  • In the Llŷn National Landscape; Porth Ceiriad surfing 20 minutes’ walk
  • Quiet dog-friendly touring pitches; Wales Coast Path 10 minutes’ walk
Porth Ceiriad surfing beach 20 minutes’ walk away. Lively seaside Abersoch with its popular beaches, shops and restaurants 10 minutes’ drive. Fantastic sunsets and occasional glimpses of the Northern Lights. If that sounds like just the job for a Gwynedd getaway, you’d better get booking Penrhyn Camping Site. And there’s more. This small, friendly and family-run site sits in the gorgeous Llŷn National Landscape and is 10 minutes’ stroll from the scenic Wales Coast Path, where you can walk to your heart’s content while enjoying spectacular views from the cliffs. Dogs are welcome to join you as long as they are kept on leads. Plus… peace is virtually guaranteed thanks to this touring site being designed for families and couples only – there are no noisy late nights here. The site offers fully serviced hardstanding pitches with electricity, water and grey water drainage connections. Facilities include a well-maintained shower block, a coin-operated washing machine and tumble dryer in the laundry and a washing-up room.

Local attractions

Abersoch (five minutes’ drive/30 minutes’ walk) is often the first stop for family days lounging on the soft sandy beach, windsurfing or dinghy sailing adventures, and teaching the kids to swim in calm waves. Expert surfers will probably head for Porth Ceiriad beach (20 minutes’ walk), where waves come barrelling in at high tide; on calmer days it’s suitable for snorkelling or swimming. You’re never far from the sea in the stunning Llŷn National Landscape, where you can swim off the sheltered beach and stop by the National Trust’s Porth y Swnt visitor centre. Stand on the tip of the peninsula at Mynydd Mawr (35 minutes), where you have views of Bardsey Island in the Irish Sea from the soaring black cliffs; you can take a ferry from Porth Meudwy (40 minutes) to visit the seabird and grey seal colonies on the islet. For serious hiking, biking and climbing, the valleys and peaks of Eryri National Park await 40 minutes’ drive away. Active families looking for an adrenaline rush can take to the high-speed zipwires over the disused slate quarry at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (about an hour).
