  • Peaceful dog-friendly Llŷn Peninsula site on a family-run working farm
  • Abersoch and Aberdaron 15 minutes' drive; 20 minutes to Pwllheli
  • Hardstanding pitches with access to a play area and walking trails
If you’re after a real rural setting for your van stay, you can hardly do better than a site on a working farm – and that’s what you’ll get with the touring pitches at Gelliwig Farm Caravan Park. This peaceful site is part of a family-run farm on the Llŷn Peninsula, and it’s surrounded by wonderful farmland and open countryside – a lovely backdrop for a few days of rural relaxation. Make sure to pack your barbecue for a stay here, because you’ll certainly want to spend an evening or few tending the grill while soaking up the scenery and friendly, laidback atmosphere. You’ll be parking up on well-kept hardstanding pitches with electric and water hook-ups plus access to a chemical disposal point. Other handy facilities include a play area, a launderette and a bathroom block with modern toilets and showers (including an accessible wet room with a ramp). Abersoch (15 minutes’ drive) and Pwllheli (20 minutes) are your closest towns for shops and places to eat, and both lovely places to hit the beach or find watersports activities. Places like Hell’s Mouth (Porth Neigwl), Aberdaron and Porthor’s ‘Whistling Sands’ are within easy reach too, as are walks on the Wales Coast Path. Closer to home, you’re also welcome to take a wander along the farm’s own private pathways – particularly handy if you’ve brought a dog that needs a little walk.

Route directions

On arriving in Botwnnog from Pwllheli, bear left just before the chapel. Continue straight ahead, passing a new housing development on the right and a smallholding on the left. Cross the humpback bridge and continue past the layby, surrounded by open fields. Turn left, signposted Dead End, and follow the road to its end. You will see a stone entrance and a river on your right. Turn right here (do not continue straight ahead) and follow the concrete drive. Gelliwig Farm Caravan Park is on your left.

Local attractions

The Llŷn Area of Outstanding Beauty is a fabulous area for walkers, cyclists and wildlife watchers. You can also get out on horseback or seek out historic spots like the Tre'r Ceiri hillfort (half an hour’s drive). For something a bit different, Glasfryn Parc (half an hour) has various activities including watersports, an aqua park, archery and go-karting. The Wales Coast Path is always good for a scenic walk as well – or you could just head straight to a beach for some swimming, sandcastle building and watersports. Porth Neigwl, aka Hell’s Mouth (10 minutes) is the place for surfing, while Aberdaron (15 minutes), Abersoch (15 minutes) and Pwllheli (20 minutes) are more sheltered. You may also like to try the ‘Whistling Sands’ at Porthor (20 minutes) or have a seaside pint at Tŷ Coch Inn (25 minutes). National Trust - Plas yn Rhiw (15 minutes) and the Llŷn Maritime Museum (25 minutes) are good options for a bit of heritage. Wildlife-spotters, meanwhile, should look out for boat trips to Bardsey Island from Porth Meudwy (25 minutes) – the island is packed with sea birds and you’ll often see dolphins on the journey.
