the surrounding old farm buildings. Dogs are welcome to join you on the pitches here – there are plenty of places to take them (or yourselves) for a walk on local pathways. Easy access to the local main roads (A44 and A487) means that it’s straightforward to get out and about for the area’s many activities and attractions, be they beaches, birdwatching, bike riding or exploring the area around Devils Bridge (waterfalls and cool bridges included). Back on site, though, there are well-maintained facilities, including a play area, washing-up area, chemical disposal point and modern bathroom block with toilets and showers to rinse off after a full-on day of adventuring.

Lesley H. Apr 2024

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: This is a beautiful site. The setting is gorgeous. The pitches were immaculate. We were a bit confused because we didn't realise that on arrival we just had to choose any pitch. The check in instructions didn't explain that.

Disliked: The toilet and shower facilities. Sorry but they are so basic in portacabins. These facilities let the site down.

Joy M. Apr 2024

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Easy directions, clean site & facilities. We only stayed one night, worked really well as a base while we moved our daughter back to uni

Disliked: First time booking through "pitch up"... Would have been helpful to know we didn't need to check in with anyone on arrival. We were sent our pitch number, but no site map. If we'd arrived in the dark we'd have struggled to know what to do. Difficult to know whether I was communicating with the site or with Pitch up ahead of stay

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: We were really pleased to book this site last minute as there was an issue with where we had meant to be staying. I booked on line quick and easy, called the owner to see where to park up. We could have hook up too which was handy. Facilities were all fine. Nice level pitch. Walking distance to town.

Local attractions

Once you’ve got your bearings, you’ll want to get clued up on exactly what’s close by. Aberystwyth (five minutes’ drive) has a castle, cliff railway and the nostalgic Vale of Rheidol Railway, while Borth beach (10 minutes) will sort out swimming, surfing, fishing, sailing and windsurfing fans. For walks surrounded by pleasant coastal scenery, the Ynyslas beach and nature reserve (15 minutes) is a sure bet for that sort of stuff, while the Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest Visitor Centre (15 minutes) has plenty of walks or bike trails in a forest setting instead. There's also red kite feeding activities to mix things up a little there. Put your smarts to the test… you’ll find a few things to wrap your head around at the Centre for Alternative Technology (35 minutes). Meanwhile, Corris Craft Centre (35 minutes) will be a test of your artistic skills instead, while the Silver Mountain Experience (20 minutes) has escape rooms and tours around a Victorian mine. And what about King Arthur's Labyrinth (40 minutes), where re-enactments and boat tours bring the legends to life? Handily, with your guide, you shouldn't get too lost inside the Snowdonia mountains…
