Looking up to harlech castle
Nearby beach

  • Well-kept family-run touring park in Harlech, with mountain views
  • Beach and castle 10 minutes' walk; Portmeirion 20 minutes' drive
  • Dog-friendly site with agility course and dog wash area
Heading to Harlech and hoping to catch a glimpse of the castle? You’ll be able to do rather more than that at Min Y Don Caravan Park – this fabulous touring park sits just at the foot of the castle hill, and it will only take you about 10 minutes to walk over there from the pitches. In fact, as Harlech is such a compact little town, nothing is very far away from the site – there’s a golf club next door, the sandy beach is about 10 minutes’ stroll away through the dunes and pubs, restaurants, cafés, shops and the railway station are all within just a few minutes’ walk as well. With the main coastal road (the A496) running through the town, Harlech also makes a great base for some time spent exploring the coast and the rest of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. Popular attractions like Llanfair Slate Caverns and Portmeirion are within easy reach, as are heaps of outdoor activities around the national park – hiking, mountain biking and climbing as well as the thrills of the various Zip World parks. It’s not all about location though, because this is also a very peaceful and well-maintained park where the owners have put a lot of effort into making sure the facilities are just right for all guests. That means things like a play area for families with young kids, accessible bathrooms for wheelchair users and a dog agility course and washing area for pets who like to get mucky on their outings. There’s also a launderette, a motorhome service point and EV chargers as well as a well-kept bathroom block.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Fully serviced pitches , beautifully kept site. Great dog agility park and a fantastic beach a ten minute walk away.

Disliked Did not like the mat in the dog wash area - it needs a much bigger mat. My dogs nail got caught in the holes in the bottom of the bath as the mat was way too small for the size of the bath - please change it !

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your great review

We’re really pleased you enjoyed the fully serviced pitches, the condition of the park, and made the most of both our dog agility area and the beautiful beach nearby.

Thank you as well for your feedback regarding the dog wash area. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. This is something we will review as a priority, as the safety and comfort of our four legged guests is very important to us.

We hope to welcome you and your dogs back again soon!

NEVILLE D.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked This site is so well kept , spotlessly clean everywhere and lots of beautiful plants. The location and views were amazing . The amenities were great and the local beach was beautiful and a great walk. The town was also lovely and there's a great little supermarket just at the top of the road. BUT , the best part for me was the amazing , helpfull and happy staff. Nothing was too much trouble and they did everything they could to keep everyone's stay pleasurable.
The cakes at the coffee cart by the entrance were also great. We had a fabulous time and will definitely return.

Disliked We didn't dislike anything but it would be nice if the wifi supported TV's as standard, I don't know how much the premium wifi costs as we didn't need our TV on so didn't need to ask the price but lots of other sites include this in the nightly cost.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for such a wonderful review, it really means a lot to us!

We’re delighted you enjoyed the cleanliness of the site and appreciated all the little details, from the plants to the views.

Your kind words about our team are especially appreciated. We’ll be sure to pass this on to everyone, as they work really hard to make sure every guest has the best possible stay.

And we’re very pleased the coffee cart (and cakes!) got a mention too.

We’re so glad you had a fabulous time, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Helen A.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Large, immaculate holiday home site, with a number of touring pitches at the far end. The facilities block is particularly impressive, with heated toilet and shower sections, washing up area, separate post-beach shower and another for your dogs. Even the Elsan room was spotless and sweet-smelling! It's a 10 minute walk to the huge beach and a steep 20 minute climb up to the castle and the town.

Disliked Sadly, the otherwise excellent showers weren't adjustable, so a nuisance if you're not wanting to wash your hair and the water temperature was a bit too hot for me. The basin taps also spray, providing an extra shower when washing your hands or cleaning your teeth! Unfortunately on our second day there we were subjected to the noise from chainsaws and other machinery on the other side of the hedge, presumably from the adjoining property and nothing to do with the site management, but it lasted all day from 8am and was extremely loud.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your stay.

We’re really pleased to hear that you found the site immaculate and enjoyed the spacious setting, as well as our facilities block. It’s great to know the heated amenities, washing areas, and even the smaller details like the Elsan room made a positive impression. We’re also glad you were able to make the most of our location, with easy access to the beach and the walk up to the castle and town.

We do appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the showers and basin taps. Your comments are very helpful, and we will certainly review these points to see where improvements can be made to enhance guest comfort.

We’re sorry to hear that your stay was affected by noise from the neighboring property. As you mentioned, this is unfortunately outside of our control, but we completely understand how disruptive it must have been and regret the impact it had on your experience.

Thank you again for your balanced feedback it’s invaluable in helping us continue to improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more peaceful and equally enjoyable stay in the future.

Local attractions

Of course you’ll want to start with Harlech Castle, a UNESCO-listed medieval fortress high on a hill above the town. After that, delve into more of the local history with a candlelight tour of Llanfair Slate Caverns (five minutes’ drive), a walk to the seaside church of St Tanwg’s (five minutes) and a trip to coastal Castell Cricieth (25 minutes). Being in Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park means that you’ll be surrounded by gorgeous scenery – the trails of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) are about half an hour’s drive away, and there are fabulous walking trails almost everywhere you look. Coed y Brenin Forest Park (35 minutes) is the place for mountain bikers, and there are adventures galore at Zip World Llechwedd (half an hour). For more leisurely outings, take a stroll through Morfa Harlech National Nature Reserve (by the site), ride the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways (20 minutes) or explore colourful Portmeirion (20 minutes). Childrens Farm Park (five minutes) is a great option if you’ve brought the kids.
