  • Small family site five minutes’ drive from Aberdaron and its beach
  • On the Llŷn Peninsula, 15 minutes’ drive from Porthor beach
  • Working farm a couple of minutes’ walk from the Wales Coast Path
Are you getting away to the Llŷn Peninsula, Wales’ pretty National Landscape scattered with sandy beaches and small coastal villages where seals and dolphins can often be spotted not too far from shore? Well, good news, because Solfach is handily based just a five-minute drive from one of its most popular seaside villages, Aberdaron. The village's mile-long sandy beach, backed by green fields and buildings that include two pubs, a shop, a bakery and cafés, is conveniently close. In fact, you could walk there in about 20 minutes along the Wales Coast Path, which is just a couple of minutes’ stroll from your base. It's just one of the excellent local walks that await you in this gorgeous part of the world. As a small one-acre family site on a working farm, this is a properly rural setting. Still, facilities are nicely done; there’s a toilet block with proper flushing loos, a shower and an indoor washing-up sink. Your dogs are welcome to come along here, as long as you take care to keep them on a lead at all times (this is a farm, after all). Staying here places you within 15 minutes' drive of the whistling sands of Porthor and nice and close to Bardsey Island. Ferries leave from Porth Meudwy, five minutes’ drive away, to see its remote banks. Bring your binoculars to try and spy some of the many migratory birds that drift in and out of the area in spring and autumn, as well as the grey seals living along its rocky shores. Dolphins are also fond of the area.

Electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked Loved the site, the space, and the fact that it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere (with no light pollution).

The facilities - toilets and showers looked brand new, and were clean and well maintained. I didn't have much change for the showers when we arrived, but the owner came down on his quad with some pound coins to make sure we had money for showers, fortunately, we'd been to Aberdaron in the meantime and returned with enough change, but thought it was a kind gesture.

Loved the fact that the night we were there it was the peak of the meteor showers and the Milky Way was visible. We laid on the grass on our pitch after dark and saw dozens of shooting stars.

The lack of 4g or internet wasn't an issue for me. I barely had any phone reception the whole time I was on the Llyn Peninsula.

I hope to return in the future.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked On a main road so easy to find and get to. Not very crowded so could choose own spot.

Disliked Only one toilet per males and one per females and only one shower in total, which although free to use, was cold. It wouldn't warm up at all.
No WiFi, and nowhere to charge phone or battery.
Didn't see owners either, its nice to just be welcomed and have a point of contact for any queries.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: There are two toilets per male and female so 4 in total, and two showers per male and female. They are mot free to use, and shouldn't be cold either. Very sorry if i missed you, but i cant understand how i missed you as your stay states you were here for 4 nights? We dont currently offer wifi but that is something we might look into next year.
Thanks again for staying with us.

Amazing campsite with amazing people people staying there.

Local attractions

The Llŷn Peninsula is known for its sandy beaches, so it's only natural that you’d want to see as many as possible. Aberdaron beach (20 minutes’ walk) is the closest spot, a mile along, with rockpools that appear at low tide. Porthor (15 minutes’ drive), owned by the National Trust, is famed for its ‘whistling sands’; walk barefoot along the sand and listen out to see why. Porth Neigwl (35 minutes) is another stunning spot with four miles' worth of sand to walk on. Surfers tend to like this spot for its fairly consistent southwest swells, so do pack your board and booties too. A beach picnic will, of course, require some supplies. Plenty of local produce can be sourced in Pwllheli (40 minutes), a market town where one of North Wales’ largest outdoor street markets pops up every Wednesday. Its marina is host to lively watersports events throughout the year, and it even has two beaches of its own, one of which has views of distant peaks in Eryri (Snowdonia National Park).
