Family-run touring park in the Rheidol valley, 12 miles from Aberystwyth
About Woodlands Caravan Park
Woodlands Caravan Park sits in the village of Devil's Bridge, in the wooded Rheidol valley about twelve miles inland from Aberystwyth. The family-run park has built up a strong reputation over the years, holding a four-star Welsh Tourist Board grading and recent TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice recognition alongside a Pitchup award. Guests consistently praise the friendly, helpful owners and the peaceful woodland setting, though a few note that facilities, while clean and well-maintained, can feel a touch dated in places.
The park takes touring caravans, motorhomes and tents, and also has static caravans and gypsy caravan-style glamping pods for anyone who wants a roof without towing one in. Dogs are welcome across the park, and the surrounding forestry trails, the Ystwyth cycle route and good walking country make it a popular choice for active visitors as well as families. Beyond Devil's Bridge Falls on the doorstep, the park makes a workable base for birdwatching, fishing and mountain biking in the wider Cambrian Mountains, with Aberystwyth a straightforward drive or steam railway ride away.

What visitors say
First time visiting a camp site in wales, and can not fault this place one bit. Staff are very accommodating and lovely. The site is very well kept with staff coming around to check in the grounds regularly, toilets and washing up area kept very clean. And the cafe on site does an exceptional breakfast Would highly recommend and we will be back to visit it There is a Morrisons is around a 20 minute drive away

As first-time visitors, we checked in at reception, where a young gentleman kindly arranged for our campsite to be next to my friend's. The environment is beautiful and peaceful, and the facilities are exactly as shown on their website. Despite the number of people using them, everything is kept clean and tidy. I would like to extend special thanks to the team. My vehicle unexpectedly ran out of battery before we left, and my portable jump starter wasn’t working. We planned to go somewhere to buy a new one, so we went to the reception to leave a message about my vehicle's situation. The young lady at the reception informed us that they had a large portable jump starter and arranged to get it for us immediately. When we returned to the campsite, the technician arrived at the same time. In just a few minutes, everything was resolved, and my vehicle was able to start again. Many thanks to the team! I highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys camping.

very nice camping, everything very clean, bathrooms very clean and new. Very good destination for cycling, 8 min driving from the bike park. Very good communication with the staff before to arrive. Definitely we will come back for more days.

This is the nicest campsite we've stayed at & have returned 3 times. It's ideally located in mid west Wales so is great for days out heading north, south it to the coast. My wife is disabled & finds the facilities great to use. The campsite is also very peaceful & ideal for heading out on walks with your dog. There's also a nice little dog walk on the campsite. We'll be returning again soon.
