  • Small north Wales touring park for CAMC members only
  • Bodnant Garden and Betws-y-Coed 15 minutes' drive away
  • Adults-only site with secure dog exercise field and dog bath
Small, peaceful, adults-only, dog-friendly… if these words are ticking all the boxes on your wishlist and you’re a member of the Caravan and Motorhome Club, there’s good news for you at Tan Y Ffordd Certificated Location. This north Wales site covers all the bases mentioned above, and its handful of pitches are available to CAMC members only. Each of the pitches is level and fully serviced, with a large hardstanding area and a grass area, providing plenty of privacy and space to set up an awning or put your table and chairs out. Facilities at this friendly site have been nicely thought out by owners Karen and Al, who’ve installed a guest kitchen area, a chemical disposal point and a bathroom block with toilets and showers. Guests can take a stroll through the site’s landscaped gardens and also have access to an adjoining paddock with picnic tables and barbecues for alfresco meals and drinks. Dogs are welcome at this site – and that does indeed mean welcome, not merely tolerated. They’ll have a lovely two-acre fully secure dog field to run around in, and a dog bath is provided too, with temperature-controlled water to make the cleaning-up process as painless as possible. Life on site moves at a fairly slow pace, with lots of birds to spot and some woods to wander in. In contrast, the surrounding area provides plenty of action, whether you’re more inclined to go hiking and zooming down zipwires or prefer to potter around attractive gardens and take seaside walks. The area also has plenty of local country pubs – the closest being in Llangernyw, five minutes’ drive away and also home to the oldest tree in the UK.

What customers say

This immaculate and peaceful adult-only site offers stunning views and is run by incredibly friendly and helpful hosts, Karen and Al. Pitches are spacious, level, and fully serviced. Facilities, including toilets, showers, and a kitchen area, are consistently described as spotlessly clean. Dog owners particularly appreciate the large, secure dog field and dedicated dog shower. The site is well-located for exploring North Wales and offers excellent WiFi. A few guests noted that the shower facilities are small, though perfectly formed, and one reviewer experienced poor WiFi on a specific pitch.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (members only, small)

Liked We liked everything about this immaculate little site. The owners have thought of everything and gone about developing Tan Y Ffordd to an exceptional standard. The space has personality and beauty as well as being spotless. Loved the emphasis on nature and wildlife as well as the peace and the views. Small but perfect bathrooms were warm and pristine. The kitchen area with microwave, kettle and fridge is a triumph and the free tea makes for a lovely welcome. Our actual welcome was equally warm.

Disliked The Road up to the site was very narrow for caravans.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: It's fantastic to know you liked the park layout and facilities, thank you.

Thank you for also addressing the 1.4 miles road that brings our guests to the park. Here is information for the benefit of anyone who is considering booking to stay with us.

Prior to re opening the park earlier this year, we had a highways road assessment.

The report stated the road to us from the village is in a rural position which reflects the surrounding road networks. However, our road is officially described by the Conwy county borough council highways department as a wide country road and will be easily and safely accessible for large motorhomes and twin-axel touring caravans. In addition, the road is extremely quiet and described by them as very light with traffic.

We are so sorry you had an anxious journey up the road. As you explained you had a new caravan and new car so it must have been extremely difficult for you to negotiate roads until you got use to the length and width of your unit. Now you have been to us it will be much easier if you to revisit. We would love to see you both again.

Beautiful site, great views. Dog exercise…

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (members only, small)

Liked The site was lovely and quiet, the facilities were spotless, lots of little pot animals dotted all over the site amidst the flowers and shrubs, large enclosed dog area for them to run free.
The site is run by Karen and Al who are very friendly.

Disliked NOTHING

From the manager: We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the peace and quiet of the park.

Thank you Tommy and Diann for your kindly word, we love going the extra mile with our customer service, it makes your stay more enjoyable. So do the statues amongst the landscaping. They are made by many individuals mostly out of recycled materials.

Please come again, we loved hosting you both and your little dog too.

An excellent site with fully serviced pitches immaculately kept.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (large, members only)

Liked An excellent campsite immaculately kept. The landscaping was beautiful. The owners were there to meet us on arrival and explained everything we needed to know fully. We thought we may have had a problem with our car and the owners were able to recommend a garage just down the road (which fortunately was not needed).
The site is situated in a beautiful valley in a lovely area and if we want a quiet chill out break again we would love to return.

Disliked The only thing we were disappointed with was that once we had put our awning up there wasn’t room for the car on the pitch. The owners suggested where we could park instead and that was fine. Perhaps if we had sited the van differently we could have made it all fit.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Brenda and Ian, that you for taking the time to write a lovely review and share your feedback.

It's fabulous to learn you appreciated the quiet and tranquillity of the site. Being so quiet allows our guests to unwind and reset, good to hear you did just that.

Being different from the traditional pitch parking, we encourage our guests to park anyway they want to on the pitches.10m x 10m pitches do accommodate for large units, large car and awnings with plenty of room to walk around and sit out. Most people park their vehicles slightly different on the pitches which allows car, van and awning comfortably. However, the car parking area is there to use where 3 large vehicles can park easily. I’m glad you parked there.

We loved hosting you both and would love to welcome you back again, until then.
