  • Rural site on a dairy farm 20 minutes' walk from Caernarfon
  • Half an hour from Snowdonia, Anglesey and the Llŷn Peninsula
  • Well-kept amenities including an accessible wetroom
Snowdonia National Park, Anglesey’s beaches, the lovely Llŷn Peninsula… if you fancy taking in lots of the local faves on your north-west Wales hols, take a look at handily placed Maes Carafanau Hendy Caravan Park. From this relaxed rural spot on a working dairy farm it’s around half an hour by car to all of the above, and a 20-minute stroll to historic Caernarfon, famed for its UNESCO-listed castle but also a popular place for poking about in the town’s independent shops and cafés. The Welsh Highland Railway and the Lôn Eifion cycle path pass by the site too, giving guests easy access to all sorts of ways to roam. Those in search of heaps of on-site activities will have to look elsewhere, as the Joneses have chosen to keep their place as peaceful as poss, focusing on doing the essential amenities to top standards. The large pitches have space to spread about a bit with access to electrical hookups and drinking water, and the top-notch bathroom facilities have hot showers, an accessible wetroom… and hairdryers for those days when the Welsh weather has messed with your mop.

What customers say

This peaceful, tidy farm site boasts roomy, serviced spots and top-notch, spotless facilities. Enjoy lovely country views, a short walk to Caernarfon via a nice bike path. Minor farm smells/noise were generally fine. WiFi's a bit hit-and-miss, but most guests rave about it and plan to return.

Liked Pitches are large and pretty level with fabulous views over the countryside. Very convenient to walk into Caenerfan . Cycle/pedestrian path literally at the end of the road which was great for walking our dogs. Booking was easy and communication with the owner was friendly and efficient.
We didn't use the showers but looked immaculate when we looked at them. All in all extremely good value for money.
Would definitely return and definitely recommend

Liked Lovely peaceful site, clean, and everyone was friendly. You get the sounds from the working farm, but that was part of its charm. Price was reasonable, and there is a nice walk in to Caernarfon. I’ve never used a campsite before, as I was borrowing a campervan, and for my first experience, this site did everything I needed.

Disliked Turned up and there was only one spot available, which had a sign saying it was reserved for someone else. Parked there anyway as no one was there to greet or direct us.

Local attractions

Start by taking a stroll into Caernarfon to see the mighty waterfront castle, a huge and well-preserved place with lots to see and plenty of puzzles and activities for the tiddlers; it’s worth having a look around the Royal Welch Fusiliers Regimental Museum while you’re here too. The Welsh Highland Railway runs steam train rides from Caernarfon: grab a spot at the station to watch them depart or get all aboard for the 25-mile ride through the mountains to Porthmadog. If you prefer to travel under your own steam, there’s easy access to the scenic 12-mile Lôn Eifion cycle path, a hard-surfaced path that skirts the edge of Snowdonia for some great views and village visits. For days by the seaside, cross the Menai Suspension Bridge to Anglesey – there are some lovely beaches on the island (Traeth Cymyran, 40 minutes away, is perhaps the most popular) – and the excellent Anglesey Sea Zoo, home to a seahorse breeding programme and the Lobster Hatchery of Wales. Head south instead and it’s around a half-hour drive to Pwlheli on the Llŷn Peninsula, for more splendid beaches as well as wildlife-watching boat trips.
