  • Small and scenic Llŷn Peninsula site, 15 mins' drive from Pwllheli
  • Tre'r Ceiri Hillfort five minutes' drive; 20 minutes to Abersoch
  • Dog-friendly site with dark skies for excellent stargazing
Families, couples, small groups, solo travellers, dog owners… there’s a warm Welsh welcome for all guests at this small site on the Llŷn Peninsula. In a rural location about 15 minutes’ drive from Pwllheli, Tyn on the Llyn Campsite is a scenic spot with gorgeous views of the surrounding landscapes, particularly at sunset. Being well away from any urban light pollution, there’s often also some spectacular stargazing to be done here on clear nights. Just the thing for some time spent appreciating the power of nature… To help preserve this fantastic location, facilities here are as eco-friendly as possible, with compost toilets, renewable energy and recycling facilities all in place. There’s also a wifi service, a covered communal seating area and a washing-up area with possibly one of the best views you’ve ever had while tackling the suds. Pwllheli is a handy source of shops and places to eat, and it’s also home to a three-mile stretch of beach that’s great for a family day out. There are more beaches nearby too: long sandy stretches, hidden coves and west-facing beaches with big waves for the surfers. As well as all that, there are various outdoor activities including watersports and mountain biking close by, and a whole lot of excellent historic attractions. The closest of these, at a few minutes’ drive, is Tre'r Ceiri Hillfort, known as one of the UK’s best-preserved Iron Age hillforts.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Great set up of showers and compost toilets. The covered kitchen and tables for eating are excellent, and I'm sure much appreciated in the rain. (We had lovely sunny weather). The owner Jamie was so very helpful; he took the time to explain how the campsite functions, where to visit locally and was always available on site if you needed anything.
The location is perfect for "getting away from it all". Great views, wonderful sunsets and the peace of the countryside. Highly recommend!

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Such a wonderful stay. The location is perfect for visiting so many wonderful areas. The campsite is so quiet and relaxing. It has everything you could want from excellent showers to extremely private large pitches. The views are spectacular looking over to the ancient iron age fort. The owner is so so helpful and keeps the campsite immaculate. We have never stayed at a campsite so quiet it was pure peace. We will be returning

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked What a wonderful site. Jamie was such a welcoming host, the site was tranquil and peaceful with lots of space. It has been created to be as natural as possible - planted trees, areas of longer meadow grasses and off grid amenities. But it also has everything you need to make camping as comfy as possible - kitchen and eating area, warm water, plugs to charge your phone, showers, wifi that reaches far across the site etc. It's well located to travel across the Llyn Peninsula too. We had a great stay. Thank you

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Everything! A very peaceful site, fantastic views and lots of space. Very well kept, with lots of birds and butterflies.
Jamie and Sylvie are the perfect hosts, with lots of suggestions for walks, beaches, places to eat and information about the community shop and pub, and the nearby Welsh Language Centre. Jamie even helped us with van awning issues!
The kind of site you don't need to worry about before you turn up, and you'll get the wow factor when you do!
Thanks Jamie and Sylvie, see you next time!

Disliked Absolutely nothing to dislike! Loved it!
