  • 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.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: - Friendly, helpful owner.
- Child friendly - nice open campsite and places for children to play.
- Hot showers with good water pressure. Didn’t need to keep switching them on either, just an on/off which was LOVELY!
- location was lovely. 3 miles from a local shop and cafe which is accessible via foot too (I managed it with a dog, 1, 5 & 7 year old while my husband packed up on the day we were leaving).
- easily accessible site and location.

Disliked: Nothing!

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: This is our second stay here. Everything is great, toilets showers good, the views really makes it for me it's lovely, surrounded by mountains, fields, animals. Great for sunsets and star gazing. Enough room for kids to play. Marta who works on site is also very helpful and friendly. It's close to beaches, shops, pub which has a kids play area and dog friendly 5 minutes down the road called (Y Bryncynan, Morfa Nefyn)

Disliked: Nothing. But one criticism would be not having a children's play park. It would be 5 star if it did. Although there is enough room for children to play on site.

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: What a lovely, welcoming and homely camp site.
We were welcomed by Marta with a smile who showed us the onsite facilities and directed us to our grass pitch, which was a large flat area with great mountain views.
The toilets and showers are spotless whatever time you go to use them, there is an outside pot washing area and a room with a kettle so you can make a brew.
It’s a silly thing but it`s nice to see plenty of hooks in the shower cubicles and a place to put your shower gel when having a shower, there are so many camps out there without even a hook in them to hang your clothes.
With the camp site away from a main road it is beautifully quiet at night and no light pollution for stargazers.
We only stayed one night in our campervan and were sad to leave, but we will definitely be back.
Thanks again Marta.

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.
