  • Peaceful family-friendly Llŷn Peninsula site with great sea views
  • Two beaches within 15 minutes' walk, and access to Wales Coast Path
  • Bikes and paddleboards for hire onsite; kids and dogs welcome
If you’re looking at the Llŷn Peninsula as a location for a peaceful break, you’ll certainly want to check out Bryn Bach Caravan and Camping Site. This well-kept and friendly site sits at the far end of the peninsula, making it a setting that’s got plenty of peace and quiet to offer. And it’s also got some rather wonderful views – the pitches here look out over Abersoch Bay to the peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia) beyond. You won’t be limited to looking at the sea from afar though, because it’s just a 15-minute walk to either the southern end of Abersoch’s sheltered main beach or the surfing waves of Porth Ceiriad. Beyond both of those there are plenty more lovely beach areas within a short drive, including the three-mile Porth Neigwl (also known as Hell’s Mouth and popular with surfers) and the ‘Whistling Sands’ of Porthor. The site is just off the Wales Coast Path too, so you may like to take a walk and see if you can spot any of the seals and dolphins that live along the coastline. Want to explore in a different way? There are bikes and paddleboards for hire at the site shop. There’s plenty more in that shop, too – it’s always well stocked, and it has a licence to sell alcohol as well. Among the other facilities on site are a launderette, a washing-up area, a communal freezer, a wifi service and a couple of bathroom blocks. There’s also a sand-covered play area with swings, a slide and a climbing frame to keep the kids busy for a while.

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Nice relaxed campsite, large pitch with great views of Abersoch. Loads of hot water for showers and washing up.

Disliked The smaller loo block in the camping field was in need of a bit of attention.

 Annie J. 1 review

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked The grounds where lovely, showers and ammentities always kept clean

Disliked Unfortunately, our experience with the site manager was disappointing, particularly due to his manner and the patronising tone he used when dealing with both us and our neighbours.

Our neighbours received two warnings about noise, despite their tent being less than five yards from ours. We were in a position to clearly hear what was happening, and at no point did we hear them being excessively loud or playing loud music. In my opinion, they did absolutely nothing wrong. What was particularly disappointing was the way the site manager spoke to them. His manner was extremely patronising, and he spoke to them as though they were children rather than paying customers. It was this manner and tone, rather than simply being spoken to about a site rule, that made them feel uncomfortable enough to leave the site early.

We were also told that the site manager had spoken to other tents about noise, although our neighbours said that this had not happened.

On another occasion, the site manager barged in front of me while I was walking into the top-site showers. He also told my son off twice for riding his electric bike, despite him using it on the slow setting. We noticed several other children riding electric bikes at considerably higher speeds without being spoken to, which made the situation feel inconsistent and unfair.

During the second half of our stay, we had new neighbours whose dog displayed very aggressive behaviour and unfortunately bit my husband on the leg. This was understandably concerning and further affected our overall experience.

Overall, while we completely understand that site rules need to be enforced and that staff have a responsibility to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment, we felt that the way certain situations were handled was unnecessarily confrontational and inconsistent. In particular, the site manager’s manner and patronising tone had a negative impact on our stay and, in our view, directly contributed to our neighbours deciding to leave early. We would strongly encourage management to consider how concerns are communicated to guests, as people can be reminded of the rules without being made to feel belittled or spoken down to.

Siobhan C. 1 review

Back to Nature non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely peaceful site everyone was respectful while we were there and quiet at night. I was camping alone with my kids and I felt safe there.

Disliked The walk to the beach was a bit further than I thought it would be and down a steep hill. So with the kids and all the beach stuff I would have driven down probably if I’d have realised. That’s not really about the site, but just a heads up for others going.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Many thanks for your review Siobhan. It’s wonderful to read you enjoyed the 10pm quiet policy and felt safe at Bryn Bach.
The walk to the end of Abersoch beach is 18 minutes. We provide an illustrated walking map at the office to guests that enquire about local walking routes and always advise that the walk back has a steep section. On the plus side it means we have wonderful sea views at the top of the hill!

Overall a great experience. People camping let them down

 Paul G. 1 review

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked The people running it were great when we arrived, directed and showed us to our spot. Shop had loads to buy and was reasonably priced. Toilets and showers were clean throughout our stay. Clear recycling strategy in place too which was good to see

Disliked The only couple of complaints I would have are the showers don’t stay on long enough when pressed and go from boiling to freezing on each press. Also there were some people camping who decided to start flying round on electric bikes

Back to Nature non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The people who run this site are amazing! We have been twice now and have loved it both times. This time we had an issue with our tent leaking and were given a bell tent free of charge. I would 100% recommend this site.
Back to nature field is exactly that. Facilities are great, we will definitely be back

Disliked Nothing!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay at Bryn Bach again. I’m so pleased we had an empty bell tent so you could complete your stay with us. Thank you for leaving us such a lovely review :)

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked We stayed from Friday evening until Sunday and it was a lovely stay! The site is really friendly and has everything that you need. Park for the children and a little shop that has everything that you might need. The toilet and shower facilities are clean and always tidy. We would highly recommend people booking and would 100% book again if we visit Abersoch in the future.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your 10/10 review Rachel!

Local attractions

There’s almost too much choice around here when it comes to excellent beaches, but you may like to check out top spots like Abersoch (five minutes’ drive), with its watersports and sea-view golf course, or take your surfboard to the reliable waves at three-mile-long Porth Neigwl (Hell’s Mouth) (10 minutes). A walk on the ‘Whistling Sands’ at Porthor beach is a must – as is a pint with your toes in the sand at Porthdinllaen’sTŷ Coch Inn. Both are half an hour’s drive away. Meanwhile, there are boat trips to Bardsey Island from Porth Meudwy (35 minutes) or you can take a walk to Y Dyn Haearn (Tin Man), a sculpture looking out to sea at Llanbedrog (15 minutes). Something a bit different? See modern art in a Gothic mansion at Plas Glyn y Weddw Gallery (15 minutes), meet cute animals – not just rabbits – at Rabbit Farm (half an hour) or step back into the past at Criccieth Castle (35 minutes). There are also lots of indoor and outdoor activities at Glasfryn Parc (half an hour).
