  • Family-friendly smallholding in a rural location on the Llŷn Peninsula
  • Spectacular views towards the peak of Moelypenmaen
  • Lots of open space for kids to play
Get back to nature among spectacular surroundings with a stay at Gwynedd's Rhos Y Foel, in the middle of the Llŷn Peninsula a short drive from more lush landscapes at Snowdonia National Park. Set with views towards the rocky peak of Moelypenmaen, Rhos Y Foel is a small and family-friendly site, with a wide swathe of open space on which the kids can let loose. Well-behaved dogs are welcome. Rhos Y Foel is a level and almost completely flat site – no uncomfy bumpy groundsheet nights here – and has a facilities block with hot running water. Off-ground barbecues are allowed and firepits are available on site: for supplies, the local village is Boduan and the shops and services of market town Pwllheli are a few miles away.

Geoff D.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Good location for Nefyn and Morfa Nefyn, beautiful views from the site. Good level new pitch, fully serviced.
The young lady looking after the site was nice, helpful and informative.

Disliked The toilets need upgrading would be my only recommendation. They where clean enough but dated and small. All else OK.

Derek H.

Primitive grass tent or campervan campsite

Liked Location, toilets looked like they were cleaned regularly throughout the day, price okay.

Disliked We stayed on the August Bank Holiday and the site was fully booked. The site was too cramped with just over a car’s length allocated to each pitches’ width. The site resembled a giant car park, especially at the end we were at as the field tapers quite a lot.

Antoaneta Livia B.

Primitive grass tent or campervan campsite

Liked Very nice and quiet place. Clean toilets and washing area. We've stayed at a tent without electricity but we could use the plugs from the utility room.
The view of the mountains was beautiful and the beach was not too far.
Too bad we could not stay longer!

Local attractions

As you'll know if you've ever had the sense to go there, the Llŷn Peninsula is lovely land, with sea all around as it jabs 30 miles into the Irish Sea from north-west Wales's tip. Rhos Y Foel is in an excellent setting to get to the best of its hills and coast in the site surrounds, and to explore the mountains and other highlights of Snowdonia a short drive away. Around the peninsula, have seaside days at resorts like Abersoch, Nefyn, Morfa Nefyn and Pwllheli, all just a few miles away, or get active with afternoons among the wakeboarding, bowling, quad biking, go karting and fishing of Glasfryn Parc nearby at Pwllheli; soft play, food, a farm shop and a bar are at this latter as well. Paintball is nearby if you want to take things up a notch. Another top local option for families is the award-winning GreenWood Forest Park, where you can paddle among trees, make things work at the world's only people-powered rollercoaster, see a live show, meet the animals or try den building and archery. More animal meeting is at Dwyfor Rabbit Farm, or drive to the foot of Snowdonia for a more active family day out at Gypsy Wood. The famed 18-hole Nefyn & District Golf Club at Porthdinllaen is only a few minutes from the site.
