About Woodlands Caravan Park

Woodlands is a family-run park set in the rural location of Devil's Bridge. The camping and touring field has mainly level, hardstanding and grass pitches, with uninterrupted views of the mountains. In addition to camping and touring, there is also a camping pod. Sleeping three, the Gypsy Pod has all the extras that make your trip easy - with electric supplied, lighting, heating and comfy benches for sleeping. A perfect way to travel light! There are picnic benches scattered throughout the site where you can eat al fresco whilst observing rabbits, squirrels and stunning red kites. Woodlands' 400 acre farm adjoins the camping field, giving you the freedom to go for walks straight from the camping field. There is good access from the main road, but the field is situated in a picturesque location undisturbed by traffic. You'll also find static caravans for sale on the park and a self catering bungalow available for rent on a nightly basis.

Woodlands Caravan Park is open from 01/03 to 31/10 in 2024 and 2025.

A note from the site themselves...

Our wonderful 400-acre farm offers pleasant walks and wonderful scenery for our guests to enjoy. You can expect to see a Red Kite flying over the site, and in the near distance, you will hear the heartwarming toot of the Vale of Rheidol steam train as it approaches Devils Bridge from Aberystwyth.

Our moto here is 'where friends and memories are made- a place to explore and much more.' We hope to welcome you soon, Georgina

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

While not holiday park size, it is a large spacious site with good Wi-Fi coverage across the majority of the site, which was handy as mobile phone service on our O2 network was non existent. The pitch size was adequate, we were on an allocated grass electric pitch, which was not the most level we have encountered but manageable. The grass entrance to the upper field camping area we were based soon became heavily rutted, as vehicles came and went after some heavy rainfall. This could easily have addressed by a layer of hardcore being fanned out near the field entrance, however, only a small number of vehicles had difficulty exiting the camping field. The toilet and amenities block were modern and kept extremely clean during our stay. However, there were electrical problems during the last few days of our stay which resulted the whole block being without lighting throughout the night on at least two nights while we were there. This led to the use of a torch being mandatory if using the toilet facilities at night. Be aware that there is little to no food provisions sold on site, so bring your own for your first night. Furthermore, the cafe, which also acts as the site shop, tended to close around 4:00pm so again, just be aware and don't expect to find a meal at the site shop after this time. Overall and in general, the site was well maintained and what staff we did speak to were friendly and helpful. Facilities were clean, Wi-Fi good and the pitches large enough to accommodate most units.

Super welcoming

In Devil's Bridge, scenic walks are available straight from the park and you can visit the world famous waterfalls and see the three bridges built one on top of another.

Take a trip on the Vale of Rheidol Steam Train which takes you into the seaside town of Aberystwyth. Taste the delicious hand made chocolates from the chocolate shop or enjoy a full evening meal in the Hafod Arm Hotel.

Just a short drive away:
