  • 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.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The serenity of sites locality. Simply stunning. Great showers and facilities. The views were awesome and I could not fault the service given by Sam and the young lady who lives on site. Friendly, accommodating & willing to offer their help when my husband and I got stuck in the mud with our motorhome. Nothing was too much trouble and the site staff went the extra mile to make sure we were happy

Disliked: The only concern was the muddy field BUT that was out of the hands of the site owner/ managers who, in total respect, made sure that we were suitably accommodated having helped get us out of our muddy situation - respect and no fault to them

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: Location and convenience to local beaches

Disliked: Advertised with wifi but were advised when we arrived as only camping not available. Also, only two female toilets and one female shower which meant queues to use facilities and we gave up waiting for a shower.The camping pitches were on a slope which meant our tent flooded when it rained on the first night wetting some of our clothes. We had to sleep in the car on the second night which was extremely uncomfortable as the tent hadn't dried out.

Liked: The people that own the grounds where very kind and friendly. The facilities provided where clean and up to a good standard.

Disliked: The power went off on one of the days but was corrected relatively quickly. The pitches are quite bumpy.

Liked: Beautiful site and very clean facilities. Marta and Del were a delight, welcoming and so very helpful. They made the stay amazing. We hired fire pit and the whole stay was thoroughly enjoyable.

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.
