  • 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.

David W. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Very well kept farm site, with very clean facilities that is within walking/cycling distance of Caernarfon down the path that runs alongside the steam railway. It still feels like you're in a rural setting. You can get on pitch anytime after 11 which is a bonus. You choose any free pitch and get on with your holiday. Excellent phone and tv signal. The toilets and showers are available 24hrs a day and are cleaned during quiet periods, and if guests do their bit they'll stay as immaculate as ever. It's a gem of a site and one of our favourites.

Disliked: There is very little to dislike, actually nothing for us but some will have issues with the following:
It's a working farm, so occasionally you will encounter working farm smells, but these are kept to a minimum.
You'll hear the occasional toot from the steam train during the day and hear some aircraft but this is not intrusive.
The cockerel keeps good time, so light sleepers might require ear plugs.
You'll have minimal interaction with the owners beyond a text message giving payment details and directions to the site, so don't expect anyone on the gate waiting to direct you to a pitch. They are running a farm.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Amazing campsite. Clean, spacious, fantastic facilities. Very clean toilets and showers. One of the best we've been to. Even on a farm you couldnt smell it.

Not a huge campsite, only campervan / caravan park.

Lovely 25min walk into Caernarfon on a bike path, so very safe - my kids scootered the whole way.

Disliked: Could do with a kids playarea, but it wasn't missed.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Loved the quiet campsite, facilities were clean and tidy, and loved that there was recycling. It felt remote, but close enough to local facilities when needed. The children loved the local cycle route less than 5mins from the campsite which followed the steam train track and they loved going to watch the train go past each morning too.

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.
