  • Small and friendly touring site on a Llŷn Peninsula farm
  • Abersoch 20 minutes' walk; 15 minutes' drive to Pwllheli
  • Well-kept serviced touring pitches; dogs welcome
Family-friendly and family-run Sandy Farm is a small site that prides itself on providing the personal touch for guests – aiming for that real 'home from home’ vibe. The surf-loving owners are keen to introduce their guests to the very best of the Llŷn Peninsula, sharing their tips on how to make the most of the area’s outdoor activities, history and culture. This sweet little farm site is less than a mile from Abersoch, so you'll be able to walk to the village centre in around 20 minutes. The bigger town of Pwllheli, a popular watersports hub, is about 15 minutes’ drive away and the excellent surf beach Porth Neigwl is about five minutes away. You should find plenty of things to pack your days around the local area – so it’s good to know that you'll be coming back to a place where a lot of thought and effort has gone into designing the facilities. A smart modern bathroom block has four separate spacious bathrooms (one of which is accessible), each one with a toilet and hot shower, and the communal laundry/washing-up area has all the bits you'll need to keep your clothes and your crockery nice and clean. The pitches themselves have been just as well thought out: each one is made up of a spacious hardcore area surrounded with a grass patch, and has an electric hookup and grey waste facility. The site also has a wifi service to help you plan your outings and share pics of your lovely surroundings with the folk left back at home.

Anonymous The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Unfortunately our visit was not up to expectations.

Disliked: Considering the price the facilities are poor (despite them being new) sorry but a portacabin with just 3 loos with coin operated showers inside is not enough. If we hadn’t paid the balance and seen the shower block in advance we would have turned around and left forfeiting the deposit. At the price per night I would expect to not have to feed 20p coins into a shower!! I also expect loo roll, and a hand drier. The laundry was flooded but that may have been rain related.
The plaque on the gate says camping by the beach.. well it’s not… so don’t expect a beachside camp site.
The owner was almost laughable when he gave us each a 20p to have a shower on him and that their website lists the costs… no it’s does not.

No point raising the issues to the owner. The problems with the site should not even be an issue in 2025. He was friendly enough but there needs to be some changes to make it worth the price charged.

Local attractions

Abersoch (20 minutes' walk/three minutes' drive) is best known as a seaside village, so your first port of call should probably be its beach – it's a lovely sheltered sandy stretch that’s great for family days of paddling, picnicking and sandcastle building. Pwllheli (15 minutes' drive) also has a sandy beach, along with plenty of watersports options, and there’s fairly reliable surf at Porth Neigwl (five minutes). This part of Wales is particularly well served with castles, so take your pick from seafront Criccieth Castle (half an hour), imposing Caernarfon Castle (45 minutes) and Harlech Castle (55 minutes), site of the longest siege in British history. The Italian-style village of Portmeirion (45 minutes) is worth a trip too. There are lots of places to get out for a walk or bike ride near the farm, taking in seaside views and historic sites. If that's not enough, head east to Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park (45 minutes) for all manner of hiking trails and outdoor activities.
