  • 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.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked: A very quiet and peaceful campsite with beautiful surrounding, the site is clean with a good shower and washing block and the family who run it and very nice and welcoming. There is a running stream alongside it, which me and my little played in with our wellies on and it has a nice play area also. It was a pleasant 40 mins drive to either Aberdyfi or Twywn, we opted for Twyen which was a lovely little town with an amazing steam train ride. We took the Talyllyn Railway to Abergynolwyn and there was a great play area and woodland to explore before heading back.

Disliked: Only thing which disappointed us, was that our pitch was against some trees and so we had no view from from the caravan other than an really old caravan we were parked next to which looked abandoned.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Nice location

Disliked: Ridiculously over priced for a small tent.
The tents are placed at the other end of the park from the facilities, which are unclean and the shower curtains were covered in mold.
Couldn't find a drinking water tap.

From the manager: A personal message to the back packer who wrote this. Naturally we were more than concerned at your feedback and it has took a few days to digest your thoughts. Having had so many positive comments over the summer without question we feel its only right we respond.

So the pricing,, fully understand the pricing is geared up for two occupants, and it's something we should address.

Were keen to keep our standards at the very highest for all of the season, so we are most puzzled by the very poor score for facilities and customer service. So we have a small area for campers and yes its literally 20 second walk to the facilities, is this really too far.

Upon arrival you were greeted with our usual welcoming smile and understanding as we recall you were exhausted. So our customer service is questioned and unfortunate in its conclusion. As you know you were directed to the camping area, passing the facilities, a washing up room with fresh drinking water, perhaps you didn't take this onboard whilst we were chatting.

We are onboard with you, one of the shower curtains were soiled and let our image down, but for sure the facilities were cleaned to highest standards appraised all year.

This is a personal address to the young lady who penned this and sincerely hope you will visit us again and stay with us for a couple of nights at our expense.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked: The site was small and friendly. The pitches were clean and tidy and plenty of greenery around the site giving it a quaint feel. You did not feel you were in rows of many vans. Would visit again.

Disliked: Showers were very clean but could do with a slight upgrade.

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.
