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 Great location and clean tidy site

Disliked Very rigid on not allowing tents, better onside shop facilities

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the great location and found the site clean and tidy during your stay.

We appreciate your feedback regarding our policy on tents. We do, however, have strict rules in place regarding tents due to our licensing conditions and for the safety and comfort of all our guests. This is also clearly stated on both Pitchup and our own website, where we advise that unfortunately we are unable to accommodate tents.

We’re also grateful for your comments regarding on-site shop facilities. Whilst we do not have a shop on site, there is one conveniently located just a 2-minute walk away, which many of our guests find very useful.

Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back to Min Y Don again in the future.

Stu T.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lovely spacious pitches and immaculate grounds. Facilities were top notch and spotlessly clean. Great play area and footy pitch for the kids and a great dog play area Lovely campsite and will definitely be visiting again.

Disliked This isnt a dislike but more so a suggestion to have temp control added to the showers.
Don't get me wrong they were lovely and warm/hot but being able to control your own temp would be great

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review.

We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed the spacious pitches, immaculate grounds, and that the facilities, play areas, and dog space all helped make your stay a great one. It’s also fantastic to hear you’re planning to visit again we look forward to welcoming you back.

Thank you as well for your suggestion regarding temperature control in the showers. The showers are set to a specific temperature for safety reasons, helping to ensure a consistent and safe experience for all guests. We do appreciate your feedback though, and it’s something we’ll continue to review as part of ongoing improvements.

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.
