  • Family-friendly smallholding in a rural location on the Llŷn Peninsula
  • Spectacular views towards the peak of Moelypenmaen
  • Lots of open space for kids to play
Get back to nature among spectacular surroundings with a stay at Gwynedd's Rhos Y Foel, in the middle of the Llŷn Peninsula a short drive from more lush landscapes at Snowdonia National Park. Set with views towards the rocky peak of Moelypenmaen, Rhos Y Foel is a small and family-friendly site, with a wide swathe of open space on which the kids can let loose. Well-behaved dogs are welcome. Rhos Y Foel is a level and almost completely flat site – no uncomfy bumpy groundsheet nights here – and has a facilities block with hot running water. Off-ground barbecues are allowed and firepits are available on site: for supplies, the local village is Boduan and the shops and services of market town Pwllheli are a few miles away.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Well maintained site in a lovely scenic location. Marta was lovely and showed us around as we arrived and checked in with us to see all was well. Site is very tidy. The showers were AMAZING, and the facilities were great. Location is brilliant, short drive to many beaches and to the town Pwllheli.

Jennifer T.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked The site was quiet during our stay which was lovely. On arrival you are directed to the site map on the barn wall which shows you the pitch that you are on. We found this great as you can go right ahead and start to unpack. Site Manager came over to chat with us and gave us a list of do’s and don’t for the site including her contact number should we need to get in touch. Pitches have plenty of space and are relatively level. You are advised to park your car in front of the pitch. Toilets and showers were always clean (love that the showers are the ones you don’t need to constantly press to get them to work!) Two outdoor sinks to wash your pots and pans with plenty of hot water. The kids really enjoyed the empty space to play around, we joined them to play with the bat and ball (note that it has to be a soft ball, as per site rules). During the evening it was nice to see others with their fire pits (which you can borrow from the site) and how relaxing it was.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked From when we arrived to when we left we had a good experience. Marta was there to welcome us, providing us with information for the site and surrounding area., nothing was to much trouble. The site was very clean, fabulous shower and toilet facilities, cleaning area and designated waste area all clearly labelled. The pitch had plenty of space around it, wrapped by mountain views. Also very peaceful. We will 100% be staying again

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked The site was a lovely little site and the camp manager was so attentive, checking in with us everyday making sure we were ok especially with the heat over the past week. The amenities were well cared for and looked after, being cleaned every morning and refilled. Good size pitches allowing a lot of room from number to number. Will definitely be returning.

Disliked Nothing.

Mentioned that WiFi is coming next year but always had good signal throughout our time here.

Local attractions

As you'll know if you've ever had the sense to go there, the Llŷn Peninsula is lovely land, with sea all around as it jabs 30 miles into the Irish Sea from north-west Wales's tip. Rhos Y Foel is in an excellent setting to get to the best of its hills and coast in the site surrounds, and to explore the mountains and other highlights of Snowdonia a short drive away. Around the peninsula, have seaside days at resorts like Abersoch, Nefyn, Morfa Nefyn and Pwllheli, all just a few miles away, or get active with afternoons among the wakeboarding, bowling, quad biking, go karting and fishing of Glasfryn Parc nearby at Pwllheli; soft play, food, a farm shop and a bar are at this latter as well. Paintball is nearby if you want to take things up a notch. Another top local option for families is the award-winning GreenWood Forest Park, where you can paddle among trees, make things work at the world's only people-powered rollercoaster, see a live show, meet the animals or try den building and archery. More animal meeting is at Dwyfor Rabbit Farm, or drive to the foot of Snowdonia for a more active family day out at Gypsy Wood. The famed 18-hole Nefyn & District Golf Club at Porthdinllaen is only a few minutes from the site.
