  • Llŷn Peninsula site with mountain views
  • Wales Coast Path and Glasfryn Parc activity centre within 10 minutes
  • Shop selling ice cream and playground; 10 minutes' drive from Pwllheli
Soft spot for steam trains? Make tracks for Rhosfawr Caravan and Camping Park and you’ll have three heritage lines to travel, all of them climbing through the fine scenery of Snowdonia National Park. This family-friendly site in Gwynedd is 10 minutes’ drive from Pwllheli and makes a top base for steam safaris and seaside days, hill walks and castle tours. And when you’ve climbed every mountain (apologies to Julie Andrews…), it’s a spacious spot to stretch out in and soak up the views. While you’re soaking you can be sure the smaller members of your party are safe: the site’s set back a long way from the main road down a driveway, so there’s ample room for larking about, along with a playground. Appetites expanded by all that outdoor activity can soon be satisfied with a stroll over to the shop, which sells ice creams. If you need more in the way of provisions, there are shops and supermarkets in Pwllheli, and barbecues and campfires are permitted back on site.

Fully-serviced grass touring caravan pitch

Liked Quiet, tidy, well kept, and fairly priced pitch fees

Disliked Needs updating e.g. facilities that hold the toilets / showers. Entrance signage renewed would also give better first impression. More space between pitches for comfort.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great location about 10 mins drive from both Nefyn and Pwllheli. Nice and quiet site that caters well to families and safe for children to play on the road with bikes. There are toys and a small play park on the tent field to keep the kids entertained. Toilets/showers clean and close by.

Disliked Nothing.

Jessica J.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Spacious area for the children to play. A nice chilled basic campsite not far away from Pwllheli. We were a group of 3 families and the owner was able to have us all together. No WiFi which we didnt mind at all.

Disliked Toilets, showers, washing up room are not the greatest ones we have come across and need to remember to bring toilet roll. Doesn't put us off from visiting again though

Local attractions

Active family? Report to Glasfryn Parc (10 minutes' drive) for go-karting and Segway rides, archery, wakeboarding and 10-pin bowling. Those with further energies to burn can take to the waters at Pwllheli for kayaking, windsurfing and paddleboarding or zipwire their way through ZipWorld Slate Caverns (45 minutes) finishing off with bounces on the underground trampolines and feats of daring on the caverns’ high ropes. It doesn’t have to be all busy busy on the beach though: Pwllheli’s wide sands make a grand venue for long seaside walks and Barmouth an hour away is a 'bucket and spade and donkey ride' sort of place with sea trips and estuary cruises for those who just like to sit. Brought your boots? It’s a 10-minute drive to Nefyn, where you can link up with the Wales Coast Path, and 40 minutes to National Trust-protected Craflwyn and Beddgelert for trails through the Aberglaslyn Pass, wanders to Cwm Llan waterfall and multi-use paths around the wildlife-filled shores of Llyn Dinas lake. Whether you take one train into the hills or tick off the lot, a steam ride is a must-do: the puffers of the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway lines depart Porthmadog (25 minutes) for both Caernarfon and Blaenau Ffestiniog, while coal-fired trips to the sometimes snowy top of Mount Snowdon leave from Llanberis (45 minutes).
