Ffosygrafel Isaf Camping
View prices & book
- Small eco-friendly Ceredigion site with handcrafted facilities
- A 10-minute drive from Borth beach and 15 minutes from Aberystwyth
- Space to relax outside or in the hand-built roundhouse
Heading for the hills, or coming to the Ceredigion coast? Both options are easily possible when you stay at Ffosygrafel Isaf Camping. This small family-run site is at the southern end of the Dyfi Biosphere and about a 10-minute drive from the seaside town of Borth.
That location means you can mix and match countryside and coastal days out as you like, perhaps taking a good long walk along the Wales Coast Path, hitting the beach, hiking through the local hills or looking out for the big birds at Dyfi Osprey Project. There are plenty more family attractions around too – including the Animalarium and Silver Mountain Experience – and Aberystwyth is about 15 minutes’ drive away for shops, places to eat and cultural attractions.
It’s not all about getting out and about though, because this is also a lovely site for some chillout time. Pitches are nicely spacious and have access to facilities that have been mostly handcrafted by the owners using reclaimed materials where possible. The central feature is the splendid roundhouse, which has washing-up areas as well as sofas where you can relax and shelter from the weather (whether that’s rain or sun…)
As this is an eco-friendly site there are compost toilets and spacious solar-heated showers for guest use. It’s a fine spot for a digital detox too, with no wifi and little phone signal (although most people can get decent reception on the ‘phone bench’ in the field above the roundhouse when needed).
