  • Access to facilities of sister site including swimming pool
Settle in for sea views from several corners of the site at Tyddyn Goronwy Camping Park in Gwynedd, in the seaside village of Tal-y-Bont and a couple of miles from the beaut beach at Barmouth. Pods and pitches here are flanked by sea and mountain views, and are within easy walking distance of the village, which has a takeaway and a riverside pub. Even closer is Talybont station, a couple of minutes' walk away and handy for outings to Barmouth beach or north to the peaks of Snowdonia. Showers, toilets and a washing-up area are available on site. The pitch price at Tyddyn Goronwy also includes a free leisure pass to its sister park Sunnysands Caravan Park, a short drive away, to use its heated indoor pool, café, fish and chip shop and other facilities – and you might want to stick around for the spectacular beachfront sunsets too.

Paul R.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Location was good, camp site was quite small so easy access to the toilets and showers. Great views.

Disliked Pitch right next to the bins 😔😔😔 felt more like we were in the way of the constant traffic to and from the bins. Not sure why they’d even try a squash another pitch in there . On the third morning the bins hadn’t been collected so there was rubbish everywhere. There was nobody in the office to complain to. Kids weren’t impressed with toilet:/shower facilities. Cobwebs and clumps of hair- not a good combination.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked The site and the location and the laid back feel of the camp site.

The amenities nearby and having the station to travel into Barmouth

Disliked This was our third visit and there is still only 1 washing up sink for the whole site.

We had booked 3 pitches with another family and had specificed this on out booking (including booking references) and the other family had called the site to ask for the pitches to be put together which they confirmed. We were called on the day of our arrival by the site to be told the pitches were not together as we had booked through Pitch up and the site were not helpful in trying to be flexibe and accommodate. When we arrived someone was already on one of the pitches they had allocated us. Luckily two of our tents we not that small we managed to get all 3 on two pitches. This did not spoil our say but was just disappointing as everyoen at the site has always been so helpful in the past

Local attractions

To Barmouth first, of course: its position on the north Wales coast surrounded by Snowdonia National Park makes it a popular and pretty place to visit – and the huge beach is pretty special to see as well. Away from the coast (eventually), a wide range of activities is available around Tyddyn Goronwy Camping Park, from cycling to hiking to pony trekking – or strap on lots of energy and tackle the Snowdon and Cadair Idris mountain ranges a short distance away. A chuffing good way to see the spectacular scenery of north Wales is on one of its small steam trains: the nearest to Tyddyn Goronwy are the Fairbourne Steam Railway just outside Barmouth and the Ffestiniog Railway about 10 miles away.
