  • Small, family-run wildlife haven 12 miles from Aberystwyth
  • Tregaron and Cors Caron nature reserve about 10 minutes' drive
  • Friendly owners, dog-walking area and clean amenities
Ever been to the Aeron valley near Aberystwyth? It's really rather lush – so much so that local lyricist Dylan Thomas named his daughter Aeronwy after the river here (what a poetic parent). The valley's a birdwatching haven that amateur ornithologists flock to, although you won't have to stir far to see local flyers if you stay at small family-run Aeron View Camping… the park is often frequented by red kites. If you'd like to see them, guests can ask at the house. Owners Sue and Alex oversee this wildlife-lover's site, which has all the essentials (including a washing-up area, toilets and showers) plus a few added extras like a dedicated dog-walking area (with free biodegradable bags available at reception to pick up any canine deposits).

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: A nice little site, very quiet off season but I imagine it's busy in the summer with the statics and caravans in use. Small and neat facilities with further toilets available in the summer. Lots of picnic tables is a great addition too. Beautiful location, several nature reserves nearby and check out the lovely quirky Bwlch y Geuffordd open garden, especially if you have kids to entertain. I only saw the owner very briefly after my arrival but he was very friendly (and Tango the cat came to visit frequently and kept me company). The red kites weren't fed on the Saturday that I was there however they were flying low over the site in the evening (possibly wondering where their supper was?) so I got a good view of them anyway!

Disliked: Be careful when planning your journey to the site as Google Maps sent me via Abergwesyn Common and up the Devil's Staircase. My small van was fine but larger vehicles might have problems.

Abi 3 bedroom static caravan

Liked: Beautifully kept little site. A lovely warm welcome on arrival and the static caravan I stayed in was lovely and clean. The little secure dog walk area is a great touch so my dog could have a mad run around after a long journey. I arrived on a Saturday so was able to see the red kites being fed. What an amazing experience! The book exchange/information hut is such a lovely touch too. Highly recommend to anyone and would love to stay again in the future. Many thanks!

Camping pod

Liked: The location is beautiful, and the site has everything you need. Washing up facilities, showers and toilets were all kept clean, and there are even fridges to keep your food fresh. The pods were fabulous - clean, and cosy even in October - with a heater, kettle and toaster, and sturdy camp beds provided. The owners very kindly fed the kites especially for us, too, as we had not been there for the regular Saturday feeding. It was amazing to see so many all at once!

Disliked: Sometimes the WiFi dropped out on an iPhone (but an Android phone seemed fine)

Local attractions

What lovely land this is… in a river valley close to the coast and full of options for walks, wildlife and birdwatching, coarse and game fishing and heaps of Welsh history… If you're here for nature, start off at Cors Caron, a nearby reserve on 2,000 acres of bog built up from thousands of years' worth of peat layers. It's well known for its wildlife, especially winter migrating birds, grassland birds and adders, and otters around the River Teifi, which runs at various points in and around the reserve. Welsh history? Four miles to Aeron View Camping's south west lies the 13th-century market town of Tregaron and home of the Welsh Gold Centre (if you're around in summer, get into town for the Tregaron 'Trotian' event – horse trotting and carriage racing). The Dolaucothi Gold Mines, first delved into by the Romans, are within 15 miles. Finally, make time for at least a day in excellent Aberystwyth, 12 miles to the north west from Aeron View, for at least one trip on the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway to the top of Constitution Hill for a fab vista of Cardigan Bay.
