Settle in for sea views from several corners of the site at Tyddyn Goronwy Camping Park in Gwynedd, in the seaside village of Tal-y-Bont and a couple of miles from the beaut beach at Barmouth. Pods and pitches here are flanked by sea and mountain views, and are within easy walking distance of the village, which has a takeaway and a riverside pub. Even closer is Talybont station, a couple of minutes' walk away and handy for outings to Barmouth beach or north to the peaks of Snowdonia. Showers, toilets and a washing-up area are available on site. The pitch price at Tyddyn Goronwy also includes a free leisure pass to its sister park Sunnysands Caravan Park, a short drive away, to use its heated indoor pool, café, fish and chip shop and other facilities – and you might want to stick around for the spectacular beachfront sunsets too.

Camping pod (no pets)

Liked: Everything. The views, the location, the short walk to the beach, the shop on site which has everything you could possibly need, the arcade for some fun. I enjoyed every minute I spent there. There was a gate code and a toilet code for the different areas which made it feel more private. The views were amazing… on one side it was a view of the sea and on the other it was a view of the mountains… there are no words I could use to fully describe it! I would definitely return and I would definitely recommend.

Disliked: To be honest.. there wasn’t anything I didn’t like other than leaving.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Loved the campsite it was really peaceful and loved the location the woman that checked us in was really friendly

Disliked: Was a shame as a big group of people camped on the site the 2nd night we were there and were quite rowdy and noisy all night so didn’t get much sleep… I wasn’t sure who to report it to at that time of night. Also didn’t like the spiders in the shower but no one’s fault!

Local attractions

To Barmouth first, of course: its position on the north Wales coast surrounded by Snowdonia National Park makes it a popular and pretty place to visit – and the huge beach is pretty special to see as well. Away from the coast (eventually), a wide range of activities is available around Tyddyn Goronwy Camping Park, from cycling to hiking to pony trekking – or strap on lots of energy and tackle the Snowdon and Cadair Idris mountain ranges a short distance away. A chuffing good way to see the spectacular scenery of north Wales is on one of its small steam trains: the nearest to Tyddyn Goronwy are the Fairbourne Steam Railway just outside Barmouth and the Ffestiniog Railway about 10 miles away.
