Dolau Afon is a small, friendly, husband and wife run campsite and self-catering accommodation set within the Cambrian Mountains, in a designated International Dark Sky Area just 9 miles from the west coast, in Ceredigion, Wales. The Ystwyth river snakes past the camping field, providing a spot to take a dip and wild swim, or skim stones with the family, and you can take advantage of fishing rights, with a complimentary licence, from the riverbank. The brand-new Patio Pitch offers a covered area, a hammock, a fire pit and a picnic table with parasol. You're right by cycle route 81 and 82, with Aberystwyth station 8.9 miles away and Amgueddafa Ceredigion Museum 9.1 miles away.
