  • Small and scenic Llŷn Peninsula site, 15 mins' drive from Pwllheli
  • Tre'r Ceiri Hillfort five minutes' drive; 20 minutes to Abersoch
  • Dog-friendly site with dark skies for excellent stargazing
Families, couples, small groups, solo travellers, dog owners… there’s a warm Welsh welcome for all guests at this small site on the Llŷn Peninsula. In a rural location about 15 minutes’ drive from Pwllheli, Tyn on the Llyn Campsite is a scenic spot with gorgeous views of the surrounding landscapes, particularly at sunset. Being well away from any urban light pollution, there’s often also some spectacular stargazing to be done here on clear nights. Just the thing for some time spent appreciating the power of nature… To help preserve this fantastic location, facilities here are as eco-friendly as possible, with compost toilets, renewable energy and recycling facilities all in place. There’s also a wifi service, a covered communal seating area and a washing-up area with possibly one of the best views you’ve ever had while tackling the suds. Pwllheli is a handy source of shops and places to eat, and it’s also home to a three-mile stretch of beach that’s great for a family day out. There are more beaches nearby too: long sandy stretches, hidden coves and west-facing beaches with big waves for the surfers. As well as all that, there are various outdoor activities including watersports and mountain biking close by, and a whole lot of excellent historic attractions. The closest of these, at a few minutes’ drive, is Tre'r Ceiri Hillfort, known as one of the UK’s best-preserved Iron Age hillforts.
