  • Family-friendly smallholding in a rural location on the Llŷn Peninsula
  • Spectacular views towards the peak of Moelypenmaen
  • Lots of open space for kids to play
Get back to nature among spectacular surroundings with a stay at Gwynedd's Rhos Y Foel, in the middle of the Llŷn Peninsula a short drive from more lush landscapes at Snowdonia National Park. Set with views towards the rocky peak of Moelypenmaen, Rhos Y Foel is a small and family-friendly site, with a wide swathe of open space on which the kids can let loose. Well-behaved dogs are welcome. Rhos Y Foel is a level and almost completely flat site – no uncomfy bumpy groundsheet nights here – and has a facilities block with hot running water. Off-ground barbecues are allowed and firepits are available on site: for supplies, the local village is Boduan and the shops and services of market town Pwllheli are a few miles away.

Liked: A lovely welcome on arrival. We were on a fully serviced hard standing pitch which was spacious, enough for awning and car. Lovely field space in the middle for the children to play safely.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked: Beautiful location and very central in the Llyn peninsula so a good base for exploring different places. Site is well managed and kept clean and well maintained. The site manager was available regularly and checked in on whether people needed anything. Plenty of space for kids to play. Quiet after 10pm. Not far to go for groceries or a meal at the pub. Showers were decent and warm.

Disliked: Only two showers which was ok but adding one or two more would be an enhancement.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked: Lovely location surrounded by great views of the Welsh countryside. Amenities were good, enjoyed a firepit every night and had a great three days on the site. The pitches were level and well spaced apart so even though the site was busy, we never felt too close to other tents. Marta was really helpful and friendly and we felt very welcome. Will definitely be visiting again.

Local attractions

As you'll know if you've ever had the sense to go there, the Llŷn Peninsula is lovely land, with sea all around as it jabs 30 miles into the Irish Sea from north-west Wales's tip. Rhos Y Foel is in an excellent setting to get to the best of its hills and coast in the site surrounds, and to explore the mountains and other highlights of Snowdonia a short drive away. Around the peninsula, have seaside days at resorts like Abersoch, Nefyn, Morfa Nefyn and Pwllheli, all just a few miles away, or get active with afternoons among the wakeboarding, bowling, quad biking, go karting and fishing of Glasfryn Parc nearby at Pwllheli; soft play, food, a farm shop and a bar are at this latter as well. Paintball is nearby if you want to take things up a notch. Another top local option for families is the award-winning GreenWood Forest Park, where you can paddle among trees, make things work at the world's only people-powered rollercoaster, see a live show, meet the animals or try den building and archery. More animal meeting is at Dwyfor Rabbit Farm, or drive to the foot of Snowdonia for a more active family day out at Gypsy Wood. The famed 18-hole Nefyn & District Golf Club at Porthdinllaen is only a few minutes from the site.
