  • Peaceful village site by the Artro river and two miles from the coast
  • Portmeirion 25 minutes' drive; 50 minutes to Snowdon
  • Families, motorcyclists and Duke of Edinburgh groups welcome
It's a breeze to get down to the coast from this site in Gwynedd, as The Mill Caravan Park and Camping Site is a mere two miles from the beach. Set on the edge of the peaceful village of Llanbedr, close to Snowdonia National Park, it’s also well-placed for waterside wanders, as the peaceful river Artro can be accessed a few metres from the pitches. Being so close to the village centre makes staying here a fair bit easier. In terms of food, Llanbedr's shops, restaurants and pubs are five minutes away on foot. Transport-wise, there are buses, the A496 that heads up into the mountains and, on the western side of the village, Llanbedr railway station (about 20 minutes’ walk). Back on site, you'll be settling down in the main site field, a wide open space with vistas over a thickly forested hill. Barbecues and dogs are welcome here. The Mill Caravan Park and Camping Site is popular with family groups, motorcyclists on road trips around the national park and Duke of Edinburgh groups, who regularly stop off here to take advantage of the great views and transport links. The fact that the Welsh coast is so close is another big plus: Barmouth and Harlech are 15 minutes' drive from site, while the pastel-coloured houses of Portmeirion are 25 minutes away.

What customers say

This quiet, well-kept campsite offers a peaceful location within a short walk of local pubs and a village shop. Pitches are generally flat with no trouble for tent pegs. Reviewers praised the hot, continuous showers and clean, basic facilities. Some guests highlighted friendly owners and a good value experience. Concerns were raised regarding non-functioning toilets for a period, a full communal bin, and inconsistent amenity cleanliness for some.

Suzanne C.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Location, nice pub in walking distance.

Disliked Site was over crowded. Tents seriously close to each other. No room for cars in between.

Very noisy one night, group included site owner!

I found site owner to be over friendly.

Toilets not monitered, so no toilet roll on bank hol Monday morning. Bins were overflowing.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Green rustic setting .. close to town dog friendly … albeit lots cats roaming

Disliked Appalling reception … owner moaning about number of customers … we even heard him disawade a couple from stopping even though like us they had booked and paid on pitch up … Complete lack of organisation of pitches .. toilets and showers very very run down … even had to chase up lack of loo roll in all toilets. Late nite noise

Liked We really enjoyed our stay at the campsite! Everything was great – the location, the atmosphere, and the friendly staff.

Disliked The only downside was that there weren’t enough hooks or shelves in the toilets and kitchen for convenience.

Howard M.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked The campsite is in a great location - handy for the local beaches and within easy reach of the mountains. Also the nearest pub is 5 minutes walk away and has a great beer garden. We found the campsite to be peaceful and much cleaner than most small sites we’ve visited. Basic but meets all needs. The owner is a character!

Disliked Nothing - no complaints.

Janine G.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked (All pitches are the same whether for motor home or tent )
We have stayed here a few times, we like the site location. At times the site is quiet and peaceful, and we will stay again

Disliked The facilities are very basic , and the maintenance/checks not good ( no toilet rolls / having to take your own when you go) One toilet door in ladies doesn’t close properly so can’t be locked .
Shower in ladies good, but men’s , no lock on door, nowhere to hang clothes while showering.
Whilst the booking of pitches now seems to be online only, that seems a little unpredictable. I wouldn’t feel that it guaranteed me a pitch. There is no supervision of where people pitch, and people arrive with multiple vehicles and park wherever , which blocks available pitches , and can make for cramped , close environments. People also tearing branches off trees around site behind our pitch for their evening fire

Local attractions

Beach time at Barmouth (15 minutes' drive) will keep the kids happy in fine weather, while for a bit of high-adrenaline adventure there's also the go-karting on offer at Glasfryn Parc (45 minutes) or Zip World Fforest (45 minutes), home to Wales' famous forest rollercoaster. For the bravest thrill-seekers, this site is also conveniently close to Skydiving Snowdonia (five minutes). Hiking up mountains such as Snowdon (50 minutes) in the National Park is another popular option. Cader Idris (an hour and 10 minutes) is also a very popular peak and has great views over southern Snowdonia, plus you'll often get the chance to see planes zooming over the Mach Loop low-flying aircraft practice area on its eastern flank. There's also a lot of history around these parts, as these ancient hills have been inhabited since before written records began. Head to Llanbedr's neolithic standing stones (a few minutes' walk from site) if you want to learn more, or take the time to visit the imposing castle in Harlech (15 minutes), built in 1290 in a strategic position overlooking the Irish Sea as part of the so-called Iron Ring.
