Dandelion camping pod

Liked Dandelion hut did not disappoint, we also had the weather on our side 🥵 ☀️ everywhere was spotless. Absolute heaven! Beach within a stones throw away if you swim a few feet out you’d find sand under your feet. We spent most of our stay paddle boarding. We will definitely be returning 100%

Disliked I couldn’t fault a thing!

Enjoyed a beer in the bar on the Friday and the food looked amazing.
All facilities clean and good standard.
Little one loved the park.

Nice relaxing break for two nights.

Disliked Quite isolated to local shops but if you bring all your essentials no need to bother which we did.

Local attractions

It’s quiet at the nearby Trefor beach (10 minutes' drive) and that’s part of what makes it such a fine spot for sea fishing. You might get hooked on all sorts of watersports locally too, particularly in Abersoch (half an hour), where surfing and wakeboarding are some of the ways to get your hair wet, or the 'Whistling Sands' at Porthor beach (45 minutes), which has fab surfing conditions. Away from the sand, first-timers could put their balance to the test with a lesson on the surf lagoon at Adventure Parc Snowdonia (an hour) too. Of course, there are all sorts of other activities all around the Snowdonia National Park (20 minutes), so when you’re looking for a way to wind things down, perhaps with a lighter walk, you could take in the turrets of Caernarfon Castle (20 minutes) or the smaller Bryn Bras Castle (20 minutes). Back to the coast, though, fishing villages are a fancy way to spend the way pottering around the shore. Porthdinllaen (20 minutes) has a beach and the popular Tŷ Coch Inn, while Portmeirion (half an hour) is modelled on Italian architecture, with sub-tropical gardens and a splendid spa, shops and eateries.
